Common use of Work Preparation Clause in Contracts

Work Preparation. Proper preparation of the work area before an asbestos abatement project begins helps to contain fibers that are released within the work area. Pre-work activities include, but are not limited to the following: • Conduct Walkthrough Survey: Before work commences, ATI’s project director will conduct a walkthrough survey to inventory and photograph existing damages. We will create a photo catalog of the abatement project to document pre-job conditions. • Hold Pre-Job Briefing: All asbestos removal jobs have different problems and each require different solutions. ATI supervisors will provide a briefing to workers detailing the special conditions they will encounter on that job. The scope of work and nature of the abatement project will be based upon the results of the survey reports and/or asbestos removal specifications. • Post Warning Signs: ATI will place OSHA warning signs at each entrance to the work area. Signs will conform to regulatory standards and inform the reader that breathing asbestos dust may cause serious bodily harm. • Secure Electrical System: ATI will de-energize the electrical supply to the work area to eliminate the potential for a shock hazard. The crew will make provisions for supplying the work area with electricity from outside the work area. The source will be equipped with a ground fault interrupt system. • Shut Down HVAC System: The HVAC system supplying the work area must be shut down and isolated to prevent entrainment of asbestos dust throughout the facility. All vents and air ducts inside the work area will be covered and sealed with two layers of 6 mil polyethylene and duct tape. • Seal Remaining Items with Polyethylene: Items not being removed from the work area, will be wet-wiped or HEPA vacuumed and wrapped in place with 6 mil polyethylene and sealed with duct tape. ATI will also seal windows, flooring and walls to contain the work area. • Set-Up Work Area Ventilation System: Negative air filtration units will be set up within the containment and exhausted directly to the outside of the facility to filter the air and create a pressure differential between the containment and the outside area. At a minimum, the units will supply one air change every 15 minutes.
