Handling and Disposal of Asbestos-Containing Waste

摘要

The potential health hazards to personnel from exposure to airborne asbestos fiber and the wide variety of asbestos-containing products used at Navy facilities prompted the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to task the Civil Engineering Laboratory to develop guidance on appropriate practices for handling and disposal of asbestos-containing products. Two categories of asbestos-containing construction materials have been identified as potential asbestos-fiber-releasing threats: (1) friable insulating products and woven products and (2) nonfriable matrix-bonded composite products. This document defines the hazard and safe asbestos-containing product handling and disposal practices for Category I and Category II products. (Author)
