\ ; July 26 y 19?4 _ INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SURVEY SHERWIN ALUMINA PLANT - MARCH 24-29, 1974 Attached is the belated Industrial Hygiene Survey of ycur plant. I apologize for this being late but I felt it appropriate that the plant institute certain changes prior to its issuance. Also, the questionable free silica problem which arose with regard to ambient air samples collected in bauxite transfer operations took longer to resolve than expected. I hope that you find this report useful and hope that I can be of further assistance to you at Sherwin. Also. I will send the information on purchasing the appropriate sampling equipment after you have an opportunity to review this report and can see the direction that I feel we should take. Again, thank you v ery much for your ccoperati.on and the cor.siderat shown to me by the Sherwin Plant. Give my regards to all. Yours truly. h'MC/mfj ENCLOSURE /4 H. M.

Following are the results of that survey: ITEM 1 - Asbestos - Asbestos samples collected during the demo lition of insulating material from several reactor vessels.indicate non-compliance with present OSHA guidelines. See discussion. ITEM 2 - Total Airborne Dust - Results of total airborne dust samples collected in the bauxite transfer tunnels and at alumina loading and unloading operations indicate non compliance with OSHA regulations. Although a good respiratory protection program is in effect in most areas much needs to be done with regard to the engineering aspects of the problem. ITEM 3 - Solvent Vapors - Samples to determine solvent exposure collected in the electrical shop at the motor dip tank operation' and while cleaning oil bulbs throughout the plant indicate compliance with OSHA guidelines in all areas tested. ITEM 4 - Sodium Hydroxide - Samples to determine caustic exposure were collected in the hydrate filtration area (Fac. 46), at the SOP filters (Fac. 35), on top of the percipitators rjji (Fac. 45) and in the recovery area (Fac. 230). Results indicate compliance in all areas tested. ITEM 5 - Noise - Noise measurements were made in the power depart ment (areas 110 and 111), on the Kiln Floor (calcining area) and -while scaling reactor vessels. Results in dicate that hearing protection is necessary and should be required in all scaling operations. ITEM 6.- Materials Screening Program - In order that the Medical Department might better evaluate the hazard potential of many chemicals used in our plant locations, it has become necessary for us to implement a materials screen ing and evaluation program for new chemicals as they are introduced. In order .that we might achieve this purpose, I will be in contact with the Purchasing Agent at your plant in hopes of setting up a procedure to obtain this information. _ ______ N 005193 Sherwin Alumina Plant Industrial Hygiene Survey iulNIIAL 2- July 26, 197^ DISCUSSION ITEM 1 Samples were collected for airborne asbestos while removing asbestos insulation from several reactor vessels. Results appear in Table 1. Samples collected while removing asbestos insulation from reactor vessels indicate non-compliance with the present OSHA guidelines. OSHA^regula.ti.9ns. require that you notify Mr. Enriques in__writing . within five days after' receiving- this reporjf.that he was exposed _ to._. asbestos fibers in excess of .permissible.concentrations'(10 fibers per. Jiu_b.ic_centrimeter of air). It is also required that Mr. Enriquez be notified 'of t.he""'cdrrecti've action being taken to avoid future exposures Mr. Enriquez as well as other employees involved in the demolition of asbestos containing materials should also be provided with a compre hensive medical examination as stated by Section 19*93 a (j ) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. It should be noted that all corrective measures were instituted immediately by the plant and all workers involved have been provided with thorough medical examinations. Also, employees involved in the removal of asbestos during this samp ling were wearing MSA Dustfoe 66 Respirators which have 3ureau of Mines approval (&21B-113) for protection against asbestos. Thus, this respirator afforded the workers involved with adequate respiratory protection during the sampling and demolition period. However, OSHA regulations, having* .to do with the demolition of asbestos containing materials, constitute a work practice standard requiring that a continuous flow or pressure demand type "Cu supplied air respirators and special clothing be provided for employee engaged in such operations. In general, it is felt that such operations are quite dusty and result in the liberation of asbestos dust in con centrations several times the permissible exposure limits. The plant has complied with these work practices and has instituted a compre hensive asbestos handling program. I might also add that all spray ing of asbestos insulations has been discontinued ana substitutes materials are presently being used and evaluated for performance. In the future we need to improve cn our handling procedures and be sure that they are put into practice. This requires an education program on the part of everyone, f'.s.upeny.isors as we 11 as hourly .workersn. Further monitoring is also needed to determine the ex posure parameters for individuals involved in other job classifi cations. The following job categories need to be sampled: (1) Carpenters removing scaffolding after asbestos demolition. 005194 Sherwin Alumina Plant Industrial Hygiene Survey CONFIDENTIAL -3- July 26, 197^ (2) Iron v/orkers welding studs onto digestor vessels In preparation for new insulation. (3) Employees or areas down wind from v/here asbestos insulation is being removed. (4) Employees involved in the installation of preformed asbestos pipe covering. (5) Monitoring should also be accomplished on any other job category v/here an exposure exists which I might have overlooked. We need to monitor each of these operations at least yearly to better determine our position and to comply with OSHA guidelines. Also, yearly physicals would be in order for any other individual suspected of having asbestos exposures, ITEM 2 Total airborne dust samples were collected throughout the plant. Results appear in Table 2. Samples for total airborne dust were collected for each job category which involved either bauxite or alumina loading, unloading or trans fer. Samples were collected by the personal sampling technique as set forth by NIOSH and OSHA in an attempt to better categorise employ ee exposure for each job classification. Personal monitors were worn by employees during their actual work. Samplers were worn for up to 4 hours in an attempt to gain a representative sample. Results are reported -in Table 2 as actual exposures obtained during the sampling cycle and as time weighted average exposures extrapolated to eight hours. Facilities 5 and 24 - Results of samples collected in the bauxite unloading and transfer operations indicate non-compliance with OSHA nuisance dust standards. I realize that you have an effective res piratory protection program and employees were wearing approved Bureau of Mines respirators during my visit, however, this method of control of a hazard is considered a temporary means of control. In light of this fact, we need to develop documentation that we are looking into the feasibility of controlling this potential problem. If process changes or work schedules were altered at any time in the past which relate to a lowering of dust exposures, this information should be extracted from past records and brought up so date. In addition, any proposed engineering changes that might bring about a similar reduction should also be documented. In general, exposures of this nature up to 12 times the Threshold Limit Value, would result in a serious category citation. The fact that 005195 Sherwin Alumina Plant Industrial Hygiene Survey CONFIDENTIAL -4 . July 26, 1971* respirators are being worn would of course help, but the outcome would depend on the judgement of the Industrial Hygienist involved. Also, I spoke with your Assistant Laboratory Director and he in dicated that the mean particle size of the airborne bauxite dust was something in the order of 1-2 micons. If this is in fact the case, the severity of the problem becomes much greater. Also, I had two air samples of airborne bauxite dust run for free silica (crystalline) determinations. These samples were processed by two outside independent laboratories and results indicate a range of <0,k% - 5% free silica in total dust. I have discussed this possibility with several people within the company and the feeling is that anything above 1% free silica in Jamacian Bauxite would be considered quite high. As a result of these discussions I would tend to question the reliability of results of greater than 1-2% free silica. However, it should be pointed out that similar analysis from other independent labs might turn up com parable results. The analytical method for determining free silica is quite tedious and results are often scattered. To better determine our position in this matter, I suggest that the plant periodically collect air samples (by personal sampling method) and process them for free silica. After v/e establish that we do not in fact have a problem, we then have available the ..information to protect ourselves when such time comes. Also, I think that the information collected here on our bauxite handling operation is typical of information that we might expect to collect at a later date.. Therefore, we should concern our selves with collecting only respirable dust samples in the future. This procedure v.'ill allow us to separate the respirable dust from the total dust exposure and hopefully, provide us.with additional information that will allow us to better determine the extent of the problem (if at all). t Facility 90 - Results of samples collected in facility 90, involving the unloading of alumina from railroad cars and the subsequent trans fer and loading of this material into barges and other vessels in dicate non-compliance with OSKA guidelines. There is no standard at this point for Aluminum Oxide and it is therefore treated as a nuisance dust. However, more recent information implicates Al20^ as having fibrogenic properties. A recent updating of Aluminum In The Environment- and Human Health, University of Cincinnati, in corporates several references on this subject. In light of this material it would be appropriate for us to get our house in order prior to new standards being' developed. In the future, we should sample this facility routinely using respirable sampling equipment to better determine the extent of the respiratory hazard associated with this operation. % 005196 Sherwin Alumina Plant Industrial Hygiene Survey t~.., IDENTML' -5- July 26, 197^ Also, if there have been any process or administrative changes In this operation in the past or if engineering changes are planned that would reduce the above mentioned employee exposure, then such information should be made available and appropriate records kept. Facility 51 - Alumina Loading. Statements regarding the health related aspects of the Alumina exposure problem also apply to this facility, however, additional comments should be made regarding this operation. It is my feeling that exposure to aluminum oxide at this operation is overly excessive and should not be allowed from a health or safety point of view. I found it difficult to see, much less to walk on top of open hopper cars during my visit. I might add that such an exposure would probably represent a serious category cita tion (exposure k-6 times OSHA standards can represent serious violations). ITEM 3 Solvent Vapors - Results of solvent vapor samples collected in the electrical shop and while cleaning oil bulbs in the field appear in Table 3* All measurements indicate compliance with OSHA regulations and should not pose any health related problem. ITEM ii Sodium Hydroxide - .Samples to determine caustic exposure were collected throughout the plant. Results appear in Tabel 4. Personal samples were collected throughout the plant to determine sodium hydroxide exposure. Samples were collected on fiber glass filters wetted with deionized water and analyzed for both sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Results of both analysis were com bined and all results appear as sodium hydroxide. Results are somewhat lower than expected but in light of a lack of clinical manifestations of sodium hydroxide exposure the data appears in order. ITEM 5 Noise - Noise measurements were taken in all areas of the plant suspected of a noise exposure problem. Results appear in Table 5* Noise exposure determinations were made throughout the plant using DuPont Audio Dosimeters which integrate the workers exposure over the entire work shift. Results indicate compliance in all areas 005197 Sherwin Alumina Plant Industrial Hygiene Survey CONFIDENTIAL -6- July 26, 197^ tested except the scaling operations. .It should be pointed out that scaler operators were wearing hearing protection during the sampling. However, it is difficult to determine the extent of exposure for this job category in that different tanks will re quire varying times to complete a job. Hearing protection should always be worn during this operation and employees should be followed very closely by cur Medical Department to insure that employees hearing is being monitored. Your plant has done an excellent job taking care of noj.se related exposures in the past and I'm sure that that performance will continue. ITEM 6 Materials Screening Program - The Medical Department is in the process of up-dating its records concerning the raw materials used at each of our plant locations. OSKA has been quite active in the past few years developing and setting standards for many of these materials. There have been occasions in the past where chemical substances have created considerable problem without prior opportunity by -the Medical Department to evaluate the hazard potential. As a result, it has become necessary for us to re evaluate many of the materials in use and implement a materials screening program for new chemicals as they are introduced. In order that we might accomplish this purpose, as well as eventually complying with OSHA, I would like your support in collecting this information. For example, information that would be most helpful at your plant would have to do with the different kinds of protective coatings and their* make u*o. In order that we might accomplish this purpose, it is requested that each of your purchasing agents send out a copy of the en closed letter with attached Material Safety Data Sheet in order that we might begin developing this list. Whenever possible the amount of material that is purchased for a given location should be noted. In summary, I would like to thank you for your help and the con sideration given' to me during my trip to Corpus. If I can be of any further help or answer any questions, please don't hesitate to call on me. Thank you. HMC/mfj Enclosures H6mer M.

It is not enough to merely certify that such materials are safe, or affix a label to the container warning of toxicity or other ill effect; we must now be in a position of knowing exactly what the constituents are and in what proportions. We are now purchasing, or will possibly purchase the following materials classified as being subject to inquiry: Your cooperation with us in preparing this information will be appreciated. Very truly yours, REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY Purchasing Agent 005208 Occupational Safety and Heaith Administration MiiUftTE OlAI WFLTiY& DRaiHtaIt 01 u OMb No. 44.R1387 Required under USDL Safety and Health Regulations for Ship Repairing, Shipbuilding, and Shipbteaking (29 CFR 1915, 1916. 1917) MANUFACTURER'S NAME SECTION 1 EMERGENCY TCLEFHONC NO.
