PACM Sample Clauses

PACM. PACM consists of certain construction materials located in buildings constructed prior to 1981. This building was not constructed prior to 1981. Because of the presence of ACM in the building, we are providing you with the following warning, which is commonly known as a California Proposition 65 warning: In addition, you should be aware that there are certain potential health risks that may result from exposure to asbestos. Because we are not physicians, scientists or industrial hygienists, we have no special knowledge of the health impact of exposure to asbestos. However, we hired an environmental consulting firm to prepare an asbestos Operations and Maintenance Plan (“O&M Plan”) to address asbestos matters at the building. The O&M Plan is designed to minimize the potential for a release of asbestos fibers and outlines a schedule of actions to be undertaken with respect to asbestos. A copy of the written O&M Plan is located in our Building Management Office and, upon your request, will be made available for you to review and copy during regular business hours. In general, the written O&M Plan describes the risks associated with asbestos exposure and how to prevent such exposure The O&M Plan describes those risks as follows: asbestos is not a significant health concern unless asbestos fibers are released and inhaled. If inhaled, asbestos fibers can accumulate in the lungs and, as exposure increases, the risk of disease (such as asbestosis and cancer) increases. However, measures to minimize exposure and consequently minimize the accumulation of fibers, reduces the risk of adverse health effects. The O&M Plan is designed to safely manage the ACM and PACM in the building and to avoid the inadvertent disturbance of such ACM or PACM. To that end, the O&M Plan provides for the training of building housekeeping and maintenance personnel so that they can conduct their work without causing a release or asbestos fibers. As part of the O&M Plan, we maintain records of all asbestos-related activities and the results of any asbestos survey, sampling or monitoring conducted in the building. The written O&M Plan describes a number of activities which should be avoided in order to prevent a release of asbestos fibers in the building. In particular, you should be aware that some of the activities which may present a health risk by causing an airborne release of asbestos fibers include moving, drilling, boring or otherwise disturbing ACM or PACM. Consequently, such activit...
