Special Asbestos Projects in Renovation Contracts

This manual is one of many asbestos services provided by the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center NFESC. It replaces the Naval Energy and Environmental Activity NEESA document 70.2-009.3, and is one of a series designed to provide operating procedures during all phases of asbestos abatement contracts. The series includes guidance on demolition, renovation, and special projects. The NFESC revised this document to help Navy personnel administer asbestos removal contracts. The intent of the manual is to ensure that the contractor will 1 protect the workers health and safety 2 prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the environment and 3 comply with all applicable regulations throughout the duration of the contract. The manual combines information from the following Federal and Navy standards Occupational Safety and Health Administration OSHA 29 CFR 1915.1001 and 1926.1101, Environmental Protection Agency EPA 40 CFR 61 and 763, Naval Facilities Guide Specifications NFGS Section 13281, OPNAV1NST 5100.23, and various EPA guidance documents. The compiled material provides a backbone for managing asbestos in a variety of special projects. The format follows the logical sequence of an asbestos project. It is designed to be concise and easy to use, relying on removable checklists that emphasize important criteria. These checklists can be taken to the abatement site to verify that all critical portions of the contract are completed. The checklists provide basic information regarding required andor recommended procedures for managing asbestos removal contracts. Detailed discussions of each checklist are included. Appendices provide additional relevant information, which aid in administering the contract.
