ASARCO CONTRACTOR POLICY
TYPICAL CONTRACTOR SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAM ELEMENTS
A. Prior to beginning work, contractors must develop a site-specific safety and health program that meets all applicable safety and health regulatory requirements. Contractors must understand the importance ofdeveloping an effectivelyfunctioning program that is pro-active and addresses the potential exposures to their employees for the particular job to be done. Potential exposures should be addressed extensively in the safety and health program.
B. The program should describe in detail how job safety and health is to be incorporated into each phase of the work. Typical subjects to be covered in the safety and health program include:
1. Accident investigation procedures
2. Biological monitoring
3. Bloodbome pathogen programs (e.g. contractor's emergency responders)
4. Confined space procedures
5. Disciplinary action
6. Emergency procedures
7. Fire protection and prevention
8. First aid
9. Hazard communication
10. Incident reporting and investigation
11. Lockout/Tagout
12. Medical surveillance
13. Occupational health programs (e.g. lead, cadmium, arsenic, construction lead and cadmium)
14. Orientation for new hires
15. Personal protective equipment
16. Process safety management

18. Safe work areas
19. Safe and heaithful orientation for supervision
20. Special instructions and/or information
21. Supervising for safety and health
22. Toolbox safety meetings
23. Task training
24. Training mandated by OSHA or MSHA
25. Process safety management procedures
C. General Requirements for Contractors
1. Each contractor shall be directly responsible for initiating and maintaining a safety effort to prevent his employees from working under conditions
' which are unsafe, unhealthy, or unsanitary. The contractor's compliance with the Mine Safety and Health Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, state and local codes governing safe work practices, and ASARCO's site Safety' Manual is mandatory.
2. Each contractor is required to conduct substance abuse screening for all prospective employees.
3. Carelessness or disregard for accepted health, safety, and fire protection standards will not be tolerated.
4. The contractor shall prohibit the use ofunsafe machinery, tools, material, or equipment. These shall be identified as unsafe by tagging or by locking the controls to render them inoperable or they shall be removed from service in accordance with applicable regulations.
5. The contractor shall permit only employees who are qualified and competent by virtue oftraining or experience to operate equipment and machinery.
6. Contractors shall instruct their employees to recognize and avoid unsafe
conditions. Employees should know the regulations applicable to their work environments to control or eliminate any hazards that cause exposure, illness, or injury.
7. Contractors shall instruct and train each oftheir employees required to handle or use flammable liquids, gases, toxic materials, poisons, caustics, and other harmful substances in their safe handling and use. Contractors

14. Contractors working in restricted areas must ensure that biological and/or air monitoring, if required, is conducted. While ASARCO prefers that such monitoring be conducted by the contractor, any such monitoring performed by ASARCO for contractor employees is voluntary and done to enhance safety and health in the workplace. Such actions do not change or diminish the contractor's responsibilities regarding biological monitoring. If monitonng is performed by ASARCO, the delivery ofmonitoring results to contractor and its employees must be documented along with any preventive action required by contractor. Furthermore, any such voluntary services provided by ASARCO will be addressed in contract provisions.
D. Contractor Safety Education, Training and Promotion
1. A proven means of instituting and reinforcing a safety program is through carefully planned and conveyed safety education, training and informational activities. These activities must be presented logically and systematically to ensure that all employees know their obligations and responsibilities for achieving a safe work environment
2. ASARCO requires contractors to convey the message that safety is a priority through a variety ofactivities. These activities include, but are not limited to:

SECTION 02081 GENERAL REMOVAL PROCEDURES
.01 Removal Procedures
NOTE: No asbestos removal shall be done without written authorization from the Industrial Hygienist (IH) on sit Contractor shall commence all asbestos removal with PAPR or Type C supplied air, with Grade D air, unle substantial historic data (in compliance with OSBA 1926.1101) is presented to the IH prior to the pre-constructic meeting. This historical data shall clearly show that the current project is compatible with the prior asbestos proje> and that the air counts indicate that the respirator chosen for the asbestos removal provides adequate worke protection. Under no circumstances shall any respirator be less than a PAPR respirator for any friable asbesto removal. Where there is no data to support the down grading ofthe respirator, the IH on site can obtain substantia air monitoring data to allow the contractor to down grade respirator. At anytime the air counts violate respirato protection value, as determined by the onsite IH, the contractor shall upgrade to the respirator the IH so designates
A. SeeSection01560andSection01563.forminimumpersonnelprotection. Industrial Hygienist (IH) shall authorize commencement of removal procedures. Clean and isolate the work area in accordance with Section 01527.
B. Spray all asbestos containing material with amended water solution, removal encapsulant, or chemical remover
using spray equipment capable of delivering aflow-pressure mist to reduce the release of asbestos fibers.
Adequately wet the ACM to. the substrate. Spray.the"ACM.continuously during the removal practices to maintain
adequate wet conditions and minimize fiber tpease ahddispersion. Follow all manufacturers recommended
procedures ifa manufactured product is usedfor removal,processes.
....... s
m 0%
C. Saturated asbestos containing material shall be remoyedjn manageable sections. As ACM is removed, material
will be placed in a suitable container (6 milfO.l 52nun) ppiyethylene bags or drum). Material shall not be allowed
to diy out prior to containerizing. Surfouinding areasihall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet
condition until visible material is cle.-aned up."'"'
-if!?,;..
' fe?*
0. All material removed shall not be thrown ordropped WjtSe U.Oor. Removal ofintact and manageable sections is
highly recommended as it will reduce fiber dispersion!'All ACM containerized shall be carefully lowered to the
ground floor by asbestos personnel; where this is not feasible, contractor may use other mechanical means to lower
containers. Mechanical means may include but is not limited to inclined chutes, scaffolding, and pulleys, etc.
E. Containers (6 mil(0.152mm) polyethylene bags ordrums) shall be sealed when full. All ACM containerized shall be double lined. Bags shall not be overfilled as wet material is heavier than dry material. All containerized material shall be sealed with suitable duct tape, do not use wire or cord as it may break the container. All containerized material shall be decontaminated on the exterior surfaces before leaving the work area.
F. Large components removed intact shall be wrapped in 2 layers of6 mil(0.152mm) polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for transport to the landfill.
G. Asbestos containing waste with sharp-edged components (e.g. nails, screws, metal lath, tin sheeting) will tear the polyethylene bags and should be placed into drums for disposal.
H. After completion ofall stripping work, surfaces from which asbestoscontaining materials havebeen removed shall be wet brushed and sponged or cleaned by some equivalent method to remove all visible residue.
1. Clean-up shall proceed in accordance with Section 01712.
J. After the work area has been rendered free of visible residues, and Industrial Hygienist (IH) inspection and approval, a thin coat ofa satisfactory encapsulating agent shall be applied to all surfaces in the work area including

structural members, building components and plastic sheeting on walls, floors and covering non-removable items, to seal in non-visible residue. (Note: 1) High temperature components such as boilers and pipes may not permit the application ofsome encapsulants. 2) Ifinsulation or acoustical materials are to be reapplied to the abated area, be certain that the encapsulant selected will permit good adhesion to the substrate. A small area should be tested before application).
K. Special circumstances (e.g. live electrical equipment, high amositecontentofmaterial, materials previously coated with an encapsulant or paint) may prohibit the adequate use ofwet methods to reduce fiber concentrations. For these situations, a dry removal method may be required. The contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those mentioned herein from the NESHAP enforcement agency.
