Scope1.1 This practice describes procedures for conducting com-prehensive surveys of buildings and

3、 facilities for the purpose oflocating, identifying, quantifying and assessing asbestos-containing materials.1.2 The results of a Comprehensive Building AsbestosSurvey are intended to be used for ongoing management ofasbestos-containing materials, including Operations 1.4.2 Obtaining and reviewing i

4、nformation on the buildingor facility including previous surveys and response actions;1.4.3 Conducting the physical activities of inspecting thepremises and collecting bulk samples of suspect materials;1.4.4 Analyzing the bulk samples for asbestos type andcontent;1.4.5 Assessing the Current Conditio

5、n and Potential forDisturbance of asbestos-containing materials; and1.4.6 Preparing a report that includes a narrative discussionof the findings, tabulations of inspection, sampling and analysisresults, graphical depiction of the areas inspected, and theresults of the assessment.1.5 A Comprehensive

6、Building Asbestos Survey providessufficient information about the asbestos-containing materialsin a building or facility for purposes of a real propertytransaction. In situations where the amount of informationrequired by a party to the transaction is minimal, a LimitedAsbestos Screen may suffice in

7、 place of the ComprehensiveBuilding Asbestos Survey.1.6 This standard practice does not include air sampling orsurface (dust) sampling for purposes of evaluating a potentialexposure hazard from airborne asbestos fibers.1.7 WarningAsbestos fibers are acknowledged carcino-gens. Breathing asbestos fibe

8、rs can result in disease of thelungs including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.Precautions in this standard practice should be taken to avoidcreating and breathing airborne asbestos particles from mate-rials known or suspected to contain asbestos. See 2.2 forregulatory requirements address

9、ing asbestos.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Management of asbestos-containing materials in b

34、uild-ings and facilities requires knowledge of the location, type,quantity, and condition of the material. The more complete andaccurate the information available, the more appropriate andcost-effective are the control measures used to reduce possibleexposure to airborne asbestos fibers. This is tru

35、e whether theasbestos-containing materials remain undisturbed and com-pletely intact, are selectively removed for maintenance or priorto renovation, or are removed to the greatest extent feasiblebefore demolishing the building or facility.4.2 This standard practice describes two types of surveysthat

36、 support different objectives. These are the Baseline Surveyand the Project Design Survey.4.2.1 The Baseline Survey is a building-wide or facility-wide inspection that provides a general sense of the overalllocation, type, quantity, and condition of asbestos-containingmaterials present. It is thorou

37、gh in that most accessiblefunctional spaces are inspected and bulk samples taken ofsuspect materials observed. The baseline survey providesinformation for long-term management of asbestos-containingmaterials and prioritization of response actions. The presenceof asbestos in suspect materials may be

38、assumed or presumedin some cases without bulk samples being taken or analyzed.However, the baseline survey is unobtrusive in that samples arenot taken where doing so would result in objectionable damageto surfaces or where institutional barriers preclude access. In abaseline survey, destructive test

39、ing is avoided.NOTE 1A Baseline Survey is sometimes called an “AHERA” surveybecause it provides the type of information used for management ofasbestos-containing materials in schools. However, the baseline surveydescribed in this standard practice requires inspection, bulk sampling,quantification an

40、d assessment and suspect materials that are excluded byvirtue of their type and location from the AHERA regulations for schools.NOTE 2Suspect material subject to disturbance by planned or emer-gency maintenance may not always be identified as to asbestos content ina Baseline Survey. Collecting a sin

41、gle bulk sample, or a small number ofsamples, to determine if the material contains asbestos does not constitutea survey within the meaning of this standard practice. Nonetheless, thesample(s) should be collected according to the methods described inAppendix X1 (this must be done by a properly-crede

42、ntialed individual)and analyzed as set forth in 6.5.4.2.2 The Project Design Survey is more focused than aBaseline Survey and is used to provide information to theProject Designer for preparing abatement plans and specifica-tions. The locations inspected are limited to the areas that willbe affected

43、 by the abatement project. If the project is beingdone prior to renovation or demolition, the construction plansor at least a clear statement of the scope of the renovation ordemolition work are required for a proper Project DesignSurvey. Destructive testing is often required for a ProjectDesign Sur

44、vey. The presence of asbestos in suspect materials isalways confirmed in a Project Design Survey rather than beingassumed or presumed. Other information required for theProject Design is collected during the survey.4.3 An asbestos survey may be required to meet the EPANESHAP notification requirement

45、s for renovation or demoli-tion, or be required by governmental agencies for issuance ofa building permit. The Project Design Survey is most appro-priate for this purpose. Posting of signs and labels required forcompliance with OSHA regulations would use the informationgenerated during a Baseline Su

46、rvey.4.4 This standard practice emphasizes the concept that aComprehensive Building Asbestos Survey consists of morethan the collection and analysis of samples, and the report ismore than a compilation of laboratory results. It is important toinspect as many functional spaces as possible and to docu

47、mentthe reasons why certain functional spaces were not inspectedand locations where no suspect materials were observed and,consequently, no samples were taken. Reasons might includeaccess limitations, the absence of materials to sample, theexistence of information from previous surveys, or the avail

48、-ability of reliable documentation such as Material Safety DataSheets.E235604e134.5 A Comprehensive Building Asbestos Survey is notlimited to the class of materials commonly referred to asasbestos-containing building materials (ACBM), defined in theAHERA regulations as “. found in or on interior str

49、ucturalmembers or other parts of a building.” Items that are difficult todistinguish as such may include cooling towers, laboratoryhoods, gaskets, chalkboards and other articles. These may beinstalled in, attached to, or adjacent to the building or facilitybut are not as clearly a part of the building or facility asfireproofing or floor tile. Nonetheless, such items still fallwithin the scope of an asbestos management program andtherefore are addressed in this standard practice.
