Keep all removed <br /> material wet enough to prevent fiber release until it can be <br /> containerized for disposal. If work area temperatures are below 32 <br /> F and amended water is subject to freezing, dry removal permits and <br /> procedures must be utilized (See 2.1.2.1). Maintain a high humidity <br /> in the work area by misting or spraying to assist in fiber settling <br /> and reduce airborne concentrations. Wetting procedures are not <br /> equally effective on all types of asbestos containing materials but, <br /> shall none-the-less be used in all cases. <br /> <br /> 3.4.3 Saturated asbestos containing material shall be removed in manageable <br /> sections. Removed material should be containerized before moving to <br /> a new location for continuance of work. Surrounding areas shall be <br /> periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet condition until visible <br /> material is cleaned up. <br /> <br /> 3.4.4 Material removed from building structures or components shall not be <br /> dropped or thrown to the floor. Material should be removed as intact <br /> sections or components whenever possible and carefully lowered to the <br /> floor. If this cannot be done for materials greater than 50 feet <br /> above the floor, a dust-tight chute shall be constructed to transport <br /> the material to containers on the floor or the material may be <br /> containerized at elevated levels (e.g. on scaffolds) and carefully <br /> lowered to the ground by mechanical means. For materials between 15 <br /> and 12 feet above the ground they may be containerized at elevated <br /> <br /> 4/11/03 69 <br /> <br /> <br />
