1、8-27SSPC-QP 4May 1, 1997Editorial Revisions November 1, 20041. Scope1.1 This standard establishes a procedure for evaluating the qualifi cations of contractors whose work involves distur-bance of hazardous coatings (e.g., containing lead or other hazardous metals) incidental to demolition or repair

2、work on complex or conventional structures. 1.2 This standard establishes two qualifi cation categories for contractors disturbing and containing hazardous paint. The specifying agency shall designate the required qualifi cation category for the contractor based on the type and level of containment

3、and ventilation required.1.3 This standard procedure also establishes minimum requirements for worker health and safety programs and environmental protection programs utilized by the contractor who disturbs hazardous coatings incidental to demolition or repair work.1.4 Contractors qualifi ed under S

4、SPC-QP 2 already meet the requirements of this standard procedure.2. Description2.1 DEFINITIONSCompetent Person: One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or work-ing conditions that are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, the public, and th

5、e environment, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. OSHA requires a competent person on-site during exposure-producing operations.Complex Structure: Complex structures are those constructed of steel or concrete, such as metal producing and rolling mills, br

6、idges, and processing facilities, including chemical and petrochemical processing plants, pulp and paper mills, power plants and substations, and food and beverage plants and terminals. Contractor: A fi rm that performs general construction (i.e., demolition and repair work) in the industrial and co

7、m-mercial markets.Conventional Structures: Structures such as light manu-facturing plants; miscellaneous and ornamental iron work; sign structures; storage tanks; low rise, truss, beam, and column structures. Simple rolled beam bridges may also be covered by the requirements of this standard procedu

8、re.Evaluating Authority: A facility owner or authority des-ignated by the facility owner to review contractor submittals, conduct on-site evaluations and report results of the evaluation determining if the contractor is in compliance with the require-ments of this procedure.Hazardous Coatings: Coati

9、ng systems that contain substances (e.g., lead or other hazardous metals) in suf-fi cient concentrations to create an occupational hazard for the worker exposed to or handling the coating waste, or an environmental hazard in the locale where disturbance of the coating is taking place.Limited Amounts

10、: Only the minimum amount of paint that should be removed from localized areas to meet regu-lations for: fl ame cutting of existing steel for the purpose of demolition; arc gouging to disconnect existing steel members; welding of new steel members to existing members; welds for the retrofi tting of

11、bearings, etc.Qualifi cation: The procedure by which written assurance is given that an applicant conforms to the prescribed set of conditions or requirements of this standard procedure.Subcontractor: For the purposes of this qualifi cation procedure, the term “subcontractor” is interchangeable with

12、 the term “contractor” and is defi ned as the same.2.2 FUNCTIONS TO BE EVALUATED2.2.1 The qualifi cation process rates four areas: 1) Man-agement of Hazardous Paint Removal; 2) Technical Capabili-ties; 3) Qualifi cation of Personnel; and 4) Safety Health, and Environmental Compliance. Specifi c requ

13、irements (evaluation items) for each of these areas are presented in Section 4 of this standard procedure. For special requirements, additional evaluation items may be included.2.2.2 The evaluating authority shall develop specifi c criteria, scoring, and evaluation schemes for determining the qualif

14、i cations of all contractors based on the evaluation items in Section 4. For special requirements, additional evaluation items may be included.2.2.3 The criteria, scoring, and evaluation schemes constitute the “Evaluation Guidelines” used to determine a contractors qualifi cations, using the sequenc

15、e of procedures in Section 5 of this standard procedure.SSPC: The Society for Protective CoatingsQUALIFICATION PROCEDURE NO. 4Standard Procedure for Evaluating the Qualifi cations of Contractors Disturbing Hazardous Coatings During Demolition and Repair Work8-28SSPC-QP 4May 1, 1997Editorial Revision

16、s November 1, 20042.3 QUALIFICATION CATEGORIES2.3.1 This standard procedure establishes two qualifi cation categories for removing and containing hazardous (e.g., lead-based) paint. These categories differ in the extent of contain-ment and ventilation required, based on the amount of dust and debris

17、 likely to be generated during repair and demolition. Note: This standard procedure is primarily geared toward lead paint removal work. However, if chromium or other hazardous materials are present in the previously applied coating system, the contractor is expected to be familiar with OSHA and EPA

18、requirements for handling these materials.2.3.2 Category A: This category consists primarily of chemical stripping and power tool cleaning within contain-ment in accordance with Class 1C or 1P of SSPC-Guide 6. Contractors qualifying for Category A automatically qualify for Category B.2.3.3 Category

19、B: This category consists primarily of chemical stripping and power tool cleaning within containment in accordance with Class 2C, 3C, 2P or 3P of SSPC- Guide 6. Qualifi cation for Category B does not automatically include qualifi cation for Category A.3. Referenced Standards 3.1 The latest issue, re

20、vision, or amendment of these standards and other references shall govern unless otherwise noted.3.3 If there is a confl ict between the requirements of any of the references and this procedure, the requirements of the procedure shall prevail.3.4 SSPC STANDARDS:Guide 6 Guide for Containing Debris Ge

The request, along with an application fee, must be submitted to the qualifying agency.The application process involves gathering

45、required information about the contractor or shop as described in the application form. This information and documentation will be submitted to the qualifying agency at the same time as the formal application for qualifi cation.6.2 REVIEW OF APPLICATION PACKAGE: The contrac-tors application package

46、is reviewed by the qualifying agency using guidelines for evaluation that have been established by that agency. The evaluation items are based on Sections 4 and 5 of this document. 6.3 ON-SITE AUDIT OF CONTRACTOR: Subject to satisfactory evaluation of the application package referred to Sections 4 a

47、nd 5 and on a date mutually agreed upon by the contractor and the qualifying agency (unless the audit is unannounced), the qualifying agencys auditor will visit the contractors premises and complex structure job site or shop fl oor where thermal spray application is being performed to investigate an

The auditor will perform the following: Confi rm data submitted with the application for quali-fi cation. Conduct interviews w

49、ith key supervisory personnel and some subordinate employees. Observe and rate the organization and operation, including management procedures, technical capabili-ties, quality control, and safety and health programs and procedures. Examine and rate equipment and facilities.The on-site audit will usually require from one to three days to complete.6.4 EXIT INTERVIEW: Following the site audit, and be-fore the auditor leaves the site, an exit interview will be held. 8-32SSPC-QP 4May 1, 1997Editorial Revisions November 1, 2004At the exit interview, the auditor will
