II Control of Asbestos Hazards

The worker is expected to demonstrate his knowledge and understanding of thecontent of this training by:

- correctly answering at least 18 of 25 questions on the written test given at the

end of the class, and

- implementing principles and practices of asbestos hazard control on the job

(This is subject to verification by review and inspection by the instructor)

In turn, demonstrable success in the above will indicate achievement of the trainingand re-training objectives of the Maryland State Employees Asbestos Program

A Control Methods:

Following this presentation the trainees

1 are expected to state when asbestos may be hazardous, and

2 list the four essential control methods (prepare area, protect worker,

minimize fibers, cleanup and disposal Workers shall be encouraged totake those four principles and apply them to individual worksituations)

B Personal Protection:

disposable protective clothing is removed, with emphasis on leavingthe respirator on until clothing has been disposed of

4 State the essential function of a respirator

5 List criteria used as a basis for selecting proper respiratory protection

6 Describe characteristics of and differentiate between air-purifying and

air-supplied respirators

7 Describe how a positive-pressure respirator differs from a

negative-pressure respirator, and state how a positive negative-pressure respiratorprovides greater protection against asbestos exposure

8 State the limitations of ½ faced negative pressure and PAPR respirators

in oxygen-deficient atmospheres

9 Describe inspection, maintenance, cleaning, and storage procedures the

worker (user) is expected to perform

posting of signs

D Minimizing Release of Asbestos Fibers into the Air

Upon completion of this portion of the training, workers are expected to beable to:

1 Describe and/or demonstrate the use of fiber-containment devices such

as a vacuum enclosure system, wet collection system, and plasticenclosures to confine fibers and restrict contamination of adjacentareas

2 State the reasons for using the alternate "wet methods: and describe

appropriate procedures for doing this

3 Describe and/or demonstrate the design, proper use, and maintenance

of the HEPA Vacuum for asbestos-related work, and the limitations ofconventional "shop-vac" for such work

E Cleanup and Disposal of Asbestos Waste:

Upon completion of this presentation, workers will be able to:
