Z11.1 The Purchaser ensures that the Ambient Air in the area where the Supplier will Provide the Services conforms to the acceptable prescribed South African standard for asbestos, as per the regulations published in GNR 155 of 10 February 2002, under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act 85 of 1993) (“Asbestos Regulations”). The OEL for asbestos is 0.2 regulated asbestos fibres per millilitre of air as a 4-hour TWA, averaged over any continuous period of four hours, and the short term exposure limit of 0.6 regulated asbestos fibres per millilitre of air as a 10- minute TWA, averaged over any 10 minutes, measured in accordance with HSG248 and monitored according to HSG173 and OESSM. Z11.2 Upon written request by the Supplier, the Purchaser certifies that these conditions prevail. All measurements and reporting are effected by an independent, competent, and certified occupational hygiene inspection body, i.e. a SANAS accredited and Department of Employment and Labour approved AAIA. The Supplier may perform Parallel Measurements and related control measures at the Supplier’s expense. For the purposes of compliance the results generated from Parallel Measurements are evaluated only against South African statutory limits as detailed in clause Z11.
