Subject : OSHA'S NEW ASBESTOS-STANDARD
July 11. 1986 .
As I mentioned earlier in my memo dated 6-19-86, the Federal OSHA has adopted stricter asbestos standards to protect workers From exposure to asbestos. The new standard reduces employee exposure to asbestos to 0.2 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) averaged over an 8-hour day. The new standard also sets an action level; it is.0.1 f/cc averaged over 8 hours. If this level is exceeded, employers must begin compliance activities such as air monitoring, employee training, and medical surveillance. .
If exposures are above the action level, periodic monitoring must be conducted at intervals no greater than every 6 months. In addition, the employer must initiate monitoring whenever there ha3 been a change in the production, process, control equipment, per sonnel or work practices that may result in new or additional exposures to asbestos. ' .
The employer must establish a regulated area in
those area where airborne concentrations of asbestos
exceed the permissible exposure" limit. Only authorized
personnel may enter regulated areas. No smoking,
.
eating, drinking, or applying cosmetics is permitted
in regulated areas.
Respirators shall be used in work situations where
feasible engineering and work practice controls are
not yet sufficient to reduce .exposure to or below the
exposure limit.
.
This new standard shall become effective July 21. 1986. I have asked the Federal OSHA to send me copies of the new standard. Upon receipt of them. I will forward one copy to you for your review/file.

SECTION XI
HEALTH HAZARDS - DESCRIPTIONS AND SYMPTOMS
SILICOSIS
A disease due to breathing air containing crystalline silica, characterized anatomically by generalized fibrotic changes and the development of miliary nodulations in both lungs.
The symptoms include gradually increasing difficulty in breathing and non-productive cough, shortness of breath, decreased chest expansion, lessened capacity for work, absence of fever, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis.
ASBESTOSIS
This is a chronic lung disease in which the lungs become scarred as a result
of the biological reaction to inhaled asbestos. Damage to the lungs is irreversible
and progressively disabling.
..
Affected individuals experience shortness of breath on exertion. Examining*
physicians may note a bluish color of the lips and tongue, an alteration in the
-nails, and hear crackles at the base of the lungs. The chest x-ray is found to
have an increase in the profusion of small irregular opacities and deterioration
may be noted in tests of lung function.
*
Although asbestosis does not necessarily lead to lung cancer; individuals with
this disease are at high risk to develop cancer.
Mesothelioma
'
This is a malignant tumor of the thin membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities. It is an extremely rare cancer in the general population and is almost invariably associated with asbestos exposure. It is a rapidly progressive disease leading to death within a year or two of appearance.
The -first symptom may be shortness of hreath or pain in the wall of the chest aggravated by deep breathing or abdominal pain varying from vague discomfort to severe spasms.
Pleural Plaques
The pleura are the membranes lining the chest cavity. Asbestos fibers reaching
this cavity may produce scarring of. these membranes. This is visible in the
chest x-ray as a pleural thickening. If calcium salts become deposited in these
areas, then, pleural plaques are produced. Pleural thickening is a common
complication of pulmonary asbestosis and these x-ray signs are often used as
markers of asbestos exposure.
'
JMM 00000009
A/C PIPE
Lung Cancer '
The symptoms include a cough, or a change in the cough habit, chest pain, and occasionally blood-streaked sputum coughed up from the lungs.
The asbestos-related lung cancer occurs more frequently in the lower lobes. Initial diagnosis is by chest X-ray.
SECTION xn
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ASBESTOS-CONTAINING PIPES
(Hygienic Practices)
.
In case of gutting or be reling asbestos-cement pipes, all hand or power-operated
tools which may produce or release asbestos fibers should be provided with
local exhaust ventilation systems.
.
Asbestos-containing material should he handled in a wet state sufficient to
prevent the emission of airborne fibers.
.
'
. Workers engaged in the demolition of asbestos-containing pipes should be provided with appropriate respiratory equipment approved by the Bureau of Mines or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and special dothing
such as coveralls or similar whole body clothing.
Asbestos-containing waste should be collected and disposed of in sealed impermeable bags, or other closed, impermeable containers.

Introduction
.. - _ i--wriii
Asbestos and Health
The Occupational Safety and Health Act in the United] States and similar laws in Canada and other countries werefjH
enacted to ensure so far as possible, every worker a safe and
heallhy work place. This legislation is far-reaching, It cov-;!w ers millions of employees and nearly.every employer, in eluding those involved in utility duct and pipeline construe- '"y
tioiv
, '(I
In keeping with the spirit and intent of these laws, the '?
asbestos-cementpipe industry is cooperating with labor by disseminating information regarding the potential hazards of exposure to airborne asbestos and the means of reducing such potential hazards through good work practices.
.
Good work practices is what this booklet is about. The
recommendations that appear on the following pages are the result of field testing and were developed through
study.'.They are intended as general guides to achieve safe and dean.job site conditions when working with asbestoscement (A/C) pipe products. Since field conditions will
I. ,
' ' '
vary, adherence to these work practices will not necessarily guarantee compliance with national, state or local regubW ' lions. Questions relating to compliance should be directed to appropriate regulatory agencies.
The A/C Pipe Producers Association believes this booklet will be helpful to engineers, superintendents, contractors, foremen and laying crews in understanding and explaining
established procedures for the safe handling of A/C pipe
products.
u'are aware, airborne asbeatot Tiber has been Iden-
4 as a poaalble health hazard. Very few things to which
eiare exposed are "2ero risks." Qul like the automobile,
i'electrlclty'and x-rays, there are non-harmful ways to use
potentially harmful things.
l/! Generally, asbestos-cement (A/C) pipe products contain
" less than 20% asbestos, The asbestos fibers are not free, but
encapsulated or "Idcked-in" the cement binder like rein
forcing rods in concrete. The distinction between "free"
and "bound" asbestos is extrumely Important. First of all, it
determines the probability of fiber release, which in turn,
directly relates to Ihe probability of risk. More importantly,'
it explains clearly and. simply why A/C pipe is a non
harmful use of asbestos.
.
Experience has shown that minimizing exposure lo air
borne asbestos dust is the only effective melhnd t>( prevent
ing asbestos-related diseases'. Recommended work prac-
. Ilces are the best assurance .of providing exposure safe-
d"uards (or yourself and your employees.

Summary of OSHA Asbestos Standard
TKe Occupational Safety and'Health Act was signed Intq'j
law on December 29, 1970, and became effective on April' 28, 1971. On December 7,' 1971, the Secretary of Laoorj issued a temporary standard fur exposure to asbestos dust. As required oy the Act, a permanent standard for asbestos exposure was promulgated six months later,
Under the current standard, it is the employer's respon*
sibility to assure that exposure of employees to airborne
concentrations of asbestos fibers does not exceed the fol
lowing "permissible exposure, levels":
.
a, Eight hour time weighted average: Two fibers, longer
than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter. b. Celling concentrations: Ten fibers, longer than S mi
crometers, per cubic centimeter. in October, 1975, OSHA proposed a revision to the cur rent standard which would reduce the eight hour time
weighted average exposure tb 0.5 fibers per cubic centime- ,t ter of air and celling concentrations to 5.0 fibers .per cubic ^
centimeter. In their notice, OSHA stated that a separate { "construction Industry standard" would be issued tocovA
workers who handle asbestosrcontalnlng products. Thiy
work practice booklet will be revised as necessary to reflect
any changes the construction industry standard may
necessitate.
'
< .
The work jirnclices recommended in Ihii booklet are hated on
. data for "ficnk dust concentrations" representing short time periods of tnnximnm ex/msure. Field cutting and machining opera-
lions involving AIC pif>e are normally infrcijnent and of short
duration. Using these recommended work practices, il is improba ble that field personnel would be exposed-in a typical working day
to levels exceeding the eight hour lime weighted overage,

Please find enclosed our laboratory tests results on a crocidolite fibre sample from China National Metal. This sample came to us through Eastern Chen.
Results obtained are a bit confusing. . Ro-Tap and Quebec Standard tests
show a 5R grade, but Bauer-McNett results indicate a 4T grade. Me also
note a very high wet volume (in the range of our group 3 fibre) and a -
very slow drainage rate.
-
We will run a fihre strength unit test on the remaining fibre and base the evaluation of our closest~maTching grade mostly on thaf~result. A complementary report will be issued as soon as F.S.U. results are known.

Dear Paul,
'
I am leaving on an extended business trip to Europe on Thursday, December 5, 1985, and will return to San Francisco the night of Thursday, December 19th. I would be pleased to meet you in your office on Friday, the 20th, about 10 a.m.
As of this date, I have not heard of any definite 1986 pricing. One U.S. customer told me yesterday that a Canadian asbestos supplier advised him his price would not increase in 1986, but would remain the same.
We are most interested in serving your Company in 1986. not only with our quality fiber, but also the service we can offer. I don't want any misunderstandings with you as occurred last year. We obviously roust be competitive, and can supply you F.O.B. your facility in Stockton at a lesser price than other, more distant mines.
It is also possible that while on this trip I will learn about 1986 prices. is the case I will telephone you from wherever I am.
If this
I look, forward to visiting with you within two weeks.
Best regards.
Yours.

MEMORANDUM
. . '
TO: P- Laroche FROM: N. Boutet
.
Date: April 25, 1986
SUBJECT: Crocidolite (blue fibre)(from China National Metal.'
Please find enclosed our laboratory tests results on a crocidolite fibre sample from China National Metal. This sample came to us through Eastern Chen.
Results obtained are a bit confusing. . Ro-Tap and Quebec Standard tests
show a SR grade, but Bauer-McNett results indicate a 4T grade. We also
note a very high wet volume (in the range of our group 3 fibre) and a
very slow drainage rate.
We will run a fihre strength unit test on the remaining fibre and
base the evaluation of our closestTmatching grade mostly on thaTTresult.
A complementary report will be issued as soon as F.S.U. results are
known.

Mr. Paul Huang, Purchasing Manager JM Manufacturing Company, Inc. 1051 Sperry Road Stockton, CA 95206
Dear Paul,
'
I am leaving on an extended business trip to Europe on Thursday, December 5, 1985, and will return to San Francisco the night of Thursday, December 19th. I would be pleased to meet you in your office on Friday, the 20th, about 10 a.m.
As of this date, I have not heard of any definite 1986 pricing. One U.S. customer told me yesterday that a Canadian asbestos supplier advised him his price would not increase in 1986, but would remain the same.
We are most interested in serving your Company in 1986, not only with our quality fiber, but also the service we can offer. I don't want any misunderstandings with you as occurred last year. We obviously must be competitive, and can supply you F.O.B. your facility in Stockton at a lesser price than other, more distant mines.
It is also possible that while on this trip I will learn about 1986 prices. If this is the case I will telephone you from wherever I am.
I look forward to visiting with you within two weeks.
Best regards.
Yours. CALAVERAS NATURAL RESOURCES, INC.

Dear Paul,
Enclosed are two communications from AIA.
The EPA announcement is only a proposal and it seems that everyone except EPA doesn't think there is a chance it will become law.
Thank you for your order for 1986 at Stockton. Hopefully, we will be able to serve you at Denison.
The special rail rate we requested to Denison has been approved and should become effective on or about February 14, 1986. I believe that this will be about $50/ton.
This letter also confirms our agreement of yesterday to a 5R price of $325/ton, F.O.B. Mill, Copperopolis, California.
Best wishes.

Dear Mr. Huang,
I have just been notified by the Santa Fe Railroad representative that the rate to Denison, Texas which we have been negotiating with them, has been approved and is effective this date.
In view of this we hope to be able to competitively supply fiber to
your Denison, Texas facility.

Attention: Hr. John Karnam&at, President
This communication Is a letter of response to
your request for a professional opinion regarding the poss
ible harmful effects to health in the normal commercial
use of your "Interflba1' products.
"
It Is my understanding that these products are primarily "spec-blended" cellulose fibers, with .some clays, quaternary salts, and other minor materials.
Because of the nature of the product and their particle sizes, the organs of primary concern regarding possible harmful effects are the respiratory tract and the . eyes. Normal eye protection against foreign substances, as . _ recommended In theiMatalal Safety Data Sheets, would be suff iolent to prevent eye Injuries. Simple dust masks, worn when a visibly dusty work situation is encountered, would prevent potential respiratory tract irritation or any more serious respiratory problems.
` - Based on my knowledge, there are no known cases of carcinogenesis from celluloslc materials such as used, in these products, and it is my professional opinion that, if used in a manner such that the airborne concentretmations of these products are no greater than 10 mg/^(milligrams per cubic meter) or 30mppcf(million particles per cubic foot)*, no long-term adverse health effects such as pneumo coniosis or carcinogenesis will occur.
If you have any questions regarding this opinion, please contact me.
Very truly yours.

January 27, 1986 Memorandum For:

AIA/NA MEMBERS
yCa -iAx.
n* .
Subject:
Supplementary Comments and Information on EPA's Proposed Rule to Ban and Phase Out Uses of Asbestos
AIA/NA memorandum of January 24 forwarded to you initial information pertaining to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) pro posed rule to ban the use of five asbsetos-containing products and *'-- phase out all remaining uses of asbestos in the United States over the next 10 years. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide ycnT-with additional information on the specifics of the proposal and to assist you in responding to various inquiries and in pro viding information to customers as may be deemed appropriate. The proposal is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on January 29, 1986.
First, as emphasized in the January 24 memorandum, while the issu ance of EPA's proposed rule is a disappointment to.the industry, it is nevertheless a proposal. It is a long way from becoming a final regulation. As you know, the EPA proposal has been under consideration for over six years. The Association is on public record opposing such dranconian action as unjustified--based on the absence in today's use of asbestos of any "unreasonable risk." Such finding of an "unreasonable risk" is required by the Toxic Substances Control Act prior to promulgation of any final rule. In addition, EPA's proposed action is clearly out-of-step with the consensus of a number of international bodies that have thoroughly studied the asbestos issue (EEC, ILO & WHO). These organizations and other world nations favor the.control of asbestos rather than the ban approach.
As to the actual proposal (see excerpt from prepublication copy
enclosed) , the rulemaking procedure calls for submission of com
ments 90 days after publication in the Federal Register (April 29,
.1986) with public hearings to later follow. After this, EPA will
assess the record and then will likely prepare and submit to the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a final rule for review.
It is safe to assume that EPA's preparation and submission to 0MB
of any final rule will not, at the earliest, occur before sometime
in 1987. This would mean an effective date of January 1, 1988 or,
if a final rule is published within the last four months of next
year, the effective date would be January 1, 1989-
*
, JMM 00000095'
The fact that OMB cleared issuance of a proposed rule to ban pro ducts and phase-out the use of asbestos does not imply that OMB
support will be forthcoming for the same drastic approach in any final rule. There are many complex issues to be addressed and reconciled in the rulemaking process- Suffice it to say that the issuance of an EPA proposed rule to bring about the demise of the U.S. asbestos industry does not in any way assure that such an event will occur.
We do not believe that EPA will be able, as required in order to issue the proposed rule, to support with substantial evidence its preliminary finding of unreasonable risk. AIA/NA plans to submit evidence to the agency to demonstrate that risk from use of today's products are not unreasonable. On one hand, EPA overestimates ex posures to asbestos in use of today's products and the adverse health effects that might be caused by such low exposures. On the other hand, the agency underestimates the value to society of these asbestos-containing products and the potential risks that would ex ist with uncontrolled use of substitute non--asbestos products-
3t is appropriate to comment briefly on the other three regulatory options discussed in EPA's proposed rule. These alternatives to the actual, proposed rule are attached and invited to your at;tention. The alternatives give credence to the fact that EPA's pro posal is a worst-case scenario and is not one cast in concrete.

JMM 00000111
EPA PROPOSED RULE
EXCERPT FROM PREPUBLICATION COPY OF FEDERAL REGISTER MOTICE
IV. OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED Section 6 of TSCA requires that EPA apply the least burdensome requirements to reduce an unreasonable risk, EPA is considering a number of options for Implementing the regulatory policy of phasing out the manufacture and
JMM 00000112
70-
inportatlon of asbestos products. These options involve staged bans of categories of asbestos products, this approach would ban the manufacture, importation, and processing of all asbestos products within a certain
category at the same time. EPA is considering a category
approach for groups of asbestos products with similar exposure patterns, similar exposure control issues, and similar substitutes. Examples of categories under consideration are construction products and friction products^ EPA believes it may be good public policy to ban categories of.products at the same time. This approach would address similar exposure patterns In the same way- and treat all parts of an Industry sector similarly. In addition, both the construction products category and the friction products category contain products that could substitute for other products in the category if all are not banned. Thus, a ban of the entire category may be necessary to reduce risk most effectively.
One option under active consideration in addition to the ones embodied in the proposal is banning the manufacture, importation, and processing of the asbestos construction products category and asbestos clothing with the ban effective soon after promulgation of the rule; banning the manufacture, importation, and processing of the asbestos friction products category about S years after
JMM 00000113
-71-
promulgation of the rule; and gathering up-to-date
production, exposure, and use data on the remaining asbestos
products under section 8(a) of TSCA to support possible bans
of other asbestos products at that time. Another option is
banning the manufacture, importation, and processing of the
asbestos construction products category, asbestos clothing,
and the asbestos friction products category as stated above
and banning the remaining asbestos products at a later time
(e.g., 10 years), thus allowing time for the development of
effective substitutes while strongly encouraging substitute
development. A third option is banning the manufacture,
importation, and processing of the asbestos construction
products category and asbestos clothing as stated above and
covering all other asbestos products under the phase-down.
Under each of the options, CPA is also considering a
.
requirement that products not banned soon after promulgation be labeled as containing asbestos.
CPA is actively considering these options as alternatives to this proposed rule and specifically requests
comment on these alternatives. EPA may adopt a final rule based closely on one or a combination of these alter
natives. These alternatives are discussed more fully below.
1. Ban the asbestos construction products category and
asbestos clothing soon after promulgation of the rule, ban
the asbestos friction products category about 5 years later,
and gather additional information on other asbestos
.
products. Under this alternative, EPA would ban the
JMM 00000114
manufacture, Importation, and processing of the asbestos construction products category (i.e., asbestos-cement pipe and fittings, roofing felts, flooring felts and felt-backed sheet flooring, vinyl-asbestos floor tile, corrugated asbestos-cement sheet, flat asbestos-cement sheet, and asbestos-cement shingles) and asbestos clothing soon after promulgation of the rule. Effective substitutes exist for these products. The rule would also ban the manufacture, importation, and processing of the asbestos friction products category (i.e., drum brake linings, disc brake, pads for light, medium, and heavy vehicles, brake blocks, clutch facings, automatic transmission friction components, and industrial and commercial friction materials) S years after promulgation of the rule. This alternative would reduce exposure to asbestos without the administrative burden of EPA establishing and operating a permit system as In the proposed approach. This alternative, by banning asbestos friction products 5 years after promulgation, would strongly encourage the rapid development of additional effective substitutes for asbestos friction products. The 5-year delayed ban would also allow time for expansion of production capacity for non-asbestos friction products.
EPA estimates that this alternative, assuming current exposure levels, would avoid about 2,100 cancer cases that EPA can quantify while costing about S2.ll billion. This is a cost of about 1.01 million per cancer case avoided.
JMM 00000115
-73-
Because OSHAhas proposed lowering the. workplace PEL
Cor asbestos to 0.2 f/cc. EPA also estimated the numbers of
cancer cas.es avoided assuming strict compliance with this lower PEL. Assuming strict compliance with an OS HA PEL of 0.2 f/cc EPA estimates that this alternative would avoid about 1.060 cancer cases that EPA can quantify, while costing about $2.11 billion. This is a cost of about $2.00 million per cancer case avoided.
To determine how sensitive the cost per cancer case avoided was to the banning of particular products. EPA conducted a sensitivity analysisexcluding asbestos-cement pipe from the ban.
Without a ban of asbestos-cement pipe and assuming strict compliance with an OS HA PEL of 0.2 /cc, EPA estimates that this alternative wouLd avoid about 840 cancer cases that EPA can quantify, while costing about $1.87 billion. This is a cost of about $2.22 million per cancer case avoided.
EPA believes that effective substitutes are increasingly becoming available for asbestos friction products and will be readily available by the date the delayed ban would become effective. However. EPA is considering an exemption process for essential uses without substitutes. One area EPA is studying in particular is the aftermarket for asbestos brakes. Some persons have stated
JMM 00000116
-74-
that -asbestos brakes now in use cannot safely be replaced by asbestos-free brakes when they wear out* while others have disagreed with this assertion. EPA is aware of the potential risk to the public fron poorly perforating brakes. EPA specifically requests coanent on this issue.
CPA considered various approaches for addressing the risk presented by asbestos products not banned either soon after promulgation or S years after promulgation under this alternative. One approach would be to propose andpromulgate a rule under section 8(a) of TSCA to gather contemporaneous data concerning the production and use of and exposure to these products at the time the first products ban rule becomes effective or at a date a few years later. EPA would analyze that data and then decide whether to ban additional asbestos products. EPA would also determine the date of these bans# which may be at staged intervals. After deciding these issues, EPA would propose and promulgate the bans of these asbestos products. Another approach for addressing the risk presented by these remaining asbestos products is discussed as alternative 2 below.
2. Ban the asbestos construction products category and asbestos clothing soon after promulgation of the rule, ban the asbestos friction products category about 5 years later, and ban remaining asbestos products about 10 years later.

Forwarding of Information Pertaining to EPA's Proposed Rule to Ban and Phase Out Uses of Asbestos
As you no doubt have learned already from the news media, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has obtained clearance
from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to issue a pro
posed rule which would ban the use of five asbestos-containing
products and phase out all remaining uses of asbestos in the
United States over the next 10 years. A news briefing was held
at EPA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 23 to de

Copy of Proposed Rule for Federal Register
It is expected that the proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register within the next 10 days; comments on the pro posed rule are required within 90 days after publication with public hearings to be scheduled after submission of comments.
As a recap, the products EPA proposes to ban are:

In addition, under the proposed rule, EPA would also allow only those persons with permits issued by EPA to mine or import as bestos for use in products that are not banned. This would be accomplished by authorizing persons to mine or import a percen tage of the average amount of asbestos mined or imported yearly during 1981, 1982, and 1983 starting with 30 percent in year 1 and declining to 3 percent in year 10.

STATEMENT BY
LEE ft. THOMAS, ADMINISTRATOR U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
JANUARY 23, 1986
Today, EPA is announcing its proposed rule to ban the use of five major asbestos products and to phase-out all remaining uses of asbestos in this country over the next 10 years.
Today's action is a major new step toward eliminating public exposure to asbestos. It is the latest in a long series of actions by EPA to reduce the risks from asbestos.
We are taking this action because of the significant and well-documented threat to health that asbestos represents. It is a known human carcinogen that causes lung cancer and mesothelioma. Asbestos is released into the air through its life cycle, from raining to processing to use and final disposal. As a result, it is present in the ambient air and presents a serious health risk to the American people. No level of exposure is without risk. Our action today begins the process of eliminating that risk. As a result of what we are proposing, we estimate that about 1900 cancer deaths from asbestos will be avoided.
The proposal would immediately prohibit the importation, manufacture and processing of five asbestos products for which substitutes are now readily available. These asbestos products accounted for about half of current asbestos consumption in 1981. They are: saturated and unsatrrated roofing felt;
JMM 00000120
2- -
flooring felt and asbestos felt-backed sheet flooring;
vinyl-asbestos floor tile; asbestos-cement pipe and fittings;
and asbestos clothing.
In addition, we are proposing to phase out the remaining
uses of asbestos not covered by the ban over the next 10 years.
The phase-down would reduce the importation and production of
asbestos products by 10 percent each year. That period of
time is necessary to allow the development of alternative
products.
In the proposal, we are asking comment on a number of
alternative ways of achieving the same goal, the ultimate
elimination of widespread asbestos use in this country. These
alternatives involve grouping asbestos products by use category,
such as construction, friction and clothing, and banning them
in stages.
Finally, we are proposing that all products not immediately
banned be labeled as containing asbestos.
-
Labeling would ensure that persons working with or otherwise
handling the products would know that the product contained
asbestos, and it would enable them to take steps to reduce the
likelihood of exposure.
As a proposal, we are seeking public comment on our
actions. We expect this rule to be widely and actively debated.,
and we welcome that discussion. Ultimately, I believe there
can be no debate about the health risks of asbestos. This
proposal starts us down the path that will eventually rid
asbestos from our environment.

EPA PROPOSES TO PHASE OUT ASBESTOS USE
R-10
FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY. JANUARY 23, 1986
Dave Ryan (202) 382-2981
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today
proposed to ban the manufacture, importing, and
processing of asbestos in certain consumer products,
and to phase out its use in other products; any product
that is not banned would be labeled as containing
asbestos.
"Today's action is a major new step toward eliminating any public exposure to asbestos," said EPA Administrator Lee Thomas. "It is another in a long series of actions by EPA to reduce the risks from this well-documented cause of cancer in our society."
The human health risks of asbestos are serious and well-docunented. Asbestos is a known human carcinogen that causes lung cancer and mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal lining), and is also linked to other cancers.
EPA analyses show that the elimination of asbestos will have minimal economic impact, due to the widespread availability of substitutes for those asbestos products being banned. About 240,000 metric tons of asbestos were used domestically in 1984.
Acting under authority of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA plans to immediately prohibit asbestos in five of the products in which it is used most: roofing felts, flooring felts ( and felt-backed sheet flooring), vinyl-asbestos floor tile, asbestos cement pipe and fittings, and clothing. In addition, all remaining domestic mining and importation of asbestos would be phased out over a ten-year period. The tenyear phaseout affect5.!,g other products would be

JMM 00000122

accomplished via a permit system, under which EPA would allocate permission to nine or import a specific volume of asbestos per year.
In addition to an immediate ban of certain products and a phaseout of
others, EPA is considering other approaches to address the risks associated
with asbestos products. One approach includes banning "categories" of
similar asbestos products at staged intervals.
.~
Under the proposal, all products that are not immediately banned would be labeled as containing asbestos. Labeling would ensure that persons working with the products would know they contained asbestos, and it would enable these people to reduce the likelihood of exposure.
On the subject of substitutes for asbestos products, Thomas said:
"The issue of asbestos substitutes is important because TSCA requires EPA
to take not only health but economic considerations into effect when
developing regulations. The manufacturers of any product subject to
an immediate ban have access to good asbestos substitutes, so no adverse
economic effects should occur. Vehicle brake manufacturers, however, use
asbestos extensively in linings, but do not have substitutes available
yet for all applications. Por this reason, EPA is not banning asbestos
in brake linings at this time.
.
"In encouraging' the development of substitutes, EPA will be promoting significant reduction in risk. Currently, products that are replacing asbestos appear to present lower risk. However, EPA will monitor the development of substitutes, and will use TSCA to require testing of substitutes if necessary to ensure their safety," said Thomas.
The human health risks of asbestos are well known. EPA estimates that asbestos causes from 3,300 to 12,000 cancer cases a year in the U.S., almost all .of which are fatal. About 65,000 persons in this country are currently suffering from asbestosis. The agency further estimates that about 2,600 persons will develop lung cancer or
mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos from products made over the next 15 years.
Cigarette smoking and asbestos are thought to have a strong synergistic interaction in the development of lung cancer, with the latter multiplying the risk. Consequently, when exposed to asbestos, the risk of lung cancer for smokers (for whom the risk of lung cancer already high) is much higher than for nonsmokers exposed to asbestos. persons who develop lung cancer die within five years.
is Most
Basing its conclusion on available evidence, EPA believes there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos. This conclusion is consistent with the present theory of cancer causation and is further supported by documented cases where low or short-term exposure has been shown to cause asbestos-related disease.

JMM 00000123
EPA has broken the economic costs of this proposed rule down into *-*o categories: (1) costs to consumers* and (2) cost to producers.
,e costs represent the total value of losses incurred over the 15-year period from 1985 to 2000.
Consumer losses would result from increases in costs incurred for
asbestos products. Total consumer losses are estimated at $1.8 billion;
however* spread across the population this would average less than ten
dollars per consumer over 15 years. This proposal would not cause
dramatic increases in typical consumer products.
Total producer costs of about $210 million would result when they can
no longer use some of the equipment used to produce asbestos products.
Much of this equipment, however* can be readily converted to the production
of other products.
.
The total cost then of meeting this rule will be about $2 billion, but when spread over the total population over the next 15 years the . impact on most persons will be small.
"CPA has weighed the health risks from continued use of asbestos against the cost of the proposed rule* and concluded that the avoidance of about 1,900 cancer cases and many other incidents of asbestos-related disease substantially outweigh the economic effects,- said Thomas.
In the 1970s, EPA banned the use of sprayed-on asbestos and asbestos-
containing pipe lagging (a type of wrapping) under the Clean Air Act, and nee then has taken steps to reduce risks from asbestos already in place
in buildings. It has issued an air standard to reduce emissions from asbestos removal and renovation projects in buildings; required inspection of schools for asbestos--containing friable materials and notification of parents if any is found; and established an extensive technical assistance program, which provides guidance to public and private building owners on the identification and safe removal of asbestos. EPA has also proposed an immediately effective regulation to protect states and local public employees who take part in asbestos abatement activities.

FACT SHEET FOR PROPOSED RULE TO BAN CERTAIN ASBESTOS
PRODUCTS AND PHASE OUT USE OF ASBESTOS
BACKGROUND
Asbestos is a demonstrated human carcinogen that causes lung cancer and mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal linings). It is associated with other cancers and also causes a serious lung disorder known as asbestosis. Asbestos is used in hundreds of products and about 240,000 metric tons were used domestically in 1984. The largest use of asbestos products is in the construction industry (e.g., asbestos-cement pipe and sheet), friction products (e.g., brakes), textiles, coatings and sealants, and packings and gaskets. Asbestos is released into the air during many stages of the lifecycle of the substance, when asbestos is mined, milled, processed, and fabricated into Industrial and consumer products, and when those products are used and disposed of.
As a result of these releases, asbestos is present in ambient air. Even brief exposure at low levels may present risks. No level of exposure to asbestos is considered without risk since cases of mesothelioma have been documented as arising from short-term or low-level exposure.

This proposed rule is part of a coordinated and integrated EPA strategy to control releases of asbestos from products already in place and to eliminate risks from future uses. This strategy is based on health risks and the availability of substitutes for many asbestos products.
DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED RULE
This rule under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act, would ban the following asbestos products which have effective substitutes: roofing felts, flooring felts (and felt-back sheet flooring), vinyl-asbestos floor tile, asbestos clothing, and asbestos-cement pipe and fittings. The rule also would reduce or "phase down" the total amount of asbestos which may be imported or mined, in staged decrements over ten years.
(more)
JMM 00000125
EPA is also actively considering alternatives to this proposed ban and phase-down. These alternatives involve staged bans of categories of asbestos products. One approach would ban the category of asbestos construction products, including asbestos-cement sheet and shingle as well as felts, floor tile, and A/C pipe, and asbestos clothing immediately and ban the category of asbestos friction products in five years. In addition, EPA would gather current production and exposure information on the remaining products. EPA would then propose bans on some or all of the remaining products.
A second alternative would ban all asbestos construction products and asbestos clothing immediately, ban asbestos friction products in five years, and ban the remaining asbestos in ten years.
Alternative three would ban asbestos construction products and asbestos clothing immediately. The remaining products would be phased out over ten years.
Under any alternative that EPA pursues, the Agency is considering that all products that are not immediately banned be labeled as containing asbestos. Labeling would ensure that persons working with or otherwise handling.these products would know that the product contained asbestos, and it would enable them to take steps to reduce likelihood of exposure.

ASBESTOS; PROPOSED MINING AND IMPORT RESTRICTIONS AND PROPOSED MANUFACTURING, IMPORTATION,
AND PROCESSING PROHIBITIONS
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a rule under section 6 of the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to prohibit the
manufacture, importation, and processing of asbestos in
certain products and to phase out the use of asbestos in all
other products. The products EPA proposes to ban are
asbestos-cement pipe and fittings, roofing felts, flooring
felts (and felt-backed sheet flooring), vinyl-asbestos floor
tile, and asbestos clothing. Under this rule, EPA would
also allow only those persons with permits issued by EPA to
mine or import asbestos for use in products that are not
banned. .Eventually, all mining or importation of asbestos
would, be prohibited, except for that mining or importation
allowed under an exemption process. EPA is proposing this
rule to peduce the serious unreasonable risk to human health

presented by exposure to asbestos. As an alternative, EPA is considering prohibiting the manufacture, importation and processing of categories of asbestos products at staged intervals. EPA is considering banning the manufacture, importation, and processing of asbestos construction products and asbestos clothing soon after the rule's promulgation with the category of asbestos friction products banned about S years later, and other asbestos products banned at a later tine. EPA believes that this alternative approach would also be an effective way of reducing the serious unreasonable risk presented by exposure to asbestos and specifically requests comment on a staged ban of asbestos product categories. Finally, under both this alternative and the proposed approach, EPA is considering requiring labeling for all asbestos products that are not banned, including products manufactured pursuant to permits issued by EPA during the phase-down period, or pursuant to an exemption process. The Agency requests comments on the feasibility and effectiveness of such a requirement. DATES: Public hearings will be held beginning approximately (insert date 105 days after date of publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER). The exact times and locations of the hearings will be available by calling EPA's TSCA Assistance Office. Comments on this proposed rule and requests to participate in the informal hearings must be submitted by (insert date 90 days after date of publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. INTRODUCTION
.
Asbestos, since the advent of its large scale use, has
resulted in thousands of painful, premature deaths from lung
cancer and other diseases. Because of the widespread use of
asbestos and its particular nature, piecemeal control of the risks it presents is not satisfactory: only elimination of
asbestos to the extent feasible will produce acceptable
.reduction of risks. Prevention of further deaths,
therefore, requires forceful, integrated action against asbestos risks. To achieve this end, EPA has established a coordinated asbestos program, aimed at controlling exposure to asbestos from products already in use and eliminating
risks from future uses. ' The rule EPA is proposing today,
which would ban certain uses of asbestos and phase out all
other uses, forms a central element of this program.
Regulatory alternatives, which are discussed in this notice
and which involve staged bans of various asbestos product
categories, could also form a central element of the
program.
The risks EPA is addressing in this proposal and in its
overall asbestos program are serious and well documented.
JMM 00000130
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen that causes lung cancer, mesothelioma (a cancer of the chest and abdominal lining) and is also linked to other cancers. It has been estimated that 3,300 to 12,000 cancer cases a year occur in the United States as a result of past exposure to asbestos; almost all of these cancer cases are fatal. In addition, asbestos causes asbestosis (a serious lung disorder). About 65,000 persons in the United States are estimated to be suffering from asbestosis today. Assuming current exposure levels, CPA estimates that about 2,560 persons will develop lung cancer or mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos from products made over the next 15 years, unless asbestos exposures are reduced through regulatory action. As discussed later, even with a relatively low workplace PEL of 0.2 f/cc, CPA estimates that almost 1,325 cancers will result from asbestos products made over the next 15 years. The underlying data upon which the risk assessments for asbestos are based come from a number of high quality epidemiologic studies. Unlike most potential carcinogens, asbestos has been studied often and thoroughly for its effects on humans.
Asbestos presents a particularly insidious threat because of the unique quality of its fibers. These fibers are small, colorless, odorless, often invisible except through a microscope, and indestructible in most uses. They
JMM 00000131
-6-
can be transported on clothes and other materials, and they
have aerodynamic features that allow them to be easily
suspended and resuspended in the air and to travel long
distances. Once released, asbestos fibers are difficult to
detect and contain, and they readily enter the ambient
air. Thus persons are exposed not only at the time and
place of release, but long after the release has occurred
and far from its source. There is constant renewal of risk
-as asbestos fibers reenter the atmosphere repeatedly over .
time.
.
Despite the known risks of asbestos, substantial
amounts of the material are still rained, imported, and used
in commercial products. About 240,000 metric tons, for
example, were used domestically in 1984. Hundreds of
products are still made with asbestos, including paper and
textiles, cement pipe and sheets, tiles and felts, and
automobile brakes. Asbestos fibers are released to the air
at many stages of the commercial life of these products.
Typical activities that lead to the release of asbestos
include the mining of asbestos, fiber processing into
products, installation of products (e.g, the sawing,
drilling, and sanding associated with asbestos-cement
products), product use (e.g., release of fibers during use
of asbestos cloth), product maintenance (e.g., buffing and
scraping of vinyl-asbestos floor tile or repair of asbestos-
JMM 00000132
-7-
containing brakes)* dismantling and removal of products (e.g.* removal of asbestos roofing felts), and disposal.
Release of fibers from these activities is substantial, resulting in exposure to both workers and non-workers. CPA estimates that about 700 metric tons are re leaser)., to _the air during raining and milling each year, about 100 metric tons during product manufacture, and about 18 metric tons from landfills. These estimates are probably low because they do - not include releases from secondary fabrication of such products as millboard and asbestos-cement sheet, much of which is done in small shops with inadequate emission controls. Observations that levels of asbestos in the air near manufacturing plants and in cities are considerably greater than rural background levels seem to confirm that these releases occur and are significant.
Release of asbestos fibers occurs not only in the manufacture and processing of asbestos products, but also in their use and maintenance. This release can occur without the knowledge of the user or maintenance personnel. Por example, construction workers tap into asbestos-cement pipes already in place. The workers often do not know that the pipe contains asbestos and thus do not take steps to limit fiber release. Similarly, significant releases occur as a result of the use and repair of asbestos brakes and other friction products, which constituted about 22 percent of the
JMM 00000133
8- -
total asbestos market in 1984. Ambient levels of asbestos are elevated near freeways, presumably due to release from asbestos brakes.
Thus, the manufacture, processing, and use of asbestos products leave a legacy of asbestos in the ambient air. This ambient loading, while difficult to quantify, is a significant problem. The National Academy of Sciences, after analyzing studies of outdoor air, estimated typical concentrations of asbestos in outdoor ambient air in urban areas to be' approximately 0.00007 f/cc (Ref. 6). Many . millions of people are daily exposed to these levels of asbestos in the air. The National Academy of Sciences has also estimated that persons in urban areas face a lifetime risk of between about 1 in 100,000 to about 7 in 100,000 of developing cancer as a result of asbestos in the ambient, air both indoors and outside of buildings (Ref. 6). Therefore, any comprehensive control strategy must take into account the potential for exposure during the entire lifecycle of asbestos products.
To date, CPA has focused its attention primarily on asbestos in buildings, a major source of asbestos release into the ambient environment. In the 1970s, CPA banned the use of sprayed--on asbestos and asbestos-containing pipe lagging under the Clean Air Act, and since then has taken steps to reduce risks from asbestos already in place in
JMM 00000134
buildings* It has issued an air standard to reduce emissions from asbestos removal and renovation projects in buildings; issued a rule requiring Inspection of schools for friable asbestos; and established an extensive technical assistance program* which provides guidance to public and private building owners on the identification and safe removal of asbestos. EPA has also proposed an immediately effective regulation to protect State and local public employees who take part in asbestos abatement activities. * These actions are primarily remedial* addressing risks from asbestos already in place; they do not address the substantial risks that will result from the continued manufacture and use of asbestos. Several other Federal agencies have already taken steps that partially reduce these risks. The Occupational Safety and .Health Administration (OSHA) has an occupational standard for asbestos with a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 2.0 f/cc. OSHA has proposed to Lower this standard to either 0.2 or 0.S f/cc. In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has banned use of respirable asbestos in consumer patching compounds and artifical emberizlng materials. However, substantial risk to workers and the general population remains. For this reason, CPA believes that only a major regulatory initiative under TSCA leading to the eventual elimination of most asbestos product
JMM 00000135
-10-
manufacture and Importation can satisfactorily reduce the overall risk to all segments of the population.
The limitations of exposure-based regulations in preventing asbestos-fiber release, and the need for more comprehensive action under TSCA, are illustrated by the use of PELs to control workplace exposure. In the first place, it appears infeasible to set a PEL for asbestos low enough to reduce risk to a satisfactory level. Even at 0.2 f/cc, the lowest PEL proposed by OSHA, OS HA, using the same lung cancer and-mesothelioma models used by EPA, estimates that about 7 in 1,000 asbestos workers may die from an asbestosrelated disease. Furthermore, it is unreasonable to assume complete compliance with a PEL of 0.2 f/cc, especially given the nature of the asbestos industry. Many of the workers exposed are in the service and construction industries, where worksites change frequently and the worker population is transient. Also, workers often do not know they are exposed to asbestos and therefore will not take the necessary precautions. As a result, PELs and other exposure controls are difficult to apply and enforce. Beyond these considerations, a workplace-based approach does not address risks to the general population. EPA estimates that, even if OSHA reduces the PEL to 0.2 f/cc, almost 1,325 cancers will still result from asbestos products made over the next 15 years.
JMM 00000136
-11-
Because of this residual risk, CPA is proposing under
section 6 of TSCA a ban on the manufacture, importation, and
processing of asbestos-cement pipe and fittings, roofing
felts, flooring felts (and felt-backed sheet flooring),
vinyl-asbestos floor tile, and asbestos clothing. These
uses would be banned because safer, economically competitive substitutes are available, and because these asbestos uses
are likely to contribute large amounts of asbestos to the
ambient environment or present disproportionately high risk.
In addition, CPA is proposing to establish a permit
A
system to phase out all other asbestos' products. Under this system, EPA would allocate permission to mine or import a
specific volume of asbestos to current miners and
'
importers. The amount of asbestos a miner or Importer would be allowed to mine or import would decline every year until after 10 years no mining or importation would be allowed,
except- under a specific exemption. This permit system would
allow the market to allocate asbestos, based on the
availability and cost of asbestos substitutes. After 10
years, EPA would put in place an exemption system for those
asbestos applications for which no substitutes had been
developed. EPA anticipates that there will be few such
applications, because the permit system would create strong
incentives for the development of substitutes. EPA is also
considering a requirement that all asbestos products that
JMM 00000137
-12-
are not banned be labeled as containing asbestos. This would apply to products nade pursuant to permits issued by EPA to mine or import asbestos, and to products made pursuant to an exemption process.
In encouraging the development of substitutes. EPA will be promoting a significant reduction in risk. Currently, all products that are replacing asbestos in its many uses appear to present lower risk. However, EPA will monitor the development of substitutes during the 10-year phase-down period, and will use section 4 of TSCA to require testing of substitutes if necessary to ensure their safety.
As explained more fully later, EPA is also actively considering other approaches to carry out a regulatory policy of phasing out the manufacture, importation, and processing of asbestos products. Approaches under consideration include banning categories of asbestos products at staged intervals. Two categories under consideration are asbestos construction products and asbestos friction products. Under this approach, EPA would ban the manufacture, importation, and processing of all asbestos products within the category at the same time.
EPA is considering this category approach because products within each of the categories have similar exposure patterns, raise similar exposure control issues, and have similar substitutes. EPA believes that it may be good
JMM 00000138
-13-
public policy to ban such categories of products at the same tine. -This approach would address similar exposure patterns in the same way and treat all parts of an industry sector similarly. In addition, both the- construction products category and the friction products category contain products that could substitute for other products in the category if all are not banned. Thus, a ban of the entire category may be necessary to reduce risk most effectively.
.. CPA also considered referring asbestos risks to OSHA / and CPSC under section 9 of TSCA. EPA decided against this
approach because OSHA and CPSC, in CPA's opinion, cannot adequately reduce the risk, given their authority and current control technologies. These agencies cannot comprehensively reduce the total volume of asbestos in commerce and cannot protect all of the many population groups at risk. Thus, action by these agencies under their separate authorities would still leave a large residual risk to workers and the general population. EPA concluded, therefore, that this approach would not adequately address the risks to society posed by the continued manufacture, processing, and use of asbestos-containing products. EPA is convinced that restrictions on the manufacture, importation, and processing of asbestos and asbestos products is the surest and most effective strategy for eliminating these risks.

Montreal Gazette- August 28,1985
Province under
to reorgani asDesios industry
A planned reorganization of 0:0 iinaucially-traubied asbes tos industry by the Quebec govcr,;..ieni tss come under fire from oppoatioa politicians and the asbistas workers' union.
The union representing 725 workers to be laid off as part of tile plan said yesterday'the government has created an `employment disaster zone" without regard for the seniority of the affected workers.
Three of sir mines and two oi five milling installations in the asbestos mining region, 190 kilometres cast of Montreal, will be closed so the industry can be operated on a financially sound basis. Energy Minister Jcsn-Cuy Rodrigue said when he announced the plan Aug. 16.
The reorganization calls for a limited partnership of the three mining companies -- two of them provincially controlled -- to run the mines and pool sales
efforts. Asbestos Corp. will close its Beaver mine and Nor mandie treatment plant, while Lake Asbestos Ltd. will shut its National mine and m3i.
Asbestos Corp atuflake As
bestos Ltd, are owned by the government's bolding compa ny, the Societe oationale de l'amiante.
Asbestos Corp. will also close its King mine next year. The - new partnership will start with 53S million cash -- 40 per cent from the the government hold ing company and CO per cent from Lake Asbestos.
Rodrigue said he regretted the loss of 72S jobs, but the pooling'wouid protect 1,500.
"Nothing has been seen from the government respecting se niority and protecting workers who in some cases bavc given 25 years of their lives lo the' mines," the Confederation of National Trade Unions affiliate
said in a statement.
"Oa the other hand, workers
who have been employed for
five years are keeping their
jobs by virtue of the plan an
nounced by the minister."
j
The unions maintained the :
layoffs violate provincial labor ;
code clauses requiring new 1
owners of an enterprise to re- 1
sped.cootracts.
g
The union pointed out the g Thctford Mines area bad been jj
hard hit by unemployment and . that measures should be taken I
to softco the effects of (tie plan.
They suggested rather than lay- j
offs that older workers be given I
early retirement.
` Liberal energy critic Pierre
Fortier called the entire at- L
tempt to expropriate the indus
try an economic fiasco that ne
cessitated the reorganization -
plan. He called the new scheme
"an obvious setback."

Internal Correspondence
July 6, 1983
From: 1. D. Rlfih
Copies:
Subject: ASBESTOS FIBER CONTRACT RUBBER RINGS CONTRACT
1983
Fiber: Agreement states an $800 per Canadian ton. (This should be view as Hanville's opening bid;, Haxxville views it as price.)
Rubber Rings:
Price as set forth in Exhibit A to agreement. Hanville
must give a price at least as favorable as that given
to their other customers.
'
.
1984 thru 1987
Fiber: During the negotiation period of each year, if we receive an offer:
1. for asbestos fiber
2. of Canadian origin
3. of the same grade, quality and point value
4. at a lesser price than Hanville.
Then we must notify Hanville and if they fail to match our price within 15 days, we are free "....to purchase such quantity of asbestos fiber" at the lowest price subject to our duty of giving notice to Hanville of evidence of purchase. Prices are firm for the year.
Rubber Rings: During negotiation period, if J-M receives an offer to purchase rubber rings, of like grade and quality, at a
lesser price, it will notify Hanville. If Hanville is unable to meet the lower price, we are free to buy the quantity quoted by the third party at the lover price, with notice of the sales documents sent to Hanville.
(Please note; that the Fiber Contract purports to be governed by the Law of Quebec, for which I amseeking legal opinion on.)

Dear Paul:
It was a pleasure for me to meet you and to have had the opportunity of getting acquainted with William and Wilfred, as well as seeing Ernie again. Thanking you for making available the time and for the luncheon.
In order to clarify past misunderstandings, I am pleased to confirm again that JM Asbestos Inc. is a totally independent Canadian company, purchased in 1983 from Manville Corporation by a small group of senior management people - all residents of Canada. We have acquired all the shares, the property and the know-how of the Jeffrey Mine - which mines and mills asbestos fibre - and of an adjacent manufacturing plant which, among others, produces and markets rubber rings.
At the time of our purchase of the Jeffrey Mine (JM), we were automatically assigned and we accepted all the contractual obligations previously held by Johns-Manville Amiante Canada. Naturally, we never doubted that a similar understanding existed with the other parties to these contracts. Thus, we consider theoretically that-there exists an agreement between our two companies regarding your purchases of asbestos fibre.

However, let me repeat to you once again that this agreement should be understood merely as a basis of our future, long-time association. It will protect you in case of a fibre shortage (for whatever reason natural disasters, labor problems, etc.) and it asffords us the opportunity of selling you our fibre under reasonable competitive conditions.
We wish to be your major supplier of asbestos, we will not hide behind any legal papers, and we will provide you. the best service and the. best quality that we can produce and on which we have built our reputation. There is no substitute for a satisfied customer, and we look forward, to working with you as we would with any important asbestos user.
In closing, let me repeat again our cordial invitation for any of you to visit our mine at any time at your early convenience.
With best wishes.

RE: Tour Request for Quotation - December 5, 1986
Dear Paul,
.
I have made my-.annual pre-Christmas trip to the East Coast and have been advised that even" though some Canadian mills have talked about raising 4T and 5R prices, they have not done so, and have maintained 1986 prices through March 1987.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve you with your fiber requirements and would maintain the same prices for 1987 as we have had for 1986. That is:
Stockton -
4T - $460/S.T., FOB Mill 5R - 340/S.T.f FOB Mill
Denison -
4T - I390/S.T-. FOB Mill 5R - 300/S.T., FOB Mill
As discussed with you on December 18, 1986, we regret that we will be unable to ship to Denison until May 1987. After that time, we should be back on our normal schedule.
We look forward to working with you in 1987.
Yours.

Effects of Overexposure:
Acute - May cause eye and/or skin irritation.
Chronic -
Overexposure to asbestos can cause asbestosis. a scarring of the lungs. Pleural thickening, effusion, and plaques are nondisabling conditions, seen separately or together,' that have been associated with asbestos exposure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (1ARC) has determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcino genicity of asbestos in humans.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure:
Asbestosis is associated with symptoms of labored breathing, chest pain, weakness and chest tightness. Symptoms are not usually manifest__until 15-20 years after exposure.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Dermal
Inhalation
Ingestion
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Remove asbestos slivers from skin promptly. In case of eye irritation, gently rinse with water. If irritation persists, get medical help.
Special Note:
A medical surveillance program must be established for asbestos-exposed persons in accordance with the require ments of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's standard for asbestos (29 CFR Part 1910.1001).

Handling Asbestos filler
Protection from fire, absorption of heat from friction, high tensile strength as a reinforcing material, resis tance to corrosion and insulation from heat, cold and noise are among the properties of asbestos that result in its use h hundreds of industrial appfications and home products. Asbestos is the name given to a group of hydrated silicate minerals that are characterized by fibrous crystaization. Though asbestos is fairly common to the earth's crust., not all deposits are of commercial value. Because asbestos is fibrous and, in a certain range of sizes, can enter the lungs, maximum care should be taken to avoid exposure to asbestos dust and the hazards to health that can result
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
in ail stages of handfing -- packaging, transporting, unloading, storing, and in-part moving --asbestos fiber bags should be handled carefufly and in such a manner as to prevent damage of bags and the generation of diet Damaged bags should be immediately repaired, re sealed or put into closed receptacles. Any spUage of asbestos fiber should be cleaned uo immediately -- either by vacuum equipment or, after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping -- and should be deposited in suitable closed receptacles. Consult and observe OSHA regulations governing asbestos in the workplace; EPA rules on discharge to the-ambient air; and other local codes, rules or regulations controlling the handfing and use of asbestos fiber.
UNLOADING
-
Unitized loads should be fitted kitact to and from
holds of ships, and off and on land transport by
forktft trucks or other suitable handing equipment.
Care should be taken to avoid puncturing the asbestos fiber bags during unloading from ships, rail road cats, trucks or other modes of transportation. Hooks or other sharp instruments should not be used. Loose fiber accumulated during transit should be picked up by vacuum cleaner before unloading.
STORAGE
For storage, fiber bags should be stacked aid moved with care to avoid breakage; protected from puncture by moving vehicles; aid. If possible, should be isolated from traffic in the warehouse and covered to prevent dust generation. To prevent deterioration of stored bags, the principle of first-in, first-out should be followed.
HANDLING
.
Maximum possible enclosure and fully effective dust control systems should be provided at ad stages of h-ptant handing where dust is created, such as In bag opening, fiber dumping and bag disposal oper ations. Loose fiber should be cleaned from work areas by vacuum cleaner, or after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping, and then deposited in covered recep tacles.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wearing of respiratory equipment approved for pro tection against asbestos dust should be required at all stages of asbestos fiberhandfing where quantities of dust are generated which cannot be kept within
the permissible exposure limits by dust controlequipmenl or other methods.
TRANSPORT Where the use of asbestos requires the transport of
loose fiber in open carts or buggies, covers should be used to prevent spilling and dust generation.
WASTE MATERIALS
Waste materials, such as collected dust and empty fiber bags, should be placed in special dosed receptacles and disposed of in such a manner as to prevent the release of dust. Safety practices outfined above in the HANDUNG and PROTECTIVE EQUIP MENT sections should be followed during these operations.
All dust from exhaust systems should be collected and safety disposed of. being careful not to release dust into the outside dr. Particular attention should be paid to the protection of employees whose job it
is to cfcpose of collected dust from fabric filter dust collection and similar cleaning operations.

Section V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Effects of Overexposure:
Acute - May cause eye and/or skin irritation.
Chronic -
Overexposure to asbestos can cause asbestosis. a scarring of the lungs. Pleural thickening, effusion, and plaques are nondisabling conditions, seen separately or together, that have been associated with asbestos exposure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that there is sufficient evidence for the carcino genicity of asbestos in humans.
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure:
Asbestosis is associated with symptoms of labored breathing, chest pain, weakness and chest tightness. Symptoms are not usually manifest until 15-20 years after exposure.
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Dermal
Inhalation
Ingestion
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Remove asbestos slivers from skin promptly. In case of eye irritation, gently rinse with water. If irritation persists, get medical help.
Special Note:
A medical surveillance program must be established for asbestos-exposed persons in accordance with the require ments of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's standard for asbestos (29 CFR Part 1910.1001).

Handing Asbestos Flier
Protection from fire, absorption of heat from friction, high tensile strength as a reinforcing material, resis tance to corrosion and insulation from heat, cold and noise are among the properties of asbestos that rest# in its use in hundreds of industrial appfications and home products.
Asbestos Is the name given to a group of hydrated sificate minerals that are characterized by fibrous crystaSzation. Though asbestos is fairly common to the earth's crust., not all deposits are of commercial value. Because asbestos is fibrous and, in a certain range of sizes, can enter the lungs, maximum care Should be taken to avoid exposure to asbestos dust and the hazards to health that can result.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
In al stages of handling -- packaging, transporting, unloading, storing, and in-part moving --asbestos fiber bags should be handled carefully and in sue* a manner as to prevent damage of bags and the generation of dust.
Oanaged bags should be immediately repaired, re seated or put into dosed receptacles. Any spillage of asbestos fiber should be cleaned up immediately -- either by vacuum equipment or. after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping -- and should be deposited in suitable closed receptacles.
Consult and observe OSHA regulations governing asbestos in the workplace: EPA rules on discharge to the anbient air: and other local codes, rules or regulations controlling the handling and use of asbestos liber.
UNLOADING
Unitized loads should be fitted intact to and from holds of ships, and off and on land transport by forVfift trucks or other suitable handing equipment.
Care should be taken to avoid puncturing the asbestos fiber bags during unloading from ships, rail road cars, trucks or other modes of transportation. Hordes or other sharp instruments should not be used. Loose fiber accumulated during transit should be picked up by vacuum cleaner before unloading.
STORAGE
For storage, fiber bags should be stacked and moved with care to avoid breakage; protected from puncture by moving vehicles; and, if possible, should be isolated from traffic in the warehouse and covered to prevent dust generation. To prevent deterioration of stored bags, the principle of first-in, first-out should be followed.
HANDLING
Maximum possible enclosure and fully effective dust control systems should be provided at all stages of in-plant handling where dust is created, such as in bag opening, fiber dumping and bag disposal oper ations. Loose fiber should be cleaned from work areas by vacuum cleaner, or after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping, and then deposited in covered recep tacles.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wearing of respiratory equipment approved for pro tection against asbestos dust should be required at al stages of asbestos fiber handling where quantities of dust are generated .which cannot be kept within the permissible exposure fimits by dust controlequipment or other methods.
TRANSPORT
Where the use of asbestos requires the transport of loose fiber in open carts or buggies, covers should be used to prevent spiffing and dust generation.
WASTE MATERIALS
Waste materials, such as collected dust and empty fiber bags, should be placed in special closed receptacles and disposed of in such a manner as to prevent the release of dust. Safety practices outlined above in the HANDLING and PROTECTIVE EQUIP MENT sections should be followed during these operations.
AH dust from exhaust systems should be collected and safely disposed of. being careful not to release dust mto the outside air. Particular attention should be paid to the protection of employees whose job it is to dispose of collected dust from fabric fitter dust collection and similar cleaning operations.

Any spiBage of asbestos fiber should be cleaned up immediately -- either by vacuum equipment or, after thoroughly wetting, by sweeping -- and should be deposited in suitable closed receptacles. Consult and observe OSHA regulations governing asbestos in the workplace; EPA rules on discharge to the ambient air; and other local codes, rules or regulations controlfing the handing and use of asbestos fiber.
UNLOADING
Unitized bads should be ifted intact to and from holds of ships, and off and on land transport by forkfft trucks or other suitable handing equipment.
Care shoiid be taken to avoid puncturing the asbestos fS>er bags during unloading from ships, rail road cars, bucks or other modes of transportation. Hooks or other sharp instruments should not be used. Loose fiber accumulated during transit should be picked up by vacuum cleaner before unloading.
STORAGE For storage, fiber bags should be stacked and moved with care to avoid breakage; protected from puncture by moving vehicles; and, if possble, should be isolated from traffic b the warehouse'and covered to prevent dust generation. To prevent deterioration of stored bags, the principle of ftrst-tn, first-out should be folowed.
HANDLING
Maximum possible enclosure and fully effective dust control systems should be provided at aB stages of in-plant handing where dust Is created, such as in bag opening, fiber dumping and bag disposal operations. Loose fiber should be cleaned from work areas by vacuum cleaner, or after thoroughly wetttng. by sweeping, and then deposited in covered recep tacles.

A/C PIPE
- SECTION-XI HEALTH HAZARDS - DESCRIPTIONS AND SYMPTOMS
SILICOSIS,
A disease dee to breathing air containing anatomically by generalized fibrocic changes adulations in both lungs.
crystalline silica, characterized and the development, of miliary
The symptoms include gradually increasing difficulty in breathing and nonuroductive cough, shortness of breath, decreased chest expansion, lessened capacity for stork, absence of fever, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis.
ASBESTOSIS
This is a chronic lung disease in which the lungs become scarred as a result
of the biological reaction to inhaled asbestos. Damage to the lungs is irreversible
and progressively disabling.
'.
Affected individuals experience shortness of breath on .exertion. Examining physicians may note a bluish color of the lips and tongue, an alteration in the nails, and near crackles at the base of the lungs- The chest x-ray is found to have an increase in the profusion of small irregular opacities and deterioration may be noted in tests of lung function.
Although asbestosis does not n.ecessariiy lead to lung cancer, individuals with this disease are at high risk to develop cancer.
Mesothelioma
This is a malignant tumor of the thin membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities. It is an -extremely rare cancer in the general papulation and is almost invariably associated with asbestos exposure. It is a rapidly progressive disease - leading to death within a year or two of appearance.
The first symptom may be shortness of breath or pain in the wall of the chest aggravated by deep breathing or abdominal pain varying from vague discomfort to severe spasms-
Pleural Plaoues
The rdeura are the membranes lining the chest cavity. Asbestos fibers reaching this cavity may produce scarring of these membranes. This is visible in the chest x-ray as a pleural thickening. If calcium salts become deposited in these areas, then pleural plaques are produced. Pleural thickening is a common complication of pulmonary asbestosis and these x-ray signs are often used as markers of asbestos exposure.
JMM 00000320
A/C PIPE
Lung Czacer
. The symptoms include a cough, or a change in the cough habit, chest pain, and - occasionaily blood-streaked sputum coughed up from the lungs.
The asbesics-related lung cancer occurs more frequently in the lower lobes.
Initial diagnosis is by chest 2-ra.y.
SECTION xn
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ASBESTOS-CONTAINING PIPES
(Hygienic Practices)
'
Tn case of cutting or beveling asbestos-cement pines, all hand nr power--operated
tools which may produce or release asbestos fibers should be provided with
local exhaust ventilation systems.
Asbestos-containing material should be handled in a wet state sufficient to
prevent the emission of airborne fibers.
'
Workers engaged in the demolition of asbestos-containing pipes should be provided with appropriate respiratory equipment approved by the Bureau of Mines or . the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Eealth and special clothing such as' coveralls or similar whole body clothing.
Asbestos-containing waste should be collected and disposed' of in sealed impermeable bags, or other closed, impermeable contaiaera-

Re: J-M To Cease Manufacture Of Asbestos Cement (A/C) Pipe Products Effective: May 31, 1988
:
i
Because the use of A/C pipe products has declined drastically over the
past few years, J-M will cease to manufacture these products on May 31,
1988 at Denison, Texas.
J
' ;
J-M has attempted to supply A/C pipe in a declining market while i
simultaneously producing sufficient volume pec producing plant to remain
economically viable.
For this reason, the Stockton, California A/C j
facility was shut down in June of 1987 uith Denison, Texas remaining as j
the sole A/C pipe producing facility in the J-M organization. As
markets further declined, Denison production decreased from five days to ;
three and Chen finally to two. to produce-
at which point it
is no longer economical
j.
J
I
The decision to cease production was made only after very, very careful j.
and thoughtful evaluation of all factocs involved, including our loyal j
employees at Denison-
It vas a difficult decision, but the declining |
market left us no choice.
|
| For those of you who are currently active with J-M A/C products, our ;
personnel will closely coordinate with you to implement our withdrawal .'
from the marketplace inas orderly a manner as possible.
i-
A/C products have served th.e American public for a long, long time and j we sincreiy appreciate the business that we have had with you over the j
years.

NEWS RELEASE
Bulletin
J-M A/C Pipe Co. announced today its decision to cease
PRODUCTION OF ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE AT ITS DENISON, TEXAS FACILITY IN LATE NaY, 1988. THE PLANT WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE AT ITS CURRENT LEVEL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO ASSURE OUR CUSTOMERS AND OUR EMPLOYEES AN ORDERLY TERMINATION OF
THE J-M A/C PIPE BUSINESS.
The decision to cease production of A/C pipe by J-ft is a RESULT OF DECLINING MARKET CONDITIONS, J~M's ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE PRODUCTION HAS BEEN REDUCED BY OVER 75 PERCENT IN THE
PAST FEW YEARS AND IS CONTINUING TO DECLINE.
The ASBESTOS CEMENT pipe operation was formerly owned by
Johns-Manyille and
began
operation
in
1958.
During
Johns-Manyille bankruptcy proceedings in 1932, the Denison
PLANT AND SEVEN OTHER PIPE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES WERE
sold to J-M Manufacturing Co., Inc.
The asbestos cement closure at Denison will not affect the
PVC pipe operation co-located at the Denison plant.
The
reduced operation at Denison will affect approximately
one-half of the 180 people now employed.

Dear Sir:
It is with mixed emotions that J-M Manufacturing announces that our Stockton, California facility will cease production of our Asbestos Cement (A/Cl pipe, effective July 1, 1987. However, our A/C pipe production will be consolidated and continued at our Dension, Texas plant.
The move to consolidate is due to many economic considerations in line
with the general decline of the A/C pipe market.
--
We would like to express pur genuine appreciation to yon and your firm with whom we have enjoyed an excellent business relationship. We would also like to thank you for your support during our years of A/C production and hope sincerely that your firm will continue to your support through the end of June 1987 with regards to our Stockton, California facility's needs.
Sincerely,

Subject : ASBESTOS THRESHOLD EXPOSURE LEVEL
Asbestos is a known animal and human carcinogen.
It has been listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency as a hazardous air pollutant. The California
Air Resources Board has recently reconmended its
listing as a toxic air contaminant. It should be
further noted that there is not sufficient available
scientific evidence to support the identification
of an exposure level below which carcinogenic effects
would not occur.
.
Since no threshold exposure level (helow which no significant adverse health effects are expected to occur) can be established, plant workers exposed to the asbestos environment (regardless of the current airborne asbestos concentrations) are required to wear.their suitable respirators all tbe time.

SECTION XI HEALTH HAZARDS - DESCRIPTIONS AND SYMPTOMS
SILICOSIS
.
A disease due to breathing air containing crystalline silica, characterized anatomically by generalized fibratic changes and the development of miliary nodillations in both lungs.
The symptoms include gradually increasing difficulty in hreatbing and non-productive cough, shortness of breath, decreased chest expansion, lessened capacity for work, absence of fever, and increased susceptibility to tuberculosis.
ASBESTOSIS
This is a chronic lung disease in which the lungs become scarred as a result
of the biological reaction to inhaled asbestos. Damage to the lungs is irreversible
and progressively disabling.
.
Affected, individuals experience shortness of breath on exertion. Examining
physicians may note a bluish color of the lips nnH tongue, an alteration in the
nails, and hear crackles at the base of the lungs. The chest x-ray is found to
have an increase in the profusion of small irregular opacities and deterioration
may he noted in tests at lung function.
-
Although asbestosis does, not necessarily lead to lung cancer, individuals with
this disease are at high risk to develop cancer.
'
Mesothelioma
' .
This is a malignant tumor of the thin membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities. It is an -extremely rare cancer in the general population and is almost invariably associated with asbestos exposure. It is a rapidly progressive disease leading to death within a year or two of appearance.
The first symptom may he shortness of breath or pain in the wall of the chest
aggravated by deep breathing or abdominal pain varying from vague discomfort
to severe spasms.
.
Pleural Plaques
The pleura are the membranes lining the chest cavity. Asbestos fibers reaching
this cavity may produce scarring of these membranes. This is visible in the
chest x-ray as a pleural thickening. If calcium salts become deposited in these
areas, then. pleural plaques are produced. Pleural thickening is a common
complication of pulmonary asbestosis and these x-ray signs are often used as
markers of asbestos exposure.
.
JMM 00000341
A/C PIPE
Lung Cancer
'_
'
The symptoms include a tough, or a change in the cough habit, chest pain, and - occasionally blood-streaked sputum coughed from the lungs.
The asbestos-related lung cancer occurs more frequently in the lower lobes.
Tnirial diagnosis is by chest x-ray.
-
SECTION X0
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ASBESTOS-CONTAINING PIPES
` (Hygienic PracticesJ
'
In case of cutting or beveling asbestos-cement pipes, all hand -or power--operated tools which may produce or release asbestos fibers. should be provided with local exhaust ventilation systems.
Asbestos-containing material should be handled in a vet state sufficient to prevent the emission of airborne fibers.
Workers engaged in the demolition of asbestos-containing pipes should, be provided
with appropriate respiratory equipment approved by the Bureau of Mines or
. the National Institute for Occupational Safdty and Health and special clothing
such as coveralls or similar whole body clothing. 1'
,.
. Asbestos-containing waste should be collected and disposed of in sealed impermeable bags, or other closed, impermeable containers.

JMM 00000348
BASIC SAFETY PROGRAM
I. Purpose:
The purpose of this program is to effectively guide the company employees in the pursuit of safety. Efforts directed to reduce accidents will succeed only to the degree that all management personnel apply the principle that safety is an operating responsibility and demands the same executive direction and control given to increasing efficiency of production.
II. Supervisor Activities -- ;BASXC;
Specific safety functions are assigned to supervisors. They are designed to involve the supervisor in all areas of the program Because it is only through their active participation and support that the program can be successful. These activities can be related to the acronym BAS I C, indicating they are fundamental, but essential to- the program. They are:
B-Basic Training
A-Accident Investigation
-
S-Safety Meetings
I--Inspections
C-Counseling Individual Employees
. Basic Training:
Supervisors are required to participate in an indoctrination program for new employees. The
purpose is to make certain that the employee receives the necessary information to begin work. Training progress of new employees must be closely monitored by supervisors to insure
the employee is performing the job as in structed and doing it safely. This orienta tion checklist will become a permanent part of
the personnel file.
- Accident Investigation:
Supervisors will conduct -investigations of all
injuries to their employees. The Accident
Investigation Report will be completed to in
clude corrective action taken, and forwarded
to the plant manager for review within two
days. The safety officer will maintain
accident report files.
.
The responsibility to conduct an accident
investigation is one which cannot be taken
lightly. The reason is obvious! It is the
only way to systematically establish all the
facts concerning how and why an accident
occurred, and then take action to prevent
a recurrence.
'
This responsibility lies with the immediate supervisor of the injured employee. His job is to gather all available information from the injured employee, witnesses,- the scene, etc. then apply his experience in evaluating that information and report his idea of what happened,
how it happened, why it happened and what has
been done to prevent a recurrence.
--4--
JMM 00000349
Followin'! are some basics on how to get the facts:
1. Remind the employee of the investigation's purpose. If the employee is afraid of ridicule, reprimand, etc.,' he probably will not help in identifying the facts. He must understand the purpose is NOT to find fault.
2. Let the employee tell his/her story at the scene. His story should include what he was doing, how he was doing it and what happened. Let him complete his story without interruption.
3. Ask questions. The supervisor must be sure he clears up any misunderstandings.
4. Check understanding. The supervisor should describe the accident as he understands it, checking key points.
5. Discuss how to prevent recurrence. The supervisor must cover specifically what needs to be done to prevent recurrence. Here the employee's opinion could be valuable. This step must be covered to conclude a useful accident investigation.
Safety Meetings:
Supervisors are required to hold safety meetings
regularly for their employees. Prepared safety talks will be distributed periodically. Super
visors are encouraged to present information
applicable to their employees' jobs, hazards,
injury experience, etc.
'
'
Inspections:
Each supervisor is expected to conduct a planned inspection on his areas of responsibility at least once a week. These inspections are to be conducted for each shift". A summary of the inspection results will be forwarded to the plant manager.
It is important that the supervisors ' weekly
inspection be planned, not incidental. By
incidental, it means just keeping our eyes
'
open for unsafe acts or conditions. This type
or inspection should be taking place continuously.
The planned inspection is deliberate and thorough.
When the supervisor sets out on the inspection,
he has in mind out-of-the--wav areas to check,
specific tools, machines, or processes;specific
conditions to look for, etc. Nothing is left
to chance.
-5JMM 00000350
Counseling of Individual Employees; From time to time, it is necessary to counsel employees on an individual basis tor various reasons (unsafe acts, injury, adherence to safety rules, etc.) The topic of discussion should always have specific application for the individual counseled. This feature of the pro gram helps to reinforce with employees manage ment's committment to safety.

JMM 00000351
POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES
. It is the Company*s policy that all employees accept personal responsibility for the successful operation of the safety program as outlined below.
I. Plant Manager:
As part of the cooperative effort to reduce needless waste and personal injury, plant managers will manage the devel
opment of a practical and effective safety program.
It shall be their responsibility to maintain an interest and participate in accident control through (1) review and action of accident control records, (2) review of recommendations submitted by the safety inspectors, and appropriate cor rective action taken by the managers, and J3) issue letters and bulletins concerning accident prevention problems as required.
II- Personnel Or Employee Relations Manager:
It is the responsibility of the personnel manager to assure that planned safety is observed by issuing instructions to all supervisors, holding them responsible for preventing
all accidents, and requiring them to comply with all pro visions of the safety program by (1) maintenance of the
accident.record and reporting system, (2) maintenance of
interested participation in safety through regular atten dance at safety meetings, and (3) initiation of corrective
action in response to safety recommendations.
III. Safety Officer/Supervisor:
It is the job of the. safety officer/supervisor to effectively
administer the safety program to the working employee by . Cl) review and supervision of the use of the accident report and investigation form, (2) maintenance of the Accident Record summary, (3) preparing the necessary insurance and regulatory jurisdictional reports for transmittal to the manager, 14J filing-and keeping custody of all job accident records, and (5) controlling and supervising dispensing of safety equipments.
IV. Foreman:
All foremen are an integral part of safety work and the amount of effort they expend toward accident prevention in their daily assignments helps determine whether or not a good safety record is established. The'responsibilities
of the foreman include (1) instructing personnel under
his supervision in safe work practices and work methods at the time they are given work assignments, (2) determining
that all personnel have the proper protective equipment and suitable tools for the job before starting work ana that
it is used, (3) constantly checking to see that no unsafe
Rractices or conditions are allowed to exist anywhere under is jurisdiction. (4) setting a good example for his men,
(5) acquainting his men with the safety requirements and
insuring that they are enforced, (6) making a complete
.

CONTROL OF SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
Positive controls should be accomplished to assure that all
areas and . equipment are properly maintained and free from
easily recognizable hazards.
"'
Supervisory personnel should be required to inspect, work areas and equipment on a scheduled Dasis and to correct all deficiencies noted. Reports of the inspection results
' should be made and sent to the safety officer.
Maximum use should be made of. technical specialists pro
vided by th^ casualty and fire-insurance carriers** the State
labor and. Health Department . and related agencies. Dis- .
-tribution of recommendations developed by these agencies will
be directed to the supervisor in charge*'with a formal'- .
?
follow-up procedure being established.
i-
JMM 00000354
TRACKING AMD SUPERVISION OF EMPLOYEES
Since many industrialaccidents are caused by unsafe acts and they are related directly to the lack of adequate job training, supervisory personnel will be required to thoroughly train and supervise each new or transferred employee in proper job performance and safety requirements. Rules and procedures should be established and posted for safe performance at all job sites.
Immediate supervisors should evaluate driving techniques in the proper equipment along with vehicle maintenance proce dures for all personnel who drive or operate company vehicles or equipment. Deficiency should be reported and corrected immediately.
Driver records should be maintained for all drivers of motor vehicles in order that special training or assistance may be provided promptly where needed. Short safety meetings should be held on a regular scheduled basis, at which time various pertinent safety.subjects will be discussed.
-10-
JMM 00000355
SAFETY INSPECTIONS
Safety Inspection is another method of detecting potential accident causes. Safety inspection includes observing work operations, material ana. equipment usage, and the working environment in general. These inspections are a continuous part of all supervisory duties; they are a daily' requirement of supervisory responsibilities for planning, observing and instructing -his men. Meaningful safety inspections are the result of the supervisor's ability to recognize unsafe acts or conditions. This ability can be developed by applying common sense safety principals to the knowledge of work operations, and by knowing why past accidents happened. It can easily be. seen why accident reports and investigations ate essential to the safety program. The mistakes of the past are the knowledge of the future.
-11-
JMM 00000356
SAFETY MEETINGS
I. Monthly Meetings:
A general safety meeting attended by all supervisors,'
"
foremen and their men shall be conducted by the safety
officer each month. A. specific topic should be selec
ted and prepared for presentation prior to the meeting. If
desired, foremen or supervisors may be assigned presentation
duties. The following should be made a part of all monthly
meetings:
A. Discussions of all accidents and near misses occurring since the prior meetings should be held and corrective' recommendations formulated.
.
B. Progress toward recommendations adopted at prior months meetings shall be reviewed.
C. Minutes of all meetings should be recorded to aid in monitoring progress and for Division superintendents review.
II. Weekly Supervisors Meetings:
A short safety meeting should be conducted weekly by each
supervisor. All such meetings should include the follow
ing:
*
A. Each meeting should concern a specific topic relative to work either current or to be under taken in the near future.
B. Employees should be given the opportunity to contribute to the meeting with either sugges tions or observations.
C. A report of the meeting should be signed by the supervisor and forwarded to the safety officer.
III. Special Meetings:

BASICS OF ACCIDENT PREVEHTIOH
An accident is an unforeseen or unplanned event that may or may not result in personal injury or property damage. Accidents are caused by mistakes, and these mistakes are either unsafe acts or unsafe conditions, or a combination of the two. Although, not every accident results in damage or injury, each is a warning that a danger exists. Any accident may occur several times before an injury results, but the supervisor must not let a condition go unchecked. He must first find out why it happened, even though it may appear minor at the moment. His supervisor's responsibility is to remedy hazardous acts or conditions before someone gets hurt.
Basic accident causes include: failure to understand in struction, failure to give adequate instructions, disregard of safety rules, and lack of concentration on the job. Knowing these basic causes, the supervisor should then determine the unsafe conditions ana unsafe acts that caused the accident and then plan to prevent a recurrence as soon as possbile. The supervisor should determine the problem area and correct it before it happens.

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Investigation of accidents is an essential part of any safety program. The investigation of accidents is not made for the purpose of placing blame on someone, but to ascertain the facts in order to prevent other accidents from the same
cause.
Each accident should be investigated by the supervisor in
charge. fie should look for the following:
(a) (b) jc| (d)
The true cause of the accident
The action taken to prevent recurrence
-.>
The extent of the injury or damage
Names of witnesses, if applicable, or available
The "Supervisor's Accident Investigation Report Form" should be completed for ail accidents. Knowing the cause of the
accident is valuable only if this knowledge leads to success ful elimination. Corrective action is the most vital part
of accident investigation. If such is not taken, the in vestigation is both pointless and incomplete.
The right remedy, and most economical one being-applied, is essential to the success of an accident investigation. A repetition of a similar accident may indicate that the
previous remedy was ineffective or that the cause found was not the fundamental one.
Once the problem is determined, corrective action should be immediate; therefore, the signing of the investigator's name places a sense of responsibility upon the investigator to give both serious and cull attention to the completion of the report. The safety officer will review the Investi
gation Report for accuracy and completeness. If he is not satisfied, he will direct that further effort must be made.
Determining causes of accidents often indicates means which will prevent reoccurrences. When an accident occurs, the
following steps are to be taken:
1. All employees must be instructed to report - all injury accidents to their foreman.
2. The foreman shall properly complete the supervisor's Investigation Report Form ana submit it to his supervisor.
3. A copy of the Supervisor's Investigation Report Form should be forwarded to the Safety Officer.for his information and
- use in monitoring the safety program.
Accident reports should be viewed as an informational tool rather than a mere administrative duty. The purpose of an accident report is to assist the supervisor in determining problem areas in his work operation- The problem may be a particular piece of equipment, or an unsafe procedure, or an individual in need of instruction. Whatever the problem,
the accident report, along with a thorough accident investi gation, will aid the supervisor in making his area of responsibility a safe one.

This program provides guidelines for protecting J-M A/C Pipe Corporation employees* health from exposure to asbestos and complying with the OSHA asbestos standard, 29 CFR 1910.1001 effective July 1, 1976. (See also Section
XX).
XX.
Permissible Exposure level (PET.)
.
No employee may be exposed to asbestos at concentrations in excess of:
A. 2 fibers/cubic centimeter (f/cc) of air averaged over an 8-hour time period.
B. lOf/cc ceiling concentration averaged over a time
period not exceeding 15 minutes.
.
C. It is J-M's policy to reduce fiber levels to the lowest feasible concentration.
III. Methods of Compliance
A- Employee exposure to asbestos at or below the PEL must be controlled as follows:
1. Feasible engineering controls such as isolation,
enclosure, local exhaust ventilation, and dust
collection.
'
2. Work practices including good housekeeping, vacuum cleaning of deposited dusts, wet cleaning, taping holes in fiber bags, etc. to prevent the emission of airborne fibers.- A clean up situation should involve wet methods.
3. Administrative procedures, principally, rotating employees to less dusty jobs.
4. Use of respirators only when engineering or ad ministrative procedures are not feasible. How ever, respirators will be provided to those employees who request to use them.
IV.
Employee Monitoring
A. Each A/C pipe manufacturing location must administer an asbestos exposure monitoring program which, as a minimum, will meet the following requirements: . . .

b. Environmental monitoring should be done to de- ' termine fiber levels in general areas of the plant. This type of sampling can also provide an indication of background fiber levels.
c. Initial monitoring should be done when a new operation is installed.
d. Follow up sampling should be done when any changes, minor or major, are made to equipment or when the regular sampling program discloses fiber levels which are higher than expected.
3. Employee exposures must be evaluated whenever there is reason to believe that an increase in asbestos exposure may occur as a result of production, process or control changes, or other reasons such as through out any fiber clean-up procedure.
4. Engineering samples taken in specific areas near
machinery can help determine if engineering controls
are effective, or are required.
*
5. Samples should be analyzed within 10 working days of the exposure monitoring.
6. If any employee's exposure is determined to exceed' 0.5f/cc then follow-up samples should be taken on that employee within 14 days of the initial deter mination .
B. All plant monitoring results will be forwarded to the individual plant concerned, with a copy to the Corporate Environmental Control Department, within 5 working days of fiber counting completion.
C. Employees or their designated representatives must be provided a reasonable opportunity to observe the moni
toring and measuring.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROGRAM
I. Introduction:
Noise is defined as, at least, an unwanted and, at most, a destructive sound. Noise can affect not only Nearing but also other bodily functions. Noise acts upon the body very much as other stresses do. Routine exposure to intensified industrial noise may lead to chronic physiological disturbances. The wider effects of noise are considered highly controversial, and the present American standards are based only on the effects of noise on hearing.
II. Objectives:
To control or reduce exposure to excessive noise in the workplace and comply with the OSHA Occupational Noise Exposure Standard, 29 CFR 1910.95 (a) through (b). (See also Sec. VI)
III. Noise Exposure Limitations:
A. Continuous Noise;
Employee must not be exposed to the noise in excess of the sound levels shown below;
Permissible Noise Exposure

If the variations in noise level involve peaks at intervals of 1 second or less, it is considered as continuous noise.
-28-
JMM 00000373
B. Impul.se/Impact Noise:
Exposures to impulsive or impact noise must not exceed
140 dB peak sound pressure level.
'
XV- Engineerinq/Administrative Controls:
A. Requirement:
When employees are subjected to sound exceeding the re gulated level, feasible engineering or administrative controls must be used to reduce the noise.
B. Documentation;
It is important to fully document all administrative and engineering efforts to reduce noise levels, including costs. If such efforts fail to reduce noise to'the re gulated levels, the documentation can be used in defense of OSHA citations on the grounds of infeasibility.
V. Hearing Protection:
If engineering or administrative efforts fail to reduce employee noise exposures to less than the permissible exposures, the employees must be provided hearing pro tectors and their use be enforced.
VI. Remarks:
If the occupational noise exposure standard is regulated
by the more stringent State or Local organizations in certain
states having approved state plans, it is the intent'of this
Company to comply fully with all applicable State/Local
regulations.

JMM 00000374
HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM
I. Introduction:
This program must be administered whenever an employee's noise exposure equals or exceeds an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) sound level of 85 dB measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter.
II. Objectives:
To protect employees hearing and comply with the OS HA Hearing Conservation Standard, 29 CFR 1910.95 (c) through (p). (see also Sec. V)
III. Exposnre Monitoring:
A. When information indicates that any employee's exposure may equal or exceed the Action Level (i.e., an 8-hour TWA of 85dBA), a monitoring
program must be developed and implemented.
B. Representative personal sampling must be used when there is any question that the exposure might equal or exceed the action level, and
when the noise levels vary greatly or the po sition being monitored is highly mobile.
C. All continuous, intermittent, and impulsive
sound levels from 80 dB to 130 dB mast be
.
integrated into the noise measurements. Audio
dosimeters used for monitoring must be designed
.and set to measure from 80 dB.
D. Instruments. used to measure employee noise exposure must be calibrated prior to and following exposure measurements.
'
E. Monitoring must be repeated whenever a change in production, process, equipment, or controls increases noise exposure to the extent that (11 additional employees may be exposed at or above the action level, or (21 the attenuation pro vided by hearing protection being used by employees may be rendered inadequate.
F. Each employee exposed at or above an 8-hour TWA of 85 dB must be notified of the results of
the monitoring.
G. Employees or their representatives, must be pro vided with the opportunity to observe exposure monitoring being conducted.
IV. Hearing Protectors r
A. Requirements for protectors:
1. Hearing protectors must be made available to all employees exposed to an 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA or greater.
-30-
JMM 00000375
2- Hearing protectors must be provided and replaced as necessary at no cost to the employee, except that reasonable local policies- may be established requiring payment for replacement protectors resulting from the irresponsible behavior of employees.
3. The wearing of heating protectors must be enforced when the employee is exposed to an 8-hour TWA of 90 a BA or greater.
4. Where the use of hearing protectors is mandatory, every effort must be made, including disciplinary procedures as necessary, to insure that the employee wear the protectors.
B. Selection;
Proper selection of hearing protection must pro vide for adequate attenuation, minimal discomfort and prevention of ear infection. Environmental work conditions such as dust, grease, temperature, . humidity, etc. may dictate the choice of a pro tector. If the protector is uncomfortable, it is not likely to be worn properly. For these reasons, a limited variety or types of hearing protectors may be required to ensure that adequate protection is provided.
C. Fitting Hearing Protectors;
Each employee provided hearing protectors must be individually fitted with a hearing protector. If a change in protector type'is made, refitting must be conducted.
Remarks
If the hearing conservation program is regulated by the more stringent State or Local organizations in certain states having approved state plans, it is the intent of this Company to comply fully with all applicable State/ Local regulations.
