Newton's letter of December 29 , 1977, to J. F. Sliwir.ski regarding re-printing of the caution label for asbestos cement oroducts. ine original and revised caution label was develooed with the best information possible vith apparenc consideration of Marketing impact. I believe that the caution label, as currently written, is not sufficiently accurate or complete enough to assist the user. In other words, we cried to caver the federal resu-- laticr.s m a tew lines and this is misleading to the customer user. Znample: The asoestos fibers are not permanently bonded in oortlanc cement (chev can be released). I recommend that tne caution label be revised to delete all the wording excecc the CSHA caution notice: _ CAUTION ' CONTAINS ASBESTOS RISERS . AVOID CREATING DUST ' ' BEZATEING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. c.Oi.z.: I calked to Johas-Manville and they use this same caution label, orinted or. 8" x 10" sheets and one sheet is inserted between every flat sheet; chey find this necessary since often times the flat sheet stacks are :-'pliC. I think this is a good procedure. J.M. also makes available to all their customers a complete package on R e c o m mended i'rtccites -- shop and field fabrication of asbestos sheet products. You Ji H. note tnat this carries many helpful hints and ccmolete O S E A regulations, i. b e l i e v e this is a good pattern since too little information in the users hand could be harmrul and by providing a complete package, the manufacturers could cot be accused of failing to provide sufficient information to safeguard the oealth and safety of the user. ' ' o u !h suggest that C.B.B.P. follow a pro g r a m similar to that of J.M.
