EM&TS - HS&EA Area Sub,ecc Industrial Hygiene Asbestos Exposure Monitoring Attached are the results of the Asbestos exposure monitoring performed on ' The monitoring was done on May 7, 1987 while they removed approximately 50 feet of insulation in the Building 705 Electrical room, which was enclosed with a negative pressure enclosure (HEPA filtered). Since it was inside of the electrical room, the removal was done dry. The insulators were equipped with full face supplied air, 2 pair of coveralls with headcover, boots and coveralls. They showered before reapplying street clothes. The exposure results indicate that the levels were more than five times the 0.2 fiber/cc Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) established by OSHA, The area sample, collected just outside of the enclosure near the exhaust air stream and an exit, was higher than what we would expect. Extra care should be taken whenever entering or exiting the enclosure to prevent airborne fibers from escaping. An 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWAg) was not calculated because it is not known if Asbestos Exposure occurred during the period of time before or after the monitoring. Since the monitoring results were very high, we require the continuation of wearing Full Face Supplied Air, even if the Insulators are wearing monitoring pumps. We are also recommending the use of the HEPA Vacuum cleaner located at the source, whenever dry removal takes place, in order to capture fibers immediately upon becoming airborne.
