Specifically, the floor surface must be covered with taped down plastic sheeting or other impermeable material six feet the perimeter of the work surface, or a distance sufficient to contain the dust, whichever is greater. Alternatively, your firm can install vertical containment measures as described more fully in frequent question 23002-23786.
