Asbestos Awareness
Reference: B-1
The Company will ensure workers receive awareness training and how to follow safe practices. To help reduce
worker exposure to airborne fibers, asbestos must be handled, mixed, applied, removed, cut, scored, or
otherwise worked in a wet state. This “wet” method must also be used when products containing asbestos are
removed from bags, cartons, or containers. If this is not possible, removal must be done in an enclosed or wellventilated area.
Compressed air can be used to remove asbestos containing materials only if the compressed air is used in
conjunction with an enclosed ventilated system designed to capture the dust cloud created by the compressed
air.
Housekeeping
All surfaces must be maintained as free as practicable of accumulations of asbestos containing dust and waste.
Floors and other surfaces contaminated with asbestos should only be cleaned by vacuuming and/or wet cleaning
methods. Asbestos waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, and equipment must be disposed of in sealed
impermeable bags or containers.
