ADAM Asbestos Manager
Todays Challenge
Managing asbestos survey data and tracking
remaining asbestos material locations following
abatement activities is a difficult task and
Building owners and managers have numerous
notification requirements associated with
asbestos . All building tenants, construction
contractors and building maintenance personnel
are required by OSHA regulations to be provided
with proper notification regarding the location
of asbestos containing materials in their work
area.
If asbestos materials are inadvertently disturbed
and inadequate notifications were not provided,
the building owner or manager can be faced with a
contaminated building, an expensive cleanup
operation, a citation and fine by OSHA and the
EPA, and potential lawsuits from people who claim
to have been exposed to asbestos.
The Solution
The ADAM Asbestos Management System is an
affordable, easy to use system for managing
information regarding the locations of asbestos
in a specific building or group of buildings. It
enables building owners and managers to store and
access asbestos survey and sampling data, update
remaining locations of asbestos following
abatement activities, store and catalogue
electronic documents pertaining to asbestos
related activities in the facility and prepare
building specific OSHA compliant notifications.
The system operates in single user mode or can be
configured for multi-user client-server
operation. ADAM is available for both PC and MAC
operating systems.
Key Capabilities
Provides easy access to the location,
quantity and asbestos content of tested suspect
materials Stores records of abatement
activities, including materials removed,
contractor information, air sample results and
waste disposal records Enables users to enter
or import a list of contractors, tenants, and
employees and generate building specific
notifications to meet OSHA and California Health
and Safety Code requirements Prepares OSHA
compliant asbestos warning signs for posting in
routine maintenance areas

Abatement Project Recordkeeping
For abatement projects, ADAM stores all records
and information including materials removed,
project costs, waste manifest records and sample
results. When the project is completed, the
system automatically updates the remaining
material locations ensuring users have the most
accurate information available at all times.

Provides OSHA Notification
ADAM can create building specific asbestos and
lead notifications and maintain a database of
tenants, contractors, employees and vendors who
are required by OSHA, AHERA or State laws to
receive notifications. The system maintains
the
recipients name,
company,
address
and
building they
work
in.
Notifications are automatically addressed and
mailing labels printed for easy distribution.
ADAM allows users to electronically
transfer employee or vendor database into the
system.
