Asbestos Tidbid for April

Hello All!!  After almost 6 years at the same location in Treasure Island we have moved the classroom to a  New location.

 

Follow the  “Yellow Brick Road”  to “Emerald City Comic Book” store at the corner of 49th street and 113th Avenue… U really cannot miss it there is a HUGE sign on the south side of 49th and at the corner of 113th Emerald City…clear across the county….closer to Tampa

On with the tidbit… Here are a few numbers that you all should have an interest in, but first

Lettuce congratulate the newest LAC to the fold! Mona J. has studied  all the regs and passed the State of Florida test for Licensed Asbestos Consultant!!   (VRET’s study guide, a tome of 800+ multiple choice questions was a help)

EPA’s clean air = .01 f/cc

Osha’s @ 1926.1101 P.E.L.= .1 f/cc as 8 hour TWA

Osha’s @ 1926.1101 E.L.= 1 f/cc over a 30 minute period

Osha’s @ 1926.1101 the 25/10 rule for class 1 work = Hygiene Facilities  (J) are included in the D-con.

EPA Neshap @ 61.145= square linear and cubic footage of RACM that MUST be notified on if exceeding these amounts 160 sq, 260 linear or 35 cubic feet.

EPA Neshap @ appendix A (the roofing section of the Neshap) 5,580 square feet when using the “R/B Cutter….. This is the Threshold Amount .Below this amount U can use whatever method to remove the roof it is NOT regulated by the Federal Neshap… (Always a good Idea to check the local county DEP if they differ)
