Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Sealed
				and labeled containers of asbestos-containing waste material shall be removed
				and transported to a prearranged disposal location.
b) All dump receipts, trip tickets,
				transportation manifests and/or other documentation of disposal shall be
				delivered to the building owner for his records. A recordkeeping format
				utilizing a chain-of-custody form shall include the names and addresses of the
				building owner, contractor, pickup site, disposal site, the estimated quantity
				of the asbestos waste and the type and number of containers used. The form
				shall be signed by the building owner, the contractor, and the disposal site
				operator, as the material changes custody. If a separate hauler is employed,
				his name, address, telephone number and signature shall also appear on the
				form.
c) The contractor shall
				transport asbestos materials in accordance with the following procedures:
1) Drums, bags and wrapped components that
				have been removed from the work area shall be loaded into an enclosed truck for
				transportation. Cargo areas shall be locked when unattended.
2) The enclosed cargo area of the truck shall
				be free of debris and lined with six mil polyethylene or equivalent sheeting to
				prevent contamination from leaking or spilled containers. Floor sheeting shall
				be installed first and extend up the side walls. Wall sheeting shall overlap by
				six inches and be taped into place.
3) Drums shall be placed on level surfaces in
				the cargo area and packed tightly together to prevent shifting and tipping.
				Large structural components shall not be placed on top of bags of
				asbestos-containing materials and shall be secured to prevent shifting.
				Containers shall not be thrown into the truck cargo area.
4) Personnel loading asbestos-containing
				waste shall be licensed workers and shall be protected by disposable clothing,
				including head, body and foot protection and, at a minimum, half-facepiece,
				air-purifying, dual cartridge respirators equipped with high efficiency HEPA
				filters.
5) Any debris or residue
				observed on containers or surfaces outside of the work area resulting from
				cleanup or disposal activities shall be immediately cleaned up using HEPA
				filtered vacuum equipment and/or wet methods.
6) Dumpsters or enclosed cargo areas of
				trucks used for asbestos waste storage or disposal shall be constructed of
				metal and have metal doors and metal tops that can be closed and locked to
				prevent vandalism, wind dispersion of asbestos fibers, or other disturbance of
				bagged asbestos debris. Unbagged material and nonasbestos waste shall not be
				placed in these containers. Bags shall be placed, not thrown, into these
				containers to avoid splitting.
7)
				Asbestos-containing waste materials shall be transported directly to the
				landfill. Temporary storage at a location other than the abatement project
				shall not be permitted.
