ASTM E2394 2011 Edition, February 1, 2011 Standard Practice for Maintenance, Renovation, and Repair of Installed Asbestos Cement Products
More info
Description / Abstract:
This practice describes work practices for asbestoscement
products when maintenance, renovation, and repair are required.
This includes common tasks such as drilling and cutting holes in
roofing, siding, pipes, etc. that can result in exposure to
asbestos fibers if not done carefully. These work practices are
supplemented and facilitated by the regulatory, contractual,
training, and supervisory provisions of this practice.
Materials covered include those installed in or on buildings and facilities and those used in external infrastructure such as water, wastewater, and electrical distribution systems. Also included is pavement made from asbestos-cement manufacturing waste.
The work practices described herein are intended for use only with asbestos-cement products already installed in buildings, facilities, and external infrastructure. They are not intended for use in construction or renovation involving the installation of new asbestos-cement products.
The work practices are primarily intended to be used in situations where small amounts of asbestos-cement products must be removed or disturbed in order to perform maintenance, renovation, or repair necessary for operation of the building, facility, or infrastructure.
The work practices described herein are also applicable for use where the primary objective is the removal of asbestoscement products from the building or other location, particularly the use of wet methods and other means of dust and fiber control.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
Warning—Asbestos fibers are acknowledged carcinogens. Breathing asbestos fibers can result in disease of the lungs including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Precautions in this practice should be taken to avoid creating and breathing airborne asbestos particles from materials known or suspected to contain asbestos. Comply with all applicable regulatory requirements addressing asbestos.
This practice does not address safety hazards associated with working on asbestos-cement products such as falling through roof panels or trench cave-ins. The use of power tools presents possible electrical hazards, particularly in wet environments. These and other safety hazards must be considered and controlled in compliance with the employer's policies and applicable regulations.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
