l ASBESTOS CONTROL POLICY s MOBIL EXPLORATTIOfa & PRODUCING U.S. (MEPUS) will comply with Mobil policies, federal, state and (ocai regulations and industry safe practices to protect all personnel having a potential exposure to asbestos and to prevent environmental contamination, in the past, asbestos containing materials (ACM) were utilized in Mobil facilities for thermal/acousticai insulation and structural fireproofing. MEPUS requires contractor compliance with this policy on all work involving potential exposure to asbestos. The use and handling of materials containing asbestos will be minimized to the fullest extent possible. Friable asbestos or material containing friable asbestos is not permitted in new projects or for material replacement. ACM currently in MEPUS facilities will be identified, evaluated and inventoried. Evaluation includes assessment of the contamination potential and determination of the options for controlling the release of airborne asbestos. Control of the asbestos hazard is based on minimizing the contamination and exposure potential. Therefore, ACM which are intact, contained and performing effectively should be left intact and maintained; materials with minor to moderate damage should be repaired or encapsulated to restore the design integrity, and materials with damage severity beyondrestoration should be removed and replaced. ACM which must be disturbed or removed for equipment maintenance or repair should be properly disposed of and replaced with non-ACM in accordance with the attached procedures. Abatement of ACM will be specifically evaluated for any facility being mothballed to determine the feasibility of removing during shutdown. ACM abatement will also be evaluated prior to facility purchase, recommissioning, sale or disposal. Potential purchasers of properties/equipment with ACM will be advised prior to transfer. Li-*! L.
