Type & Requirement Description Background (Not required by regulations) Run before the abatement starts, set-up. Determines air levels prior to starting an abatement project to compare with perimeter samples during abatement. Personals (Required by OSHA) Determine employee exposure. Performed daily for most projects. Environmental Perimeter & Inside Work Area samples Determine air levels outside and inside work area. Run daily during abatement. Final Clearance (Required by AHERA and some state regulations) Determine air levels after final cleaning and visual inspection. Large school abatements require Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) sampling and analysis.

Overview

  • All job sites have

safety concerns

  • Asbestos

abatement activities often make job sites less safe

P.54

Asbestos Worker Refresher Course 1/6/2010 Training Services International, Inc. 26

TSI TSI

Electrical Safety

  • Use proper lock-out/ tag-out

procedures

  • Use caution with wet methods
  • De-energize as much

equipment as possible

P.54

  • Consider using dry removal in areas

immediately adjacent to energized electrical equipment if de-energizing is not feasible.

  • Use non-conductive tools
  • Ensure that all electrical equipment in use is

properly grounded, properly use GFCI’s

TSI TSI

Electrical Safety

  • Use care not to violate insulated coverings

with scrapers, scaffolding wheels, etc

  • Elevate wiring
  • Do not allow water to accumulate on floors.
  • Ensure that electrical outlets are tightly

sealed and taped to avoid water spray.

  • Perform a pre-work walkthrough to identify

potential sources of electrical hazards.

P.54

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • Entrance

Wound: High resistance of skin transforms electrical energy into heat, which produces burns around the entrance point (dark spot in center of wound).

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • Exit Wound:

Current flows through the body from the entrance point, until finally exiting where the body is closest to the ground.

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • Arc or flashburn
  • This man was

near a power box when an electrical explosion

  • ccurred. Though

he did not touch the box, electricity arced through the air and entered his body.

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • Current exited this

man at his knees, catching his clothing on fire and burning his upper leg.

Electrical Injuries

  • Internal Injury-

This worker was shocked by a tool he was holding. The entrance wound and thermal burns from the

  • verheated tool

are apparent

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • Internal injury

Same hand a few days later , when massive subcutaneous tissue damage had caused severe swelling (swelling usually peaks 24-72 hours after electrical shock).

TSI TSI

Electrical Injuries

  • This worker fell

and grabbed a powerline to catch

  • himself. The

resulting electric shock mummified his first two fingers, which had to be removed.

TSI TSI

Ladders

  • Extension type ladders - 1-4 lean ratio
  • Maintain in good condition.
  • Complete inspections are done

periodically.

  • No improvised repairs are made.

  • Step ladders only used when fully opened.
  • The user faces the ladder while going up

and down.

  • Tops are not used as steps.
  • Back bracing not used for climbing.
  • One person at a time.
  • Fiberglass ladders are recommended.

Scaffolding

  • Ensure proper setup, regular

inspection, and basic maintenance

  • For free-standing mobile

scaffolding, height = 4x base

  • When workers will be riding mobile

scaffolding, height = 2x base

  • Guardrails when scaffold is over 10’
  • Also when height is 4- 10’, < 45” wide.
