pursuant to this section.
✔✔When is the final visual inspection carried out? - ✔✔after secondary removal
✔✔When are workers on an asbestos project required to go through a decontamination
phase? - ✔✔Every time you leave the work area regardless of how long you have been
inside
✔✔Work areas should be mopped and cleaned after removing asbestos to: - ✔✔Pick
up dust and invisible asbestos fibers.
✔✔What is tested with the "aggressive air sample"? - ✔✔Final air quality level 0.01f/cc
✔✔Who is authorized to collect final air clearance samples in schools? - ✔✔An air
monitoring specialist independent of the abatement contractor
✔✔A final encapsulant or "lockdown" is: - ✔✔a substance that is sprayed onto a surface
to minimize the release of asbestos fibers that remain after an asbestos removal
✔✔When can negative pressure machines be turned off? - ✔✔Until the final air quality
level 0.01f/cc is obtained
✔✔What kinds of projects is the glove bag used for? - ✔✔Small, short-term projects that
require a single application.
✔✔How can a negative pressure be obtained in a mini enclosure? - ✔✔Using a HEPA
filter vacuum
✔✔What does "automatic closing" regulation refer to in the event of negative air
pressure failures? - ✔✔Have the decontamination unit "Z" pattern flaps close
themselves if negative pressure fails
✔✔When wearing the respirator, the straps go through? - ✔✔under the hoods of
protective suits
✔✔Where should workers put their clothes on after leaving a work area? - ✔✔in the
clean room
, ✔✔Signs of heat exhausted include: - ✔✔Cool skin, sweaty skin, pale skin, headache,
drowsiness
✔✔Why do we need to pay attention to heat exhausted symptoms? - ✔✔Because it
may be the beginning of Heat Stroke
✔✔How can we prevent overheating problems in asbestos removal work? - ✔✔Drink
enough fluids, avoid alcohol consumption, periodic breaks, get used to the heat
gradually, pay attention to any physical changes in workers, avoid waterproof clothing.
✔✔OSHA requires that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) be available to workers so
that they can - ✔✔Have access to health and safety information and data on chemical
materials to be used in the workplace
✔✔How much protection do organic vapor filters give us against asbestos fibers? -
✔✔Organic vapor filters do not give us effective protection for asbestos fibers,
combined filters are required for when working with organic vapors and asbestos fibers
✔✔Why is it necessary to monitor the air in a confined space? - ✔✔To detect
atmospheric pollutants such as CO, oxygen deficiency, flammable gases or vapors.
✔✔What are they symptoms of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning? - ✔✔Fainting,
vomiting, drowsiness, headache, nausea, lightheadedness
✔✔How can you prevent the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning? - ✔✔Avoid or
minimized the use of machinery that burns, within the work area, place alarms and
monitors to detect CO
✔✔Why is the GCFI used in asbestos abatement projects? - ✔✔To interrupt the current
before it reaches the heart
✔✔Why is the electricity the number one hazard for asbestos workers? - ✔✔Because it
handles water and it depends on the use of the electric current
✔✔Where is the electricity going to the workroom shut off? - ✔✔In the main electrical
box, and a padlock and corresponding labels are placed.
✔✔What type of footwear is recommended for working on asbestos abatement
projects? - ✔✔Boots with a rubber sole, to protect from electric shock and slipping
✔✔To avoid accidental falls on the job site, what is recommended with electrical
cables? - ✔✔Tape them to the wall, to avoid tripping or electric shock, connected to the
GFCI
