Table B-1. Determination of an Assessment Index
Each assessment factor in the checklist has one or more value-weighted conditions. For example, for the
assessment factor water damage to ACM, the value-weighted conditions are yes, valued at three points
and no, valued at zero points. For every value-weighted condition in the checklist, the corresponding
point value, in parentheses, follows a line, which is provided for the checkmark, used to indicate the
assessment factor condition selected by the evaluator. Following the selection of value-weighted
conditions for all assessment factors in part I of the checklist, the sum of the points is determined. The
sum is the damage value, entered at the end of part I and is used in the matrix below. The exposure value
is similarly determined from data in part II and used as the second entering argument in the matrix.
Using the damage/risk potential and exposure potential values derived from the checklist (Army ACM
assessment checklist), as entering arguments, use the matrix below to find the corresponding assessment
index.

Table B-2. Management Corrective Action
Assessment
Recommended Management Corrective Actions
Index
A
Immediate action Requires assessment by certified personnel (in-house or contractor)
who are experienced in and qualified to conduct asbestos assessments. Possible follow-up
actions may include isolation of the area and the restriction of access and/or immediate
removal of the ACM. If removal is indicated, action planning should include a detailed
survey. This condition will likely involve a near term expenditure of funds. Managers
must know exactly what needs to be done to eliminate the asbestos hazard and how to use
available funds most effectively.
B
Action as soon as possible Requires assessment by certified personnel (in-house or
contractor) who are experienced in and qualified to conduct asbestos assessments. Initiate
a special O&M program immediately. Possible follow-up actions may include the
limiting of access to the area and the scheduling of removal during periods of low activity
in the facility, not waiting for the normal repair and maintenance cycle.
C
Planned action Requires assessment by certified personnel (in-house or contractor) who
are experienced in and qualified to program. Initiate a special O&M program. Removal
should be scheduled as part of the normal repair and maintenance cycle of a facility,
minimizing cost and disturbance.
D
Repair Initiate special O&M using certified personnel. Damaged areas should be
repaired, where repair means returning damaged asbestos-containing building materials
