ID fibers, which may be asbestos.

29
Q

what are the methods to control asbestos hazards

A

Substitution

Engineering

administrative

PPE

30
Q

what are the substitution methods to control asbestos hazards

A

Substitution with less hazardous materials approved under technical management of NAVSEASYSCOM

removal should be done by a shore facility

31
Q

what are the engineering methods to control asbestos hazards

A

isolation and ventilation

32
Q

A

The ship will prohibit the use of administrative controls (personnel rotation)

Keeping the exposure below the permissible exposure limit (PEL).

33
Q

what are the PPE methods to control asbestos hazards

A

Full-body, one-piece disposable coveralls with hood (TYVEK).

Medium weight rubber gloves with a thin “under glove” to absorb perspiration.

Slip resistant plastic shoe covers or heavy polyethylene shoe covers with slip resistant soles.

Safety glasses or vented goggles.

Respiratory Protection

34
Q

what is the AMSP designated for

A

ID S/S of asbestos related medical
conditions as early as possible through periodic medical evaluations.

The program also provides for ID of medical conditions which may increase the employee’s risk of impairment from asbestos exposure and for counseling of
workers on medical conditions related to asbestos exposure

35
Q

placement of personnel into the AMSP is based upon?

A

past history and/or current exposure

or potential exposure to asbestos.

36
Q

placement in AMSP is dependent upon what

38
Q

who conducts respirator fit testing

A

Respiratory protection manager

it is considered informal training

39
Q

what is the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of asbestos

A

0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air flow (f/cc) calculated as an 8 hr. time weighted average (TWA) exposure

40
Q

what is the excursion limit (EL) of asbestos

A

The EL is 1.0 f/cc averaged over a 30-minute sampling period.

41
Q

what must the a physician do in regards to notification

impairment due to exposure.

Any recommendations of limitations.

informed of the exam results and of any medical conditions resulting from exposure that require further follow-up/treatment

informed of increased risk of lung cancer due to smoking and asbestos exposure.

43

A

establish an asbestos reports file

48
Q

what happens to the supporting shore medical facility file if a ship changes homeport

A

The file will be forwarded to the new supporting shore medical activity.

49
Q

what happens to the supporting shore medical facility file if a ship is decommissioned

A

forward the asbestos record to BUMED.

50
