50-64-104. Safeguards to follow during demolition. The building or structure to be demolished which contains asbestos insulation or fireproofing must follow the following safeguards:
     (1) Whenever possible, the local fire department shall be notified of the demolition.
     (2) Signs must be posted in conspicuous locations around the building or structure being demolished warning persons to take proper precautions against exposure to asbestos fibers before entering the area.
     (3) Boilers, pipes, and steel members insulated or fireproofed with asbestos must be wetted before toppling of the wall begins. This mandatory procedure applies, where practicable, to all asbestos-lined surfaces.
     (4) When demolition by toppling is performed, a reasonable enclosure for dust emission control must be constructed.
     (5) Adequate wetting to suppress dust must be performed before and during the demolition or toppling.
     (6) Asbestos-containing debris may not be dropped or thrown from any floor and must be transported by dust-tight chutes or buckets, with the chutes or buckets sufficiently wetted to prevent dust.
     (7) During transportation of the debris, it must be thoroughly wetted before loading and must be enclosed or covered during its transport to prevent dust dispersion.
     (8) The asbestos-containing debris must be deposited at a sanitary landfill at which it is unlikely to be disturbed, and signs must be posted around the landfill warning that asbestos-containing debris is buried there.
