Facilities Management Guide for Asbestos and Lead

Abstract

The purpose of this guide is to assist Public Works Officers and Departments in the management of asbestos and lead containing building materials and architectural coatings, while ensuring the protection of workers, building occupants, and the environment. Though asbestos and lead hazards are primarily Navy Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) and Environmental Program issues, virtually all Public Works Department programs and projects are affected, including maintenance control, engineering, various shops, service and construction contracts, building material purchases, and credit card purchases. There are other industrial and military unique applications that may use asbestos or lead, which are not considered in this guide. As well, other environmental concerns with asbestos and lead, such as drinking water criteria, are also not included.
