ONION CARBIDE CORPORATION Internal Correspondence Texas City Plant November 4, 1986 To: M. D. Lindsey Subject: OSHA Asbestos Standard Implementation Several areas of concern were identified by the committee during the process of reviewing the revised OSHA asbestos standard and considering its impact on the Texas City Plant. These generally fall outside the scope of the charter given to the committee and are listed here for your consideration. 1. There appears to be a need for communication with the turf department heads to encourage them to continue the emphasis on removal/renovation of asbestos containing insulation. Results from the initial effort under Joe Schultz have been inconsistent and to a large extent have been dropped from the budget for 1987. The 3 to 5 year plan adopted in 1985 should be maintained. 2. It is apparent from administering the notice requirements of the existing EPA regulations contained in the Plant Procedure on asbestos, that the plant is largely unaware of the requirement for advance notice to the agencies involved. This has placed a burden on the insulation group to double check each job to assure that required notices were timely provided prior to starting an asbestos renovation/removal. 3. The departments that have complied with the notice provisions in the Asbestos Plant Procedure have consistently given too narrow a time window for the work to be done which has placed an additional burden on the insulation group. Any time frames set for insulation removal or repair should be set with the cooperation and agreement of the maintenance organization. In general it is the recommendation of the committee that an effort be made to inform all employees of the new asbestos procedure requirements emphasizing the notice required to the regulatory agencies and highlighting the increased costs that will be associated with future asbestos renovation/removal. The insulators are available to provide estimates on manhours required for specific jobs, and to assist in identifying priority work. UCC 006379 ASBESTOS CHRONOLOGY TEXAS CITY PLANT 1.

Employers performing asbestos work on multi-employer construction sites are also required to inform other employers of the nature of the work, the existence of regu lated areas, and work rules that pertain to them. tos in jobs of short duration with no protection required," the union complained. Sheldon Sam uels, the Industrial Union Department's direc tor, health, safety, and environment, in decrying the exclusion of a STEL, argued that peak asbes tos exposures permitted under the standards can overwhelm the body's natural defense mech anisms, putting workers at extreme risk. Samuels did. however, express gratitude to Secretary of Labor William Brock for moving the asbestos standards out of the Office of Manage ment and Budget (OMB) where it had been lodged for some time. The budget office is ac cused by some critics of trying to delay release of the standards and to unduly influence their con tent in the course of its regulatory review. OMB has denied these allegations. Rep. John D. Dingell (D-MI), chairman of the House Subcom mittee on Oversight and Investigations is investi Legal challenges gating OMB involvement in asbestos OSHA's two new asbestos standards were im mediately challenged in the Federal courts by organized labor groups, asbestos trade organi zations, and two manufacturers affected by the standards. The AFL-CIO's Industrial Union Department filed a petition for review of the general industry standard before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department filed a petition for revieiv of the construction standard before the same court. The AFL-CIO said that after waiting for a de cade for a revision of the asbestos standard, "as bestos-exposed workers deserve a stronger stan dard." The union pointed out that, even with the tenfold reduction in the PEL, seven of every 1.000 rulemaking. (Dingell was also a party in a re cently-decided case challenging OMB's author ity in agency rulemaking; he is also trying to eliminate funding for OMB's regulatory review office. See "OSHA Communique" elsewhere in this issue.) In another challenge to the OSHA standards, the Asbestos Information Association (AIA), a U.S. trade group, sought review of the standards before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans. Government Affairs Counsel Kenneth N'yquist said AIA believes ac curate monitoring of asbestos exposures at the 0.2 fiber/cc level is not technically feasible and, therefore, will pose compliance difficulties. The Asbestos Institute (AI), a Canadian non profit organization funded in part by Canada's asbestos mining industry, petitioned to inter vene in the AIA case. AI President Gary Nash contends that in formulating the standards. Secretary of Labor OSHA did not meet its court mandate of estab lishing a significant risk of injury from asbestos William Brock is credited with dislodging at 0.2 fiber/cc. He also criticized OSHA's stan dards for failing to require different controls for different types of asbestos, depending on their the asbestos standards from OMB. varying health effects in humans, as he main tains asbestos standards in other countries do. Annthersuit, filed in the U.S, Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York by R.T, Van derbilt Co., a maker of industrial talcs, sought a slay of the asbestos standards as they apply to UCC 006382 1.v 111, III. di \ Slli hr fo i a I -,; m/ s1 be a.-.'

By standardizing the sampling procedure used, OSHA hopes to reduce the relatively large inter laboratory variability which may partly result from different laboratories following different procedures. r OSHA also requires that persons performing asbestos analysis attend the NIOSH course for sampling and evaluating airborne asbestos fiber concentra_ tions, or equivalent. From a practical standpoint, this may turn out to be a formidable task. Although no accurate figures are available, a rather large number of people are currently engaged in asbestos sampling and analysis, particularly at asbestos removal jobs. Imparting NiOSH training to all those persons could be a lengthy process. It should be emphasized that ^ participation in a course atone does not ensure competency in asbestos analysis. Only successful participation in an ongoing rigorous quality control program, such as I the AIHA PAT program, can ensure / maintenance of proficiency. While OSHA mandates participation:^ such a program, it does not specify v. any performance requirement. For general industry, OSHA requires that initial air monitoring be conducted prior to October 1986 to evaluate employee exposures. If an employer has already conducted such monitoring after December 20,1985, OSHA will accept that data. If the initial or subsequent monitoring indicates 8hour, time-weighted average (TWA) exposures exceeding the action level, monitoring must be repeated every six months. For the construction industry, OSHA requires that initial monitoring be conducted at the beginning of each job involving asbestos unless monitoring data from an earlier but similar project can be presented or if the employer can demonstrate with objective data that employee exposures will not exceed 0.1 fibers/cc. If initial monitoring indicates 8-hour, TWA exposures above the acton level (0.1 fibers/cc), the employer must conduct representative daily monitoring unless all employees are provided with supplied air respirators. For general industry, when exposures are found to be above the PEL, OSHA requires employers to establish regulated areas and change rooms (including showers), and provide employees with respiratory protection, coveralls, gloves, head and foot coverings, and eye protection, and to develop a written compliance program. Trie employer is also responsible to ensure that employees shower at the end of the work shift. For employees exposed at or above the action level; OSHA requires annual training of employees and preplacement, annual, and termination-of-employment physical examinations. Forthe construction industry standard, when exposures are found to be above the EL. OSHA requires the establishment of a regulated area and use of respiratory protection and protective clothing.

Coffman, C.I.H Manager, Industrial Hygiene Services Since it was first proposed in April 1984, the revised OSHA asbestos standard has been the subject of much debate. On June 20,1986, in the latest round of that debate, OSHA issued two final rules (orasbestos: 29 CFR 1910.1001 for general industry, and 29 CFR 1926.58 forthe construction industry. In issuing two separate rules, OSHA recognized the difficulties most employers have faced in trying to apply the existing standard (which was intended for fixed places of employment) to construction, renovation, demoli tion, and maintenance work involving asbestos-containing building products. The new OSHA regulations reduce the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos from 2 fibers (longer than 5 micrometers) per cubic centimeter of air (fibers/cc) to 0.2 fibers/cc and establish an "action level " of 0.1 fibers/cc.

Preemployment and annual medical surveillance is required for aK employees who may be exposed to asbestos at or above the action level tor more than 30 days per year orwho are required to wear respirators. Both standards mandate the selection of respiratory protection based on measured employee exposures and the criteria outlined in Tablet. The standards also require that the employer provide powered air purifying (PAP) respirators whenever employees request them (provided measured exposures are at or below 20 fibers/cc). OSHA requires respirator fit-testing every six months of all negative pressure respirators. Although OSHA accepts qualitative fit-testing for half-mask respirators, the standards require quantitative fittesting forother negative pressure respirators. Table 2 contains a summary of the compliance schedule for these regulations. For further information or assistance, please call our Industrial Hygiene Department. MichaelA.

When the user breathes in. a suction or "negative-pressure" is created in the face piece. This negativepressure, in turn, pulls in air through the cartridges. Different types of cart ridges are made for these respirators to filter various toxins. For asbestos, HEPA (High Efficiency, Particulate, Air) cart ridges are always used. Because the neg ative pressure which pulls outside air in through the cartridges can also pull con taminated air in through any loose face seals, negative pressure respirators are generally used for light asbestos condit ions. For instance, the U.S. EPA recom mends half-face HEPA cartridge respira tors as the minimum for janitors, cus- i todians and maintenance workers who come into daily contact with asbestoscovered pipes and surfaces. POSITIVE PRESSURE Positive-pressure respirators use motor ized pumps to supply about four cubic feet of filtered or processed air per min ute to the user. Because the air is forci bly delivered, the air pressure inside the face piece is higher than the pres sure of the outside, ambient air. This higher or "positive-pressure" adds an extra dimension of protection because even if leaks do exist between the face piece and the wearer's face, the higher pressure inside the mask will constant ly force air outward--thus preventing the inward movement of contaminated air. There are severed kinds of positivepressure respirator systems ranging 'v\" "\TK v."ts vitv.ch. u.v.:-e '.vir.a- inn;ca. hauerv yv\\^\v. motors ed to the worker's body, to large, high pressure, Type-C, supplied air breath ing systems which use industrial com pressors and chemical processing units to provide Grade-D air to large-scale working crews.
