| (2) Any encapsulation must be performed within a containment.
(3) Loose and hanging ACBM must be removed before encapsulation.
Filler material applied to any gap in existing material must contain
no asbestos, adhere well to the substrate, and provide an adequate
base for the encapsulating agent.
(4) Encapsulant must be applied using only airless
spray equipment with the nozzle pressure and tip size set according
to the manufacturer's recommendations.
(5) Any encapsulated material must be specifically
designated by sign, label, color coding, or other mechanism to warn
any individual who may in the future be required to disturb the material.
(e) Requirements for the enclosure of ACBM.
(1) Acceptable enclosure must be airtight and of permanent
construction so that the material enclosed is inaccessible.
(2) Any area of ACBM that can be reasonably anticipated
to be disturbed during the installation of a hanger, bracket, or any
other portion of the enclosure must be wetted within containment before
such activity.
(3) Before building the enclosure, loose and hanging
ACBM that may be disturbed must be removed.
(4) Any enclosure for ACBM must be specifically designated
by sign, label, color coding, or other mechanism to warn any individual
who may in the future be required to disturb the material.
(f) Safety requirements and prohibitions. The following
safety requirements must be in effect for an abatement project:
(1) Fire safety. A minimum of one fire extinguisher
with a minimum National Fire Protection Association rating of 10BC
(dry chemical) must be placed within each abatement project containment
for every 3,000 square feet, or fraction thereof, of containment.
One fire extinguisher must be placed at each entrance inside of the
containment. Each fire extinguisher must be maintained in a fully
charged and operable condition with a current annual inspection tag
securely attached reflecting that maintenance was performed by an
appropriately licensed individual. Where more than one fire extinguisher
is required, they must be distributed proportionately throughout the
containment and their locations clearly marked.
(2) Electrical safety. An active electrical service
line within a regulated area and containment must be connected through
ground-fault circuit interrupter devices (GFCI). An electrical appliance
must not be plugged into an outlet unless equipped with a GFCI.
(3) Prohibitions. Use of any solvent with a flash point
of 140 degrees Fahrenheit or below is prohibited.
