    2. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management

    3. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Asbestos Definition: A group of naturally occurring minerals that can be separated into fibers. Fibers DO NOT evaporate into air or dissolve in water. Asbestos materials are referred to as being either Friable or Non-friable.

    4. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Friable Asbestos Friable materials can be crushed to powder by hand pressure when dry, and release small fibers as they crumble. Friable asbestos containing materials include: Sprayed-on asbestos insulation. Some pipe wrapping Some ceiling tiles

    5. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Non-friable Asbestos Non-friable asbestos is usually found bonded into other materials. Its fibers are harder to break down into powder, but can still be released by cutting, grinding or sanding. Non-friable asbestos containing materials include: Floor tiles Asbestos cement pipes Transit boards Roofing shingles

    6. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Common Materials that May Contain Asbestos Surfacing Materials: Sprayed on and troweled on surfaces for acoustical, decorative, or fireproofing Plaster and fire proof insulation Thermal System Insulation: Pipe wrap, cement, gaskets, and etc. Materials used to inhibit heat transfer or condensation Miscellaneous Materials: Floor tiles Most 9 floor tiles and few 12 in buildings build prior to 1980 Ceiling tiles, roofing felt, fabrics Shingles, or siding Friction materials (brakes) Friction materials (brakes)

    7. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Common Types Of Asbestos

    8. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Common Types Of Asbestos Known as White asbestos it has tiny, fine fibers that are, smooth, flexible, and curly. It is used in asbestos cement, vinyl floor tiles, insulation materials, oven gloves, etc. It makes up approximately 90% of asbestos used world-wide. Chrysolite: Chrysotile has soft, curly fibres and is used in asbestos cement, vinyl floor tiles, roofing felt, insulation materials, oven gloves. Chrysotile, or white asbestos, is the most common form of asbestos in the United States and Canada and may be the least harmful. The fibers are fine, smooth, and white.

    9. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Common Types Of Asbestos Cont. Known as brown asbestos it has long, brittle, needle-like fibers. It is used in high-friction application such as brake shoes and clutches. Its fibers may be 700 times smaller than a human hair. Speaker Notes: Chrysotile, Amosite, and Crocidolite are known to cause mesothelioma. Individual fibers are not visible to the naked eye. Amosite, or brown asbestos, is most often used in thermal insulation systems. The fibers are brittle and straight. Speaker Notes: Chrysotile, Amosite, and Crocidolite are known to cause mesothelioma.

    10. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Common Types Of Asbestos Cont. Know as blue asbestos it is soft, silky, and flexible. It is harder than other asbestos but still flexible and strong. It was mainly used in thermal lagging and sprayed coating It has been found in imported insulation board. Used in wrapping, sheeting, piping and boiler wrap. It is approximately 10% of the asbestos used in the US. Chrysotile (White Asbestos) - used as insulation, fireproofing and soundproofing Amosite (Brown Asbestos) - used in high-friction applications such as brake shoes and clutches Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) - used in high temperature insulation applications; not common was mainly used in thermal lagging and sprayed coatings but has been found in imported insulation board. It may be found in some asbestos cement products Chrysotile (White Asbestos) - used as insulation, fireproofing and soundproofing Amosite (Brown Asbestos) - used in high-friction applications such as brake shoes and clutches Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos) - used in high temperature insulation applications; not common was mainly used in thermal lagging and sprayed coatings but has been found in imported insulation board. It may be found in some asbestos cement products

    11. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Asbestos Work Classifications Class I Asbestos Work Activities involving the removal of TSI and surfacing ACM. Class II Asbestos Work Activities involving of ACM which is not TSI or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to: Removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile & sheeting. Roofing and siding shingles and construction mastics. Class III Asbestos Work Activities involving repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI and surfacing PACM, is likely to be disturbed, for example: TSI with asbestos containing material applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts or other structural components to prevent heat loss or gain. Surfacing ACM that has been sprayed, toweled-on or otherwise applied to surfaces such as: Acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, and other purposes.

    12. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Asbestos Work Classifications Class IV Asbestos Work Includes maintenance and custodial activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM or PACM and activities to clean up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II, and III activities. Qualified FP&M employees, or contractors, cleaning up debris and waste in a regulated area where respirators are required shall wear respirators. Waste and debris in areas where friable TSI or surfacing materials is accessible shall be assumed to contain asbestos.

    13. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Work Practice Controls for Class III & IV Asbestos Work Drilling, cutting, abrading, sanding, chipping, breaking of ACM should be performed using drop cloths and mini-enclosures or glove bag systems or another isolation method. Vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters should be used for cleanup. Use of Wet Methods, wetting agents during asbestos handling, mixing, removal, cutting, application, and cleanup, unless infeasible due to creation of other hazards. Prompt disposal of wastes contaminated with asbestos in leak-tight containers. Respirators and other appropriate PPE shall be worn where TSI or surfacing material is involved.

    14. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Inhalation is the most common form of entry to body The body cannot break the asbestos fibers down or remove them. Fibers can become trapped in the mucous membranes of the nose or throat, or pass deep into the lungs. Once they are lodged in the lung or body tissues, they remain in place where they can cause diseases.

    15. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Potential Diseases Asbestosis A breathing disorder caused by inhaling high levels of asbestos fibers. Primary effects are scarring of the lung tissue Signs and symptoms of asbestosis include: Shortness of breath Decreased tolerance for physical activity Coughing Chest pain Symptoms may appear anywhere from 10 to 20 years after initial exposure Speaker note: Asbestosis - this is a scarring of the lung tissue. The scarring occurring when acid produced by the body to try and dislodge asbestos fibres damages the lung tissue instead. This leads to inadequate oxygen intake to the blood. Asbestosis restricts breathing and leads to the volume of the lung being decreased and resistance in the airways being increased. Speaker note: Asbestosis - this is a scarring of the lung tissue.

    16. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Potential Diseases Lung Cancer A serious tumor of the bronchi covering for people exposed to asbestos. Signs and symptoms of lung cancer include: Coughing and a change of breathing Chest pains Hoarseness Anemia The risk for smokers is 80 90 times greater Symptoms may appear after about 15 to 30 years, depending on the frequency and duration of asbestos exposure Speaker note: Lung cancer :Lung cancer can appear after about 15 to 25 years, depending on the frequency and duration of asbestos exposure. Speaker note: Lung cancer :Lung cancer can appear after about 15 to 25 years, depending on the frequency and duration of asbestos exposure.

    17. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Potential Diseases Mesothelioma A rare form of cancer which most often occurs in the thin membrane lining of the lungs, chest, abdomen, and heart. Signs and symptoms of Mesothelioma include: Shortness of breath Pleural effusion Chest pains No increased risk for smokers Symptoms may appear 15 to 40 years after exposure Speaker Note: Mesothelioma - this is a cancer of the pleura (lining of the chest) and the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity). Speaker Note: Mesothelioma - this is a cancer of the pleura (lining of the chest) and the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity).

    18. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Ways to Protect Yourself Do not touch or disturb any surface materials that may contain asbestos. If you are uncertain DO NOT TOUCH Exposure to .1 fiber/cubic centimeter in an 8 hour day is potentially hazardous. This amount is so small you cant even see it Do not enter an asbestos abatement area Report uncovered friable asbestos or damaged asbestos material to supervisor Do not cut or drill transit board or pipe When removing ventilation system filters, do not shake the filters to remove dust

    19. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Respirators & Medical Surveillance Respirators Use of respirator during work activities Class I & II for contractors. Class III & IV for qualified FP&M employees must follow a Respiratory Protection Program in compliance with OSHA requirements. Medical Surveillance Must be instituted for employees who for a combined total of 30 or more days per year are exposed at or above a permissible exposure limit Any day in which a worker engages in Class II or III operations (or a combination thereof) on intact material for one hour or less, while using appropriate work practices, shall not be counted.

    20. UW-Eau Claire Facilities Planning & Management Summary Recognize potential asbestos locations Understand the health risks Do not disturb asbestos Understand ways to protect yourself Do not handle asbestos containing materials unless authorized to do so
