Specialized items such as electronics should be <br /> cleaned by a remediator that specializes in cleaning these types of items.Not all <br /> remediation contractors have the ability or technology to clean these types of items. It is <br /> recommended that the remediator provide references to the facility manager before the <br /> contract is awarded. <br /> o Any paper content items such as files should be removed from the building. These items <br /> should be cleaned and handled in accordance with the IICRC S520. These items should <br /> not be taken to a non-contaminated building or area. In some cases,files can be copied or <br /> scanned electronically. It is recommended that these items be handled by a certified <br /> remediation contractor who has experience with this process. <br /> o Set up a zip-door at the main entry if feasible. The remediation team's access to the area <br /> typically includes decontamination and egress chambers so that the indoor air quality <br /> professional has a clean area to dress and access the building at the clearance assessment. <br /> Consult with ESG as to how to configure the containment if you are unsure. <br /> o Position sufficient air scrubbers throughout the remediation zones to remove a minimum <br /> of four air volumes per hour. The number of needed air scrubbers may vary based on the <br /> remediator's recommendations and the PRV testing strategy. Place equipment where it <br /> can move the most air and reposition as necessary. Air scrubbing equipment needs to <br /> remain in operation until the PRV assessment is complete and/or permission is granted by <br /> ESG to remove equipment.Note: the amount of air scrubbing equipment may be adjusted <br /> up or down based on airborne particle mass readings obtained during the remediation and <br /> upon ESG's approval. <br /> o Use fans, air guns or leaf blowers once every 24 hours to stir up settled dust in the <br /> corners and near the floors,walls, and ceilings of the remediated portions of the building <br /> (note: this may require the owner to remove some items). Direct dust towards the air <br /> scrubbers to be filtered out of the air. HEPA pre-filters inside the air scrubbers should be <br /> changed or cleaned daily or per the manufacturer's recommendations. <br /> o Run drying equipment as needed to bring RH below 50% and wood moisture content to <br /> 16%or lower. Air movers and dehumidifiers may be required to effectively remove the <br /> moisture from the air and building materials. <br /> PHASE I: DEMOLITION <br /> • NOTE: Any moisture issues identified in this report or uncovered during the remediation must be <br /> confirmed as having been repaired prior to the replacement of building materials. <br /> • As mentioned above, establish negative pressure of the work zones prior to beginning work and <br /> position air scrubbers where they can move the most air. <br /> • Remove any items possible from the building to a location off-site. <br /> • Place all removed building materials in the sealed plastic bags prior to removal to the outdoors for <br /> disposal. <br /> • These sealed plastic bags should be HEPA vacuumed and wiped down with an anti-microbial <br /> before they are carried through non-contaminated areas. <br /> • Contact ESG if hidden moisture damage or fungal contamination is observed or if you are unsure <br /> how any hidden contamination should be addressed. <br /> • Significantly moisture damaged or fungal damaged building materials should be removed. This is <br /> especially important.
