GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Make a determination as to whether any
material of a hazardous nature, as classified in the
National Emissions Standards, OSHA, or EPA
regulations, will result from the work described.
If such material is determined likely, specify
precautions and standards to be complied with.
Since the Contractor performs the work, he shall be
the one responsible for complying with all necessary
regulations.
Protect personnel from possible airborne
contaminants, such as asbestos fibers and metal
dusts.
For Navy projects: Contact an industrial hygienist
at (1) a Navy Regional Medical Center, (2) A Navy
Environmental and Preventive Medicine Unit, or (3)
the Navy Environmental Health Center for assistance.
Disposal of materials shall not endanger or pollute
the environment. Obtain assistance from the
environmental branch of the Engineering Field
Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command
or from the Naval Facilities Engineering Service
Center, Port Hueneme, California.
Non-friable materials containing asbestos, such as
cement-asbestos siding and roofing and
vinyl-asbestos flooring materials, normally do not
require special handling and disposal procedures
unless such materials are sawn, ground, sanded,
drilled, pulverized, or handled in such a manner
that will cause dust and airborne asbestos fiber to
be released. Thus the removal of non-friable
asbestos will not normally require the use of
Section 13281N, ENGINEERING CONTROL OF ASBESTOS
CONTAINING MATERIALS or Section 13280A ASBESTOS
HAZARD CONTROL ACTIVITIES. If the project contains
non-friable asbestos that is considered to be
hazardous due to material condition (broken down or
excessively old and decayed) or demolition
procedures to be used, then specify the non-friable
asbestos to be removed in accordance with Section
13281N or 13280A.
For "LANTNAVFACENGCOM" projects use "project site"
in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; for all other projects use
"station daily."
