DLA-SM ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sep 2022 

Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) can be defined in one of two ways: friable and non-friable. 

Friable asbestos is any material containing more than one-percent asbestos and which, when dry, can be easily 

crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Examples of friable materials include sprayed or 

troweled materials, such as acoustical ceiling spray or boiler insulation, paper insulation, and drop-in ceiling 

tiles. Any vapor barrier on resilient floor covering, such as sheet vinyl or tile is considered friable asbestos. 

Non-friable asbestos is divided into two categories, Category I is non-friable ACM such as packing, gaskets, 

resilient floor covering and asphalt roof products containing more than one-percent asbestos. Category II is nonfriable ACM material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, that contains more than two-percent asbestos. 

Examples include transited wall or roof shingles, wallboard, or cement pipe. 

DLA-SM employees shall not attempt to damage/disturb/penetrate the surface area of any Depot 

building/structure. DLA-SM employees are not authorized to perform any remediation, clean up, disposal, etc. 

of asbestos or ACM. Any/all remediation, clean up, disposal, etc. must be contracted by DLA-SM, performed 

by trained/certified individuals, and be completed in accordance with all applicable regulations.

Any planned Depot building repair/renovation project or emergency maintenance incident occurring due to 

facility structural/utility damage, such as waterline leak above ceiling tile, must be assessed by an outside 

contractor because of the potential for the presence or disturbance of hidden/encapsulated ACM. Please report 

any type of structural damage to the Depot Manager or ESOH personnel. 

DLA-SM ESOH personnel provide asbestos awareness training to all Depot employees to include the location

of all areas containing asbestos (ACM) and the health effects associated with asbestos exposure. The 

appropriate work practices implemented to protect employees from exposure to asbestos will also be addressed 

during training. Asbestos awareness training will be provided to all DLA-SM employees during new employee 

orientation and annually. DLA-SM ESOH personnel will also provide asbestos survey results to all employees

as requested.
