Guidance for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings
This publication rovides guidance on controlling asbestos-containing materials (ACM) found in buildings.
In 1983 EPA prepared and distributed “Guidance for Controlling Friable Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings” (USEPA 1983a). Since this guidance was published, EPA has gathered additional information and has gained valuable experience through its continuing Asbestos-in-Buildings Program.
EPA offers building owners guidance to understand the technical issues, determine if asbestos is present in a building, plan a control program and choose the course of further action if necessary.
This summary is divided into two parts. The first is an introduction to the problem of asbestos in buildings and summarizes the material that is presented in Chapter 1. The second part of the summary provides a concise outline of the remainder of the report.
It lists the major steps needed to determine whether asbestos is present in a building (Chapter 2), establish a special operations and maintenance (O&M) program (Chapter 3), assess the need for further action (Chapters 4 and 5), and carry out an abatement project (Chapter 6).
