Do workers use hygiene facilities and follow hygiene practices during asbestos removal work?

Your facility must provide hygiene facilities for use by workers. These include:

Decontamination areas and procedures: A decontamination area must be provided that is adjacent and connected to the regulated area for the decontamination of asbestos workers. The decontamination area includes, in series, an equipment room, shower area, and clean room. Workers must enter and exit the regulated area through the decontamination area while following specific procedures.

Lunch areas: The facility must provide lunch areas in which the airborne concentrations of asbestos are below the permissible exposure limits.

An inspector may check the shower drains from the worker showers to make sure they have filters. Filters help remove lead and asbestos from the wastewater.
