Abatement: Procedures to control fiber release from asbestos -containing building materials. <br />Includes removal, repair, encapsulation and enclosure. <br />B. Action Level: An exposure of airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of 0.10 <br />fiber per cubic centimeter of air. <br />C. Air Monitoring: The process of measuring the fiber content of a specific volume of air in a <br />stated period of time. <br />D. Air Sampling Professional: The professional contracted or employed to supervise air <br />monitoring and analysis schemes. This individual is also responsible for recognition of <br />technical deficiencies in Worker protection equipment and procedures during both planning <br />and on-site phases of an abatement project. This individual shall be certified in the <br />comprehensive practice of industrial hygiene by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene <br />Incorporated (C.I.H.) and have specialized experience in air sampling for asbestos. Other <br />acceptable Air Sampling Professionals include Environmental Engineers and Environmental <br />Scientists with equivalent experience in asbestos/air monitoring and Worker protection. All <br />air sampling professionals shall be Cal/OSHA certified to perform air sampling and <br />monitoring. All asbestos abatement operations are required to be monitored by the <br />previously selected Asbestos Abatement Project Management firm. <br />E. Amended Water: Water to which a surfactant has been added. <br />F. Area Monitoring: Sampling of asbestos fiber concentrations within the asbestos Work Area <br />and outside the asbestos Work Area which is representative of the airborne concentrations of <br />4 <br />
