  7. FRIABLE vs. NONFRIABLE • Friable ACM - >1% asbestos that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry • Nonfriable ACM - >1% asbestos that cannot be ...... • Nonfriable can be made friable by sanding, grinding, abrading, weathering Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments

  24. Requirements for Industrial Facilities. • Inspect and identify all asbestos containing materials • Evaluate the Condition of Any Asbestos • Train personnel • Do not disturb if you don’t have too • If the asbestos is going to be disturbed then hire a licensed contractor or use trained employees of the facility to remove Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments

  25. Training Requirements • Awareness – Work around but don’t disturb (janitorial) • 16 hour training – Work around and possibly disturb (maintenance) • 40 hour training – actively abate Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments

  26. Demolition of Structures and Buildings • Inspect (if safe to do so) • Evaluate the Condition of Any Asbestos (friable or nonfriable) • Hire a licensed contractor or use trained employees of the facility to remove friable (notification required) • After friable is removed - demolish or renovate (notification required) Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments

  27. What Should You Do With Damaged Buildings & Debris? • If unsafe to inspect the assumption must be made that friable asbestos is present • Debris should be wetted when disturbed for demolition or loading (Class II Supervisor on site) • Sort by trained personnel may be a option • Vehicles should be covered when transporting waste that contains or is assumed to contain friable asbestos Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments

  28. Disposal • Disposal should be at a landfill approved by KDHE Bureau of Waste Management. • Friable – Approved Landfill • Nonfriable – to any landfill that will take • Burning of debris that contains or is assumed to contain asbestos is prohibited Our Vision - Healthy Kansans living in safe and sustainable environments
