The proposed standard would lim it occupational exposure to 8-hour tim e-w eighted average (TWA) airborne concentrations of asbestos dust not ex ceeding five fibers longer than . flvs m icrometers per m illiliter. Concentra tions above five fibers but not to exceed 10 fibers (celling concentration) would be perm itted up to IS m inutes In an hour, but for not more than S hours in any one B-hour day. i NIOSH In effect has recommended that the five-fiber TWA and 10-flber peak concentrations be perm itted only for 2 years; thereafter, TWA concentra tions should be not more than 2 fibers per cublo centim eter (cm.*) of air, and . peek concentrations should not exceed 10 fibers/cm.*, with no tim e restriction. Numerous objections and counterpro posals have been m ade, w ith regard to both the lim its .of asbestos fiber concen trations and the tim e periods to comply with them .

These rec om m endations give a fair Indication of the wide spread of the counterproposals.

Monitoring. The proposed standard the required medical operations subject to the single asbestos standard (textile, manufacturing. Indus trial. and m arins Installation, etc.) will m eet varying degree of difficulty In complying with tha standard. In some plants, extensive redesign end reloca tion of equipment may be needed. It ap pears. however, the delay in the affective would h are required personal monitor ing and environmental monitoring. M any issues b a re been raised concerning the availability and reliability of meas uring instrum ents, frequency at m oni toring. and conditions In which m onitor ing should be required. The adopted standard take the objections Into con apprehension erf thoss who have argued against empioywr access is based on th e expectation th a t some employer* will use the m edical exam inations as a vw--n ,, j screening employment applicants, we w ane, as grounds for discharging current employees, who show signs of being a f fected by exposure to tK- d ata of th a two-fiber standard will p ro vide all employers a reasonable time to comply- At th e same time, so long as th e celling limit u complied with, no harm Is reasonably expected to result from ex posures during the transitional period. 2 Method* o f compliance. I t has been polifted out by many persona, th a t pro tection against asbestos -fibers Is best obtained by controlling the generation of fibers first, and secondly, by controlling t.h* dispersion of released fibers Into th e am bient air of the workplaces. Therefore, the standard requires feasible techno logies1 controls and appropriate work practices as the primary means of com pliance. Rotation of employees as a way of meeting the TWA concentration re quirem ent ti allowed only in stated ex ceptional circumstances, because, as a general nils, It would be difficult to Im plement. Personal protective equipment, such as respire ton, cannot be relied upon because, among other reasons, they m ay be so uncom fortable as to be b u r densome, except for short periods of time. Therefore, it is expected th a t res pirator* and sh ift rotation wQl be used during the period necessary to Install en gineering oontrols and to train employ ees In sound work practices, but, after technological compliance has been achieved, their" use must be limited to special work situations and emergencies. W here both are practicable, shift rota tion Is required. 3. r.fibrUne. The proposed standard stopped anon of requiring labeling -as- bestoe and asbestos-containing products.

I t has also been recommended th a t employees or their-representative* should h are an opportunity to observe the monitoring. The recommendation has been accepted. ' S.JdedicaJ exgmfrmtionj. The pro posed standard would onjy require an appropriate medical examination on e periodic basis. T he generality of the pro posal has attracted many objections and also many helpful comments. The recom mendations of NIOSH and of the Advi sory Committee on Asbestos D ust were much mare specific w ith respect to both frequency and type of medical examina tions to be required. The comments vary as to the class of employees to be ex amined and as to the frequency of the exam inations. The adopted standard requires medical examinations both at the beginning and the termination of employments exposed to concentrations of asbestos fibers, an d also requires annual medical exam ina tions of every employee exposed to air borne concentrations of asbestos. I t has been pointed out th a t in certain indus tries, such as construction, an employee may work for several employers during the same year. Accordingly, the standard does not require either preemployment, or term ination, or periodic exam lnatoa of any employee who has been examined In accordance w ith the standard*^wltidn purpose of the medical examinations is to m onitor th e h ealth of employee* ex posed to th e hazards of abestoa, em ployees cannot in reason be granted tha privilege of refusing to <Ht P ^ to th eir employers results of occupational expo sure. I t does no t make sense to require employers to provide medical >rm in.. tlone if they cannot know, and use the resulte of the vk-- reasons th e standard provides that em ployers m ay have a restricted access to some m edical information. On th e o th er h and, there Is no Inten tion to allow employers to abuse ) inform ation obtained pnrm w* to Act, to th e detrim ent, of emplnyeau Therefore, the administration of the medical records requirement will be closely w a tc h e d /a n d , in esses of abuse, appropriate action wUI be /`ww^<atw i Th e Issues discussed above are believed to be the m ajor ones. Humorous other Is sue have been raised In the rulemaking proceedings. Borne have been referred to incidentally. Many for instance, about work practice, are so. . obviously meritorious th a t their adoptlon needs no .'exposition here. O ther reoammcrvtatlOhs. and vny objections have not been adopted for a variety of reasons which should be manifest. Sev eral. for Instance, have recommended the use of respirators only pursuant to a . variance, o r in cases of emergency *wrf ' occasional short-term exposures.' The recommendation -with respect to vari ance undoubtedly h a s'm a n y merits, b u t la considered administratively Im practical. . .' where asbestos hazards are present. However, labeling, rather than warning signs, has proved to be a point of con troversy. Both NIOBH and the Advisory Com m ittee on Asbeetoe Dust recom m ended labels for asbestos products and containers, and these recommendations became very controversial In the course of the proceeding. Many counterpropropoaali have been made as to the la n guage of the warning as well as to the products to be subject to the labeling requirem ents. Employers. In general, strongly contend th a t (1) finished prod the past year. .
