Warning labels will be affixed to representative samples of friable ACM in areas where employees may reasonably be expected to contact or disturb it, whenever feasible. This supplemental notification will be used mainly in mechanical areas and the like, in order to ensure that employees are adequately warned.

Labels may also be installed on materials that are accessible and have a history of damage wherever necessary. Periodically, the Facilities Management and the Environmental Health and Safety Offices may determine that an area is unsafe due to asbestos contamination including debris and or significantly damaged ACM.

These areas will become regulated areas and access to the space will be restricted through the use of signage and changing locks whenever feasible. These areas will remain locked until a response action has been coordinated to abate the hazard present. A report listing all confined asbestos space areas will be updated and redistributed to appropriate personnel each time an area is added to or deleted from the listing.

Employees seeking entry into these spaces must request approval from the Environmental Health and Safety Office. Access will be granted only to those employees whose level of training and use of personal protective equipment qualify them as individuals authorized to deal with the hazards present. As of January no Facilities personnel are trained to enter these spaces. All emergency work and repairs are performed by an outside company with proper respirator training and NYS Department of Labor license.

Adelphi University will provide employees with the information and training necessary to perform their work safely. Training provided will be commensurate with the class of asbestos operations as defined by the OSHA regulation. Training will be provided at no cost to the employee, during regular working hours, and in an easily understandable format.

Training programs will be provided at the time of the initial assignment. At the present time, Adelphi University employees are not authorized to perform any of the following asbestos removals:. Currently no Adelphi University employees have been trained to remove asbestos. Employees only receive basic asbestos awareness training. The training is performed online. The frequency of the Awareness Training will be determined by the Facilities Management department.

Training attendance shall be recorded and maintained on file in the Facilities Management office and Human Resource Office. Adelphi University will ensure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of asbestos in excess of 0. Adelphi University will ensure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of asbestos in excess of 1. For any one specific task that will be performed by employees who have been trained in compliance with the OSHA regulation, the employer may demonstrate that the employee exposures will be below the OSHA allowable exposure limits.

This assessment will include a review of objective data, work practices, training, and exposure monitoring, as defined in the OSHA regulations. Employees and their designated representatives will be allowed to observe exposure monitoring. When this assessment process concludes that performance of the task following the specified work practices is expected to consistently result in employee exposure below the PELs, that task may be classified as having achieved a Negative Exposure Assessment.

Exposure monitoring results will be communicated to all affected employees in writing as soon as possible and in no case later than within 15 workdays after the receipt of the results. Results may be individually distributed or centrally posted in a location, such as the Facilities Technical Services bulletin board, for review.

Tasks and associated work practices for which negative exposure assessments have been achieved are listed below. Specific work practices are described in the established work practices which might result in new exposures to the facilities workers for review by the Environmental Health and Safety Officer. Asbestos abatement is any activity which has as its principle purpose, the removal, enclosure, or encapsulation of an asbestos containing material.

Prior to conducting an asbestos abatement response action, the following steps are to be implemented:. Prior to the initiation of any major renovation, construction or demolition activity that may impact asbestos or suspect asbestos materials, the university is responsible for conducting an inspection, or building survey, of the affected portion of the building.

Where no survey or an incomplete bulk sampling data of suspect materials exists, the university must arrange for a survey of the affected area to be completed by a NYS DOL certified Asbestos Inspector as outlined in Section 2. The type and size of the written design will vary according to the complexity of the project. These documents can then be used as part of the bid process.

Most projects are small enough in scale, and straightforward enough in concept, that no formal specification is required. Factors which will be taken into consideration in this decision will include:. A comprehensive Asbestos Abatement Specification is a large detailed document with legal language on performance and laws and very specific work methods. This type of document has been used for most large scale complex renovation projects on campus. An Abatement Work Plan Scope of Work is site specific and outlines more general work procedures, highlighting complicated intricacies of a particular project.

There may be some demolition or work in confined areas involved. Scope of Work Plans have been developed for larger abatement projects conducted in occupied buildings, and complete abatements of new, unoccupied properties purchased by the University. Abatement companies subcontracted by General Contractors to perform work in campus buildings shall be pre-approved by the Purchasing Department.

Asbestos Abatement Companies shall not subcontract any abatement processes. Once contractors have been selected to perform an asbestos abatement, and a project schedule has been determined, external notifications must be filed. Emergency asbestos responses may be arranged in response to unexpected incidents and uncontrolled events see Section 7.
