  24. Asbestos • Definition: • A group of six naturally occurring minerals that can be separated into fibers. • Amosite, Chrysotile, Tremolite, Actinolite, Anthophyllite, and Crocidolite • Fibers DO NOT evaporate into air or dissolve in water. • Asbestos materials are referred to as being either “Friable” or “Non-friable”. • Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) – a material containing greater than 1% asbestos content

  25. Common Types of Asbestos Amosite Crocidolite Chrysotile Note: The general use of asbestos is now banned. Blue and Brown Asbestos banned in 1985, white in 1999.

  26. Common Types of Asbestos Chrysotile • Known as “White asbestos”it has tiny, fine fibers that are, smooth, flexible, and curly. • It is used in asbestos cement, vinyl floor tiles, insulation materials, oven gloves, etc. • It makes up approximately 90% of asbestos used world-wide.

  27. Common Types of Asbestos • Known as “brown asbestos”it has long, brittle, needle-like fibers. • It is used in high-friction application such as brake shoes and clutches. • Its fibers may be 700 times smaller than a human hair. Amosite Human Hair

  28. Common Types of Asbestos • Know as “blue asbestos”it is soft, silky, and flexible. It is harder than other asbestos but still flexible and strong. • It was mainly used in thermal lagging and sprayed coating • It has been found in imported insulation board. • Used in wrapping, sheeting, piping and boiler wrap. • It is approximately 10% of the asbestos used in the US. Crocidolite

  29. Trapped in Mucous Membranes Lodged in the Lung or Body Tissues Fibers Inhaled Disease can Develop Health Effects of Asbestos • The body cannot break the asbestos fibers down or remove them. • Fibers can become trapped in the mucous membranes of the nose or throat, or pass deep into the lungs. • Once they are lodged in the lung or body tissues, they remain in place where they can cause diseases.

  30. Safe Handling of Asbestos • Do not disturb sprayed on materials. • Do not disturb thermal system insulation. • Do not cut or drill transit board or pipe. • Report uncovered friable asbestos to supervisor. • Report damaged asbestos material to supervisor. • Do not enter asbestos abatement area. • Never try to take a sample yourself unless you are licensed to do so.

  35. Lockout/Tagout • Definitions • Lockout device: • Use to hold an energy isolating device in the safe position and prevents the energizing of an equipment • Tag-out device: • Use along with lockout devices as an additional warning or information. • This tag can only be removed by the person originally installing it or a qualified electrician.
