Such controls might include wind-screens near unloading areas or the use of dust suppressants. • If the above controls cannot reduce employee dust exposure below acceptable levels as determined by Forward Landfill (considering factors including irritation and annoyance to employees), site personnel at risk would be supplied with gloves, coveralls, eye protections and respirators, with associated training in their use. • Wastes must not leave the landfill on workers' clothing. Workers who have had direct contact with waste, or who have performed operations that may involve direct contact with wastes (such as equipment maintenance or asbestos handling),would wear disposable clothing or change clothing before leaving the site. The potentially contaminated clothing will be cleaned or disposed as appropriate. • To avoid cross-contamination from contaminated to non-contaminated sites, the applicant would install a pressurized water distribution system to service a decontamination facility for personnel and equipment. The decontamination facility may be fixed or mobile. • For asbestos, a strict Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM)handling program would be developed, and would include the following: a. Bagged ACM would be dumped only onto.the working face of the asbestos
