When material sampling is required, the following procedure must be followed: 1. Adhere to all personnel protective and preventive measures indicated in this procedure when obtaining samples. 2. Using the asbestos identification work sheet (Attachment "B"), obtain the required samples, clearly identifying each sample spot. Make a sketch if needed to provide necessary details.
