Good Things About Asbestos
Good insulator (heat and electricity)
High tensile strength
Resistant to corrosives
Doesnt burn
Inexpensive Fibrouscan be used in a variety of ways

How Much Is Too Much?
Studies done on people exposed to asbestos in the
course of their work show increased risk
Much higher concentrations of asbestos than thegeneral public
Cannot state that there is a threshold below which
risk of cancer is not increased
OSHA8 hour time-weighted-average of 0.1f/cc
Smoking increases risk

So What?
If you work around asbestos containing buildingmaterials which are damaged or deteriorated thereis a potential you may be exposed to asbestosfibers (fibers may not be visible and remain in airfor a long time)
Asbestos is a hazard ONLY if it can release fibers(friable)
Friablepipe insulation, fireproofing, etc.
Non-friable - floor tile, transite (unless machinedor broken)

Damage or Deterioration
Water leaks, cutting or bumping, strong air
currents, age
Evidence
Debris
Ripped or cracked
Delamination
Report to ES&H Group immediately

Donts
Dont use pipes lined with asbestos as a
platform to work from
Dont cut through pipe insulation
Dont bump into sprayed on materials
Dont open up enclosures
Dont disturb non-friable material
Dont clean-up or repair material

Presumed Asbestos Containing
Material Suspect thermal system insulation, sprayed-

building constructed no later than 1980.
Asphalt and vinyl flooring installed no later
than 1980 must be treated as asbestos
containing.

Procedures
In building built before, assume all pipeinsulation, surfacing material, and floor tile DOcontain asbestos whether or not labeled.
Check inventory database
Contact ES&H Group personnel
May request that the material be sampled
Contact ES&H Group for help if material must beremoved. This can ONLY be done by speciallytrained individuals.

Review
Asbestos is a naturally
occurring mineral fiber
It is contained in many
materials in buildings built
before 1980
It is associated with
asbestosis and lung cancer
Exposure can occur if
friable building material
has been damaged
Exposure can occur if
non-friable material
sanded, sawed, etc.
Damage can occur by
bumping or cutting, water
damage, or deterioration
with age
