Important Information for Installers
of Resilient Floor Coverings
Concerning Existing Resilient Floor
Covering Structures
• Vinyl -asbestos tile and asphalt tile contain asbestos
fibers, as did some asphaltic "cutback" adhesives
and the backings of many sheet vinyl floorings and
lining felts. The presence of the asbestos in these
products is not readily identifiable.
• While resilient floor covering products
manufactured today do not contain asbestos, the
asbestos used in the older products was
encapsulated in the matrix of the product. The
Environmental Protection AgencMEPA) recognizes
that those products are non -friable (Le. when dry
cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to
powder by hand pressure) unless certain activities
prohibited by the removal practices in this booklet
occur.
• Unless positively certain that the product you
intend to remove is a non -asbestos containing
material, you must presume it contains asbestos.
Regulations may require that the material be tested
to determine asbestos content.
• RFCI's Recommended Work Practices are a defined
Date Signed: set of instructions addressed to the task of
removing all resilient floor covering structures
whether or not they contain asbestos. When RFCI's
Recommended Work Practices are followed,
resilient floor covering structures that contain (or
are presumed to contain) asbestos can -be removed
in a manner that will comply with the current
Occupational Exposure to Asbestos Standard's
Perrnissible Exposure Limits (PEL) issued by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA).
t
0 1997, BEST Page 16 1
Important Information for Installers (contd.)
• Numerous products, devices and techniques have
been recently introduced and/or recommended for
the removal of resilient floor covering structures.
Before you use any practices other than those
identified in this booklet for the removal of an
in -place resilient floor covering product that
contains (or is presumed to contain) asbestos, you
must determine that the practice meets all applicable
regulations or standards including the OSHA
standards for occupational exposure to asbestos and
the EPA asbestos regulations. You must also
determine that any materials used during the
removal practice will lie compatible with the new
floor covering to be installed. _
IN CANADA
The Recommended Work Practices for the
Removal of Resilient Floor Covering Materials are
intended for use in the United States. The work
practices for the removal of in -place resilient floor
coverings and associated adhesives described in
this publication have not been reviewed with
either National or Provincial officials in Canada to
determine their applicability when asbestos -
containing or assumed to be asbestos -containing
resilient floor covering materials are encountered.
These work practices are recommended when
removing resilient floor covering and its
associated adhesives that have been determined
not to be asbestos containing.
To determine what are acceptable work practices
and the associated requirements for the removal
of resilient floor covering that is assumed to
contain asbestos or has been determined to
contain asbestos, you should contact your local or
provincial officials.
As an alternative to the removal of any in -place
resilient floor covering materials, refer to page 8
(Alternative to Removal of Existing Resilient
Floor Coverings).
M
OSHA REQUIREMENTS
In August 1994, OSHA published revised asbestos
standards which affect some of the operations
described in this booklet. OSHA has determined that
"intact" resilient floor covering materials can be
removed under a "negative exposure assessment" in
compliance with the revised standards by
appropriately trained workers using the
Recommended Work Practices.
• "Intact" is defined to mean that the asbestos -
containing material has not crumbled, been
pulverized, or otherwise deteriorated so that it is
no longer likely to be bound with its matrix. The
incidental breakage of flooring materials, or slicing
of sheet vinyl floor covering with a sharp -edged
instrument, during removal operations conducted
in accordance with the Recommended Work
Practices does not mean that the materials are not
removed in an "intact" condition. OSHA has
recognized that resilient floor covering materials
are considered nonfriable if intact and generally do
not emit airborne fibers unless subjected to
sanding, sawing or other aggressive operations,
• Installers of resilient floor covering materials that
plan to use the Recommended Work Practices
outlined in this book to remove intact and non -
friable asbestos -containing flooring materials are
required to complete an 8-hour paining program.
• Employers must designate a "cOrnDetent $ rs n"
tenth 4 hours of additional training to be
responsible for the health and safety of the workers
at the floor removal job site.
• OSHA has determined that the competent person
can make a "ne tive expo% assessment„ based
upon data in the OSHA asbestos rulemaking record
(including data from the Environ Reports) showing
that use of the Recommended Work Practices
during removal of intact flooring material
consistently results in worker exposures below the
levels permitted in the OSHA standards.
OSHA REQUIREMENTS (cont'dj
• Where other workers or persons may have access
to the flooring removal worksite, the employer
must establish a demarcated "regulated area" (e.g.
using barrier tape or closing door to enclose a work
area) and post warning signs.
• Workers who engage in the removal of asbestos -
containing flooring materials for more than 30 days
per year (one hour or more per day) must receive
medical surveillance.
• Employers are required to maintain certain
training, workplace and medical records.

Dear College Station Hilton and Conference Center Contractor:
The College Station Hilton and Conference Center was built in 1984, a time when asbestos may
have been used in building materials. As you know, asbestos, if inhaled, can cause several
diseases of the lungs, stomach and other organs.
As part of our effort to provide our contractors with a safe working environment, we retained
I' an independent asbestos consultant to perform a building materials survey and identify those
materials which contain asbestos. The survey has identified the following materials as asbestos -
containing.
3
R 1. Commercial Grade Vinyl Tile Mastic
Any health risks posed by these asbestos -containing materials can be virtually eliminated if
simple precautions are taken. On page three of this notification, we have provided a list of such
common sense precautions for your general information and to guide your work activities. Full
compliance with these precautions will virtually assure the asbestos -containing materials are
maintained in safe and stable condition. /
REMOVAL OF ANY ASBESTOS -CONTAINING MATERIALS WILL BE CONDUCTED
ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WHO ARE LICENSED. OR CERTIFIED BY THE
STATE OF TEXAS TO CONDUCT SUCH WORK.
By signing this document, you acknowledge that the Owner has made available for your review
the Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Program for the building which lists locations of
asbestos -containing materials and work practices for working around those materials. You
further agree to advise your employees of the presence of asbestos -containing materials in this
building which will require adherence to specific work practices when working on or around
these materials.

GENERAL RULES FOR REMOVAL
OF RESILIENT FLOOR COVERING
When following the Recommended Work Practices
there are several general rules to follow:'
✓ Never sand, dry scrape, drill, saw, beadblast, or
mechanically chip or pulverize any resilient
flooring, backing, lining felt asphaltic "cutback"
adhesive, or other adhesive to remove them from
the floor. See "Warning Statement" on page one.
✓ Unless positively certain the product you intend to
remove is a non -asbestos containing material, you
must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations
may require that the material be tested to
determine asbestos content.
✓ Removal of existing floor covering should be
considered the last alternative.
✓ Use a vacuum equipped with HEPA filter,
disposable dust bag, and metal floor attachment
(no brush).
✓ All sheet floor removals must be done using
detergent solution.
✓ All felt scraping must be done wet.
✓ Prior to removal, all tile must be wetted (except in
cases where heat will be applied).
✓ Do not dry sweep.
✓ Material removed must be placed in heavy-duty
impermeable bags at least 6 mils thick or in a leak -
tight container, properly labeled and disposed of in
an authorized landfill.

I
ALTERNATIVES TO REMOVAL OF
EXISTING RESILIENT FLOOR
COVERINGS
Removal of the -in -place resilient floor should be
considered the final alternative. It is preferred you
leave the existing resilient floor covering in place and
go over the top (single flooring layer only) with the
new floor.
Alternatives to the removal of an existing resilient
floor over approved subfloors are:
1. Installing directly over a single layer of
approved existing resilient flooring.
2. Filling the embossing of the in -place resilient
flooring with embossing leveler before
installation (residential use only).
3. Covering existing resilient flooring on an
approved suspended wood subfloor with a
recommended wood underlayment.
When you plan to install a new resilient sheet or tile
floor covering over an existing resilient floor cover-
ing, follow the installation instructions published by
the manufacturer. Those instructions will tell you
what must be done to the existing surface before the
new resilient floor covering can be installed. Remove
wax and other finishes by wet stripping only.
Contact your local floorcovering dealer for additional
information

Dear (Employee Name):
As you may know, the Owner of the College Station Hilton and Conference Center has recently
had an Environmental Phase I Assessment performed to identify asbestos -containing materials
that may be present in the building. The survey identified the following materials as asbestos -
containing:
a. Commercial Grade Vinyl Tile Mastic
Your signature on this Employee Notification Letter acknowledges the following:
1. That the Owner has provided for your review a copy of the Asbestos Operations
and Maintenance Program for the building.
2. That you are aware of the hazards associated with asbestos and that working with
asbestos can be dangerous. Inhaling asbestos fibers has been linked with various
types of cancer and disease of the lungs, stomach and other organs. Cigarette
smoking combined with asbestos fiber exposure results in an increased risk of the
development of lung cancer.

■ Removal of Fully Adhered Resilient
Sheet Flooring
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
edsting.resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See "Warning Statement" on
page one.
a. Remove all furniture and appliances from the
work area.
b. Remove any binding strips or other restrictive
moldings from doorways, walls, etc.
c. Prepare the specified liquid dishwashing
detergent solution (16 oz. of specified liquid
dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water) and
pour into a hand sprayer.
d. Before removal begins, vacuum the entire floor
using a HEPA vacuum with a metal floor
attachment.
Electrical shock hazard exists. Use a ground
fault interrupter for any electrical connections
of equipment used in a wet environment.
e. Make a series of parallel slices 4" to 8" apart
through the top layer of the flooring and about
halfway through the backing, parallel to the wall,
for the entire floor.
Resilient flooring becomes slippery when wet
with the specified liquid dishwashing
detergent solution Use caution to contain the
solution in the immediate work area.
f. Wear layer removal:
One worker starts at the end of the room farthest
from the entrance door and pries up the comer of
the strip, separating the backing from the wear
layer. As the strip is being removed, another
worker sprays a constant mist of the specified
to liquid dishwashing detergent solution into the
delamination nip point to minimize any airbome
dust particles. When done properly, the felt
remaining on the floor and on the back of the strip
will be thoroughly wet. Do only one three -strip
area at a time. Stand on the remaining floor
covering or clean floor (to the extent feasible,
minimize standing on the felt). The sliced strips
should be peeled from the backing by pulling or
rolling around a core which will control the
stripping angle to create a uniform tension (some
resilient flooring wear layers may not be readily
strippable and may require wet -scraping). Tie or
tape the removed material securely and place in
the heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or closed
leak -tight container for disposal.
g. Remove and dispose of each succeeding strip in
the above manner. Minimize walking on the
exposed felt to the extent feasible. Worker
footwear must be cleaned or removed before
leaving work area. Close full bags tightly, and seal
securely for disposal. Identify with an appropriate
label stating, for example "Caution --Contains

Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health."
Dispose in an approved landfill only.
h. Occasionally, parts of the top or inner layer will
stick to the backing. This can often be eliminated by
peeling in the opposite direction. The stiff -bladed
scraper may aid in the removal or peeling of these
layers.
i. Wet -scraping residual felt:
(1) After three strips of flooring material are
removed, any residual felt must be wet
scraped. Thoroughly wet the residual felt with
the specified liquid dishwashing detergent
11
solution. Wait a few minutes to allow the
specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution
to soak into the felt.
(2) Stand on the remaining floor covering to the
extent feasible (not the felt) and use the stiff -
bladed scraper to scrape up the wet felt.
(3) Rewet the felt if the specified liquid
dishwashing detergent solution has not
completely penetrated, if drying occurs, or if
dry felt is exposed during scraping. Pick up
the scrapings while still wet as they are
removed from the floor and place in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or leak -tight
container. Wet -scrape all felt from this floor
area before proceeding further.
PRECAUTION:
Excessive moisture can cause permanent damage to
wood underlayments. It is the installer's responsi-
bility to use the correct amount of specified liquid
dishwashing detergent solution to prevent under-
layment damage. A floor that has been wet -scraped
must be allowed to dry before installing any new
resilient flooring.
(4) When this floor area has been cleaned free of
felt, vacuum with HEPA vacuum cleaner with
the metal floor attachment. Position the
vacuum cleaner so that the discharge air does
not blow on the area being cleaned.
(5) Repeat the above on the next series of strips.
(6) Repeat this operation until the felt has been
removed from the whole floor. Close full bags
tightly and seal securely for disposal. Identify
with an appropriate label stating, for example
"Caution —Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening
or Breaking Bag or Container. Breathing
Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health."
Dispose in an approved landfill only.
(7) When the entire floor has been removed, let it
dry and vacuum with HEPA vacuum cleaner
with the metal floor attachment. Position the
vacuum cleaner so that the discharge air does
not blow on the area being cleaned.
,(8) After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and
cleaner bags should be removed according to
the manufacturer"s instructions and placed in a
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or leak -
light container with an appropriate label
stating, for example "Caution —Contains
Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Bag or
Container. Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to
Your Health." Close and seal the trash bag
securely for disposal. Dispose in an approved
landfill only.
(9) The floor is now ready to have a new resilient
floor covering installed. Follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions.

■ Removal Procedure
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See "Warning Statement" on
page one.
a. Remove all furniture and appliances from the
work area. Remove any binding strips or other
restrictive moldings from doorways, walls, etc.
b. Before removal begins, vacuum the entire floor
using a HEPA vacuum with a metal floor
attachment.
c. Floor tiles must be wetted (misted with hand
sprayei) before actual removal begins (unless heat
will be used to remove tiles).
Electrical shock hazard exists. Use a ground
fault interrupter for any electrical connections
of equipment used in a wet environment.
d. Those areas normally exposed to heavy foot traffic
patterns usually have tiles adhered the tightest.
In starting the tile removal process, select those
areas which receive the least traffic. Try to remove
individual tiles in one piece although some
breakage of tiles is unavoidable.
e. Start the removal by carefully wedging a short or
long handled scraper in the seam of two adjoining
tiles and gradually forcing the edge of one of the
tiles up and away from the floor. Continue to force
the balance of the the up by working the scraper
beneath the the and exerting both a forward
pressure and a twisting action on the blade to
promote release of the tile from the adhesive and
the floor.
f. After the tiles are removed place them, without
further breakage into smaller pieces, in a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or closed leak -tight
container which will be used for disposal.
Removed tiles can be placed in empty tile cartons
first and then placed in the heavy-duty
impermeable trash bag. To prevent tearing of the
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag, place only
one full carton of removed tile in a bag.
g. With the removal of the first tile, accessibility of
other tiles is improved. Force the scraper under the
exposed edge of another tile, and continue to exert a
prying, twisting force to the scraper as it is moved
under the tile until the tile releases from the floor.
Remove and dispose of each tile in the manner
described in steps e. and f. above.
h. Minimize walking on the exposed adhesive to the
extent feasible. Worker footwear must be. cleaned_
or removed before leaving work area. Close full
bags tightly and seal securely for disposal. Identify
with an appropriate label stating, for example
"Caution —Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or
Breaking Container. Breathing Asbestos is
Hazardous to Your Health" Dispose in an
approved landfill only.
i. Some tiles will release quite easily while others
require varying degrees of force. Where the
adhesive is spread heavily or the tile is bonded
tightly, it may prove easier to force the scraper
under the tightly adhered areas by striking the
scraper handle with a hammer, using blows of
moderate force while maintaining the scraper at a
25' to 30' angle to the floor.

j. If you encounter areas where even the above
methods will not remove the tiles, the removal
procedure can be simplified by thoroughly
heating the tiles with a hot air gun or a radiant
heat source until the heat penetrates through the
the and softens the adhesive.
k. Alternatively, without fast prying up floor tiles
using a scraper, a heat source like a hot air gun or
infrared heat machine can be used to apply heat to
the floor tile and then the tiles may be removed by
hand or by using a scraper. (Wetting the tiles is not
required for this alternative removal method).
When using this procedure, walking on exposed
adhesive may be unavoidable. Worker footwear
must be cleaned or removed before leaving the
work area.
Handle the hot-air gun or radiant heat source
carefully to avoid bum injury. Do not handle
the heated tiles or adhesive without suitable
glove protection. Do not use a blowtorch or
open flame. Use caution not to bum or char
tiles. Work area must be adequately
.ventilated.
I. When usingan infrared heat machine follow
,
manufac
turer's
s instructions.
m. After tiles are removed, place them in a heavy duty
impermeable trash bag or other closed leak -tight
container without further breakage. Removed tiles
can be placed in empty tile cartons first and then
placed in the heavy duty impermeable trash bags.
To prevent tearing of the heavy-duty impermeable
trash bag, place only one full carton of removed tile
in a bag.
n. Close the full bags of removed tile tightly and seal
securely for disposable. Identify with an
appropriate label stating, for example "Caution —

REMOVAL OF RESIDUAL
ADHESIVE
The removal of latex based adhesives commonly
used with vinyl sheet floors and some tiles can be
accomplished by wetting the adhesive residue (which
will soften the adhesive) and scraping. Do not use an
excessive amount of water which can damage wood
subfloors.
The treatment of residual asphaltic "cutback"
adhesive, which is covered in this section, is
dependent upon the type of new resilient floor
covering material to be installed and the type of
subfloor. Recommendations for the treatment of
residual asphaltic "cutback" adhesive are shown at
pages 22 and 23.
NOTE
There are commercial adhesive removal products
containing solvents that are effective in removing cut-
back or emulsion adhesives and comply with OSHA
requirements (e.g. flashpoint greater than 140° F).
These products maybe used for adhesive removals;
however; they may leave a solvent residue within the
subfloor that can adversely affect the new adhesive or
floor covering. Thus, the warranties provided by the
manufacturers of new floor covering materials will
not cover instances where subfloor conditions damage
their products or affect their installation.
The use of asbestos encapsulants or bridging
materials over asphaltic adhesive is not recommended
as those products may affect the bonding properties
of the new adhesive. The application of asphaltic
"cutback" adhesives, if recommended by the
replacement flooring manufacturer; has been
demonstrated to be a suitable adhesive when
applied over existing cutback adhesive. The use of
any new adhesive must be consistent with the
installation reco;nmendations of the replacement
flooring manufacturer

4. Work Practices: O&M work practices to avoid or minimize fiber release during
activities affecting ACM will be identified.
5. Recordkeeping: O&M activities will be documented and maintained in a central location.
All asbestos management documents (i.e., inspection and assessment reports, O&M
Program plan, work practices and procedures, work permits, reinspection reports, etc.)
will be stored in permanent files.
Worker records, if applicable, such as personal air sampling results, medical records
etc., will be retained for at least 30 years. Employee training records will be maintained
for at least one year beyond the last date of each worker's employment.
Specific rcordkeeping strategies will be discussed with legal counsel. Recordkeeping
is the responsibility of the Asbestos Program Manager (APM).
6 • Worker Protection: Medical and respiratory protection programs will be instituted as
applicable. The programs will be in accordance with those described in 29 CFR 1926.58
and 29 CFR 1910.134.
7. Training: The APM, the maintenance and custodial staff who will be conducting routine
maintenance activities on the commercial grade vinyl tile mastic will meet the training
required in AHERA for such personnel. The minimum level of training will be a two
hour General Awareness Training Program for'Asbestos. At a minimum, the topics to
be included will be:
• Background information on asbestos.
• Health effects of asbestos.
• Worker protection programs.
• Locations of ACM in the Facility.
• Recognition of ACM damage and deterioration
• The O&M Program for the Facility.
Proper response to fiber release episodes.
• Identification of (and how to contact) the APM.

0&M Program Implementation
The O&M Program will be implemented by the APM with the support of the building owner.
An implementation checklist is included in the Appendix.
Response Action Selection
Response actions will be determined by the APM on a case -by -case basis. The response
alternatives are repair, enclosure, encapsulation, encasement, and removal. Each response
alternative, except removal, also requires inclusion of the material in the O&M Program.
Removal of the ACM prior to renovation or demolition will be conducted in accordance with
the U.S. EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR
61 Subpart M) and the OSHA Construction Industry Asbestos Standard (29 CFR 1926.58).
Additionally, all response actions will be in accordance with the applicable local, State of Texas,
and federal laws, rules and regulations. -
To achieve the Program's objectives, the 0&M Program includes the following seven elements:
1. Notification: If required by Local, State, or Federal regulations, building occupants,
maintenance and custodial personnel, as well as service trades contractors, will be
notified of the location of the ACM, and how and why to avoid disturbing it. This
notification will be by written notice. If conditions warrant, signs or labels will be
posted and\or awareness or information session(s) will be held.
2. Surveillance: Regular ACM surveillance will be conducted to note, assess, and document
any changes in the condition of the ACM. The surveillance will include reinspection
(visual and physical) to note the ACM's current condition and physical characteristics.
Air monitoring may be considered as a supplement to the surveillance activities. When
air monitoring is conducted, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) will be the
preferred method of analysis for the collected air samples. Analysis will be conducted
by a laboratory accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI),
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for TEM asbestos
analysis, and who follow EPA's quality assurance guidelines. (Appendix H. U.S. EPA,
Dec. 1989, "Transmission Electron Microscopy Asbestos Laboratories: Quality
Assurance Guidelines. ")
3. Controls: A work permit system to control activities which may disturb the ACM will
be instituted. The system will require a written form which gives, at a minimum, the
time and location of the requested work, the type of maintenance needed, available
information about any ACM in the vicinity of the requested work, the identification of
the person(s) authorized to do the work, and the signature of the APM.

■ Wet -Scraping Residual Adhesive
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See "Warning Statement" on
page one.
If new resilient floor tile is to be installed over a
concrete subfloor using an asphaltic adhesive, the
residual asphaltic "cutback" adhesive must be left so
that no ridges or puddles are evident and what
remains is a thin, smooth film. This can be
accomplished by wet -scraping the residual adhesive.
Wet -scraping residual asphaltic "cutback"
adhesive:
(1) Moisten an area with water mixed with the
specified liquid dishwashing detergent (1 oz.
specified liquid dishwashing detergent to one
gallon of water) to aid in wetting the adhesive.
Make sure that the area stays moist. Wet -scrape
with a stiff -bladed wall or floor scraper
removing ridges and any loose adhesive. Make
sure the adhesive is kept wet.
(2) Place loosened adhesive residues into a heavy-
duty impermeable trash bag or leak -tight
container with an appropriate label stating, for
example "Caution --Contains Asbestos. Avoid
Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing
Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health" Close
and seal the trash bag securely for disposal.
Dispose in an approved landfill only.
(3) Wet vacuum standing water with the HEPA
vacuum cleaner.
(4) Continue steps (1) through (3) until what
remains of the residual asphaltic "cutback"
adhesive is a thin, smooth film.
(5.) Clean the entire floor with the HEPA vacuum
cleaner using the metal floor attachment.
(Q. After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and
cleaner bags should be removed according to
manufacturer's instructions and placed in a
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or leak -
tight container with an appropriate label
stating, for example "Caution ---Contains
Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container.
Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health."
Close and seal the trash bags or containers securely
for disposal. Dispose in an approved landfill only.
Complete Removal of Asphaltic
"Cutback" Adhesive
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,

existing resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See "Warning Statement' on
page one.
REMOVAL METHOD #1
a. Start in comer of the room farthest from the
entrance door. Apply the removal solution (e g.
"mop on, mop off, no machine scrub," stripping
solution) by using a hand sprayer or mop over an
area of residual adhesive so that the adhesive in
this area always remains wet during it's removal.
Allow the area to soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove
the adhesive using a floor machine equipped with
a 3M black floor pad (or equivalent), ensuring that
the floor is kept wet in the area where the machine
is operating.
Electrical shock hazard exists. Use a ground
fault circuit interrupter for any electrical
connections of equipment used in a wet
environment.

Asbestos Health Risks
Asbestos is the name for a group of naturally occurring minerals that can be separated into very
fine, strong fibers, The individual fibers cannot be seen with the unaided eye and can only be
identified by detailed microscopic analysis. Asbestos fibers are heat resistant, very durable, and
chemically inert. These qualities have made asbestos a very useful construction material.
Between 1900 and 1980, approximately 30 million tons of asbestos were utilized in the United
States, primarily in building construction materials.
Microscopic asbestos fibers, because of their size and shape, can remain suspended in the air
for extended time periods when disturbed. When inhaled, these fibers can penetrate body tissues
and remain for many years. Once inside the body, asbestos fibers can cause several diseases,
including the following:
1. Asbestosis is a disease which occurs when asbestos fibers are inhaled and embed
themselves in the living surface of the lungs. These fibers cause the tissue to form
fibrous scar -like growths which spread progressively and impair the oxygen transfer
capability of the lungs.
2. Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer which occurs in the lining of the lung or the
abdomen. Its presence is often considered an indicator of exposure to asbestos. There
is no known treatment for mesothelioma.
3. Other cancer of the lungs, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and other organs and systems
are also suspected to be caused by exposure to asbestos fibers.
Implementation of proper control measures when working around or near asbestos will greatly
reduce the risk of asbestos -related disease. The training program for maintenance and custodial
workers should address the above health risks.

adhesive. See "Warning Statement' on
page one.
a. Remove all furniture and appliances from the
work area.
b. Remove any binding strips or other restrictive
moldings from doorways, walls, etc.
c. Prepare the specified liquid dishwashing
detergent solution (16 oz. of specified liquid
dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water) and
pour into a hand sprayer.
d. Before removal begins, vacuum the entire floor

ent
Electrical shock hazard exists. Use a ground
fault interrupter for any electrical connections
of equipment used in a wet environment
e. Starting at the doorway or a floor ventilation vent,
locate a joint in an underlayment board.
f. Slice a strip of flooring 4 to 8 inches wide centered
over the underlayment joint in the panel to be
removed. Slice through the top and inner layers
of flooring and about halfway through the
backing. Continue this procedure for all
underlayment joints over the entire floor.
Resilient flooring becomes slippery when wet
with specified liquid dishwashing detergent
solution. Use caution to contain the solution
in the immediate work area.
g. One worker pries up the corner of a strip,
separating the backing from the wear layer, As the
strip is being removed, another worker sprays a
constant mist of the specified liquid dishwashing
detergent solution into the delamination nip point
to minimize ariy airborne dust particles. When
done properly, the felt remaining on the floor and
on the back of the strip will be thoroughly wet.
Stand on the remaining floor covering or clean
floor (do not stand on the felt). The sliced strips
should be peeled from the backing by pulling or
rolling around a core which will control the
stripping angle to create a uniform tension (some
resilient flooring wear layers may not be readily
strippable and may require wet -scraping). Tie or
tape the removed material securely and place in a
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or closed leak -
tight container for disposal.
h. Remove and dispose of each succeeding strip in
the above manner. hZinimize walking on the
exposed felt to the extent feasible. Worker
footwear must be cleaned or removed before
leaving work area. Close full bags tightly, and seal
securely for disposal. Identify with an appropriate
label stating, for example "Caution --Contains
Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container.

Dispose in an approved landfill only.
i. Occasionally, parts of the top or inner layer will
stick to the backing. This can often by eliminated
by Peeling in the opposite direction. The stiff -
bladed scraper may aid in the removal or peeling
of these layers.
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblask or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See "Warning Statement" on

Guidance Document
For An
Asbestos Operations And Maintenance Program
Forward
This Document is provided to assist owner/owner's designee, herein called Client, in the
development of an Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Program for the College Station Hilton
and Conference Center, herein called the Facility, located at 801 University Drive East, College
Station, Texas.
The purpose of an Operations and Maintenance Program is to protect occupants, employees,
contractors, and other persons who may be present in the Facility from avoidable asbestos
exposure. The success of such a program is dependent on proper implementation of its
requirements.
Building Evaluation Services and Technology Inc. (BEST), as the originator of this guidance
document, maintains no liability for either the implementation of the requirements identified
herein, or for any additional requirements added by other parties as an expansion of this
document. Building Evaluation Services and Technology Inc., maintains no liability for any
inability of Client, or any designee(s) of Client, to properly implement an Asbestos Operations
and Maintenance Program. In addition, Building Evaluation Services and Technology Inc., is
not responsible for. assuring that this document is updated to conform to future governmental
regulations and/or guidelines.
Samples collected in this survey have been analyzed in accordance with either Appendix A to
Subpart F, 40 CFR part 763 section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), or Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM). Both methods provide the area percent of asbestos by visual estimation.
Considering this, please be aware that 40 CFR Part 61, National Emissions Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants; Asbestos NESHAP Revision: Final Rule, as published in the Federal
Register on November 20, 1990, included the following information.
Point counting is not required for the PLM procedure. However, if the asbestos content
of friable asbestos material is estimated to be less than 10 percent_by a method other than
point counting, EPA requires that the determination be verified by the point counting
technique with PLM prior to renovation or demolition activities which would disturb the
material.
Thus, when renovation or demolition activities are planned, the friable materials collected in this
survey which were determined to have less than 10 % asbestos must be reanalyzed by the point
31 counting technique.

■ Removal of Wood Underlayment Boards
Do not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,
beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize
existing resilient flooring, backing, lining
felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other
adhesive. See 'Warning Statement" on
page one.
a. After all felt from sheet flooring has been wet -
scraped or tiles removed from the underlayment
joints, drive a chisel, using a hammer or mallet,
between the underlayment board and the subfloor.
Use the chisel to pry up the underlayment enough
to insert a pry bar and remove the chisel. Slowly
and carefully use pry bars to pry up the
underlayment-board a little at a time until the
board is completely loose and can be removed.
b. Caution must be used to avoid breaking the
underlayment board. The underlayment board
should be removed in one piece. If the
underlayment board breaks, slice through the sheet
resilient flooring at the break and spray any
exposed felt with the specified liquid dishwashing
detergent solution. Allow the specified liquid
dishwashing detergent solution to penetrate for a
few minutes, then continue lifting the broken
underlayment In the case of a broken underlay-
ment board with file adhered, wet (mist) the
broken the and carefully remove any loose pieces.
c. Wear heavy gloves and be careful of wood
splinters and fasteners sticking out of the back of .
the underlayment Each underlayment board (or
piece of board) should be removed from the work
area as soon as it has been pried up to avoid
injuries (such as "stepping on a nail). Fasteners
protruding from removed board should be
flattened with a hammer. Place removed
underlayment boards on skids with the nails
pointing downward. Wrap skid with 6-mil
polyethylene plastic sheeting and secure with duct
tape. Identify with an appropriate label stating, for
example "Caution --Contains Asbestos. Avoid
Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing
Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health" Dispose in
an approved landfill only.
d. If the underlayment panel extends under cabinets
or wall partitions, it will be necessary to slice
through the flooring with a knife as close to the
vertical surface as possible. Deeply score the
panel. This should allow for removal.
e. After each panel has been removed, pull out any
nails or fasteners still in the subfloor.
f. A chisel is not needed to start the removal of
boards after the fast board has been removed. -
Simply work the pry bar under the exposed edge
of the next board.
g. When removal of the underlayment under the
existing floor is complete, thoroughly check the
exposed subfloor. Renail loose areas and reset any
"popped" nails or fasteners.
h. Vacuum up any residue using the HEPA vacuum
cleaner with the metal floor attachment.
L After vacuuming, used HEPA filters and cleaner
bags should be removed according to the
manufacturer's instructions and placed in a
heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or leak -tight
container with an appropriate label stating; for
example "Caution --Contains Asbestos. Avoid
Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing
Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health." Close and
seal the trash bag or container securely for
disposal. Dispose in an approved landfill only.
j. Prepare the subfloor by installing new
underlayment and or floor covering according to
the manufacturer's installation instructions.
