Current through July 10, 2024
(a) At all asbestos abatement projects, work
			 areas shall be equipped with decontamination facilities consisting of: a clean
			 room, a shower room, and an equipment room. Each room shall be separated from
			 the other and from the work area by airlocks such as will prevent the free
			 passage of air or asbestos fibers and shall be accessible through doorways
			 protected with two (2) overlapping 4 mil polyethylene sheets. The clean room
			 (or change room) shall be equipped with suitable hooks, lockers, shelves, etc.
			 for workers to store personal articles and clothing. The shower room shall be
			 contiguous to the clean room and equipment room. All personnel entering or
			 leaving the work area shall pass through the shower room. The number of showers
			 provided shall satisfy the requirements of OSHA
			 29
			 CFR 1910.141(d) (3) (ii).
			 Warm water shall be supplied to the showers. The equipment room (dirty room)

			 both by means of suitable barriers or overlapping flaps such as will prevent
			 the free passage of air or asbestos fibers.

			 asbestos abatement project work area unless first decontaminated by showering,
			 wet washing or HEPA vacuuming to remove all asbestos debris. No asbestos
			 contaminated materials or persons shall enter the clean room.

			 shall abut the work area. In situations where it is not possible, due to
			 unusual conditions, to establish decontamination systems contiguous to the work
			 area, personnel shall be directed to remove visible asbestos debris from their
			 persons by HEPA-filtered vacuuming prior to donning clean disposable coveralls
			 while still in the work area, and proceeding directly to a remote
			 decontamination system to shower and change clothes.
(d) In specific situations where the asbestos
			 contractor determines that it is not feasible to establish a contiguous
			 decontamination system at a work site, the asbestos contractor shall provide
			 written notification and provide a copy to the facility owner of intent to
			 utilize a remote decontamination system. Such systems must be operated in
			 conformance with
			 29 CFR
			 1926.1101(j). Such notice
			 shall be made with the notification required under Section
			 19a-332a-3.

			 securely seal any residual fibers that may be present after the surfaces have
			 been visually inspected and found to be free of all visible residue.
(d) No equipment, supplies, or materials
			 (except properly containerized waste material) shall be removed from an
			 asbestos abatement project work area unless such equipment, supplies, or

			 that decontamination and cleaning free of asbestos debris is neither possible
			 nor feasible, then the object shall be thoroughly wrapped in a minimum of two
			 (2) layers of six (6) mil polyethylene sheeting with all joints, seams and
			 overlaps sealed with tape; or containerized in a metal drum with a locking lid.
			 Examples include, but are not limited to, air filtration or HEPA-filtered
			 vacuuming equipment which may be wrapped in polyethylene rather than
			 dismantling beyond the HEPA filters for cleaning purposes; sections of
			 insulated pipe or other objects to be disposed of intact may be wrapped in
			 polyethylene without prior removal of asbestos. Wood or other materials used to
			 construct on-site decontamination or shower units may be wrapped in
			 polyethylene for disposal or transport to another contaminated work site for
			 re-use.
(e) HEPA-filtered vacuum
			 cleaners shall be emptied of collected asbestos waste contents prior to removal
			 of the equipment from the work area.
(f) All pre-filters in the air filtration
			 devices shall be removed prior to removal of the unit from an asbestos work
			 site. The air filtration device shall be damp cleaned completely inside and
			 out. The equipment shall be wrapped in polyethylene pursuant to Subsection
			 19a-332a-7(b)
			 prior to removing it from the work area. The replacement of filters shall occur
