Benton - E-L-12 February 2, 1990 SELECTION AND MONITORING OF ASBESTOS REMOLITION/REMOVAL CONTRACTORS As I indicated, we have been working on a procedure for selecting and auditing asbestos demolition/removal contractors (Draft enclosed). Should it be necessary to undertake asbestos removal projects at Massena prior to the issuance of the COM, it would be prudent to use the enclosed information in your selection/auditing process. Tom McCracken is taking on responsibility for asbestos projects on a division basis. I suggest that you contact him for further guidelines. HMC/mjm Enc Homer M. Cole TXTTNER RMC0082036 SUBJECT: SELECTION AND MONITORING OF ASBESTOS DEMOLITION/REMOVAL CONTRACTORS GENERAL POLICY It is Reynolds Metals Company's policy that all asbestos demolition/removal work performed at Company facilities strictly \ conform with applicable health and environmental lavs and regula tions. To ensure compliance with this policy, asbestos demoli tion/removal work at Company facilities is to be performed only by properly qualified asbestos demolition/removal contractors and all such work is to be monitored on a daily basis. This procedure outlines the steps to be followed by Company facilities in selec ting an asbestos demolition/removal contractor and in monitoring the contractor's work performance. SELECTION OF ASBESTOS DEMOLITION/REMOVAL CONTRACTORS Preoualification Only qualified contractors may be used to perform asbestos demolition/removal work at Company facilities. For purposes of this procedure, a contractor will be deemed to be qualified to perforafcasbestoa demolition/removal work only if it is on the list of qualified^ asbestos abatement contractors developed and main tained by Corporate Industrial Hygiene. Qualified contractors TX TWER HMC0082037 must possess all required federal, state and local licenses and certifications and must have a demonstrated history of satisfac tory performance in asbestos demolition/removal projects* Corporate Industrial Hygiene will provide a copy of its list of qualified contractors (as well as any updated list) to the Cor porate Purchasing Department for transmittal to all facility pur chasing representatives. Facility purchasing representatives are to utilize this list whenever soliciting bids for asbestos demoli tion/removal contracts. Only in emergency situations, where time is critical and a qualified asbestos demolition/removal contractor cannot be re tained on a timely basis, may Company employees be utilized to perform asbestos demolition/ removal work. Even under these cir cumstances, only qualified individuals may be utilized, and the procedures outlined in the Industrial Hygiene Directive of July 27, 1988 must be followed. Copies of this directive are available from Corporate Industrial Hygiene. To be deemed qualified, a Company employee must have success fully completed a* fWe^d^yAe^ EPA-approved asbestos super visor's, course. Only in emergency situations, where qualified Compaiqfaf^loyees are not available to perform the work, may a contractor which has not beenliqualified by Corporate Industrial Hygiene be utilized to perform the work. /wjUC \ of fa# -2- AKJ d C txtiner RMCQ082038 Btd Solicitations Tha facility purchasing representative should solicit at least _______ bids for each asbestos demolition/removal project to be performed at the facility. The bids are to be solicited from qualified asbestos demolition/removal contractors. However/ other contractors may also bid/ provided that they promptly complete and return the Asbestos Demolition/Removal Contractor Performance Questionnaire described below. A copy should be promptly sent to Corporate Industrial Hygiene for its review, and it will advise the facility purchasing representative whether the contractor is qualified to perform the work. The bid solicitation must set forth the scope of work in detail. The scope of work should include the type, amount and location of the asbestos, along with any additional relevant information regarding the project or the asbestos. Before sending out the bid solicitation package, the facility purchasing representative should check with the Law Department attorney responsible for purchasing matters,to determine the proper contract document(s) to be used for the project. The bid solicitaCioikr package should include a copy of the contract document vtri<dKth* successful bidder will be required to sign. 7X TIMER RMC0082039 Bidders should be advised to include with their bids any exceptions they propose to make to the contract terms. All pro posed exceptions to the contract terms must be reviewed JL the Law Department before the contract is awarded. The bid solicitation should require each bidder to submit the following documentation with its bid: 1. A completed Asbestos Demolition/Removal Contractor Per formance Questionnaire (a copy of this Questionnaire is attached to this procedure as Exhibit A). A copy should thjfn be forwarded to Corporate Industrial Hygiene for fehetT files. This questionnaire must be completed even if one was previously completed for another project. 2. A completed Asbestos Demolition/Removal Contractor Work Plan Questionnaire describing how the asbestos demoli tion/removal will be done (a copy of this^uestionnaire is attached to this procedure as Exhibit B). 3. The bidder's detailed removal specifications for the project in question. Documentation establishing that the bidder has obtained all required contractor, supervisor and worker licenses. -4- TXTWER RMCQ082040 5. For each employee of the bidder who will be assigned to the project, documentation establishing that medical examinations have been performed within the last 12 months and indicating whether the physician detected a medical condition that would place the worker at an increased risk of material health impairment from exposure to asbestos. . For each employee of the bidder who would be placed at an increased risk of material health impairment from exposure to asbestos, (a) documentation establishing that the employee has been fit tested with negative pressure respirators within the last six months and (b) a physician's written opinion as to whether there are any limitations on the employee's use of respiratory protection. 7. Documentation establishing the competency of the employ ees of the bidder who will be collecting the air sam ples. * a. Documentation establishing the competency of analytical laboratory to be utilized by the bidder (per Appendix A off the OSHA Asbestos Standard). -5- txtiner RMC0082041 Selection Of Contractor Th facility will select the asbestos demolition/removal con- ' tractor from those qualified bidders who submit all of the docu mentation identified above. However, before th awarded, the successful bidder's proposed work reviewed to verify that it complies with all applicable federal. state and local laws and regulations applicable to asbestos demo lition/removal projects. This review is to be performed by either a qualified facility employee or by a qualified outside consultant. In order to be qualified to perform this review or to monitor the contractor's performance, the Company employee must have successfully completed aflfie QayTMyt langur EPA-approved asbestos supervisor's course and the outside consultant must have been approved by Corporate Indus trial Hygiene to review work plans and to monitor asbestos demoli tion/removal projects. Corporate Industrial Hygiene will develop and maintain the list of qualified consultants and will provide a copy of this list (as welL a* a copy of any updated list) to the Corporate Purchas ing Department for transmittal to all facility purchasing repre ss-* sentatxvea^ Th* Corporate Purchasing Department will also provide facility purchasing representatives with a list of those qualified consultants which have entered into blanket professional service agreements. 6 TX TIMER RMC0082042 MONITORING OF THE ASBESTOS DEMOLITION/REMOVAL CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE Daily Monitoring The facility where the work is being performed is responsible for monitoring the contractor's performance to ensure that (a) it complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to asbestos demolition/removal and (b) the approved work plan is being fully carried out. This monitoring is to be accomplished either by a qualified Company employee or by a qualified consultant. Monitoring is to be performed on a daily basis and is to begin as soon as the asbestos demolition/removal project commences. Monitoring should occur at random times each day in order to limit the contractor's ability to predict when the moni toring will occur. In some situations, it may not be possible to see clearly into the contractor's work area. Under these circumstances, the * Company monitor should enter the work area in order to monitor the contra^d^'s performance. The Asbestos Demolition/Removal Contractor Performance Audit i^rS' ***** Report is to be completed each day by the Company ftonitfbij^during the course of the monitoring. This report, a copy of which is -7- TXTNER RMC0082043 attached to this procedure as Exhibit C, sets forth the specific items and areas to be checked by the Company monitor. Copies of the daily reports are to be forwarded to Corporate Industrial Hygiene on a weekly basis. The Company monitor should immediately stop any work practice or situation (such as a breach in a containment barrier, inade quate worker decontamination or a breakdown of the negative air machines) which could result in the release of asbestos fibers into the workplace or environment. The contractor should be required to immediately correct any such practice or situation, and the work should not be permitted to resume until the practice or situation has been corrected to the Company monitor's satis faction. All such incidences are to be reported in writing to Cor porate Industrial Hygiene as soon as possible after the situation has been resolved. If there are any questions as to whether a project should be stopped, the Company monitor should immediately contact Corporate Industrial Hygiene for further guidance. monitor must collect at least two air samples daily. The samples are to be collected outside the containment room--one sample at the entrance to the clean room and another sample at the exhaust of the negative air machines. In addition. 8 TXTWER RMC00820U if a regulated area has been established, at least one air sample is to be collected daily at the boundary between the regulated area and the normal work area. r* t ' ' * V * t ' * * Hr r c/.r If any air sample reveals asbestos levels at or above 0.1 f/cc, the Company monitor should immediately stop the demoli- tion/removal work/aed*then review the contractor's work practices \ with the contractor. The contractor's work practices must be modified in order to reduce asbestos levels to less than 0.1 f/cc. Final Inspection After the asbestos demolition/removal project (including final cleanup) has been completed, the Company monitor should con duct a visual inspection of the work area. The inspection should take place before final clearance air sampling. The inspection should include entry into the work area to check for visual con tamination on surfaces from which asbestos-containing material has been removed. Additionally, the Company monitor should inspect for any asbestos or asbestos-containing material which may have been "caughte^r'oiii equipment or other surfaces. -A high intend Lj I la sir* Ughte* ej^pid- be used fee inspecting corners and ethci lUCCIRted -9- TX TIMER RMC0082045 Once the work area has passed visual inspection, the Company monitor should perform the final clearance air sampling.

Tbis qualified individual may ba a Reynolds Metals Company in-plant parson or an experienced outside parson. The audit of tha contractor's performance should ba dona daily and at random times. The appropriate sections of the audit document should ba filled out at these times and copies forwarded to Corporate Industrial Hygiene on a weakly basis. For those projects where it is not possible to see clearly into the work area, it will ba necessary to enter the work area to audit the contractor's performance. Any work practice or situation which could result in the release of asbestos fibers into tha workplace or environment (e.g. breach in containment barrier, inadequate worker decontamination, breakdown in negative air machines, etc.) must be stopped and corrected immediately. A report detailing this incident is to be- prepared and sent to Corporate Industrial Hygiene in Richmond as soon as possible after the incident has been resolved. If there is any question concerning the need to stop a project, contact Corporate Industrial Hygiene immediately for guidance. Once the asbestos project (and the final cleanup) has been completed, the trained individual must conduct a visual inspection of the work area prior to the beginning of the final clearance sampling. The inspection will require entrance into the work area. The individual inspecting the work area should look for visible contamination on all surfaces from which asbestos-containing material has been removed. In addition, he/she must look for material which might have been "caught** on equipment or other surfaces. A high intensity flashlight would be helpful for inspecting corner^ and other recessed areas. Once the work area has passed the visual inspection, the final aggressive clearance sampling can be conducted. The project will be considered complete when the results of the aggressive air sampling indicate airborne asbestos levels arttO.Ol f/cc or less. Any questions concerning the use of this document should be directed to Corporate Industrial Hygiene. TXTINER RMCOO82O50 1 DRAFT ASBESTOS ABATEMENT CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE AUDIT I.
