OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUALS

An Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M) is a set of specific procedures and practices to control asbestos applied to building cleaning, maintenance, and general operations. The O&M Plan can be made for either short term control measures until the asbestos removal is completed or a long term program that remains in effect until all asbestos containing materials are removed from the facility. The associated risks can be reduced through an O&M Plan, which identifies, give priorities, addresses, and effectively monitors existing and potential hazards. The elements of a typical plan are:

• Identify, document, and rank existing hazards
• Recommend immediate actions to address high priority situations
• Periodically provide physical assessment on buildings
• Train appropriate personnel
• Work with the owner and maintenance organization to ensure safety
• Train to see that OSHA guidelines are met
• Maintain accurate and complete records
• Assist in developing a strategy for planned, budgeted removal over time
