The above referenced Asbestos Contained Building Materials may be left in place if deemed to be in good condition and no repairs or
renovations are scheduled which would disturb them. Care should be taken to ensure that the materials not be disturbed during repair,
renovation or remodelling activities which could possibly release fibers into the air. To reduce the intrinsic liability to the owners, the
ultimate solution may be to have the material removed. However, at the minimum, a formal Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program
is recommended to minimize potential fiber releases, monitor any future deterioration, and to ensure proper record keeping.
Under the FDEP regulations, Category I non- friable asbestos- containing materials may be left in place during demolition under wet
conditions. However, OSHA regulations require that disposal of asbestos - containing materials and debris is disposed of in a leak -tight and
labeled container. The container may be plastic bags so long as the holding is leak- tight. All materials must be disposed of in a Class I
landfill and manifest as Category I Non - Friable Asbestos containing material.
To meet the requirements of a wet demolition, it is the responsibility of the demolition contractor to control any visible emissions by
adequately applying water on the structure. Furthermore, the work practices for the demolition of a building containing asbestos must be
in regulatory compliance with OSHA 1926.1101. All materials must be kept thoroughly wet or saturated during the demolition to assist in
preventing the release of asbestos fibers. A certified asbestos supervisor must perform or supervise the work. If during the demolition
process visible emissions are observed, the asbestos - containing materials must then be abated.
The regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) applies to any detectable amount of asbestos in building
materials or on facility components. This requirement covers worker training, work practices, and disposal methods. In summary, removing
asbestos in a commercial setting requires training, specific work practices, and disposal methods for the asbestos and asbestos - containing
debris.
However, if Category I Materials have become friable or are in poor condition, they must be removed before demolition or renovation begins
by a Florida Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor.
When implementing the response actions, parties responsible for final selection should remember that actions shall be sufficient to protect
human health and the environment, but may also be the least burdensome method. Nothing in these recommendations should be construed
as prohibiting or discouraging removal.
