HS&EA Personnel Safety
Asbestos Negative Pressure Enclosures
PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT
Our focus regarding asbestos has been to protect workers from the asbestos health hazard. Recent telephone conversations Indicate that asbestos negative pressure enclosures can contain hazardous atmospheres when the enclosed system has leaks or vents which discharge Into the enclosure. Operation of the enclosure exhaust blower typically prevents the accumulation of vapors and/or oxygen depletion within the enclosure. When the exhaust blower has been shut down for an extended time, a hazardous atmosphere can form within the enclosure. The application of confined space entry procedures to asbestos negative pressure enclosures Is necessary to help ensure workers safety. If you have any questions, please contact me.
