FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE, INC., E-210 ROUTE U, PARAMOS, N.J. 07652 B TT j IN iT 0. 6 C S September 13, 1977 SUBJECT: An Exxon Company presentation concerning the handling of asbestos. Mr. Ike Weaver of Raybestos-Manhattan recently sent me a copy of a paper by Dr. Harvey B. Snyder of the Exxon Company which appeared in the Medical Bulletin. Dr. Snyder discussed some background on asbestos along with a description of some of the physical characteristics of asbestos fibers. He also wrote further on clinical asbestosis with some theories on the pathogenesis of asbestos. Following Dr. Snyder's presentation, the Exxon Company presented recommendations for the handling of asbestos. I have copied a few pages from this article as it appeared in the Medical Bulletin and am enclosing it for your information. There are recommendations concerning the use of protective dust respirators when working with asbestos products. While most handling of asbestos has been covered in the OSHA standards there appears to be a logical classification of asbestos-containing materials in which friction materials are placed in Group Number V. After classification of friction articles in this group the Exxon presentation shows Table II with guides for the use of respiratory protection equipment. In particular this involves grinding, sanding, cutting, drilling, banding, riveting, and application of friction materials. It indicates type of respirator to be used depending on the operation. Following this is a list of the names and addresses of manufacturers and/or distributors of certain types of respiratory protection equipment. In addition, this paper Included a listing of British sources of dust respirators. This enclosed information may be of help to you and your customers as regards recommended respirator usage in working with friction materials. CC: Active Members - List C Regional Members E. W.

Various Exxon af filiates have taken positive action limiting the use of and requiring substitutes for asbestos-containing materials including talc, asbestos insulation materials (all high temperature insulation ra.? be assumed to be asbestos or contain 3% or more asbestos as a binaer), asbestos fire blankets, etc. However, asbestos has been used for many years and its presence will be noticed each time insulcilot must be removed, during turnaround work and sometimes in rew construction when asbestos insulation is the only suitable material. At scheduled turnaround, the breaking of insulation and reins'..tiling same after piping completions, etc. will entail some exposure to asbestos fibers. Despite the existence of widespread knowledge concerning the potential health hazards of this material, there is significant varia tion in control measures in effect at the operating affiliates. As a result, Exxon Corporation Medical Department has issued a Policy on the control of asbestos as a guide to the elimination or reduction to minimal levels in the use of asbestos in new construction where possible and to establish procedures for the handling of asbestos- containing material already in use. The following work practices are recommended: . (1) Asbestos-containing cements, mortars, coatings, grout and plaster should be mixed in closed bags or other containers. Manufacturers have high temperature mortars packed in plastic bags so that water can be added directly to the bags through a spout and moistened before opening. Moistened mortar is removed as required and mixing is completed in the shipping container. All waste is replaced in this container and sent to disposal at the end of the shift. FMSI 03383 v (2) Removal of asbestos insulation or ripping-off procedures must be done in a manner which will minimize scatter, dusting or dispersion of asbestos. After removing the wire clips'and bands holding the jacket, and the jacket from the insulation, the su.face insulation should be wetted. A plastic sheet placed below the piping or struclure will serve subsequent clean-up. As many large pieces should be removed as feasible to minimize the number of cuts required. (3) All waste insulation should be placed in dust-proof bags and all clean-up of asbestos dust shall be performed by vacuum cleaners or by wet cleaning methods. No dry sweeping should be allowed. (4) There should be no spraying of asbestos material without precautions to limit the spread of ovcrspray. (5) Where possible, restrict movement into areas where asbestos dust is being generated by roping and signs which read "Keep Out--Authorized Entry Only." (6) Special protective clothing should be provided to employees working in areas where asbestos dust is being generated. Care should be exercised in laundering and other handling of con taminated clothing. Effective July 1, 1976 the OSH A time weighted average (8-hour) standard for asbestos is 2 fibers (>5jrm in length) per ml of air. A i5-minute ceiling limit of 10 fibers (>5urn/ml) also applies. Since air monitoring may not always be possible the approximate guide in Table II has been prepared as an aid to respirator selection. However, whenever there is any doubt whether these recommenda tions are adequate or where air monitoring data is available, respirators should he selected to insure that exposure does not exceed recommended standards. Air monitoring techniques to determine concentrations recom mended in the standard require some sophisticated equipment and skill. Accordingly to minimize exposures, a scries of procedures are recommended in lieu of air monitoring. These are as follows: All persons within the work area shall wear personal respiratory protective equipment selected on the basis of potential airborne concentrations of asbestos dust exceeding a TWA limit of 2 fibcrs/ml as time weighted average with a ceiling limit of 10 fibers/ml. - -Respirators supplied for the specific application should be cleaned of disposed, maintained and serviced regularly. When not in use they should be stored in dust proof containers, e.g., a sealed plastic bag. The following classification has been adopted for the purpose of recommending appropriate respirators for the type of asbestos material involved in each operation (See Table 1).
