per cubic centimeters of air?
Shall not exceed 2 fibers, longer than 5 micrometers
What is the maximum short term concentraction to which employees can be
exposed?
It shall not exceed 10 fibers longer than 5 micrometers
When removing asbestos, it is always make sure that
the asbestos has been wetted
What three microscopic methods are currently being used to analyze asbestos?
Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM),
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
What method is most avaliable, familiar and frequently used of the microscopic
procedures?
PCM (Phase Contrast Microscopy)
Which method gives the more complete information on airborne asbestos?
TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy)
Regardless of the microscopic method for measuring asbestos, what is the first
important step in the process?
Identifying a homogeneous worksite
, If a contractor who is required to be certified under B&P code 7058.5 and does
not have a cert, they shall pay a mandatory fine of
not less than 1000 and not more than 3000
if conducting an air sample using TEM, you collect 6 samples from inside your
worksite, you draw 2000 liters of air through each filter at 5 liters per minute and
include one laboratory blank and one field blank, you have proceeded _____
according to the EPA.
incorrectly, the volume being drawn through each filter per minute is too low.
(Draw at least 3000 liters of air through each filter at a rate of 2 to 12 liters per minute.
This will take 3000 liters/12 liters per minute = 4 hours and 10 minutes)

applied to thick material
peneteration
The most likely cause if ACM has delaminated or seperated into layers exposing
asbestos fibers is
water damage

the building occupants when inspeciting a building
If the owner requests you add another section of the building to the abatement,
can you accept this orally?
No, instructions or agreements are not binding
Who may request and review training lesson plans and hours a person has been
trained?
all affected employees, all affected employee reps, Reps of the Chief of the Division of
Occupational Safety and Health
Same question
