What is the federal OSHA regulation that regulates asbestos exposure for construction?
- Correct Answer - 29 CFR 1926.1101

what materials are PACM? - Correct Answer - TSI, surfacing material, vinyl, asphalt, in pre 1981 buildings also any other materials that the building owner knows or should know contain ACM.
What is a Category 1 non-friable, and Category 2 Non-Friable Via NESHAP? - Correct Answer - non friable materials including packing, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and 1 / 3

What are the basic fit-test methods? - Correct Answer - Qualitative Fit-Test: yes/no test - -standard lists irritant smoke, banana oil, saccharin, and BitrexTM . (Irritant smoke is no longer recommended; consider using BitrexTM , a taste aversion agent.) Quantitative Fit-Test: quantifies effectiveness--uses room air dust for Porta count or a generated aerosol (sometimes known as DOP) for other equipment.
Which respirators must be fit-tested according to the asbestos standard and by which fit-test method (qualitative or quantitative)? - Correct Answer - All tight-fitting respirators must be fit-tested at the initial fitting and at least annually thereafter. A full-face air- purifying mask has an assigned PF of 10 if it is qualitatively tested and a PF of 50 only if it is quantitatively tested. Air purifying half-face masks may be fit-tested using either method but will always have a maximum assigned PF of 10 times the PEL. Test PAPRs and positive pressure respirators in the negative pressure mode. Use either fit-test method. They maintain their OSHA assigned PF regardless of which method you use.
Describe at least four components of a respiratory protection program. - Correct Answer
- Written procedures, respirator selection criteria, medical surveillance, fit-testing
(quantitative and qualitative), training, inspection, maintenance, storage, cleaning, etc.(While there is no requirement for a written "test," many employers feel it appropriate to make workers demonstrate they have learned the information.)
What factor most limits the degree of protection provided by a respirator? - Correct Answer - The fit of the face piece on the individual's face most determines the effectiveness of the respirator. Generally, the more surface area covered, the better the fit. That is why a full-face respirator offers more protection than a half-face respirator.Remember that you can't wear a tight-fitting respirator if you have a beard.
