RE: PROTECTIVE ATTIRE FOR ASBESTOS REMOVAL
Until asbestos mill board is no longer encountered on shells removed from T-51 pots, some special precautions will be taken. These precautions must be followed to minimize individual exposure to airborne asbestos.
1. Individuals specifically assigned to asbestos removal will be issued disposable paper suits. These suits and a dis posable dust mask will be worn while removing asbestos.
2. Asbestos removal will be accomplished first by using a straight hoe to remove chunks. After chunks are removed, a disc sander will be used to remove residual asbestos. There will be no asbestos adhering to the shell when done.
3. During the saudir. operation all other activity in adjacent a-aas will have to be stopped. E> peri fence will reveal how far from the saucing area will be considered "evacuation
4. Upon completion of shell cleaning, the Unit Supervisor will inspect for total removal of asbestos. When it is determined that the shell is adequately cleaned, the immediate area will be policed and swept to collect asbestos. Asbestos and sweepings will be placed into a plastic bag. The paper suit end face mask also will be removed and placed into the o i a s Li c ba g. The bag will be dumped into the appropriate luc- tucket.
