List three building materials / locations where ACM is likely to be found - Answer>>> There are
over 3000 building products that may contain asbestos. A limited list of examples are: taping
mud, flooring mastics/adhesives, popcorn ceilings, fireproofing, vinyl floor tiles, sheet flooring
backing, transite, fire doors, fume hoods, felt under roofs or siding, kiln bricks and cement, lab
equipment, fire safety equipment, auditorium curtains, gaskets, vibration joints, HVAC duct
tape, and many many more.
What engineering controls are always required regardless of the class of work? - Answer>>> 1.
Vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters (except for some roof jobs)
2. Wet methods (except where not feasible)
3. Prompt clean up
In addition to the engineering controls required regardless of the class of work, what control
methods are required to achieve compliance with the PEL and EL? - Answer>>> 1. Local
exhaust ventilation with HEPA filter
2. Enclosure or isolation of removal processes
3. Ventilation of the regulated area to move contaminated air away from the breathing zone of
employees and toward a filtration device equipped with a HEPA filter
, 4. Use of other work practices and engineering controls that the Assistant Secretary (OSHA) can
show to be feasible
5. If control methods are insufficient to reduce employee exposure to or below the PEL and/or
EL the employer shall use them to reduce the levels as low as possible and supplement with
greater respiratory protection.
What are the 3 major diseases related to asbestos exposures ? - Answer>>> Asbestosis, Lung
Cancer, Mesothelioma.
What is a latency period ? What is the latency period for asbestos related illnesses ? -
Answer>>> The time between exposure to asbestos and the time symptoms appear. 10-40 years.
What does 'challenge testing' mean? (Previously referred to as DOP testing) - Answer>>>
Measuring the effectiveness of the HEPA filter on a device, typically a negative air machine or
vacuum.
In AHERA, what are the management plan requirements for maintaining information on
inspections? - Answer>>> 1. Dates of the inspections
2. A blueprint, diagram, or written description of each school building that clearly identifies
types, location, and quantity of ACBMs.
3. Copies of the bulk sample analysis.
4. Descriptions of response actions
5. Descriptions of assessments
How effective are HEPA filters? - Answer>>> They are capable of trapping and retaining at least
99.97% of all particles 0.3 microns in diameter or larger.
According to NIOSH Method 7400, what is the definition of a fiber? - Answer>>> Greater than
five microns in length with a length to width ratio equal to or greater than 3:1.
According to 40 CFR 763 what is the definition of an asbestos fiber? - Answer>>> A structure
greater than or equal to 0.5 microns in length with an aspect ratio of 5:1 or greater and having
substantially parallel sides.
