Q

How often are medical exams required

24
Q

When must workers have medical evaluations

Study These Flashcards
A

Required whenever worker is issued a negative-pressure respirator

25
When are medical exams required
whenever work is at or above the 8 hour TWA limit or the Excursion limit for more than 30 days in a year
26
What is the 8 hour TWA
0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter. means that 0.1 f/cc is the highest average number of fibers in the air which OSHA law allows a worker to be exposed to over an 8 hour time period.
27
What is the excursion limit
1.0 fiber per cubic centimeter in 30 minutes. Protects from a large amount of exposure in a short period of time.
28
How many parts are there to a yearly asbestos medical exams?
3.Questionnaire, Pulmonary Function Test, General Exam. Could include but not required: chest x-ray, EKG
29
What does the first yearly exam establish
a baseline
30
Medical Records
Employer must give you a copy within 30 days, must keep records for 30 years after you leave the job
31
What is a respirator
A mask that filters the air in the room or supplies clean air from outside the room
32
List the respirators
R100 - resistant to oil N100 - Not resistant to oil P100 - oil proof Magenta filter - stacked
33
What are the 4 things that you need to know to choose a respirator
The amount of asbestos in the air The Permissible Excursion Limit The Assigned Protection Factor The Maximum Use Concentration
34
what is PEL
Permissible excursion limit: the amount of asbestos in the air that OSHA allows you to be exposed to. There are 2: 8 hour TWA and the Excursion Limit (EL)
35
What is APF
assigned protection factor: the degree of protection a respirator
36
MUC
maximum use concentration - the largest amount of asbestos in the air of the work place that a respirator is good for
37
What is the formula for MUC
Maximum Use Concentration = TWA x Assigned Protection Factor
38
Respirator below 1 fiber/cc
1/2 mask
39
Respirator above 1 fiber/cc
need one with a higher APF
40
1/2 mask APF
APF 10. If there are 10 f/cc in the air, there is 1 f/cc in the mask
41
Full face air purifying or PAPR with half mask APF
APF 50.
42
PAPR continuous flow or pressure demand supplied air with full face
APF 1000
43
what is CL
Clearance level: when the area is clean 0.01 or 1/100 f/cc
44
What is a negative pressure respirator
When you breathe in it makes a suction
45
Respirator bill of rights
Must assign one person to be in charge of the respirator protection program Must have written procedures for choosing and using respirators Employer must check the whole respiratory protection program regularly Employer must provide medical evals Must have you trained about respirators Must provide NIOSH approved respirators
46
What are the control methods
Encapsulation Enclosure Removal Repair O&M
47
AHERA
regulates all asbestos response control methods in public or private, elementary or secondary schools. K-12
48
MNOSHA
regulates all worker exposure to asbestos
49
Class I Asbestos Work
Any work to do with the removal of asbestos containing TSI and sprayed or troweled on SM
50
Class II Asbestos Work
Any work to do with the removal of asbestos material which is NOT TSI or SM. Floor tiles, roofing, shingles, siding, etc
51
Class III
Repair and maintenance operations, includes encapsulation
52
MPCA
MN Pollution Control Agency, regulates the removal, transportation, and disposal of asbestos when the amount of RACM to be removed is at least 260 linear feet on pipes, 160 sq feet on other facility components, or if the linear or square footage cannot be measured, 35 cubic feet
53
RACM
is greater than 1%, friable, non-friable which has become friable, non-friable made friable through sanding, grinding, etc. non-friable becomes friable through demo
54
Facility
Can be institutional, commercial, industrial, can be residential with 4 or more dwellings
55
Roofing membranes
5580 sq feet, equivalent to 160 sq. feet
