suspected asbestos-containing materials requires an appreciation of  the
interdependence of the various elements of the overall process.  The
importance of random sampling, appropriate chemical analytical  techni-
ques, selection of a laboratory to do the bulk sample analyses, and  an

     The first element in the program is to identify an asbestos analy-
tical program coordinator to be responsible for overseeing the  entire
asbestos program.  In particular, the coordinator is responsible for
supervising the sampling of suspected asbestos-containing materials,
selecting laboratories to analyze the bulk samples for asbestos content,
ncnitcring the laboratories' performance throughout the analysis period,
and  preparing a summary report.  If possible, someone vith 3. technical

vides a h^gn chance of detecting  asoestos  in  bulk materials,  if present.
Jor example, if a Sampling Area has  5"  or  nore  asbestos  cor.tan.c,  taking
at least three sanples would give greater  than  a  90"  chance of detecting
the presence of asbestos.  (The assumptions underlying  this statement
are described in detail, in a Statistical Background Document,  {2} .
These assumptions are based on data  r^.de available to Z?A by the  Bureau
cf Mines and the Barteile-Coluzous Laboratories.)   To achieve  greatsr
than 9CT, assuredness, the number  of  samples taken in  each sampling  area
would have  to be increased.
view of the healer, and economic  implications,  accurate  determnation of
the presence or absence of asbestos  is  critical.
     The set hod of choice for the determination  of  asbestos  in suspect
materials is pclariced light microscopy (?I_M)  vith  or without  dispersion
staining (DS) , and vith X-ray diffraction  (ICED)  as  necessary to supple-

unique optical crystallographic properties  of  the  sample.   These proper-
ties uniquely identify the individual  asbestos  types:   chrysotile,  acti-
nolita, amosite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and  tremoiite.   These  crys-

tute of Occupational Safety  and  Health for use in cccupati.on.al  settings

used to count fibers basec solely on their shape and sice and does  not

was visually  inspected  for  friable materials.  Five classrooms  in  an
annex were  f curie to  contain  suspect ceiling nacena_s.  All  the natena
were Deleaved to be  trie sane and thus comprise one Sampling  Area ^SA, .
     Approximate room dimensions wars obtained with a  rape measure and
diagramed  as snown  in  Figure I.-.  Pertinent, inf crtiatior.  such  as  dan^ag
nan—fria.bla and inaccessible nateria_ls vas diagrantned  and  labelled.
     The total area  of  friable  materials in trie five classrooms deter-
nmes the nuz:ber of  samples  tc  be taken frci: the 5.-..   The  example  SA is
10,080 square feet,  as  calculated b~
                     -  10,030  square feet.

Since this area  is  greater  tnan 5,000 square feet, seven  ssnpies  are re-
     The base and  hiegnt  of  the SA were recorded or. the SILICTICN  OF

2.5.  The example  SA1s  Dase  is  132'  (Note:  3-digit number)  and height
is 90' (^ote:   2-cisit  number).   The seven sanvole locations  vere cnosen
nuzibars vere crossed  off  as  they are. greater than 132:  632,  "15,  993,
671, 74i, and 511.  Then  the digits 021 vera circled ana used  in  the
first random nunber pair  since the nunber 21 is between 0 and  132.
     To find the  second random number of this pair, 2-digit numbers were
considered.  The  digits 51  were circled since 51 is between 0  anc  90.
The first random  nunber pair (21,51)  was recorded on the SELECTION  OF
SAMPLE LOCATIONS  WOHI-CSHEET.   (Keep in tiinc the nunber of rancor: cigits
is the sane as  the nunber of digits in each dimension.)  This  procedure
was repeated until seven  pairs of random numbers were selected.

      analysis of the sanple.
