POLICY
EMPLOYEE ALCOHOL ABUSE
PPG Industries hss a primary goal of conducting its business operations efficiently through effective and safe job performance on the part of all Company em ployees. If an employee's use of alcohol interferes with effective and safe job performance, this otherwise personal activity becomes a matter of Company concern.
If an employee is under the Influence of alcohol while on Company premises severe disciplinary action up to and including discharge will be considered. Possession or use of alcohol while on Company premises will cause an employee to be subject to discharge.
Alcohol abuse is a behavioral/medical problem and chronic alcoholism is recognized generally as an Illness. As such, our medical Insurance programs provide coverage. for the treatment of alcoholism when proper medical documentation exists. One distinguishing characteristic of chronic alcoholism from other diseases is that whether an individual drinks or does not drink is under the con trol of his or her will. The Company will encourage appropriate treatment when an employee has recognized a need and resolved to seek assistance.
A decision to terminate employment In cases of alcohol abuse may be postponed while other solutions are being actively sought and Implemented; but a decision to terminate may be made if management has determined that:

1. Treatment has been unsuccessful despite adequate medical review; or
2. The employee refuses to obtain medical and/or other assistance In coping with a problem of alcohol abuse; and
3. The employee falls to return to satisfactory job performance.
Management has concomitant obligations to protect the safety and health of other employees and to safeguard Company property. These obligations may require an employee to be placed on unpaid leave or disciplinary layoff as an interim solution until treatment la effected.
POLICY
EMPLOYEE DRUG USAGE
Drug usage occurs within a framework of social and medical attitudes and legal restrictions. The posi tion of PPG Industries regarding employee Involvement with drugs Is based on three fundamentals:
1. The Company Is concerned with use of any drug or other substances which interfere with efficient and safe performance of the employee's Job.
2. The Company cannot condone illegal activities on Its property by Its employees. The sale, purchase, use and possession of restricted drugs are illegal under federal and state laws.

EMPLOYEE DRUG USAGE - Conc'd
PPG Industries' actions in cases of employee drug involve ment will depend on the facts of individual cases as they relate to the points stated above. An employee who en gages in these proscribed activities on Company property will be subject to discharge. Also, should an employee be convicted on charges of Illegal drug activity, his or her employment may be terminated.
If an employee is under the influence of drugs while on Company premises severe disciplinary action up to and in cluding discharge will be considered. Possession or use of illegal drugs (including marijuana) while on Company premises will cause an employee to be subject to discharge.
The impact of drug usage on health and behavior may cause poor or unsafe job performance. Since health and work effectiveness are interrelated, the Company will encourage appropriate treatment when an employee has recognized such a need and has resolved to seek assistance. A de cision to terminate employment in case of drug usage may be postponed while other solutions are being actively sought and Implemented; but 3uch a decision may be made if management has determined that:
1. Treatment has been unsuccessful despite adequate medical review; or
2. The employee refuses to obtain medical and/or other assistance in coping with a drug problem; and
3. The employee fails to return to satisfactory job performance.
Management has concomitant obligations to protect the safety and health of other employees and to safeguard Company property. These obligations may require an employee to be placed on unpaid leave or disciplinary layoff as an interim solution until treatment is effected.

PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.1 REV. SEPT. 3, 1971
PPG INDUSTRIES - NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM
I. INTRODUCTION
Noise is unwanted sound which can cause hearing loss, speech interference and community annoyance. The purpose of this program is to protect our employees and community neighbors from these adverse effects of noise by minimizing them using engineering and medical means. The most effective and the least costly time to control noise is during the planning for new construction and the purchase of new equipment. However, noise present in our existing facilities must be identified and controlled when necessary.
II. POLICY
Appropriate measures will be taken to prevent the introduction of, and where already present, effect the elimination or control of noise exceeding the noise threshold limit values for hearing loss, the speech communications criteria in occupied spaces and community annoyance criteria at the boundaries of our plant properties. The above criteria are set forth in Attachments 1-3.
i III. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Vice President of Manufacturing of the Division has the responsibility for implementing the Noise Control Program. There are certain plant and special staff responsibilities required to implement the program and these are outlined in Attachment 4.
IV. PROCEDURES
A. Noise Information Inquiry. An information inquiry will be included in all purchase specifications for new machinery or equipment that could conceivably contribute to a noise problem within the Division (See Attachment 3).
B. Noise Analysis. A noise survey of each area in the plant in which sound levels exceed 90 dBA shall be made at least once each year to ensure that sound levels have not increased above those originally existing. The survey may also establish that noise levels in some areas have been reduced to levels below 90 dBA and thereby justify discontinuing application of requirements for administrative controls, ear protection, and audiometric tests of individuals in such areas.
A noise survey of an area is recommended whenever a change is made in either equipment or type of operations so that significant changes in noise level will be acted upon immediately.
Tests of noise levels will be made with a sound level meter on the
A-scale, slow response. The use of octave band analyzers or impact
meters for control or other purposes shall be in addition to, not in
place of, tests made with the sound level meter.
------*"trTT"7 | BB 0012716_|
PPG INDUSTRIES NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM PAGE 2
The sound level meter used will be one meeting specifications in ANSI Standard SI.4-1961, "General Purpose Sound Level Meters."
Records will be made of such surveys showing: ehe instrument used; date, time and location of such tests; machinery or equipment generating the noise; and name of person making the test.
Test records shall be kept readily available for inspection for L year or until a subsequent survey is made, if done more frequently.
The noise survey will be made by a consultant, a representative of a State Health or Labor Department, or by a qualified individual designated by the company. The data obtained will be recorded on the "Results of Noise Analysis", PPG Form 7913. (See Attachment 6) The mixed exposures will be recorded and the s: Te/Tp value calculated using PPG' Form 7914 provided for that purpose. These forms will then be attached to the "Results of Noise Analysis" form.
C. Identify Persons Exposed To Hazardous Noise Levels. The plant Environmental Control Engineer will identify all persons exposed to hazardous noise levels (See Attachment 1) in each area surveyed, making sure to include persons of all shifts. He will complete Columns A-E on the back of "Results of Noise Analysis", PPG Form 7913. He will send a copy of this completed form to the Plant Safety Director and the Plant Medical Department. The plant will provide administrative support to maintain current noise exposure records on all persons exposed to hazardous noise.
D. Methods of Control.
1. Engineering and Administrative
(a) The Division Director of Environmental Control will reconmend measures to prevent the introduction of noise exceeding the noise criteria set forth in Paragraph II above during planning for new construction or purchase of new equipment.
00 The Plant Environmental Control Engineer will take and/or recommend appropriate engineering and administrative methods (See Attachment 7) to control noise exposure in the plant which exceeds Company, Division, Local, State or Federal Standards as applicable. However, until the noise can be controlled to meet the noise threshold limit values, the area of such noise will be designated as noise hazardous and clearly marked. Employees working in such areas will wear ear protection and have an annual audiogram taken.
(c) All plans for new construction or purchase orders for new
equipment will be reviewed by the appropriate Environmental
Control Engineer and will contain an approval block which he
will initial when he has provided his review and given his
approval.

manual
2. Medical. All employees who are continuously exposed to hazardous noise, as defined In Attachment 1, will be required to wear appropriate ear protection and have annual audlometric examinations.
(a) Ear Protection. The use of personal protective equipment is considered by the Department of Labor to be an interim measure while engineering and administrative controls are being per fected. There will be very few cases in which the use of this equipment will be acceptable as a permanent solution to noise problems.
Some methods of control, such as providing an isolation booth for operators, or conducting noisy operations when few employees are in the plant, may require use of personal protective equipment by the operator when he must emerge from his booth to make adjustments, or by those few employees who carry on the noisy operation.
In addition, the regulations require both provision and use of personal protective equipment. How the latter is accomplished is up to the employer. The Department of Labor recommends, however, that an educational and promotional program precede initiation of required use of such equipment, and continue as long as necessary to achieve 100-percent acceptance by employees In the absence of an observable high proportion of use, the Department of Labor would consider the lack of a training and promotional program as constituting a violation of the regulation.
Cotton stuffed in the ears has little value and will not be accepted by the Department of Labor because of the relatively small attenuation (reduction of noise level) and the care which must be taken in using it. Ear inserts will be used. The MSA Ear Defenders and the Billesholm-Anti-Noise Ear Protectors are recommended. Ear muffs will not normally be used. The Divisional Director of Environmental Control may recommend their use under certain circumstances. The Nurse will fit and/or instruct the employee in the use of ear protection.
(b) Audlometric Examinations. Audiometric tests will be made of all individuals working regularly or infrequently in areas in which the noise level is above 90 dBA. The purpose of these tests is to assure that administrative controls in use or ear protection devices provided are being adhered to or properly used and are effective in preventing loss of hearing from the noise levels encountered. Audlometric examinations will be performed by a person trained in hearing test procedures under proper test conditions and using appropriate test equipment so as to meet the USASI Standards S3.1-1960, "Criteria for Back ground Noise in Audiometer Rooms", and S3.6-1969, "Specifications for Audiometers." International Standards Organization (ISO).
"5b ooia?19 1 I

calibration will not be used. The examinations will be recorded and evaluated on the "Audiometric Examination Form", PPG Form 7915, in accordance with the instructions thereon (See Attachment 8). The following film, available from the Medical Director's Office, will be shown annually to persons performing the audiometric examinations: "An Approved Technique For Pure Tone Air Conduction Audiometry."
The audiometer shall have a certificate of calibration before it is placed in use, and shall be recalibrated each year thereafter. This calibration shall check both frequency and intensity at each setting, rise time and overshoot, and electrical and mechanical integrity. A current certificate attesting to such calibration shall be readily available for Inspection by the Department of Labor.
On the audiometer shall be a statement indicating it is calibrated to ASA 1951 values.
The audiometer shall be subject to a biological check, preferably once a week but at least once a month, or before each use of the instrument if it is used less than once a month. The check shall be made by testing a person with a known and stable audiometric curve. The monthly check should include movement and bending of cord, wire, and lead, knob turning, switch actuating, and button pushing to ensure that there are no sound other than the test tones. A log of these checks shall be maintained and be available for inspection.
"Biological Calibration" consists of making repeat audiograms on persons under 25 with no hearing loss evidenced on previous audiograms. The threshold level for each test frequency should agree within Plus or Minus 5dB for each successive month test. If it doesn't,- test at least two other persons with no hearing loss evidenced on previous audiograms. If these show greater than 5dB deviation in the same test frequencies, the audiometer should be recalibrated by the manufacturer of the audiometric equipment.
(c) Medically Disqualified For Exposure To Hazardous Noise. Employees exceeding the hearing loss set forth in the Medical Standards Section of the "PPG Medical Procedures Manual" should be medically disqualified from working in a noise hazardous area.
(d) "Results of Noise Analysis". PPG Form 7913. For those persons identified by the Noise Abatement Engineer on this form, the Medical Department will complete Columns F and G on the Medical Department copy of the form and advise the Noise Abatement Engineer, the Safety Director and Manager of Environmental Control of this information so they can record the information on their copies. *"
PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.1 REV, SEPT. 3, 1971
THRESHOU LIMIT VALUES FOR NOISE (Taken From The Safety And Health Standards Of The Federal Occupational Safety And Health Act
Dated May 29, 1971) Protection against the effects of noise exposure shall be provided when the sound levels exceed those shown in the Permissible Noise Exposure Graph of this attachment when measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter at slow response. When noise levels are determined by octave band analysis, the equivalent A-weighted sound level may be determined as follows:
Equivalent sound level contours. Octave band sound pressure levels may be converted to the equivalent A-weighted sound level by plotting them on this grach and noting the A-weighted sound level corresponding to the point of highest penetration into the sound level contours. This equivalent A-weighted sound level, which may differ from the actual A-weighted sound level of the noise, is used to determine exposure limits from the Permissible Noise Exposure Graph.
*/hen employees are subjected to sound exceeding those listed in the Permissible Noise Exposure Graph of this attachment, feasible administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls fail to reduce
1 BB 0012720 Attachment 1, Page 1
2.
sound levels within the levels of the graph, personal protective equipment shall be provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of the graph.
If the variations in noise level involve maxima at intervals of 1 second or less, it is to be considered intermittent. In such cases, where the duration of the maxima are less than 1 second, they shall be treated as of l-second duration.
When the daily exposure is conposed of two or more periods of noise exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered, rather than the individual effect of each. If the summation of all fractions Te/Tp, (ac Te/Tp), exceeds unity, then, the mixed exposure should be con sidered to exceed the limit value. Te indicates the total time of exposure at a specified noise level, and Tp indicates the total time of exposure permitted at that level.
Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should not exceed 1^0 dBA peak sound pressure level.
In all cases where the sound levels exceed the values shown herein, a continuing, effective hearing conservation program shall be administered.

(e) Reindoctrination of Employees. Employees showing an increased hearing loss of greater than fifteen decibels at 4000 cps, when comparing the current audiogram with the last audiogram or one taken within the previous five years are identified as having a threshold shift. They must be refitted with ear protection and advised that they are not adequately protecting their hearing and be reindoctrinated into the need for and proper use of their hearing protection.
(f) Employee Indoctrination. No employee shall be permitted to work in a noise hazardous area without being thoroughly indoctrinated by the medical and safety personnel as to the nature of the hazard, what the Company is doing and what he must do to protect his hearing. The following film, available from the Medical Director's Office, will be shown annually to all persons required to work in a noise hazardous area: "Ear Protection In Noise."
E. Training and Conferences. Those responsible for the various aspects of the Noise Control Program will be trained sufficiently to carry out their responsibilities. Conferences will be held periodically to exchange information and to permit program evaluation. Recommendations for such training and conferences will be made by the Director of Environmental " Control and the Company Medical Director.
V. REFERENCES
Persons responsible for any aspect of the Noise Control Program should have available the following book: "Industrial Noise Manual . . . Second Edition" which is published by the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and also U.S. Department of Labor Bulletin 334, "Guidelines to the Department of Labor's Occupational Noise Standards for Federal Supply Contracts."

PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.1 REV. SEPT. 3, 1971
COMMUNITY AtfNOYANCS CRITERIA
Determine the level for each of the eight octave bands. The N for annoyance of the noise is the highest of those numbers. Apply corrections where necessary as shown in Tab]^ A, to determine the "corrected noise rating number." The public reaction to the noise can be estimated by referring to
Table B.
Where detailed measurements are not available for one reason or another, approximations may be made by using tho "A" scale on a standard sound level meter. The meter reading minus 8 dB may be taken as a rough indication of N.
In some cases the above procedure may prove unsatis factory and it may be necessary to measure the background noise in the absence of the allegedly annoying noise. When the back ground noise is exceeded by the complained-of noise, after appropriate correction, by 10 dB or more in any octave band the noise mny be considered annoying.
For example: A residential area with widely separated homes would bo rated as low as N 30. On the other hand a heavily industrialized area would be rated as high as
N 55 without complaints. Higher levels are more acceptable
in .industrial areas than in residential areas, probably because of higher background noise.
Hence the rating method must be composite and include allowances for various influencing factors such as noise level, spectrum, time distribution of the noise, back ground noise, season of the year, time of day or night, and previous noise experience. Obviously the suggested corrections are only approximations that are more or less arbitrary, but they should serve as a frame work upon which to gather experience and information.

METHODS OF INDUSTRIAL NOISE CONTROL
. ENGINEERING
Engineering controls are chose which reduce the sound intensity either at the source of the noise or in the hearing zone of the workers.
The following are examples:
A. Maintenance
1. Replacement or adjustment of worn and loose or unbalanced parts of machines.
2. Lubrication of machine parts and use of cutting tools. 3. Properly shaped and sharpened cutting tools.
B. Substitution of Machines
1. Larger, slower machines for smaller, faster ones. 2. Step dies for single operation dies. 3. Presses for hampers. 4. Rotating shears for square shears. 5. Hydraulic for mechanical presses. 6. Belt drives for gears.
C. Substitution of Processes
1. Compression for impact riveting. 2. Welding for riveting. 3. Hot for cold working. 4. Pressing for rolling or forging.
D. Vibration Dampening
1. Increase mass. 2. Increase stiffness. 3. Use rubber or plastic bumpers or cushions. 4. Change size to change resonance frequency.

PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10. t REV. SEPT. 3, 1971
H. Isolating Noise Sources
1. Completely enclose individual machines. 2. Use baffles. 3. Confine high noise machines to insulated room.
I. Isolating Operator
Provide a relatively sound-proof booth for the operator or attendant of one or more machines.
Controlling noise at the source, as illustrated by A through HI, is the ideal means of preventing noise induced hearing loss. The results are relatively long lasting; the operator of the individual machine is protected, as well as those employees at a distance from it, and there is no need for wearing protective equipment or following prescribed schedules of exposure. The measures listed under H2, H3, and I will, if effective, limit the number of persons exposed to high noise levels, but are unlikely to protect operators and those close to the noise sources.
A number of the listed controls can be accomplished quite Inexpensively by plant personnel. Others require considerable expense and highly specialized technical knowledge to ensure the expected results. It Is, therefore, strongly recommended that plants avail themselves of the services of competent acoustical engineers in planning and carrying out their noise control programs. The Department of Labor expects employers to explore the possibility and practicability of controlling noise by engineering and to take all feasible measures before resorting to use of administrative controls or of personal protective equipment.
II. ADMINISTRATIVE
If noise cannot be reduced to permissible intensities through engineering controls, administrative controls should be developed in order to limit duration of workers' exposure to noise levels above 90 dBA to the limits shown in Attachment 1.
The following are examples:
1. Arrange work schedules so chat employees working the major portion of a day at or very close to the 90 dBA limit are not exposed to higher noise levels.
2. Ensure that employees who have reached the upper limit of duration for a high noise level, in accordance with Attachment 1, work the remainder of the day in an environment with a noise level well below 90 dBA.
3. Where the man-hours required for a job exceed the permissible time
for one man in one day for the existing sound level, divide the
work among two, three, or as many men as are needed, either
successively or together, to keep individual noise exposure within
permissible time limits.
____
J BB 00*T2734~7
Attachment 7. Page 2
4. If less than full-time production of a noisy machine is needed, arrange to run it a portion of each day, rather than all day for part of the week.
5. Perform occasional high level noise producing operations at night or at other times when a minimum number of employees will be exposed.
Measures such as these can often be Instituted at little cost or effort, simply by introducing noise exposure as a factor in production planning. While not as satisfactory as controlling noise at its sources, administrative control measures are more easily enforced, than is the requirement to wear personal protective equipment. For this reason it is preferred.

if the source Is meeting the standard or has requested a waiver of compliance. Periodic tests are not required unless specifically requested by the Administra tor. The Administrator may cancel a waiver of emission tests imd may require
a test under the authority of section 114 of the Act at any time. Appendix A speci fies the information which a source must
provide the Administrator when applying for a waiver of Initial emission testing.
The standards promulgated below do not require the owner or operator to request a waiver of compliance before a specific date. However, the owner or op erator'should submit the request within 30 days after the effective date of the regulation to be assured that action will be taken on the waiver application prior to the 90th day after the effective date.
Continued operation in excess of a stand ard after the 90th day without a waiver Is a violation of the act.
The Administrator may grant an exist
ing source a waiver, permitting a period of up to 2 years for compliance, provided
that steps will be taken during the waiver
period to assure that the health of per sons will be protected from imminent
endangerment and provided that such period Is necessary for the installation of
controls. To be granted a waiver of com pliance. a source must submit a written request to the Administrator and pro
vide certain Information to assist the
Administrator In making a Judgment.
Within 60 days after receiving a request, the Administrator will notify the owner or operator of approved or lntentlt^j^ deny the waiver. Any waiver of
Pliance granted by the Adtninlstratorvral be in writing and specify conditions the source must meet during the waiver period. If the Administrator intends to deny a request, the owner or operator will be given a specified time to provide
additional Information or arguments prior to final action on the request. Final action on a request will be In writing by
the Administrator, and If denied, will in clude reasons for denial.
The President may exempt any new. modified, or existing stationary source from compliance with the standards for a period of up to 2 years, provided the technology is not available to implement the standards and the operation of such source is required for reasons of national security. Also, the President may grant exemptions for additional periods of 2 years or less.
The construction of a new source or modification of an existing source cov ered by these standards cannot begin without approval of the Administrator. To obtain approval, the owner or opera tor of such sources must apply in writing to the Administrator. Within 60 days, the Administrator will notify the owner or operator of approval or intention to deny approval, if the Administrator In tends to deny approval, a specified time will be given to provide additional infor
mation or arguments prior to final action on the application. The final action on any application will be in writing by Administrator, and if denied, will elude the reasons for denial.
- Although the demolition of buildings or structures containing asbestos ma terial and the spraying of asbestoa ma terial will in many cases be modifications of existing stationary sources, the Ad ministrator's approval is not required be fore beginning such operations. Section 112(c)(1) of the act specifies that no person may construct any new source or modify any existing source "* imi<
the Administrator finds that such source if properly operated will not cause emis sions in violation of such standard." The demolition and spraying provisions are expressed In terms of procedures to be followed. Therefore, If the source Is prop erly operated, it win be complying with the standard, and there la no need for
the Administrator to make a finding with respect to each new source subject to these provisions.
Each source covered by these stand ards is required to submit to the Admin istrator within 90 days after promulga tion certain information pertaining to its operation. Changes in the Information
must be submitted within 30 days after the change, except where the change is considered a modification. Then the re quirements for a modified source are applicable.
Three terms are associated with deter mining compliance by means of source testing: (l; Reference method. (3M
equivalent method, and (3) sJtematl^
method. Reference methods are the pre-
l_Ba QQ1275q"7
p^ae 24
(erred methods ol sampling and analyz ing used to determine compliance. The reference methods for beryllium and mercury are Included In appendix B to this part. An equivalent method la any method of sampling and analyzing which has been demonstrated to the AdmInIstrator's satisfaction to have a con sistent and quantitatively known rela tionship to the reference method under specified conditions. An alternative method Is any method of sampling and analyzing which does not meet all the criteria for equivalency but which can be used In specific cases to determine com pliance. Alternative methods may be ap proved by the Administrator for source testing; however. In cases where deter minations of compliance using an alter native method are disputed, use of the reference method or Its equivalent will be required by the Administrator. An ap proved alternative method for beryllium is included In appendix B hereto.
All -r"t--Ifm data provided to or ob tained by the Administrator in carrying out these regulations will be available to the public. Records, reports, or informa tion other than trade secrets will be available to the public.
Pursuant to section 112(d) (1) of the act, the Environmental Protection Agency intends to delegate the author ity to Implement and enforce national emission standards (except with respect to stationary sources owned or operated by the United States) for hazardous atp pollutants to any State which submits an adequate procedure to the Administrator. The requisite procedure for requesting such delegation will be Issued In the future by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The regulations for the national emis sion standards for asbestos, beryllium, and mercury are hereby promulgated ef fective upon promulgation (April 8, 1973).

FR 8754). part 1910 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, If hereby amended in the manner set forth below, in order to provide an emergency temporary standard dealing with the exposure of employees to certain listed oubrcances that are known to cause cancer.
Concern for the dangers inherent in the occupational exposure to carcino genic substances was one of the reas ons for enactment of the act. See Ce i"ii Re port No. 91-1282. 91st Congusjj. d ses
sion. 2 (1970). Administrative attention was ad
dressed to the problem about 1 year ago. On May 22. 1972. the Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health requested info*'na tion from the Director of the K itional Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on nine sursUinies al leged to be carcinogens. As p'ux of Ills effort to gain the best ava!l..b;e scien tific data, the Director pubii.u-.ed on July 8,1972. at 37 FR 13285, a request for information concerning 15 substances. The data, arguments, and conclusions re ceived by NIOSH were made available
to the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. The Office of Standards continued
its work on carcinogens in preparation for making recommendations for a
standard under section 8 of the act. On January 4, 1973, a petition for an
emergency temporary standard, sub mitted by the Oil. Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union and Health Research Group, was received and acknowledged by the Department of Labor. The petition contained relevant information on the danger of exposure to !0 of the carcin
ogens Uited in the slandaid. On February 9. 1973. the Assistant
Secretary of Labor published In tne Fzotaut Rrcisrxa (38 FR 4037), a notice of the receipt of the petition for issuance of an emergency temporary standard, and a request for information from in

- PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER, JULY 27, 1973
Attached is a copy of the subject revision. Please substitute this in Section 10.4, paragraph IV.2. for the May 3, 1973, Standard, which it replaces. The principal changes made by the revision are that the revised Standard deals more particularly with different work operations, thereby permitting specification of different control measures in the different categories of operations; also, there are changes in the wording of signs and labels.

Since the publication of the standard, numerous comments, objections, and rec ommendations have been received. A whole range of issues has thus been raised. The finding that ail the listed
substances are harmful to humans has been questioned, as well as the wisdom of regulating on a common basis fourteen
substances of varying properties and uses, and the necessity of all the require
ments of the standard.
The emergency temporary standard has been reexamined In the light of the new comments and argu' lents. And it has been determined -hat certain
changes in the standard are necessary to tailor the requirements for different types of workplaces and work operations, and to clarify the standard.

MANUA
PPG INDUSTRIES. INC. POLICY ON REQUESTS FOR HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATIONS
UNDER O.S.H.A.
I. INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 42, Part 35, Requests for Health Hazard Evaluations, was published November 6, 1972, and a copy is attached. The provisions of this Part 85 are applicable to requests submitted by any employer or authorized representative of employees pursuant to Section 20(a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, for a determination of potentially toxic effects of any substance normally used or found in any place of employment to which the Act is applicable.
Since the effective date of the Act, PPG has initiated no such requests and only a
few have been initiated by our employees. The industrial hygiene and occupational
medical staff of PPG can provide the expertise which will eliminate the necessity of_
company-initiated requests. It is hoped that proper indoctrination of employees who
may be exposed to an in-plant environmental health hazard should also preclude the
necessity of our employees initiating such requests.
II. POLICY
No employee shall be permitted to work where he may be exposed to a recognized
environmental health hazard without being thoroughly indoctrinated by medical, safety,
and/or industrial hygiene personnel as to the nature of the hazard, control measures
being employed, and what is required of him to protect his health. Such indoctrination
shall be repeated at least annually.
_______ ,
--------------
| BB 0012767 {
Any request for health hazard evaluation known to have been submitted by an employee
or employee qroup under Part 85 will be brought to the immediate attention of the
appropriate Divisional Director of Environmental Control. Whenever in his judgment it
would be desirable and is possible, he will arrange to perform environmental surveys
concurrently with those being done by N10SH. The Plant Manager will be responsible
for advising NIOSH of information or photographs which would compromise , trade secrets. Page 1

Subject: Respirator Use
It is the intent of the Glass Division to comply with all legal requirements for respirator use. It is therefore stated that all respirators used in the division will be NIOSH approved for contaminant present.
All ORHA regulations promulgated contain a section on repirator applications; these regulations will be followed regarding type of respirator; i.e./ chemical cartridge, air supplied, etc. The actual respirator unit will be specified by the plant environmental control engineer in consultation with the Glass Division Industrial Hygienist.
The plant respirator program will then be implemented by incorporating medical examinations, employee education and respirator use inspections.

INTRODUCTION
This Bureau of Mines publication^ a revision of Information Circular 8436,3 lists respirators approved by the Bureau as of May 24, 1972. The Secretary of Interior and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare have generally restricted use of respirators in hazardous mine atmospheres to those most recently approved (Section 11.2, Part 11, Subchapter B of Chapter 1, Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations, 37 F.R. 6244, March 25, 1972). The newer devices are usually more efficient and comfortable than older approved devices. Therefore, only those respirators approved under Bureau of Mines Schedules 14F for gas masks, 19B for supplied-alr respirators, 21B for dust, fume, and mist respirators, and 23B for chemical cartridge respirators are listed. An exception has been made only for self-contained breathing apparatus: All breathing apparatus approved under Schedules 13 through 13E are listed.
