Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)
C' '
Some persons may be sensitive to partially cured phenoiic or casnew resins and develop dermatitis-type reactions. Dusts of crystalline siiica may produce silicosis. 1 ARC has classified pure crystalline silica as a possible carcinogen. Metal dusts can be irritants of tne eyes and upper respiratory system. There is little Known evidence of chronic industrial poisoning from iron.
aluminum, and zinc dusts.
Innalation of concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the OSHA limits may be hazardous to health and may cause serious bodily harm, such as asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma. These diseases may not be recognized until many years after exposure. Medical literature indicates that people who smoke are at a significantly increased health risk when working with airborne asbestos fibers.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Partially Cured Cashew Resins -- skin eruptions similar in appearance to poison ivy.

SECTION IX -- SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
The Friction Material product, as shipped, is not considered hazardous, but machining {grinding and drilling) and/or normal use may create asbestos dust or airborne asbestos fibers in excess of OSHA standard and should be considered hazardous.
Recommended Precaution -- if airborne asbestos fiber concentrations exceed OSHA limits. NIOSH approved respirators should be worn and proper engineering controls implemented, if product is ground or machined, local exhaust to control exposure to airborne asbestos fibers or dust is recommended. (See "Recommended Procedures" on Page 4.)
The work environment should be monitored to determine whether employee exposure exceed OSHA permissible exposure level in accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.1001.
Packagescontaming the Friction Material Product should be labelled in accordance with OSHA regulation 29CFR Pari 191Q 1001 (j) (2) as follows:

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES FOR REDUCING ASBESTOS DUST DURING BRAKE SERVICING
While most friction materials used for brake service may still contain asbestos, many suppliers are now replacing asbestos with steel, mineral, and/or syn thetic fibers. The OSHA regulations refer directly to the asbestos used in friction materials. However, since the long term medical effects of the non asbestos fibers are unknown, it is suggested that exposure levels be controlled for all replacement friction materials.
1. The OSHA regulations on asbestos exposure emphasize two levels for airborne concentrations of asbestos. These levels determine (1) if the workplace is in compliance with the regulations, and (2) if not, what action must be taken.
(1) The Permissible Exposure Level (PEL); 0.2 fiber per cc, 8 hour time weighted average .(TWA).
(2) The Action Level: 0.1 fiber percC 8hour TWA. (The regulation is not activated if fibef ex posure remains below 0.1 fiber per cc.)
If certain precautions are taken, it is believed that the workplace can be maintained at levels below the Action Level, and if this is the case, several requirements of the OSHA regulations may be avoided. Monitoring of these levels is required where exposure is or may be expected to exceed * the Action Level.
2. Areas where brakes are serviced should be set aside. If concentrations exceed the permissible exposure level (PEL), a "regulated area" must be established which restricts occupancy to author ized personnel. Where a "regulated area" is des ignated a warning sign must be displayed at each entrance to the area;
DANGER ASBESTOS CANCER AND LUNG OISEASE HAZARD AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY RESPIRATORS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE REQUIRED IN THIS AREA
3. When removing worn friction materials or cleaning used brake parts, remove the accumulated dust with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. If removing accumulated dust or other debris from the brake assembly, alternate wet methods may be used: (a) Compressed air/solvent bottle system where parts are sprayed with a mist and the wetted particles are removed with a wet rag, or (b) Solvent spray-mist with final clean-up with a wet rag. Do not use compressed air or dry brushing for cleaning unless the assembly is enclosed and properly exhausted. (Refer to OSHA Asbestos Regulations. CFR Title 29. Part 1910. 1001, Ap pendix F).
4. Whenever possible, purchase friction materials preground and ready for installation. If machining
is necessary, there is the possibility that the permissible exposure ievel (PEL) may be ex ceeded. in which case respirator protection is required. There must oe local exhaust ventilation such that worker exposures are maintained below the PEL. Local exhaust ventilation consists of dust collection hoods Or enclosures connected by duct or piping to a collection filter and suction source.
5. In certain grinding operations, where con centrations cannot be reduced below the per missible exposure ievei (PEL), a respirator program shall be used. The respirator must be one approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for the concentrations en countered. Respirators may also be required during certain maintenance, start-up oremergency situations where engineering controls cannot maintain concentrations below the PEL. Where a regulated area is designated for concentrations exceeding the PEL. approved respirators with high efficiency filters must be worn.
6. Industrial vacuum cleaner bags containing as bestos dust, cloths used for wiping brake as semblies. used cartridges from respirators, and disposable work clothing should be sealed in plastic bags and labeled with the following warning
^Jabei printed in letters of sufficient size and contrast to be readily visible and legible:
DANGER CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS
AVOID CREATING DUST CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD
All asbestos waste should be disposed of in ac cordance with OSHA anc EPA asbestos regulations and local ordinances.
7. Good housekeeping is essential in a workplace where asbestos-containing materials are handled. Industrial vacuum cieaners equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters should be used for removing accumulations of asbestos dust and waste. Never use compressed air or dry sweeping for cleaning. Water or other dust sup pressants should be applied if brooms are used.
8. Good personal hygiene practices are important in minimizing asbestos dust exposure. Do not smoke. Wash before eating. Shower after work. If the PEL is exceedeo. protective clothing must be worn. Change to work clothes upon arrival at work and change from work clothes at con clusion of work. Do nor take work clothing home, Laundering of asbestos contaminated clothing shall be done so as tc crevent release of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the permitted ex posure level.
CAUTION: DO NOT BREATHE ASBESTOS DUST
