Vacuums shall be equipped with HEPA filters, of sufficient capacity and
necessary capture velocity at the nozzle or nozzle attachment to
efficiently collect, transport and retain the ACM waste material. Power
tools shall not be used to remove ACM unless the tool is equipped with
effective, integral HEPA filtered exhaust ventilation capture and
collection system. Reusable tools shall be thoroughly decontaminated prior
to being removed from regulated areas.
1.21
RENTAL EQUIPMENT
If rental equipment is to be used, written notification shall be provided
to the rental agency, concerning the intended use of the equipment, the
possibility of asbestos contamination of the equipment and the steps that
will be taken to decontaminate such equipment.
1.22
AIR MONITORING EQUIPMENT
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Delete the EPA Transmission Electron
Microscopy (TEM) method if it will not be employed.
**************************************************************************
The Contractor's Designated IH shall approve air monitoring equipment.
The
equipment shall include, but shall not be limited to:
a.
High-volume sampling pumps that can be calibrated and operated at
a constant airflow up to 16 liters per minute.
b.
Low-volume, battery powered, body-attachable, portable personal
pumps that can be calibrated to a constant airflow up to
approximately 3.5 liters per minute, and a self-contained
rechargeable power pack capable of sustaining the calibrated flow
rate for a minimum of 10 hours. The pumps shall also be equipped
with an automatic flow control unit which shall maintain a
constant flow, even as filter resistance increases due to
accumulation of fiber and debris on the filter surface.
c.
Single use standard 25 mm diameter cassette, open face, 0.8 micron
pore size, mixed cellulose ester membrane filters and cassettes
with 50 mm electrically conductive extension cowl, and shrink
bands for personal air sampling.
[d.
Single use standard 25 mm diameter cassette, open face, 0.45
micron pore size, mixed cellulose ester membrane filters and
cassettes with 50 mm electrically conductive cowl, and shrink
bands when conducting environmental area sampling using NIOSH
94-113 Methods 7400 and 7402, (and the transmission electric
microscopy method specified at 40 CFR 763 if required).]
e.
A flow calibrator capable of calibration to within plus or minus 2
percent of reading over a temperature range of minus 20 to plus 60
degrees C minus 4 to plus 140 degrees F and traceable to a NIST
primary standard.
