IPIL TECH CEMTE R C-EF'T 5 0 D B CO DKP I MF,TR FRoSfrporate InduStr'al Hygiene January 8, 1987 SUBJECT Revised OSHA Asbestos Standards Two new Asbestos Standards were published in June 1986, one for General Industry and the other for Construction. After a brief stay, both standards are now in effect. In a recent meeting with John Pendergrass, I asked whether the Construction Standard applied to any asbestos removals we may perform. He responded that it would in some cases. In general, if the removal is the result of normal operation, maintenance or repair of process equipment or piping, it is considered as general industry work. However, any demolition work, such as complete removal or replacement of equipment or structural elements (ceiling tiles, floors, piping, tanks, etc) 1s considered construction work and would be covered by the Construction Standard. Please review the attached copies of the OSHA information pamphlets on the two standards and review your procedures to ensure that any asbestos work performed is in compliance with the applicable requirements. If you have any questions, please contact Corporate Industrial Hygiene.
