Subject: Work Practices for Users and Fabricators of Asbestos Friction Materials.
Dear Ike: '
I have reviewed your rscontnended work practices. You have done a very
complete and to-the-poiot job. Confirming our phone conversation, I
wish to make the follosing suggestions:
*
1. Add "Brake Blocks* as 1.3, and then re-number others to 1.6.
3.7 After "... stored in sealed containers, etc." Remove "etc."
3.8 New section, add:
Caution Signs and Labels - The employer will use caution signs and labels in accordance with provisions of standard 1910.93a.
5.2 Where it says "... placed in tightly sealed containers ...,n remove
the word "tightly."
6.7 I am-not familar with the word "swarf." It is not in my dictionary.
7.2 Reword this section to remove possible hint that smoking while working is the problem. Suggest:
It is well documented that smoking is injurious to your health. The ill effects of smoking may be accentuated for those working where asbestos dust may be encountered. Smoking should be avoidedl
The forgoing are my comments and not necessarily those of the Committee. I phoned them to you simply to give you a quick turn-around.
Sincerely,
FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE
