3、sessing asbestos-containing materials.1.2 The results of a Comprehensive Building AsbestosSurvey are intended to be used for ongoing management ofasbestos-containing materials,including Operations and Main-tenance(O&M),removal,and other response actions.Thisincludes response actions associated with
4、renovations.A Com-prehensive Building Asbestos Survey is also intended toprovide information required for removal of asbestos-containing materials prior to demolition of a building orfacility.1.3 This practice discusses three types of surveys:BaselineSurveys,Project Design Surveys,and Pre-Constructi
5、on Sur-veys.1.4 This practice discusses the following activities for eachof the above types of surveys:1.4.1 Planning the survey to meet defined objectives;1.4.2 Obtaining and reviewing information on the buildingor facility including previous surveys and response actions;1.4.3 Conducting the physic
6、al activities of inspecting thepremises and collecting bulk samples of suspect materials;1.4.4 Analyzing the bulk samples for asbestos type andcontent;1.4.5 Assessing the Current Condition and Potential forDisturbance of asbestos-containing materials;and1.4.6 Preparing a report that includes a narra
