EM 385-1-1 Paragraph 6-7 (d.–g.).

6-7. Minimum Plan Requirements. (d.–g.).

d.  Asbestos Management Plan.  A written Asbestos Management Plan must be developed when work is performed that may disturb ACM, as applicable.  The plan must address the following (see 29 CFR 1910.1001 (29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z), 29 CFR 1926.1101 (29 CFR 1926 Subpart Z), and 40 CFR 61, Subpart M):  (6-7.d)

(1)  A description of each activity where asbestos will be disturbed, including OSHA class of work, equipment required, crew size, job responsibilities, operating procedures, maintenance practices, and work activity locations and ACM components keyed to the project drawings.

(2)  The method of notification of other employers at the work site.

(3)  A description of regulated areas, types of containment, and decontamination unit plan.

(4)  Air monitoring plan - personal, environmental, and clearance.  Employee exposure assessment procedures must address monitoring and documenting employee exposures.

(a)  An initial determination (may be omitted if there is sufficient objective/historical data showing compliance with the requirements).

(b)  Continued exposure monitoring may be required as a result of initial exposure determinations.

(d)  Clearance monitoring will be conducted by an independent IH or a QP per contract specifications.

(5)  Description of control measures to be used to achieve exposure compliance, including any engineering and administrative controls and PPE (see paras 1-6 or 2-6, as applicable).

(6)  Housekeeping procedures to prevent spread of asbestos contamination both in and beyond the regulated area.

(7)  Hygiene facilities and practices.

(8)  Employee training required according to paragraph 6-3.h.

(9)  Medical surveillance procedures to monitor employee exposures and ensure fitness for wearing respiratory protection (see chapter 5).

(10) Waste generation, containerization, transportation, and disposal (including recordkeeping).

(11)  Security, fire, and medical emergency response procedures.

e.  Ionizing Radiation Safety and Radiofrequency (RF) Plans (see EM 385-1-80). (6-7.e)

f.  Abrasive Blasting Plan.  A written Abrasive Blasting Plan must be developed when abrasive blasting is performed.  The plan must address the following:  (6-7.f)

(1)  Identification of blasting CP and roles and responsibilities.

(2)  Identification of blasting equipment make(s) and model(s).

(3)  A description of each work activity in which abrasive blasting is required and written SOPs to be implemented for abrasive blasting operations, including pressurized pot procedures (filling, pressurizing, depressurizing, maintenance and inspection).

(4)  Selection of abrasive blasting media and description of surface being blasted.

(5)  Evaluation to determine composition and toxicity of the abrasive and the dust or fume generated by the blasted material, including surface coatings.

(6)  Identify engineering controls, administrative controls to include signage, and PPE to be utilized to minimize exposure during operation to prevent spread of dust, contaminants, and hazardous material in the working area and surrounding area (see paras 1-6 or 2-6, as applicable).

(7)  Medical surveillance procedures to monitor employee exposures and ensure fitness for wearing respiratory protection (see chapter 5).

(8)  Waste generation, characterization, transportation, and disposal.

(9)  Any additional hazards generated because of abrasive blasting work.

(10)  Emergency response procedures.

(11)  Minimum training and certification requirements (see para 6-3.h).

(12)  Methods to inspect blasting equipment according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

g.  Thermal Stress Management Plan.  A written Thermal Stress Management Plan must be developed when employees may be exposed to thermal stressors.  The plan must include the following:  (6-7.g)

(1)  Signs and symptoms of thermal stress illnesses and injuries and first aid procedures for each.

(2)  Procedures and control measures for preventing thermal stress illnesses and injuries.

(3)  Training on thermal stress according to paragraph 6-3.c.

(4)  Methods used to monitor exposures to thermal stressors, including appropriate standards to be utilized and the responsible person to monitor thermal stressors.
