It was concluded that asbestos dust exposure potential as a consequence of work performed appeared substantially low. However, considering the health hazard of this substance It would be prudent to make additional effort to further reduce exposure potential. We recommend that mandatory procedures be initiated using a vacuum to assure clean work/floor surfaces. Disposal of all asbestos-contained waste material should be done In accordance with established procesures, e.g., OSHA 1910. 1001/514 Maintenance Safety Procedure XVIII. Incidentally, an Emergency Temporary Standard by OSHA, which became effective November 4, 1983, reduced permissible exposure to asbestos fibers greater than 5 micrometers in length from 2 to 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter of air.
