Remedial Project Air Monitoring and Testing
|
Testing Mechanics Corp. will perform all necessary testing in accordance with NYSDOL Code Rule 56 including amendments and interpretations, as well as all other regulations as they pertain to frequency, methods, procedures and quality assurance of testing and analysis. Testing Mechanics Corp. will provide a technician on-site who will perform the necessary sample collection and return samples to the laboratory for analysis.
Air monitoring shall be performed before, during, and after the asbestos abatement process to determine the effectiveness of the engineering controls employed by the asbestos abatement contractor. Samples are used to verify that contamination by asbestos fibers of areas adjacent to the asbestos abatement work area is not occurring during the asbestos abatement process. These tests are performed to protect the interests of the building owner and the health and safety of building occupants as follows:
On site air monitoring as required by New York State Industrial Code Rule 56
cited as 12NYCRR Part 56 as amended November 9, 1994.
Analysis of samples shall conform to methods prescribed by the National
Institute of Occupation Safety and Health Administration (NIOSH) Method 7400
for all samples obtained before, during and after abatement. This analysis
shall also be used for determination of clearance criteria for the abatement
area(s).
Samples shall be performed as follows:
Background Samples - Background baseline samples shall be taken prior to
abatement to establish pre-abatement airborne fiber concentration levels.
Pre-Abatement - Sampling shall be performed during area preparation, prior to
actual removal, as mandated in Code Rule 56.
During Abatement - Low-Volume work area sampling shall be performed to
determine fiber level concentrations inside the containment system. Barrier
samples shall be taken at all isolation barriers to ensure fibers are not
escaping through these barriers. Area sampling shall be performed at all
negative pressure exhausts, outside building (ambient), in adjoining rooms
and surrounding locations, in any location where exhaust ducts may run
though the building, and at each personal and waste decontamination
enclosure.
Final Clearance Samples - After air within the containment has been
exchanged by High Efficiency Particle Absolute (HEPA) filtration, and the area
has been dried, final clearance samples shall be taken to ensure the work
area and air has been cleaned to within that required by 12NYCRR Part 56.
Additional testing will be performed for any areas not meeting the
requirements until these areas have satisfied all required clearance criteria.
