Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Encapsulation
				constitutes spraying friable asbestos-containing material with a liquid sealant (not
				including paint) that helps bind the asbestos together with other material
				components to adhere it firmly to the building structure.
1. The requirements of this section are set forth
				in order to prevent the contamination of the building environment which may be
				caused by improperly performed asbestos encapsulation work.
i. Encapsulation shall not be performed where:
(1) Asbestos-containing material is friable,
				damaged, or deteriorating;
(2) Effective
				long-term inspection of the encapsulated site cannot be assured;
(3) The source of asbestos is highly accessible to
				building occupants and damage to material is possible;
(4) The asbestos-containing material does not
				adhere well to the substrate;
(5) There
				is existing or potential water damage to asbestos containing material;
(6) The asbestos-containing material is more than
				one inch thick; and is used to cover ceilings, walls, beams, or other structural
				members;
(7) The asbestos-containing
				material is subject to high vibration.

				where the technique is to be utilized shall be roped off and appropriate caution
				and/or danger signs posted on the perimeter to prevent unauthorized personnel from
				entering the work area.
3. All necessary
				materials and supplies shall be brought into the work area before any removal
				begins.
4. One air change every 15
				minutes shall be provided in a glovebag work area enclosure.
5. If no mini-enclosure is established, then the
				contractor shall arrange for shutting down and sealing off all electrical, heating,
				cooling, and ventilating or other air handling systems.
i. If approved by the asbestos safety control
				monitor, the lighting and receptacles in the work area may be used if these are
				properly protected by ground fault circuit interruptors and can be adequately
				cleaned following abatement.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The requirements of
				this section are intended to prevent contamination and exposure of building
				occupants to asbestos fibers.
(b) The
				building owner shall notify building occupants in writing 20 business days prior to
				the commencement of an asbestos abatement project. The building owner shall outline

1. This
				notification shall be posted seven days prior to the preparation of the work area,
				in visible locations, for the benefit of the affected occupants of the work place,
				and in areas immediately adjacent to the asbestos abatement project. It shall be the
				owner's responsibility to ensure that these postings are maintained throughout the
				project.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This section applies
				to all non-friable, miscellaneous asbestos-containing material.
1. When the removal method will cause the building
				environment to become contaminated with airborne asbestos fibers caused by a
				combination of mechanical and manual tasks, such as grinding the surface of vinyl
				asbestos floor tiles, then complete separation of the worksite from the rest of the
				building shall be required and the precautions and procedures as delineated in
				5:23-8.15 or 8.19, as appropriate, shall
				be followed. A construction permit for asbestos abatement pursuant to this
				subchapter shall be required.

				the removal method will not contaminate the building environment with airborne
				asbestos fibers, such as when an electric heating appliance is used to loosen vinyl
				asbestos floor tiles or when the "Recommended Work Practices for the Removal of
				Resilient Floor Coverings" (latest edition) by the Resilient Floor Covering
				Institute are followed in removing floor tile, sheet vinyl flooring and the
				associated adhesives, then general isolation of the work area from the surrounding
				environment by the closing of doors and windows in the removal areas, when feasible,
				safe work practices and proper clean-up procedures shall be required.

				sampling using a primary standard. Pumps shall be re-calibrated with a minimum of a
				secondary standard before and after each sample is collected. Protocols shall be
				established for periodic calibration, using a primary standard. The frequency of
				primary recalibration checks shall be initially high, until experience is
				accumulated to show that it can be reduced while maintaining the required sampling
				accuracy. Records shall be kept of all calibrations and shall be part of the daily
				log.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 5 - COMMUNITY AFFAIRS › Chapter 23 - UNIFORM CONSTRUCTION CODE › Subchapter 9 - CODE INTERPRETATIONS › Section 5:23-9.3 - Interpretation: Recreational park trailers

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This is a binding,
				prospective interpretation of the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) issued pursuant to
				the Uniform Construction Code Act,
				52:27D-124.
1. The Uniform Construction Code Act gives the
				Commissioner the authority to issue such prospective interpretations to resolve
				inconsistent or conflicting code interpretations.
2. With regard to recreational park trailers, the
				Construction County Board of Appeals of Sussex County rendered a decision that no
				permit is required for the installation of these structures. This is inconsistent
				with the Uniform Construction Code Act itself and with the application of the
				Uniform Construction Code to recreational park trailers by the Department and by
				local enforcing agencies around the State.
3. Recreational park trailers, also known as "park
				models," are subject to all of the provisions of the Uniform Construction Code,
				including the requirement to obtain a permit for installation and the requirement to
				have all applicable prior approvals. They are closed construction and are subject to
				the requirements of N.J.A.C. 5:23-4D. The basis for this determination is presented
				in (b) through (h) below.

				result in any reduction of the required aisle accessway width when measured from the
				stool and any other adjacent obstacle, including, without limitation, other stools
				in back-to-back seating arrangements; and
3. Stools that swivel and have a back rest shall
				be self-centering.
