1. Which of the following is the primary regulation governing asbestos in
schools?
• TSCA Title I
• Clean Air Act
• Safe Drinking Water Act
• AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act)
AHERA is part of TSCA Title II and specifically regulates asbestos in
schools.
,2. Who is legally responsible for developing the written asbestos
abatement project design?
• Contractor
• Building Owner
• Accredited Project Designer
• Maintenance Supervisor
Only accredited project designers are authorized to develop the
written scope and technical specifications.
3. What must be included in an asbestos project design plan?
• Only materials to be removed
• Location, quantity, condition of ACM, removal method, safety
measures
• Only cost estimation
• Type of ceiling tile used
A complete design includes detailed location and quantity, condition
assessment, engineering controls, and removal methods.
4. What federal agency enforces worker safety regulations during
asbestos abatement?
• OSHA
• EPA
• CDC
,• DOT
OSHA regulates worker safety and exposure limits in asbestos
abatement projects.
5. The design should require negative pressure of at least:
• 0.05 inches water gauge
• 0.02 inches water gauge
• 0.10 inches water gauge
• 1.0 psi
The minimum required negative pressure in a containment is 0.02
inches of water gauge to prevent fiber release.
6. What is the correct sequence for abatement activities in a project
design?
• Encapsulation → Enclosure → Removal
• Pre-cleaning → Isolation → Removal → Final Cleaning
• Final Cleaning → Pre-cleaning → Removal
• Removal → Air sampling → Planning
A systematic design begins with pre-cleaning, then isolating the
area, followed by removal and final cleaning.
7. Which document must accompany all waste shipments from an
asbestos project?
• MSDS
, • Project Design Report
• AHERA Report
• Asbestos Waste Shipment Record
The waste shipment record ensures tracking from generation to
disposal in accordance with NESHAP.
8. Which air-cleaning device is mandatory in a negative pressure
enclosure?
• Ozone Generator
• HEPA-filtered Negative Air Machine
• Charcoal Filter
• Electrostatic Filter
HEPA filters are required to prevent asbestos fibers from escaping
the work area.
9. Who must be notified under NESHAP prior to asbestos removal?
• EPA or delegated state authority
• CDC
• OSHA
• Department of Energy
NESHAP requires notification to EPA or the delegated state agency
before asbestos removal.
10. What is the primary purpose of a glove bag?
