RE: ASBESTOS REMOVAL
During the past several years, we have replaced many of our asbestos containing products with ones that are asbestos-free. However, we still have a significant amount of asbestos insulating some of our furnaces and steamlines. This presence will con tinue to be a source of asbestos exposure for many years.
To reduce employee exposure to asbestos during the removal of asbestos containing insulation, the following guidelines are being recommended. These guidelines will put us in compliance with OSHA's asbestos regulations (attached).
Please review these guidelines and prepare your comments for a meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 5, at 1:00 PM in the Chem Lab Conference Room.

PRE-PLANNING
Consult with the Industrial Hygienist several days prior to
'" /'7
the removal of asbestos containing material. The Industrial \r
Hygienist will take samples of the material and analyze it /.-/' (
for asbestos content. If asbestos is present, strict work 1 c "
practices must be followed to prevent exposure to asbestos
fibers.
Personal and area air sampling may be conducted to document the extent of personal exposure and the effectiveness of control methods,
Inform employees about the presence of asbestos; explain the hazards and control measures to be taken.
No smoking or eating is to be permitted in the work area. If a lunch table is nearby, those employees who eat there must be relocated. All lunch tables near the work area must be washed following the completion of asbestos removal.
All employees removing or handling asbestos must wash all exposed skin prior to eating, smoking, or leaving work.
WORK PRACTICES
Enclose the work area with plastic to maximum feasible extent and delineate the work area with tape or rope and the following warning signs:
ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD . Avoid Breathing Dust Wear Assigned Protective Equipment Do Not Remain in Area Unless Your Work Requires It Breathing Asbestos Dust May Be Hazardous to Your Health
Prohibit access to work area to all but properly trained and equipped personnel.
Wet methods of removal (i.e. water spray) should be used whenever possible to prevent the emission of asbestos fibers. However, water should not be used where electrical or other hazards exist,
Never dry sweep or blow asbestos material; utilize local exhaust or vacuum methods to collect fibers.
All persons in a restricted area shall wear a 3M 8710 dust/mist respirator approved for asbestos use or other suitable respir atory protective equipment. The 3M 9906, the blue potroom respirator, is not approved fon asbestos use and is not to be used.
2- -
Protective disposable garments are to be worn by all employees engaged in the removal of asbestos insulation. The protective clothing shall include: white disposable coveralls, gloves, and caps. All contaminated clothing is to be disposed of as asbestos material. The coveralls should be replaced each day or when torn. Protective clothing shall be removed prior to leaving a restricted area. When removing protective clothing, the respirator should be the last piece of equip ment removed.
DISPOSAL
All asbestos containing waste must be disposed of in specially marked steel drums. These drums are available from Paul Perkins, 4121.
Asbestos drums are labled as follows:
Caution Contains Asbestos Fibers
Avoid Creating Dust Breathing Asbestos Dust May Cause
Serious Bodily Harm
Seal full drums and contact Paul Perkins, 4121 for the disposal of full drums.
OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS
Any outside contractor working with or removing asbestos containing materials must meet Alcoa's practices.

(e) To achieve compliance with paragraph (a) through (d) of this section, administrative or engineering controls must first be determined and implemented whenever feasible. When such controls are not feasible to achieve full compliance, protective equipment or any other protective measures shall be used to keep the exposure ofemployees to air contami nants within the limits prescribed in this sec tion. Any equipment and/or technical measures used for this purpose must be approved for each particular use by a compe tent industrial hygienist or other technically
qualified person. Whenever respirators are used, their use shall comply with 1910.134.

RE: REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING PRODUCTS
I have attached a rough draft outlining control procedures for removal of asbestos containing products. I thought this might organize our thoughts for the upcoming meeting with the Materials and Standards group next week.
The Asbestos Information Association is sending me some literature concerning encapsulation of fibers via application of a spray coating to existing material. I want to review this material before incorpor ating it into the draft.
I welcome all comments. It might be beneficial for us to sit down and discuss the draft prior to meeting with the engineers.

REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING PRODUCTS
General S
Various forms of asbestos products were previously used extensively as thermal insulation in duct work, high temperature wiring, furnace lining and general fireproofing. Because of the potential health hazards involved with excessive exposures to asbestos fibers, special precautions must be followed to prevent asbestos exposure of either the worker or of non-involved employees.
Prior to renovation or demolition, every project should be reviewed
/
y
for potential asbestos containing products. If asbestos products
are suspected, a sample of material should be tested for positive rwH- li&idU-r- Lab
identification.
is capable of making this determination. If
the test confirms the presence of asbestos, the precautions out
Jf
' /h
lined for asbestos removal should be followed.

ii Permissible Exposure Levels
^OSHA 1910.1001 states) that no employee shall be exposed at any
time to airborne asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fibers, longer
than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air. The 8 hour
time weighted average airborne asbestos concentrations of asbestos
fibers to which any employee may be exposed shall not exceed 2
fibers, longer than 5 micrometers per cubic centimeter of air.
(Refer to Alcoa Material Safety Data Sheet #40 for additional
information.)
Air monitoring for asbestos fibers should be performed by an
Industrial Hygiene representative to assure that Alcoa employees
are not overexposed as defined above.
.
^ At
III Personal Protective Equipment
That employees engaged in the removal or
demolition of structures or equipment covered or insulated with
sUW-
asbestos, 4j&SUk. be provided with respiratory equipment and special
4Aju
4Ajl l (J >
clothing. Employees should be instructed in the potential health
effects of asbestos, and the control methods to be utilized to
circumvent such consequences.
CS^
Av AAs&jl- Q/JLAO
A. Respirators A NIOSH approved air purifying or type "C" supplied air respirator (shall be provide^ to reduce the concentration of airborne asbestos
fibers in the respirator below the exposure limits prescribed in ,x
Section II. Respirator usage is governed by(0SHA 29 CFR 1910.134)
ijl
which details the components of an acceptable respirator program. B. Clothing
(S- * i
The employer shall provide, and require the use of, special
clothing, such as coveralls or similar whole body clothing,
head coverings, gloves, and foot coverings for any employee
exposed to air-borne concentrations of asbestos fibers, 10 &hjur(c_c,
which exceed the eeil-rng leva! prescribed in Section II.
cX1
\ M
Disposable coveralls, gloves, hair covering (under hard hats)
and respirators approved for asbestos shall be worn at all
times when work is in progress
The coveralls
are to be taped at the ankles and wrists. All disposable
clothing is to be removed and discarded each time a workman
leaves the work area. Shoes must be wiped with a damp rag or
vacuumed so that the area outside the enclosure is not contamina
ted. Before leaving the contaminated area for any reason, the
workmen shall vacuum the protective clothing, remove the head
covering, unzip the coveralls and carefully peel them off,
with gloves and shoe coverings remaining attached. The respirator
is removed last. The disposable clothing and used filter cartridges
shall be disposed of in plastic bags, appropriately labeled for
asbestos waste. Respirators shall be cleaned and sanitized at
the end of every shift. Workers must wash all skin surfaces that
have been exposed to asbestos before eating, drinking, smoking
or leaving work. Any water that is used for these purposes must
be placed in plastic bags and then into the drums with the
contaminated clothing. No smoking or eating is permitted while irv. OL/VCjO_ . fn tho enclosure.
Work Practice Controls
A. Restricted Area
The asbestos work area should be delineated with tape.or rope \n Mkl, U-Sv -nLcS*. Si<3yn.<;
and warning signs(conferming-to-the requirements of 1910.1001
p
(1) (ii) should be posed at the work entrance. Entry should be
restricted to authorized personnel only wearing the protective
clothing prescribed in Section III A & B. i Plastic curtains
draped to enclose the work area, should be used to contain the asbestos fibers
jjdasfn
B. Wet Methods Asbestos should be handled in a wet state: insofar ass. possible .
) (-r&\
to prevent the emission of air-borne fibers.yj Asbestos must <* YL c^nMx-<fU^}
never be dry swept. Local exhaust or wet methods should be

VII. Outside Contractors
It is imperative that the outside contractor know he is dealing
with asbestos. It is recommended that a copy of Alcpa Material ct' pi-a/y^J-a^rd
Safety Data Sheet No. 40 (asbestos^be included with either the
specifications or the order, as well as verbally calling the
contractor's attention to the hazard.
