Facility Hygiene Practices Associated with Asbestos Thermal Insulation.

Abstract

Guidance on appropriate practices for cleaning workplaces that have significant amounts of asbestos-containing thermal insulation is presented. Recommended procedures for floors, walls, machinery and equipment, and overhead areas are provided. Recommended cleaning methods are given for HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners, wet-cleaning with amended water, and chemical-impregnated equipment. As a general guide, overhead structures and walls should be vacuumed annually, and floors and equipment vacuumed on a regular cleaning schedule. (Author)
