At the same tune, so lone as the celltac limit Is complied with, no harm Is reasonably expected to result from ex posures during the UsnsiUonal period. 2. .Method* o/ compliance. It has been pointed out by many persors. that pro tection a carnal asbestos fibers ts best rbtatned by controlling the ctneratlon of fibers first, and secondly, by controlling the dispersion of released fibers usio the ambient asr of the workplaces. Therefore, the standard requires feasible techno logical controls and appropriate work practices as the primary means of com pliance- notation of employees as a way of meeting the TWA concentration re quirement is Allowed only In staled ex ceptional circumstances, because, as a general rule. It would be difficult to Im plement. rersonat protective equipment, such as respirators, cannot be relied pon because, among other reasons, they ay be so uncomfortable as to be bur densome. except far short periods of Umc. Therefore, it ts expected that resptraton and shift rotation will be used during the period necessary to install en gineering controls and to tram employ ees In sound work practices, but. after lechnolocical compliance has been achieved, their use must be limited to special work situations and emergencies. Where both are pracucable. slutt rota tion Is required. 3. fiobettng. The proposed standard slopr-cri short of requinne labeling as-' beams and osbcsios-coniam jin prooucu.
