THE CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH <br />PROJECT NO. 21-1011 <br />BUILDING DEPARTMENT RELOCATION TO ANNEX <br /> <br />Project No. 21-1011 November 2024 028200 Asbestos Abatement-12 <br />off-site shipment must be procured by the LBNL Waste Management Group. Call LBNL <br />Waste Management for guidance (486-6825). <br /> <br />3.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br /> <br />A. Site Tests: <br /> <br />1. Respiratory protective equipment shall be quantitatively fit tested, including PAPR <br />units. Qualitative fit test using irritant smoke tests or other qualitative test <br />methods shall not be acceptable. <br />2. All HEPA vacuums and negative air machines (including spare negative air <br />machines) shall be challenge tested, by emery oil aerosol or equivalent, and <br />certified as in "passing” condition prior to work commencing. Testing shall be <br />completed in the presence of the University Industrial Hygienist and shall be <br />conducted at the Berkeley Lab outside of buildings in unoccupied areas. If any <br />units fail, no work will be allowed with those units and the units shall be removed <br />from the Berkeley Lab. Maintenance or repair work at the Berkeley Lab shall not <br />be allowed on vacuums or negative air machines that have failed the challenge <br />aerosol testing. Negative air machines and HEPA vacuums shall be tested every <br />three months, and immediately after changing HEPA filters, and remain onsite <br />during the duration of the project. HEPA vacuums and negative air machines <br />shall not be used after changing HEPA filters until they have been tested by a <br />challenge aerosol. <br /> <br />B. Inspection (Asbestos Air Monitoring): <br /> <br />1. Personal Exposure Monitoring Results: Subcontractor shall provide personal air <br />monitoring of its employees, in accordance with requirements of 29 CFR <br />1926.1101. Per 1.05 (A)(3)(a) of this section, the Subcontractor shall submit air <br />samples to an analytical laboratory accredited by the American Industrial <br />Hygiene Association (AIHA) for analysis by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) per <br />NIOSH method 7400. <br /> <br />a. The personal air monitoring data shall include the employee's name, <br />date of monitoring, task(s) performed, employees represented by the <br />monitoring, analytical result, and time-weighted average exposure. <br />b. The analytical lab results shall be submitted to the University’s Project <br />Manager within 24 hours of sample collection. <br /> <br />2. The University’s Industrial Hygienist may conduct personal asbestos air <br />monitoring on the subcontractor’s employees at any time to verify <br />Subcontractor's compliance with these Specifications and OSHA regulations. <br /> <br />3. Monitoring During Asbestos Removal and Decontamination: The University’s <br />Industrial Hygienist, or its representative, may conduct quality control and area <br />monitoring at any time during potential worker exposure to airborne asbestos. If <br />monitoring outside the control area shows airborne concentrations exceed 0.01 <br />fibers per cubic centimeter air (f/cc), the Subcontractor shall immediately stop all <br />work, correct the condition(s) causing the increase and notify the Project <br />Manager. <br /> <br />3.6 CLEANING
