39、EMENTARY REQUIREMENTSS1. RECOMMENDED WORK PRACTICES FOR REMOVAL OF RESILIENT FLOORCOVERINGSThe following supplementary requirements shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in thepurchase order or contract.S1.1 Asbestos WarningDo not sand, dry sweep, dryscrape, drill, saw, beadblast, or mech

40、anically chip or pulverizeexisting resilient flooring, backing, lining felt, paint, asphaltic“cutback” adhesives, or other adhesives. These products maycontain asbestos fibers or crystalline silica.Avoid creating dust.Inhalation of such dust is a cancer and respiratory tract hazard.Smoking by indivi

41、duals exposed to asbestos fibers greatlyincreases the risk of serious bodily harm. Unless positivelycertain that the product is a non-asbestos-containing material,you must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations mayrequire that the material be tested to determine asbestoscontent. The Resilient Flo

42、or Covering Institute (RFCI) docu-ment, “Recommended Work Practices for Removal of ResilientFloor Coverings,” should be consulted for a defined set ofinstructions addressed to the task of removing all resilient floorcovering structures.S1.2 Lead Paint CautionCertain paints may contain lead.Exposure

43、to excessive amounts of lead dust presents a healthhazard. Refer to applicable federal, state, and local laws and,“Lead-Based Paint: Interim Guidelines for Hazard Identifica-tion andAbatement in Public and Indian Housing,” (September1990) or subsequent editions published by the U.S. Departmentof Hou

44、sing and Urban Development regarding: (1)Appropriatemethods for identifying lead-based paint and removing suchpaint; and (2) any licensing, certification, and training require-ments for persons performing lead abatement work.S1.3 Adhesive Remover CautionThere are a number ofcommercial adhesive remov

45、ers on the market that will properlyremove adhesive residue from a subfloor, however, there areconcerns that these products can adversely affect the bondingof the new floor covering. The Resilient Floor CoveringInstitute (RFCI) document, “Recommended Work Practices forRemoval of Resilient Floor Cove

46、rings,” and the resilientflooring manufacturers written instructions should be con-sulted for a defined set of instructions which should befollowed if existing adhesives must be removed (see S1.1).S1.4 Residual Asphalt Adhesive(Also see S1.1 and S1.3.)Many resilient floorings may not be installed wh
