Contractors should have contingency plans that include stopping work, evacuation of the immediate area and sampling by a certified AHERA Building Inspector whenever these materials are found. Concealed suspect materials may include, but are not limited to: non-fiberglass pipe or roof drain insulation; spray-applied coatings; cement board; asphalt or paper vapor barriers; floorings and adhesives. If discovered, all asbestos-containing materials that will be disturbed as a natural part of renovation and/or demolition are required to be removed and disposed of in accordance with Washington State regulations. Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and PSCAA require that the abatement be performed using Certified Asbestos Workers under the direct on-site supervision by a Certified Asbestos Supervisor. NVL recommends that an AHERA inspector/project manager be on site at the time of renovation/demolition to ensure that any potentially asbestos-containing materials uncovered during the process of renovation/demolition be dealt with properly. NVL Labs, Inc. is making the following recommendations regarding asbestos: 1. A copy of this inspection report should be maintained at the project site during the duration of renovation /demolition. 2. A copy of this inspection report should be provided to the General Contractor and any Sub Contractors working on the renovation /demolition project. 3. The inspection report is not intended to serve as a design / bidding document, or scope of work prior to renovation /demolition. 4. Abatement specifications should be prepared by a Hazardous Materials Consulting firm covering the regulated building materials that will be impacted by the renovations/demolition, and these specifications should be part of any contract documents prepared for this project. 5. A licensed asbestos abatement contractor must be utilized to remove any asbestos-containing materials that will be impacted by the planned renovation /demolition. 6. A Hazardous Materials Consulting Firm should provide project oversight and air monitoring during the removal of the asbestos-containing materials.
