It will provide consistent and accurate identification of both asbestos and non-asbestos containing insulation materials an all piping and equipment There will no charge for this service. To aid with scheduling, each plant will be responsible for appointing a Building Representative. The Building Representative will be contacted by a Dow Asbestos Identification Administrator to establish a "plan of attack" prior to their buildings sampled. The plant will need to provide the Asbestos Identification Administrator with a 8.5"x11" plot plan of each floor and any tank farm areas associated with their building site. These drawings will be used to section the buildings off for easier identification. The Asbestos Identification Administrator will assign a contractor crew to a plant to take samples and label lines and equipment accordingly. The sampling process will be followed by the Asbestos Identification Administrator. Results of the identification survey will given to the plant for their records. Expect to receive a call if your buildings meet the above guidelines. For further information please contact Steve Shellenberger at #8-6986.

Potential asbestos exposures are to be treated in the same manner as a chemical exposure. Safety Standard S-122 clearly defines the required action to be taken In the event of an exposure. Once the employee or supervisor has initiated the correct response, additional requirements to seal off th<? affected area and perform the required corrective actions are defined in IH Standard 160, Section X. A review of the responsive actions are: fsEgayge .Gsncxal 1. Shower Personnel believed to be exposed to asbestos shall shower to remove asbestos material from the clothing to reduce further exposure and tracking of asbestos material. 2. Call Emergency Services on 1-2-3 Plant personnel are to call Emergency Services on 1-2-3 for transportation of employee to medical and to alert medical of the situation. 3. Contact Plant Supervision Plant supervision is to be Informed of the situation and actions taken. Plant supervision will then initiate appropriate site control Co prevent further exposure at the site. glCe.Coaerol 1. Isolate area Plant personnel wearing protective equipment shall barrier off the area and place appropriate warning signs. Within a facility, disconnect and/or seal off ventilation units. __ 2. Communicate Inform employees within the facility of the situation and to avoid entering area. Contact Industrial Hygiene Services for assistance. 3. Clean-up operations Conduct clean-up operations as per IH-160 (Asbestos Containing Material) ensuring that workers are trained and protected with appropriate respiraforfahd protective clothing. Plant supervision should review all appropriate standards to ensure compliance with plant procedures. 5-31-89 PIPING AND EQUIPME INSTRUCTIONS FOR FI 1.

OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE - Enter the name of Dow's Owner's Representative (or the Building Representative) 4. BLDG NUMBER - Enter the building number. 5. FLOOR LEVEL - Enter the floor level (eg. B(basement), 1st, 2nd, etc.) 6. SECTION OF BLDG. A. Identify which section of the building this survey sheet is for.(eg. Section A, B, C, D, E, etc. Refer to the existing building layout drawing or develop one for the insulation survey. Each section is to be shown on a separate survey sheet. Tank farms will also be assigned a section and shown on the layout drawing. B. For work in pipe trusses or highlines, identify the street location (eg. G-15to16, for pipe along G St., between 15th and 16th streets). 7. PROJECT START DATE - Identify when the survey for this section was started. 8. PROJECT FINISH DATE - Identify when the survey for this section was completed 9. SAMPLE A. NO. - Identify each sample container and the material where the sample was taken from with a unique number. The number sequence for each building section should start with 1. B. FRIABLE - Identify whether the material is friable. ('Friable' refers to material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder in the hand and can result in the release of asbestos into the air.) Identify with a "Y" in the 'YES" column or an "N" in the 'NO' column. C. NON ASB. - Identify if the material was determined to not be asbestos by putting a ''NO" in this column, (this can be determined by the analytical lab or expert opinion.) D. ELEV. - Indicate how many feet above the floor that this sample was taken. TLS 5/9/89 (Rev 5/24/89) STO092309 1 OIC3 6 0 0 1 S PIPING AND EQUIPMEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR FI lTI6K"SljRVEY 9. SAMPLE (confd) I E. LOC. * Identify the section of the building as shown in nurpbpr'6 above and indicate which of the following designations is most appropriate for further defining the sample location within the section. ("N" for north, "NE" for northeast, "E" for east, "SE" for southeast, "S" for south, "SW" for southwest, "W" for west, "NW" for northwest, and "C" for center) An example is "A-NE" for a sample taken from the northeast area of section A in a building. 10. EQUIPMENT AND PIPING A. NO. - Indicate the piping, vessel or equipment number. B. SQ.FT.- Identify how many square feet of material similar to the sample exists on the vessel or equipment item in this section of the building. Do Mt include the quantity of material that will be shown on another survey sheet for another building section. C. SIZE - If the sample is from a pipeline, identify the diameter of pipe in inches (4', 10", 24", etc.) D. LNGTH - If the sample is from a pipeline, identify by pipe number and how much pipe, in feet, exists in this section of the building. Do Qfil include the quantity of material that will be shown on another survey sheet for another building section. E. SAMPLE SOURCE - Indentify which of the three types of material (jacketing, insulation, or mud) that the sample was taken from and indicate where the sample was taken from, by using one the following abbreviations in the appropriate column: BH - bottom head E - elbow 1 - instrument N - neck P - pipe (not at a fitting) T -tee TH - top head V - valve VB - vessel body 11.
