Adopt and implement on an on-going basis a program to properly inform all workers who are working on floor tiles and textured ceilings on the Property, as well as all tenants, maintenance staff, custodial workers, contract workers, building occupants or any other persons, of where any asbestos or potential asbestos containing material (“ACM”) is located on the Property, and why and how to avoid disturbing it.
B. Conduct regular surveillance for asbestos and ACM on the Property and to note, assess and document any changes in its condition or characteristics.

E. Adopt a procedure for cleaning up asbestos fibers after a fiber release episode.
F. Document all activities in accordance with standards generally applicable to well-run O&M Programs.
G. Adopt, implement and monitor for compliance and effectiveness medical and respiratory protection programs, as necessary.
H. Provide training programs for an asbestos program manager, as well as custodial and maintenance staff training, in accordance with customary standards and practices for well-run O&M Programs.
I. Asbestos in the form of floor tile may be permitted to remain in place, provided the integrity of the material remains intact and undisturbed. Any repairs, removal or disposal of those tiles must be performed by a licensed asbestos contractor.
EXH. B-1
J. Adopt procedures for handling ACM and asbestos in accordance with local, state, and federal governmental requirements and industry practices.
