TDSHS Asbestos Inspector Exam |Questionswith 100% Correct Answers
Define Encapsulation - ✔️✔️the treatment of ACBM w/a material that surrounds or embeds the
asbestos fibers in an adhesive mix to prevent the release of fibers
define enclosure - ✔️✔️construction of an air tight, impermeable, permanent barrier, around
ACBM to control the release of asbestos fibers into the air
define deterioration - ✔️✔️ACBM may deteriorate with age as a result of either poor quality of
installation or environmental factors/influences (ie heat, humidity, other atmospheric
contaminants)
define friability - ✔️✔️materials which are more likely to release fibers, if disturbed
functions of the management plan - ✔️✔️inspection, establishing of priorities, scheduling of
abatement activities, documentation of decision-making & operational activities, coordination
of personnel, & evaluation of results (also reporting documents to the State)
accessibility to the ACBM - ✔️✔️any material that can be reached by bldg
occupants/custodian/maintenance, either directly or with equipment or other objects; close to
heating, ventilation, lighting, plumbing systems requiring periodic repair/maintenance
operations & maintenance (O&M) program - ✔️✔️a program of training, work practices, &
periodic surveillance to maintain friable ACBM in good condition, insure clean-up of asbestos
fibers previously released, and prevent further release by minimizing & controlling friable
ACBM disturbance or damage
define HEPA - ✔️✔️high efficiency particulate air
,describe respiratory protection - ✔️✔️primary means by which the inspector can defend himself
against the hazards of asbestos (99.97% effective)
class III classification of asbestos work - ✔️✔️repair & maintenance operations which may
involve intentional disturbance of ACM/PACM is limited to incidental cutting away of small
amounts (less than 1 waste bag) of ACM/PACM
5 alternatives of control responses - ✔️✔️1. immediate isolation of the area & removal of the
ACM ASAP
2. continue operation & maintenance of the area (do not isolate the area) but remove the ACM
ASAP
3. Repair the thermal insulation or remove surfacing material when practical
4. Reduce disturbance potential by enclosure or encapsulation of ACM
5. continue O&M until reno/demo of the bldg
homogeneous sampling area - ✔️✔️an area of surfacing material, thermal insulation material or
miscellaneous material that is uniform in texture or color
per AHERA, 4 general classes of assessment models to consider during rule making period -

stratification
id rules for collected samples (EPA) - ✔️✔️unique id#, nonsequential id#, sampling log of id#s by

ACM identification categories - ✔️✔️assumed ACM - unsampled, suspected ACM; known ACM -
positively identified, sample analysis
define PAPR - ✔️✔️powered air purifying respirator
, OSHA specified protection factor - ✔️✔️1/2 face apr, 10x cleaner, 1.0 fiber/cc of air
full face apr, 50x cleaner, 5.0 fiber/cc of air
full face papr, 1000x cleaner, 100.0 fiber/cc of air
air erosion disturbance factor - ✔️✔️movement of an air stream may erode ACBM surface
causing fibers to be released. can happen in air plenum, an or or elevator shaft, or down stream
from a vent or register
table of contents for a management plan - ✔️✔️Inspection Review; Hazard Assessment;
Response Action; Cost Estimation & Contractor Selection; Operations & Maintenance Plan;
Management Plan Schedule; Appendix
PLM - ✔️✔️Polarized Light Microscopy
methods to follow to assess the condition of the ACM & Potential exposure - ✔️✔️air monitoring
& physical inspection
define pleural disease - ✔️✔️thickening or scarring of the pleural tissues which normally have no
symptoms but are indicators of asbestos exposure
classifications for condition of ACM - ✔️✔️significant damage, damaged, good condition
define friable asbestos - ✔️✔️insulating materials, performed thermal insulating products (pipe
covering), and textiles (cloth, blankets, tubing, curtains)
define nonfriable asbestos - ✔️✔️extrusions, panels, corrugated board, shingles, caulking putties,
joint compounds, electrical equipment, floor covering (vinyl or asphalt tile), vinyl wallpaper,
roof coating
