Renovation. A preplanning site investigation should identify
existing asbestos probabilities affecting a restoration or modernization project. In
accordance with OPNAVINST 5100.23, Navy Occupational Safety and Health
(NAVOSH) Program Manual, the Navy's objective for the Asbestos Management
Program Ashore is to eliminate personnel exposure to airborne asbestos fibers in
occupied Navy buildings and workspaces through cost effective management of
asbestos containing material (ACM). The program consists of several key
elements:
Inventory, Survey, and Material Evaluation;
Operations and Maintenance;
Design and Abatement of Hazards.
Facilities constructed before 1980 targeted for restoration work
should be given priority for completing the first two elements. For Restoration
and Modernization projects, verify the Asbestos Survey and Operation and
Maintenance (O&M) Plan during initial site investigations. Positive and assumed
ACM should be noted in the contract documents based on the potential for
disturbance. Any project scope involving removal and/or encapsulation of ACM
will incorporate the third element of the Asbestos Management Program and
comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101, Asbestos. Projects concerning asbestos
abatement should also incorporate Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS)
13281N, Engineering Controls of Asbestos Containing Materials. An indefinite
quantity unit price schedule should be included in the contract bidding schedule
to pre-price ACM removal that may not have been identified in the inventory. .
This will deter costly change orders due to hidden conditions.

identify existing surface coatings and materials (e.g., pipes, solder, etc.) that
contain lead probabilities affecting the project. A lead survey should be
developed to identify any lead containing material before beginning any
restorations or modernizations. If a lead survey is not available, consider painted
surfaces in pre-1982 facilities as lead containing.
2-13.1
Lead Based Paint. Lead-based paint is forbidden throughout all
buildings interior and exterior, including recreation equipment (for example, the
post for a basketball net.) Lead-based paint is defined as any paint containing
more that six one-hundredths of 1 per centrum (0.06 percent) lead by weight
(calculated as lead metal) in total nonvolatile content of the paint, or the
equivalent measure of lead in the dried film of paint already applied. Use UFGS
