BEAUMONT WORKS 'IfottSl PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT pUP-2028 VOL. XVI, NO. 9 APRIL 3, 1979 Respirable asbestos is aKrfbwncarcinogen. Use of materials containing asbestos particles which may become airborne has been essentially eliminated on the plant site. Special procedures for control and disposal of asbestos have been developed and implemented by Engineering. Keep this precaution in mind: if you think a material contains asbestos, treat it as asbestos. When handling for removal, be sure to wet down and use resplratory protection. When work is complete, discard properly-impervious bag, properly labeled, and placed in designated dumpster. Do not use asbestos in new installations. Substitutes are avail able. If some asbestos materials are located, handle and discard properly. "Nomex" gloves instead of asbestos are better suited for most applications. A good topic for a safety meeting is a tape presentation on proper handling of asbestos, available from Bob Clem, Dct. 9365. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE LTF/ffc DUP 0502465 DU 002051
