Uagner, Chairuan of the Committee and Chairman of Che Task Force that worked on*tae work practice* booklet explained to foe Co=ittee Lie =ajor r-iio^ fcr this meeting. Be apologized to the Coczaittee for tbe laak Force1 a attempt to complete the work practices bookietcwithout. having-.final- tonaittee approval before being aent to the Board of Directors., The Secretary read from the minutes of the Board of Directors meeting,-which' waa keld wo"June-T7973, concerning the wort: practices booklet. At the Board meeting, the. Directors reviewed the text of the suggested work practices' booklet which' had been completed' by the Task Force. The Directors asked several questions concerning the booklet including such items as the disclaimer at the front of the booklet and they questioned __ whether the disclaimer was strong enough. A Director had also criticized theUcZ Appendix where the FLJSI vez listed as e source, for information concerning items such as the OSHA regulations, "EPAregulation p et c. There were some items In the - text with which the Directors did'not agree.'; At the Board meeting it was aaked-3- lf the Comsittee had reviewed This work after_the Task Force had completed the write-up. The Secretary indicated -that the Task Force did not submit it to the * Ccnanittee because of the lengthy time it had taken to get it into the form shown. The Board of Directors then resolved to have this booklet submitted to the full.__ Asbestos Study Coimdttee for their recoimmdatlons. When the Comittee has finished reviewing the booklet They -were to re-wubmit It to the Board of Directors. 'r~~ 1 -------- z Is order to review the booklet text, the Secretary read from comments he Jiad received from Jr. Heaver. Hr. Weaver suggested that the art work should be improved. There was an indication That this'might be possible based on the covering ietter received from'Jr. Cooper of 'Johns-llanvilie. 'iffArmstrong-crit- iclzed the illustration showing the mechanic blowing dust from s set of brakes. He felt that there should be something to-indicate that the mechanic was using-*-' eye protection during this operation. Another question concerned the respirator illustrated towards the end of the booklet. It was stated that it would be better if this respirator had "Approved-stamped .on -it.--A member Indicated that this was not a widely,used respirator and that it would be preferable if the illustration showed a ^worker'with-the ^respirator most commonly used-In this ------ environment. A member stated thatThe'moatTrldely used approved-respirator ^for- : this use would be the 3H-8710 disposable respirator. The Secretary asked if anyone had illustrations of the 311-6710. respirator, that could be used to show the artist. If not available,' the Secretary~staed-thathe*vould write-'311 toJ request such an illustration. It was agreed that if the booklet were published that this illustration would be changed to'show" the 31.--8710-respirator. Jr. Heaver had suggested e different title for the booklet. The title shown on the Task Force's booklet was "Friction Materials Handling Methods." Hr. Heaver suggested "Deconended Dork Practices for Asbestos Friction Materials During Brake and Clutch Servicing." llr. Heaver had-indicated that the "Asbestos Friction Haterials" part of this title could be shown in bolder type with the other words'in smaller type. This 'suggested title was considered too long by 1 - the Coamittee members. ' It was stated that an Institute booklet should ~be-generic or gener^ in items and-should`hot be tied specifically to -asbestos* There are other elements in the duet that should-be controlled. Perhaps the precautions suggested -world apply to dust 'from>other materials as well-as asbestos dust.' Concern was- expressed `that"other-fibers way 'create problems -similar-to those ex perienced with*asbestos7 It*was 'suggested that in addition to being too lang, the suggested title was too specific.--'A member-suggested that the appropriate title could be-"Friction Materials Hork Practices Methods." Tt was suggested that this was lnappropiate and that this booklet should `serve primarily as s guide. It was then suggested that the title be "Friction liatertals Work ABoesco* a tuny cossiccee -3- AUgUSt J, iJtO Because of the many decision* to be nade at this meeting it was decided that resolutions would not be necessary for every editing change to the booklet, but that changes'would be .indicated .when members approved certain-wording. .-At thi* point, the CoredCtee -Ambers,approved the -wording, "-Friction iMaterials Uork ...

It was suggested that the oontn and year of. publication be shown at the-top of the front cover. . ' ... Si r^ .. or: - !Ir. Weaver had reiterated that Kaybestos-llanhattan.did not agree with the die- ' " deicer shown in the third paragraph under die -Introduccii i.;Tbe ISetibers read ~. this disdaimer. wording and agreed that It was appropriate aa written.

AC the .botton-of this first page under/`Asbestos .and Frledon .listerlals" it -was suggested that the words "Proper !-?ork Practices.-. --.'L be-underlined. . .This Tra* to emphasize this point. Counsel stated that_if this sentence was underlined ha. would insist that the disdalner language be ^underlined..- Counsel 'stated that - it would be inappropriate if other wording was -emphasized .more than .the dieclaimerJ It was decided not to underline,this yordipg.: Ir.r s:. On the page rising the OSBA Asbestos Standard, -llr. Weaver had suggested that the stsmaary be moved to the rear of the booklet along with the reference sources for additional information, such as the Asbestos Information Association, ' " Friction -materials'Standards Institute or the users' friction .materials supplier, a member suggested that the blank area over the summary of the OSBA Asbestos . Standard have a prominent `"WHI." In essence, the VET'' is questioning the illus tration telling a mechanic not to use an air hose, and the OSBA Asbestos Standard^ is to* answer. It was .stated that use of this.space on tils pegs would halp : emphasize the importance of these procedures. The tieabers agreed that the sum mary of the OSEA Asbestos Standard should stay where originally set and that' "vJUT" should be placed in large letters over the .-text. ; -'* ^ i- - .* - " > * ' , : ' * ''* 2 i- ' A question was raised about Che use of the word "celling" concentrations ., 'This ... wording was used in the OSEA Standard. It was suggested that a user in a brake shop might misunderstand-the tern "celling." One might think that measurements are to be.made at the celling in the workplace rather than in the immediate work place, area. It was felt that this "celling" usage could be confusing to the ' uninitiated. -It was suggested that a word such as ''-maximum" or "peak"., be added. . The word ``marinua" could also be confusing and it was suggested that the word . ' "peak" .be shown In parenthesis following the word "celling" for the exposure limits. There were additional comments made concerning the "two -fibers" end the punctuation that appeared after it. By reference to the OSHA Standard as written, the wording was left as shown. In a further reading, Che wording "All external surfaces, machinery and equipment must be maintained free of asbestos .fiber accumulationV wee reviewed. . Beference is not made to machinery and equipment In the OSBA text. Those words were therefore removed. - At the bottom of this page reference to the Appendix was removed, because the. Appendix was to be dropped in favor of new wording. A3besto6 Study Comsictee - -4- August.3, IS75 .

" The last part of the paragraph concerned the laun dering of asbestos-exposed clothing-by an Industrial laundry-- It was . pointed out . chat some shops use disposable clothing.

This Inquiry had been made by a Mr. Manny Lorenco of NHTSA during` the Secretary's absence after the Annuel Meeting. Miss Collins had received this call from NHTSA and talked with the Secretary who tried to answer -some of the questions concerning non-asbestos friction materials. ' While the subject of the meao concerned an Inquiry as to the types of non-asbestos friction materials and the costs thereof, the Secretary Indicated that he was concerned about the fact that the question bad been. raised by NHTSA. Perhaps this question may have been asked with the.idea of .a possible banning of asbestos- ; bearing friction materials by the Department of .Transportation. It was asked' * if anyone else had information on this particular item. It was suggested ' that this could be simply s random question prompted by some inquiry made .~~* of the NHTSA. * -- It was stated that some Europeans, notably the Swedes, have considered the idea of banning asbestos products. However, this'has not been taken too seriously to date. There has been no word from anyone else in the Membership concerning NHTSA activity relative to asbestos free friction materials.*' Itr was suggested, that Committee Members monitor any inquiries in this ares. * The Secretary indicated that he would probably be going.to Washington ' in September and could make inquiry of NHTSA at that time. It was.............. suggested that there would be no purpose in such an inquiry unless ' Asbestos Study Cctnlttee -7- Angust 3, 1970 there were more information concerning the Department of Yrmaportntlon's interest in this area. iOne Member suggested that if KHTSA did "have auch a question under study that the Asbestos Information.

One of the highlights was the talk by Ilr. Byung bran of the Gccupaft`"0*1 Safety and Health Administration. It was been suggested and recommended ay the President that the Institute' consider sponsoring another seminar- At the January 1978 Committee meeting it vaa voted that the Committee did wot feel it appropriate to have seminar until such Cine as the work practices booklet had been completed. It might be appropriate if the work practices booklet is finished and ready for distribution that a seminar be coupled with its initial distribution. The Cocmittee felt that this condition has not changed end that until such time that there is e booklet to distribute that there would be no purpose in holding a seminar. The Secretary advised that on August 2, 1978 Dr. William Hicholoon of Mount had come to toe Office to talk with Ur. Wagner and the Secretary. Questions by Dr. ilicholson concerned Che forms in which asbestos-bearing brake linings had been used over the past many years. Be was looking for information as to when molded linings replaced woven linings, and when banded undrilled linings came onto the marketplace. Be was also concerned with the amount of work done in brake shone, and whether they cot, drill and otherwise machine friction materials or whether they just Install sa assembly. Ilr. Wagner and the Secretary had as best they could filled Dr. Nicholson in on this type information at this informal meeting. Before Dr. Ilicholson departed, the Secretary asked whether he or others at Mount Sinai would be willing to address e seminar if the Institute were to sponsor such an affair. The Secretary indicated that Dr. Nicholson stated that he would be happy to accept auch an invitation. It was suggested that if a seminar is held, consideration be given to Inviting either Dr. Nicholson or someone from Mount Sinai for a presentation. /jbestos Study CotEittee August 3, IS 7G &JZSICAH TIPCLUNG ASSOCL&IICK PltOCHAII .
