This publication guides you through ASTM Practice for Visual Inspection of Asbestos Abatement Projects (E 1368), in a way that maximizes your chances for passing the visual inspections by following the correct procedures throughout the abatement project or O&M task. Seven chapters cover: History and Concepts of Visual Inspection; Application to Abatement Projects; Special Considerations for Abatement Projects; Application to Operations and Maintenance; Protective Measures and Safety; Due Diligence and Litigation; and Future Trends in Visual Inspection.
Note: The manual is thorough in its treatment of the subject matter, but it is not a comprehensive discussion of the hazards of asbestos and means of controlling them. It does not take the place of training manuals for accredited asbestos courses.
