Wabeke Subject: Employe Respirator Training Program Thank you for your comments, both direct and indirect, written and verbal, on the proposed respirator training program. The attached document reflects these responses as veil as several hours more work with personnel from Photomedia. You will notice I have starred * some of the slides to indicate the possibility that such a slide might be available in the Company already. Please inform me if you have such slides in your files. In fact, as you read the script would you also indicate availability of slides that might be used at other points. While work on this production is being started in order to have a product in the near future, I would like to have the opportunity to discuss any changes and details of production. That would be the time to clarify supplemental materials (e.g. handouts, guidelines). This meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, September 30 at 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Room, Suite 900 Parklane Towers West. TTfope you will attend this "last chance" for input. B. G.

PROTECTION IS ACHIEVED BY REMOVING. THE CONTAMINANT FROM THE AIR BEFORE IT'S INHALED OR BY SUPPLYING CON TAMINANT-FREE AIR TO THE RESPIRATOR. A CONTAMINANT MAY BE A GAS, SUCH -S CiCLORINE. . .A VAPOR SUCH .a aOLYi-.IT VAPOR; A DUST SUCH nS SILIO. , n SUCH AS WELDING FUME; SMOKE SUCH > OIL SMOKE; FIBERS SUCH AS -LEESTOS; OIL MIST OR PAINT OVERSPRAY. *Photos A) Emergency Use Respirator in Plant Location B) Spillage of Hazardous Material -2- 9/17/SO RESPIRATORS ARE USED IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS THAT INCLUDE. . .

A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE REQUIRED IF THERE IS A LACK OF OXYGEN. AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATORS PROVIDE AIR FROM A SOURCE INDEPENDENT OF THE SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE. ONE KIND IS A SELFCONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. OTHERS SUPPLY AIR THROUGH A HOSE 6R-3-Y A COMPRESSOR. SELECTION OF A SPECIFIC RESPIRATOR IS 6FT&! BASED ON INFORMATION GAINED FROM AN INDUS TRIAL HYGIENE SURVEY. THIS SURVEY MAY INCLUDE SAMPLING OF THE ATMOSPHERE, MEASURING EXPOSURE OR ASSESSING RISKS TO HEALTH FROM AN EMERGENCY SUCH '3 SPILL.

Photos A) Particulate Removing Respirator B) Vapor and Gas Removing Respirator C) Combination THERE ARE TWO MAIN FORMS OF AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS: PARTICULATE-REMOVING AND VAPOR AND GAS-REMOVING. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO HAVE A RESPIRATOR IN 'WHICH THESE TWO FUNCTIONS ARE COMBINED. Photo CU of filters Photo CU ol cartriages PARTICULATE REMOVING RESPIRATORS PREVENT DUST, SMOKE, FUME, FIBERS AND MISTS FROM ENTERING THE EMPLOYE BREATHING ZONE BY FILTERING THEM. VAPOR AND GAS REMOVING RESPIRATORS USE CHEMICAL CARTRIDGES OR CANISTERS TO TR.P GAS AND VAPOR. 8004 1248 Photo Montage of Particulate-Removing Respirators Type Particulate Removing Respirators 5- 9/17/30 THERE 16 A WIDE VARIETY OF PARTICULATEREMOVING RESPIRATORS. THESE RESPIRATORS USE A FILTER TO REMOVE AIRBORNE PARTICLES SUCH AS DUST, FIBERS, SMCKE, FUME, MISTS OR AEROSOL MIXTURES. THEY MUST NOT BE USED FOR VAPORS OR GAS EXPOSURES. Photo CU of disposable mask ONE TYPE, USED IN SEVERAL COMPANY LOCA TIONS, IS THE DISPOSABLE MASK WHICH REMOVES DUST AND FIBERS. Photo Person wearing respirator at coke oven ANOTHER TYPE OF PARTICULATE-REMOVING RESPIRATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A DISPOSABLE FILTER. THIS TYPE OF RESPIRATOR IS MATCHED TO A PARTICULAR NEED. FOR EXA.'r-'L;', IT CAN BE USED TO FILTER COKE OVEN EMISSIONS. Photo Montage oi vapor and gas-removing respirators VAPOR AND GAS-REMOVING RESPIRATORS USE A CARTRIDGE OR CANISTER AS THE ELEMENT TO TRAP VAPORS OR GASES. THEY CONTAIN A MATERIAL WHICH ABSORBS THE CONTAMINANT AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE CARTRIDGE OR CANISTER. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL IS COMMONLY USED FOR SOLVENT VAPORS. CANISTER RESPIRATORS MAY BE CHIN. FRONT. OR P'.SK MOUNTED. 8004 1249 Photo Show List Photo CU of cartridge -6- i,;/ j.

IP THE WEARER DETECTS AN ODOR OR TASTE, OR FEELS EYE OR THROAT IRRITATION, HE SHOULD IEAVE THE AREA AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AND CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE OR CANISTER. IN SOME CASES, THEY MAY REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT CHANGES. THEY MUST NOT BE USED FOR DUSTS, FIBERS, MISTS, SMOKE OR FUMES. Photo Paint sprayer wearing combination respirator in paint environment. A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF A COMBINATION RESPIRATOR IS WORN BY PAINT SPRAYERS. PROTECTION IS ACHIEVED BY THE INDEPENDENT COMPONENTS OF THE RESPIRATOR, ONE FOR VAPOR, AND ONE FOR PARTICULATES.

THIS MEANS THAT AIR FROM THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT IS DRAWN INTO THE RESPIRATOR BY THE WEARER'S ACT OF INHALING. Photo CU of Respiratory Inlet AS THE WEARER INHALES, A PARTIAL VACUUM IS CREATED WITHIN THE RESPIRATOR WHICH CAUSES AIR TO PASS THROUGH THE FILTERS. THE FILTERS OFFER SOME SLIGHT RESISTANCE TO INHALING. Photo CU of Blower Respirator Type Do not use air-purifying respirators where there is no oxygen! Photo Plant physioiun marking document apu:ove uue 01 respirator SOME AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS USE A BLOWER TO PASS AIR THROUGH A FILTER TO REMOVE CONTAMINANTS. THEN, PURIFIED AIR IS SUPPLIED TO A RESPIRATOR INLET WHICH MAY BE A FACEPIECE, HELMET OR HOOD. THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT THERE IS A CONSTANT sr > <-=" AIR FLOW AND NO CHANCE FOR LEAKAGE. 6 p i-t'V TPr* /f'Ta <>/. REMEMBER, THESE RESPIRATORS MAY NOT BE USED IN ATMOSPHERES WHERE THERE IS OR MAY BE A LACK OF OXYGEN. EMPLOYES, WHO MUST USE A RESPIRATOR, '..ILL BE ASSIGNED ONE SPECIFIC FOR HIS OR OWN USE.

WITH THIS TYPE OF RESPIRATOR, WHERE A PRESSURE DIFFERENCE EXISTS INSIDE THE FACEPIECE, A TIGHT FIT IS ESSENTIAL TO ASSURE THAT CONTAMINANTS DON'T COME IN THROUGH CRACKS. A POOR FIT TO THE SKIN CAN BE CAUSED BY: FRAMES ON GLASSES, MOUSTACHES, BEARDS, SIDEBURNS, AND FACIAL STRUCTURE. Type . Qualitative fit . Quantitative fit THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF TESTS THAT ARE REQUIRED AND NECESSARY FOR PROPER RESPIRATOR FIT: QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE FIT. USUALLY, QUALITATIVE FACE FIT TESTS ARE EASY TO MAKE AND THEY RELY ON THE WEARER'S ABILITY TO JUDGE THE FIT. *Photo Demonstration of Qualitative Fit A) Covering exhalation valve B) Covering cartridges QUALITATIVE FIT TESTS INCLUDE TWO BASIC APPROACHES. THE FIRST, A POSITIVE-NEGATIVE PRESSURE TEST, SHOULD BE USED EVERY TIME AN AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR IS PUT ON. THIS TEST INVOLVES COVERING TIL LXILL TIO: VALVE WITH THE HAND AND BLOWING INTO T.I RESPIRATOR. THE RESPIRATOR SHOULD DEVTL'r A PRESSURE INSIDE THE MASK WHICH ONLY LEAKE 8004 1253 - lo - 9/17/30 OUT SLOWLY IF THE FIT IS PROPER. NEXT, THE CARTRIDGE OR CARTRIDGES ARE COVERED AND THE WEARER BREATHES IN. IF THE FIT IS PROPER, A VACUUM SHOULD BE CREATED INSIDE THE MASK AND THE RESPIRATOR SHOULD COLLAPSE AROUND THE FACE. Photo Demonstration of Banana Oil Te6t THE SECOND APPROACH INVOLVES THE USE OF BANANA OIL OR OTHER SIMILAR^MATERIALS. IF THE RESPIRATOR IS PROPERLY WORN, THE WEARER WILL NOT SMELL THE TEST SU3STANCE. Photo Show procedure THERE ARE SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR THESE AND OTHER QUALITATIVE TESTS AVAILABLE THROUGH INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SERVICES. Photo CU of Single-Use Respirator Photo Demonstration of Quantitative. Fit Test THESE APPROACHES CANNOT BE USED WITH SINGLE USE, DISPOSABLE RESPIRATORS. / . QUANTITATIVE FIT TESTS WILL BE CONDUCTED WHERE OSHA STANDARDS REQUIRE ITS USE, OR EMPLOYE EXPOSURE WARRANTS SUCH TESTING. QUANTITATIVE TESTS INVOLVE PLACING THE WEARER IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING Ail EASILY MONITORED GAS, VAPOR OR AEROSOL.

EMPLOYES WHO HAVE NOT WORN RESPIRATORS, OR WHO USE A DIFFERENT RESPIRATOR, $$ REQUIRED TO ATTEND A TRAINING SESSION, HAVE A FITTING AND TAKE THE TIME TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO WEARING THE RESPIRATOR PRIOR TO USE IN A CONTAMINATED AREA. RESPIRATORS NEED CARE. WEARING A DEFECTIVE ONE DOES NOT PROVIDE THE PROPER PROTECTION. MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF YOUR RESPIRATOR. AN ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF REGULAR CLEANING, DAILY INSPECTION, AND SAFE STORAGE. FOR RESPIRATORS THAT ARE ASSIGNED. CLEAN ING SHOULD BE DONE AT THE END OF THE SHIFT. THE GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR CLEAN ING IS TO REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE CANISTER. WASH THE FACEPIECE IN MILD SOAPY ..'VTE?.. AND RINSE THOROUGHLY.

THEY MUST BE THROW-AWAY AT THE END OF THE DESIGNATED TIME PERIOD. Photo Inspecting respirator outside work area IF YOUR RESPIRATOR CLOGS, OR IF BREATHING BECOMES DIFFICULT, OR YOU SMELL AN ODOR, LEAVE THE CONTAMINATED AREA WHEN POSSIBLE. INSPECT YOUR FACEPIECE FOR THE PROBLEM AND ARRANGE FOR REPAIR AND OR.REPLACEMENT. Photo Demonstrate emergency procedure where person is wearing respirator appropriate for emergency use IN CASES OF AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS A SPILL OR LEAK, WHICH RELEASES A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONTAMINANT, LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATE!v. YOU MAY RETURN TO THE AREA WEARING A RESPIRATOR, APPROPRIATE FOR EMERGENCY USE, TO AFFECT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES NECESSARY, SUCH AS SHUTDOWNS OR SPILL CLEANUPS. 8004 1257 Type Things to Remember A) . Use for intended condition . Check fit . Don't wear one that's damaged . Do not repair B) . Clean daily . Inspect daily . Keep in protective container . Ch-nge filters and cartridges as xeqaircci FOR YOUR RESPIRATOR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY YOU MUST USE AND MAINTAIN IT CORRECTLY. IN ORDER TO DO THIS, YOU MUST: USE YOUR RESPIRATOR ONLY FOR THE CONDI TION FOR WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED; CHECK THE FIT EACH TIME YOU WEAR IT; DO HOT WEAR / DAMAGED RESPIRATOR; DO HOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR A RESPIRATOR; CLEAN YOUR RESPIRATOR DAILY; THOROUGHLY INSPECT YOU?. RESPIRATOR DAILY; KEEP YOUR RESPIRATOR El A PROTECT!fa CONTAINER; AND CHANGE FILTERS AND - 14 CARTRIDGES WHEN REQUIRED. Photo Typical view of person wearing respirator in use. REMEMBER.
