ACM Asbestos Containing Material..

Asbestos
Asbestos is a class of aluminum, magnesium, or other metal silicate minerals that occur in
fibrous form including chrysotile, anthophyllite, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, and
any of these minerals that have been chemically treated and/or altered.

APR - air purifying respirator

AHERA - Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act.
Asbestos abatement-
asbestos abatement is any removal or encapsulation of asbestos from a structure, facility, or
equipment during renovation, demolition, or maintenance.
Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM):-- A substance composed of asbestos of any type and
in an amount equal to or greater than 1 percent by sample volume, whether alone or mixed
with other fibrous or non-fibrous constituents. If a substance contains asbestos but is not
considered to be ACM because of the percentage, a negative exposure assessment shall be
performed to ensure employees' safety.

Asbestos fiber- An asbestos fiber is an asbestos particle that has an aspect ratio (length to
width) of at least 3:1 and is longer than 5 micrometers. Shorter asbestos fibers are now under
scrutiny as fibers of concern...
Asbestos inspection – The process of identifying asbestos type (e.g., chrysotile, amosite),
matrix (e.g., thermal system insulation, transit, gasket). location (e.g., hot water valve on fourth
floor. east corridor, north end), condition (e.g., undamaged, damaged, significantly damaged),
and quantity (e.g., 50 cubic feet of thermal system insulation).
Asbestos inspection plan
A detailed stand-alone document developed by the asbestos inspector to identify the type,
location, condition, and quantity of asbestos
on a job site. This plan will detail applicable standards, sample methods, equipment and tools,
laboratory requirements, etc. that will be used during the inspection

Asbestos inspector - A person who has successfully completed the acceptable initial asbestos
inspector course and the annual updates and whose training is current within the last 12
months..

Asbestos management plan (AMP)

A section of the site HS&E plan that addresses site-specific asbestos policies. This is a brief
description of how asbestos will be handled onsite and will define required programs and
approvals that must be in place before any work involving asbestos is performed. This plan
does not replace the detailed asbestos inspection, asbestos abatement, or asbestos operations
and maintenance plans.

Asbestos operations and maintenance plan (O&M plan)

A detailed stand-alone document defining how maintenance and cleanup activities that involve
asbestos will be accomplished to minimize exposure and spread of contamination. This plan
must be approved by the ACP (Asbestos competent person) and be in place before the work is
performed.
Asbestos survey - A survey performed by an asbestos competent person involving the
physical observation of an asbestos work process, work location, or work condition. The
asbestos survey is meant to provide due diligence in ensuring that subcontractors perform
work in compliance with contractual requirements. If CHEC self performs asbestos work, an
asbestos survey is meant to ensure that the asbestos work activities conform to federal, state,
and/or local regulations.

Encapsulation: Asbestos-containing material coated with a penetrating or bridging sealant to

prevent release of asbestos fibers into the air.

Breathing zone - The radius around an individual's head equal to the distance from the mouth
to the lapel.

Occupational exposure limit (OEL) - An 8-hour time-weighted average of 0.1 fibers longer
than 5 micrometers per cubic centimeter of air (flee) determined in the individual's breathing
zone. A 1 f/cc OEL averaged over 30 minutes may be used, but the 8-hour TWA must still be in
effect.

Personal sampling - Collection of an air sample within the breathing zone of a worker

Presumed asbestos containing material (PACM)

A material that could be asbestos but has not been sampled to confirm asbestos and therefore
is considered to be asbestos. Once it is designated as PACM, only an asbestos inspector can
remove it as PACM.

Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M): Specific procedures and practices developed
for the interim control of asbestos containing materials in buildings until they are removed .

Removal: The asbestos-containing material is removed from UCI buildings by qualified

professionals and, if applicable, state licensed and trained personnel and disposed of by burial
in a site specifically approved for asbestos.
1. PURPOSE
This plan and Procedure provide guidelines for asbestos removal activities performed in
Consolidation Works of First and Second Container Terminals King Abdulaziz Port, Conducted
by CHEC. The purpose of this plan is to detail asbestos-containing material (ACM) removal
activities and protect onsite personnel, visitors, and the public from physical harm and
exposure to asbestos-containing material (ACM) in accordance with 35 IAC 228. The
procedures and guidelines herein are based on the best available information at the time of
the plan's preparation. Specific requirements will be revised when new information is
received or site conditions change. It is the responsibility of all field team members to
evaluate the work conditions of this site and, if in doubt about safety or an operation, request
assistance from the Site Safety Officer. Compliance with this plan is mandatory for all onsite
CHEC employees and subcontractors.

2. SCOPE
The Asbestos Plan and procedure is minimize the possibility of accidental disturbance of
asbestos- containing materials and to protect CHEC workers and Port occupants who must
work around these materials.
Asbestos removal plan and procedure generally includes the following steps:

• Assessment: Identifying the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials

(ACMs) through thorough inspections and sampling.
• Notification: Informing relevant parties, such as building occupants and regulatory
authorities, about the planned asbestos removal activities.
• Containment: Implementing measures to ensure that asbestos fibers do not spread
beyond the work area. This may involve setting up containment barriers, sealing off
affected areas, and using negative air pressure systems.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Providing appropriate protective clothing,
respirators, and equipment to workers involved in the asbestos removal process.
• Removal Techniques: Employing safe and approved methods to remove ACMs, such
as wetting the material, using hand tools or specialized equipment, and carefully
bagging and sealing the waste.
• Decontamination: Establishing decontamination units and procedures for workers to
clean themselves and their equipment before leaving the work area to prevent the
spread of asbestos fibers.
• Waste Disposal: Safely packaging and disposing of asbestos-containing waste in
accordance with local regulations and guidelines.
• Clearance Testing: Conducting air monitoring and testing to ensure that the area is
free from asbestos fibers after the removal process.

5. GUIDING PRINCIPLE
• In accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations 2017, CHEC
will examine all its assets to locate and identify any asbestos containing materials. The
location of AC pipes will be identified on the GIS; other in-situ (above ground) asbestos
is listed in a register maintained by the HS Team. In order to monitor asbestos pipe
removal and associated nominated asbestos.
• These documented listings form the basis of CHEC’s “Asbestos Register”. Part A is the
electronic register maintained by the HS Team; Part B is the GIS. Relevant staff have
access to both registers.
• The Asbestos Register will be updated as asbestos materials are removed or identified.
• The risk associated with any identified material will be assessed and appropriate control
measures implemented to ensure the workplace is safe.
• Prior to commencement of works, signage must be erected to alert other employees,
contractors or members of the public that asbestos removal work is being undertaken
• Where practicable the whole section of AC pipe should be removed without cutting or
breaking at joints.
• Under the conditions of CHEC, no employee is permitted to remove or repair AC pipes
unless they have completed the appropriate training and been duly authorized to
conduct this work.
• Work practices must be used that will minimize dust generation and/or dispersal. Any
asbestos products to be cut must be thoroughly wetted down and cut with a low speed
hand tool (e.g. hand saw), or power demolition saw with water jet incorporated in the
operating system.
• BROOM SWEEPING, USE OF BRUSH OR WATER JET APPLICATION TO ASBESTOS
PRODUCTS, IS FORBIDDEN.
• Where contaminated soil or asbestos debris is suspected, the area must be made safe
and EGW’s Hazard Report Form (Form 049) should be completed. The HS Team or
relevant manager will raise identified actions within Action Manager. If there is
uncertainty, based on reasonable grounds, as to whether asbestos is present, asbestos
will be assumed. Contact the HS Team in order to sample and analyze.
5.1 Asbestos Brake and Clutch Pad Servicing
• An area shall be designated for all brake and clutch repairs. Entrances into this
area shall be posted when servicing is being conduct with an asbestos exposure
warning sign as follows.

specialists or consultants associated with the project.

5.2.7 Housekeeping
• Good housekeeping and cleanup procedures are essential steps in asbestos
dust control. Meticulous attention shall be given to restricting contamination
spread, including airborne fibers, dust, and debris.
• Cleanup: Cleanup shall meet the following criteria:
− Surfaces shall be cleaned with water and vacuum equipment and shall
be maintained free of asbestos accumulations.
− Asbestos waste shall not be distributed over the general area.
− Dry sweeping or space blow-down shall not be allowed.
− An adequate period shall be allowed for dust to settle before using wet
cleaning and vacuuming of equipment and surfaces.
The Asbestos competent person shall provide authorization in writing before allowing
breakdown of an asbestos containment.

− Authorization shall be based on a visual inspection and air sampling data.

o No visible contamination shall be present.
o Aggressive clearance samples cannot exceed background.
− Enclosures, perimeter boundaries, caution signs, etc. shall not be removed
before written approval is received from the asbestos competent person.
− Containment shall remain in place during cleanup.
− Plastic sheeting, filters, etc. shall be disposed of as ACM waste.
Prior to dismantling containment: The asbestos competent person shall perform a visual
inspection for asbestos dust, residue, and freestanding water and shall review clearance
air sampling data before downgrading an asbestos regulated area. If asbestos dust,
residue, or freestanding water is found, another wipe-down/vacuuming shall be
performed. This procedure shall continue until all asbestos dust, residue, and
freestanding water are properly removed and air sample results are below background.
Lockdown: After contamination clean-up has occurred, a post-removal (lockdown)
encapsulate shall be spray applied to the ceiling, walls, floors, and other exposed areas.
Encapsulation shall include but not be limited to plastic barriers, furnishings, articles to
be discarded, decontamination chambers, and air locks. The encapsulate shall be allowed
to dry prior to final clearance sampling. After this is accomplished, plastic barriers can be
removed and disposed of as ACM.
5.2.8 Reviews and Oversight
While performing asbestos work activities, the project will be subject to close
oversight by the CHEC, and to audits and assessments by project management,
and the Employer. A "Stop Work Order' shall be issued immediately and remain
in effect until the violation(s) is resolved if the work is found to violate the
contract, a regulatory requirement, and/or safe work practice

5.2.9 Material Safety Data Sheets

A current MSDS shall be provided for each and every hazardous material brought
onsite, whether or not such material is to be used during asbestos abatement or
asbestos inspection.

5.2.10 Air Sampling

o Air samples shall be collected before containment is installed and before
abatement occurs. These samples shall be used to determine background
asbestos levels that will later be compared to clearance sample data and used
to determine containment integrity. The baseline level is determined by
collecting at least three general area samples at each asbestos abatement
location.
o The ACP shall collect daily area air samples outside the asbestos containment
during any abatement. Sample locations shall be determined based on the
type of work. The samples are used to verify containment integrity and must
not exceed background level. During abatement, three samples shall be
collected daily outside the containment to ensure that concentrations remain
below background. In addition, daily area samples shall be collected at the
entrance to the asbestos regulated area, at the local exhaust system opening,
and at the storage location. If air sample results outside the containment
exceed background at any sample location, work shall immediately stop and
corrective actions shall be taken to reduce the level. Employees shall
immediately evacuate the adjacent work areas and not be allowed to return
until after the written clearance from the ACP. The HSE Specialist shall be
notified immediately of the condition.
o Daily personal air samples shall be collected on asbestos workers inside the
containment area and on the support team outside the containment. This type
of sample is used to verify that the engineering controls are functioning
appropriately and that the respirator protection factor is not exceeded, and to
document airborne levels. Samples shall be collected on a representative
number of workers for all activities. Typically, because of the small number of
asbestos workers at a specific abatement location, all employees inside the
 abatement chamber and the support team outside the chamber should be
sampled.
o Aggressive air sampling shall be conducted for all clearance samples prior to
dismantlement of containment. Aggressive air sampling shall be conducted
using high-volume sample pumps over a period of 30 minutes while using a
mechanical method (e.g., a fan) to disturb dust.

9. ASBESTOS REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Asbestos Removal

The CHEC is required to carefully review the external (and internal) conditions of the existing
buildings to ensure that wherever asbestos is found, it is to be removed and disposed of
according to the municipal requirements by a qualified and certified personnel using qualified
and certified equipment

9.1 Work Area Preparation

These procedures are to be followed when performing work on Asbestos (which includes
cutting, drilling, installing removing saddles, etc.), in order to minimize fibre release during
work activities. All trades and maintenance personnel and outside contractors shall understand
the requirements of these procedures prior to conducting any work on Asbestos pipe. The
Supervisor shall be in charge of coordinating activities to ensure that PPE is worn when
required. A written document must be made available to workers at the work site which
identifies the location of the AC pipe and any other hazardous materials.,
• The Supervisor shall set up the job site in accordance with the SA standards to ensure
that all requirements are met.
• Prior to excavation, the Supervisor shall review the underground utility plans and review
the course of action with the crew and equipment operators.
• The Supervisor will ensure the location and marking of all underground utilities with the
use of an M-Scope or similar equipment
• Excavate and shore or slope the excavation (if required) in accordance with KSA
standard regulations. Excavate a sufficient distance around the AC pipe to assure
adequate tool clearance in the area to be cut (or drilled). Care must be taken to avoid
disturbance of the asbestos cement pipe through use of tools and equipment, prior to
donning PPE
• A barrier tape with the following warning must be posted around the work area at all
entrances to the work area, using stakes to hold it in place (this barrier must be in place
immediately prior to doing any work
• Workers must have (at minimum) a half facepiece NIOSH approved respirator with
combination cartridges for particulate (P100) and organic vapours (OV). No single use
respirators are allowed. Workers shall inspect and clean their respirators prior to each
use. Workers must be fit tested and properly trained in the use, limitations, and
maintenance of their respirators
• A 5 gallon bucket with clean potable water and disposable towels should be positioned
at the entrance to the work area for personal decontamination. Two or more additional
buckets of water shall be available for cleaning tools and equipment. Ensure that
sufficient water is available in the work area for tool and equipment decontamination.
• Shut down appropriate valves as required (refer to valve book) to isolate the section of
watermain to be cut. Open the nearest fire hydrant to release residual pressure. The
fire hydrant must remain open at all times during the pipe cutting and replacement
operation to eliminate the buildup of water pressure.
9.2 Interior Surfaces
For interior surfaces where the non-friable asbestos surfacing materials (such as vinyl
asbestos or asbestos cement) can be removed intact, precautions shall be taken to
remove nails or screws without breaking the panels. Amended water (wetting agent)
shall be used to wet the surfaces including any broken edges. A double layer of 6-mil
plastic shall be used to protect the floor and to package the removed panels. Breaking
vinyl asbestos or asbestos cement panels is prohibited.

9.3 Exterior Surfaces

Exterior work involving the removal of asbestos cement siding including transite and
asphalt composition shingles shall exclude uninvolved personnel from an area extending
at least 50 feet from the perimeter of the structure. Asbestos warning signs and danger
 tape secured to sturdy upright posts every 20 feet shall be placed around the perimeter.
The project shall erect critical barriers to block non-emergency exits through the
asbestos control area. Windows shall be covered with two layers of 6-mil plastic
sheeting. The ground shall be covered with two layers of 6-mil plastic extending to at
least 10 feet from the structure. Work shall be conducted systematically from top to
bottom so that each piece of transite or shingle is removed without breakage. The
asbestos cement shingles shall be pre-packaged in fiberglass-reinforced plastic, nylon, or
other material to prevent puncture of the double layer of 6-mil plastic bags. Siding panels
shall be wrapped in 6-mil plastic. All materials shall be passed or hoisted to the ground
without dropping. Breakage of asbestos cement materials such as transite panels is
prohibited.

9.4 Removal of Asbestos sheet and ACM Cement Pipe

Boiler stacks and asbestos cement pipe shall be removed and disposed of in sections.
Each section shall, at a minimum, be wrapped and sealed with two layers of 6-mil plastic
for transportation and disposal. Where cutting or disturbing of ACM is required to create
manageable sections, the cutting shall be accomplished within an enclosed asbestos
regulated area with a negative air pressure local exhaust system.

9.5 Removal of ACM Joint Compound between Gypsum boards

Gypsum board containing asbestos joint compound shall be handled by removing the
entire joint without cutting or disturbing the ACM joint compound. Openings in gypsum
board joints shall be immediately HEPA vacuumed and sealed with polyethylene
sheeting. If the joint compound is found to be 1 percent or greater ACM, the entire wall
system must be removed as ACM.

9.6 Repair of Damaged ACM

Damaged ACM insulation on pipes, ducts, and tanks shall be repaired or removed by
abatement. Repair shall be accomplished by installing a covering fiberglass cloth, or
equivalent, and thermal insulation adhesive. The covering shall extend beyond the
damaged area a minimum of 6 inches in all directions. ACM maintenance work may be
done as Class Ill asbestos work, which includes repair and maintenance activities that
may involve disturbance of ACM, including TSI. (Class I asbestos work is removal of non-
Class Ill quantities of TSI and surfacing ACM/PACM; Class II is removal of other forms of
ACM/PACM such as roofing material, floor tile, etc.; Class IV is custodial and clean-up
work that may result in inadvertent worker contact with ACM/PACM.)
 9.7 Asbestos Disposal
Asbestos waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, filters, equipment, and asbestos-
contaminated clothing shall be sealed in double 6-mil plastic bags, or wrapped in 6-mil
plastic sheeting imprinted with the asbestos caution label. Where the asbestos material
is hard or has sharp edges, the ACM shall be packaged in a manner that will prevent
puncture. Disposal of friable and non-friable asbestos waste shall incorporate at least 6
inches of compacted cover of non-asbestos materials with a final cover of at least 18
inches of earth. ACM shall be disposed of in a licensed landfill, or in compliance with local
regulatory requirements. The landfill shall be approved to accept friable and non-friable
asbestos waste. Temporary storage shall be in sealed impermeable bags in waste drums
labeled with the asbestos warning. An area for interim storage of asbestos waste-
containing drums will be approved by the project environmental specialist.

10. ASBESTOS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

In the event asbestos containing materials (ACM) are disturbed, the following procedure
shall be followed:

• if you became contaminated with asbestos, take first aid measures (leave the
immediate area and take off contaminated clothing (do not brush off clothing). After
first aid measures are taken, fill out an employee incident report.
• Vacate and secure the area to a perimeter of 25 feet from the disturbance (edge of
visible asbestos). Have the occupants leave the space. Depending upon the situation,
Security should be called to help secure the area.
• Contact the CHEC Emergency response team and Asbestos Control Group Provide the
location of the release and state what actions have been taken so far.

The Asbestos Control Group will:

– Upon arrival, assess the likelihood that the disturbed material contains
asbestos.
– Samples may be taken for analysis to confirm the contents of the material.
– Should no one be available from Asbestos Control, a certified and licensed
contractor shall be called in to perform a cleanup of the space using
appropriate PPE and equipment.
– Air samples may be taken depending upon the scope, location, and condition
of the material(s) disturbed and requirements for cleanup.
– If the release occurs in Strong Memorial Hospital, follow the SMH procedures
and contact the Administrator on Call.
 – Once the area is cleaned and the air sampling results are reviewed and show
the area to be ‘clean’, the occupants can return to the area.
