Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(5): Class I asbestos work is not performed using one or more of the control methods required by 29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(5)(i) through (g)(5)(vi): (a) First Capital Insulation, Incorporated - Site: 1900 North 2nd Street, Harrisburg, PA - One instance of the employer's ongoing failure to comply with this standard occurred on or about October 21 and 22, 2014 when the negative pressure enclosure was not properly established because it did not have a three stage decontamination, it was not smoke-tested, and it did not have a manometer. In addition, the glove bags were used as standard garbage bags; they were not wrapped around the pipes prior to removing the asbestos insulation and the asbestos was not wetted until it was in the bag. Consequently, the employer did not use one of the required control methods while performing the Class I asbestos removal work. Abatement certification and documentation of this specific instance required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement of this specific instance is complete, the date and method of abatement, and state that employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement. Abatement documentation shall include documents demonstrating that abatement of this specific instance is complete, such as evidence of the purchase of equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement or other written records.
