Mr . Vidas indicated that during asbestos disposal, <br /> personnel wear half-face respirators, tyvektm overalls, and monitor <br /> the air for asbestos. Mr .

The plan should be prepared by a <br /> safety engineer or industrial hygienist after first reviewing <br /> operations at the site. Implementation of the health and safety plan <br /> should be reviewed by a health and safety professional annually. <br /> 14 CCR 17671 (17646) Availability <br /> There are generally eight employees on site; one operations manager, <br /> one environmental compliance officer, one secretary, and five <br /> equipment operators .
