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 ocher 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: j_f6_0002707~7 A n6 INDUSTRIES SUBJECT: ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICIES Date Reviewed; Pege 2 of EMPLOYEE ALCOHOL ABUSE - Cont'd 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 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. 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. 3. The Company has the desire in the area of drug abuse to assist affected employees whenever possible in securing appropriate treatment so they can remain productively employed or return to nrodurMve employment. ___________________________________________ 2_BB_Q002708 J NDUSTRIES SUBJECT: ALCOHOL. AND DRUG POLICIES Date Reviewedr 6/2' Pate 3 of 3 EMPLOYEE DRUG USAGE - Cont'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 such 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 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 is effected.

SEPT. 3, 1971 c 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 comnunity 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. 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 5). 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 ^ place of, tests made with the sound level meter. ^* | BB 000271 1 i 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; the 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 1 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 E 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. 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 o'f "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. 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. (b) 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. | BB 0002712 | PPG INDUSTRIES NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM PAGE 3 PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.1 REV. SEPT. 3, 1971 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 audiometric 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) Audiometric 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. Audioraetric 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 USAS1 Standards S3.1-1960, "Criteria for Back ground Noise in Audiometer Rooms", and S3.6-1969, "Specifications for Audiometers." International Standards Organization (ISO) | BB 0002713 j mm PPG INDUSTRIES NOISE CONTROL PROGRAM PAGE 4 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 frcm 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. i 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 sounds other than the test tones. A log of these checks shall be maintained and be available for inspection. c "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 audicanetric 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.

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." | BB 0002715 | 14 PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.1 REV. SEPT. 3, 1971 THRESHOLD 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 graph 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, When employees are subjected to sound exceeding thor.p listed in the Permissible Noise Exposure Graph of this attachment, feasiblp administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls fail to reduce i--il 716'7 ^ Attachmeim -, Page 1 15 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 composed 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 sunsnation of all fractions Te/Tp, (e 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 11*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. | 8B 0002717 I M!

The N for annoyance of the noise is the highest of these numbers. Apply corrections where necessary as shown in Table 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 the "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 may be considered annoying. For exaji$>le: A residential area with widely separated homes would be 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. o* J BB 0002721 | AI MI Att^chmunt 3. 1 0 Influencing Pactor .V'liwf. 3,v strum Zr.-^rT:ter ?e'tk factor Repetitive Character (About -5 minute noiso duratj on assumed) Adjustment to Exposure Time of Day and Sea-on Allowance for local Conditions T ABI,*1: A com hut ion to noise rating number (primarily Applicable to Residential Canes) Possible Conditions Pure tone components Wide band noise Impulsive Nonimpulsive Continuous exposure to one-per-minute 10-60 exposures per hour 1-10 exposures per hour la--20 exposures per day 1-li exposures per day 1 exposure per day No previous conditioning Considerable previous conditioning Extreme conditioning Only during daytime At night Winter Summer NEIGHBORHOOD Rural Suburban Resideitial (urban) Urban near light industry Industrial area (heavy industry) Corrections to Uncorrected N *5 0 5 0 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 0 -5 -10 -5 +5 -5 0 5 0 -5 -10 -15 TABLE B PUBLIC REACTION TO NOISE ffTRESIDSTTIAL DISTRICTS Corrected Noise Rating Number Estimated public Reaction Below LO......................................................

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 that 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. aI uI | B8 0002729 | 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. | BB 0002730 | AI MI Attachment 7. Paue 1 Ltf AUDIOMETRIC EXAMINATION PPG OCCUPATIONAL SECTION 10.1 REV.

(e> Use of respirators. (1) Standard procedures shall be developed for respi rator use. These should Include all Infor mation and guidance necessary for their proper selection, use, and care. Possible emergency and routine uses of respira tors should be anticipated and planned for. (2) The correct respirator shall be specified for each lob. The respirator type is usually specified In the work pro cedures by a qualified Individual super vising the respiratory protective program. The individual issuing them shall be adequately Instructed to Insure that the correct respirator is Issued. Each respira tor permanently assigned to an Indi vidual should be durably marked to In dicate to whom It was assigned. This mark shall not afieet the respirator per formance In any way. The date of Issu ance should be recorded. (3) Written procedures shall be pre pared covering safe use of respirators in dangerous atmospheres that might be encountered in normal operations or In emergencies. Personnel shall be familiar with these procedures and the available respirators. (I) In areas where the wearer, with failure of the respirator, could be over come by a toxic or oxygen-deficient atmosphere, at least one additional man shall be present. Communications (visual, voice, or signal line) shall be maintained between both or all individuals present. Planning shall be such that one individ ual will be unaffected by any likely Inci dent and have the proper rescue equip ment to be able to assist the otherd) in case of emergency. (II) When self-contained breathing apparatus or hose masks with blowers are used In atmospheres Immediately dangerous to life or health, standby men must be present with suitable rescue equipment. (ill) Persons using air line respirators In atmospheres immediately hazardous to life or health shall be equipped with safety harnesses and safety lines for lift ing or removing persons from hazardous atmospheres or other and equivalent provisions for the rescue of persons from hazardous atmospheres shall be used. A standby man or men with suitable self- contained breathing apparatus shall be at the nearest fresh air base for emer gency rescue. (4) Respiratory protection is no bet ter than the respirator In use, even though It is worn conscientiously. Fre quent random Inspections shall be con ducted by a qualified Individual to as sure that respirators are properly se lected. used, cleaned, and maintained. (5) For safe use of any respirator, it Is essential that the user be properly In structed in Its selection, use. and main tenance. Both supervisors and workers shall be so Instructed by competent per sons. Training shall provide the men an opportunity to handle the respirator, have It fitted properly, test its face-pleceto-face seal, wear It in normal air for a long familiarity period, and. finally, to wear It In a test atmosphere. (I) Every respirator wearer shall re ceive fitting instructions Including dem onstrations and practice in how the res pirator should be worn, how to adjust It, and how to determine if It fits properly. Respirators shall not be worn when con ditions prevent a good face seal. Such conditions may be a growth of beard, sideburns, a skull cap that projects under the facepiece, or temple pieces on glasses. Also, the absence of one or both dentures can seriously affect the fit of a facepiece. The worker's diligence hi observing these factors shall be evaluated by periodic check. To assure proper protection, the facepiece fit shall be checked by the wearer each time he puts on the respira tor. This may be done by following the manufacturer's facepiece fitting Instruc tions. (II) Providing respiratory protection for Individuals wearing corrective glasses is a serious problem. A proper seal cannot be established If the temple bars of eye glasses extend through the sealing edge of the full facepiece. As a temporary measure, glasses with short temple bars or without temple bars may be taped to the wearer's head. Wearing of contact lenses in contaminated atmospheres with a respirator shall not be allowed. Sys tems have been developed for mounting corrective lenses inside full facepieces. When a workman must wear corrective lenses as part of the facepiece, the facepiece and lenses shall be fitted by quali fied individuals to provide good vision, comfort, and a gas-tight seal. (ill) If corrective spectacles or goggles are required, they shall be worn so as not to affect the fit of the facepiece. Proper selection of equipment will mini mize or avoid this problem.

(2) (1) All respirators shall be In spected routinely before and after each use. A respirator that is not routinely used but is kept ready for emergency use shall be inspected after each use and at least monthly to assure that it Is In satisfactory working conditiuii. (II) Self-contained breathing appara tus shall be inspected monthly. Air and oxygen cylinders shall bo fully charged according to the manufacturer's instruc tions. It shall be determined that the regulator and warning devices function properly. (III) Respirator inspection shall in clude a check of the tightness of con nections and the condition of the facepiece, headbands, valves, connecting tube, and canisters. Rubber or elastomer parts shall be Inspected lor pliability and signs of deterioration. Stretching and manipulating rubber or elastomer parts with a massaging action will keep them pliable and flexible and prevent them from taking a set during storage, (tv) A record shall be kept of Inspec tion dates and findings for respirators maintained for emergency use. (3) Routinely used respirators shall be collected, cleaned, and disinfected as frequently as necessary to Insure that proper protection is provided lor the wearer. Each worker should be briefed on the cleaning procedure and be assured that he will always receive a clean and disinfected respirator. Such assurances are of greatest significance when respira tors are not Individually assigned to workers. Respirators maintained lor emergency use shall be cleaned and dis infected after each use. (4) Replacement or repairs shall he done only by experienced persons with parts designed for the respirator. No attempt shall be made to replace com ponents or to make adjustment or re pairs beyond the manufacturer's recom mendations. Reducing or admission valves or regulators shall be returned to the manufacturer or to a trained technician for adjustment or repair. (S> (1) After inspection, cleaning, and necessary repair, respirators shall be stored to protect against dust, sun light. heat, extreme cold, excessive moisture, or damaging chemicals. Res pirators placed at stations and work areas for emergency use should be quickly accessible at all times and should be stored In compartments built for the purpose. The compartments should be clearly marked. Routinely used respirators, such as dust respira tors, may bo placed in plastic !<.'. Res pirators chotiid not be stored In such places as lockers or tool ln/.cs unless ll;ey arc in carrying caves or cartons. (11) Respiratvis should bo packed or stored so that ike facepiece and exhala tion valve will rest In a ncrr.ml position and function will not be Impaired by the elastomer setting la an abnormal position. (lil) Instructions for proper storage of emergency respirators, such as gas masks and self-contained breathing apparatus, are found In "use and care" Instructions usually mounted Inside the carrying case lid. (g) Identification of gas mask canis ters. (1) The primary means of identify ing a gas mask canister shall be by means of properly worded labels. The secondary means of identifying a gas mask canister shall be by a color code. (2) All who Issue or use gas masks fall ing within the scope of this section shall sec that all gas mask canisters purchased or used by them arc properly labeled and colored in accordance with these require ments before they are placed in service and that the labels and colors are prop erly maintained at all times thereafter until the canisters have completely served their purpose. (3) On each canister shall appear In bold letters the following: (-- Canister for...______________________ (Name for atmospheric contaminant) or Type N Gas Mask Canister (11) In addition, essentially the fol lowing wording shall appear beneath the appropriate phrase on the canister label: "For respiratory protection In at mospheres containing not more than percent by volume of___________ _______ tt (Name of atmospheric contaminant) (ill) All of the markings specified above should be placed on the most conspicuous surface or surfaces of the canister.

The pollutants were asbestos, beryllium, and mercury. On December 7, 1971 (36 FR 23239), the Administrator proposed standards for these pollutants.

There is evidence which indicates that mesothll- omas occur after much less exposure to asbestos dust than the exposure associ ated with asbestos (SI. 52) It is not practicable, at this time, to establish allowable numerical concentra tions or mass emission limits for asbestos. Satisfactory means of measuring ambient asbestos concentrations have only re cently been developed, and satisfactory means of measuring asbestos emissions are still unavailable. Even if satisfactory means of measuring asbestos emissions did exist, the previous unavailability of a satisfactory means of measuring ambient levels of asbestos makes it impossible to estimate even roughly the quantitative relationship between asbestos-caused ill of Sciences' report on asbestos (53), which concludes: "Asbestos is too im portant in our technology and economy for its essential use to be stopped.

The promulgated standard prohibits visible emissions from any part of the mill, but It does not apply to dumps of asbestos tailings or open storage of asbestos ores. The Bureau of Mines' regulations pre viously referenced and regulations Issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (30 CFR 1310.03a) pro tect workers from the hazards of air con taminants In the work environment. The Occupational Safety and Health Admin istration regulations were promulgated on June 7, 1972. The regulations are in tended to protect the health of employees from asbestos exposure by means of en gineering controls <l.e. Isolation, enclo sures. and dust collection) rather than by personal protective equipment. It is the judgment of the Administrator that pair or demolition In many situations, since it would be Impracticable, if not impossible, to do such work without cre ating visible emissions. Accordingly, the promulgated standard specifies certain work practices which must be followed when demolishing certain buildings or structures. The standard covers institu tional, industrial, and commercial build ings or structures, including apartment houses having more than four dwelling units, which contain friable asbestos ma terial. This coverage Is based on the Na tional Academy of Sciences' report (53) which states. "In general, single-family residential structures contain only small amounts of asbestos Insulation. Demoli tion of Industrial and commercial build ings that have been fireproofed with asbestos-containing materials will prove to be an emission source in the future, requiring control measures." Apartment bouses with four dwelling units or leas are considered to be equivalent to single- family residential structures. The stand ard requires that the Administrator be notified at least 20 days prior to the com mencement of demolition. would: (1) Prohibit the use of materials containing only the trace amounts of asbestos which occur in numerous nat ural substances, (2) prohibit the use of materials to which very small quantities of asbestos are added in order to enhance their effectiveness, and (3) prohibit the use of materials in which the asbestos is strongly bound and which would not gen erate particulate asbestos emissions. The promulgated standard applies to those uses of spray-on asbestos materials which could generate major emissions of particulate asbestos material. For those spray-on materials used to Insulate or fireproof buildings, structures, pipes, and conduits, the standard limits the asbestos content to no more than 1 percent. Ma terials currently used contain from 10t 30-percent asbestos. The intent of the 1-percent limit is to ban the use of ma terials which contain significant quanti ties of asbestos, but to allow the use of materials which would: (1) Contain trace amounts of asbestos which occur in numerous natural substances, and (2) Include very small quantities of asbestos (less than 1 percent) added to enhance the material's effectiveness. Although a j_BBj300274T"[ Page 22 A! HI PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.3 ISSUE DATE APRIL 13, 1973 standardized reference method has not been developed to quantitatively deter mine the content of asbestos in a ma terial, there are acceptable methods available, based on electron microscopy, which Independent laboratories have de veloped. Determining the asbestos con tent of a material with these methods costs approximately $300, and the results are accurate within plus or minus SO percent: these limits on accuracy were taken into account in establishing the l-percent limitation. The proposed standard would have prohibited the surfacing of any roadway with asbestos tailings. The promulgated standard applies to all roadways except those on ore deposits; these roadways are temporary, and control measures taken to comply with the Bureau of Mines reg ulations prevent them from being a maior source which must be covered by the standard promulgated herein. At this time, the application of asbestos tailings to public roadways is not widely prac ticed, but because of the close proximity of roads to the public, a ban on using asbestos tailings on roadways is included in the promulgated standard to avoid a future problem and stop the practice where It is followed. The term "surfac ing" is defined to include the deposit of asbestos tailings on roadways covered with snow or ice: therefore, this practice is prohibited. Consideration was given to including provisions in the standard requiring proper disposal of the asbeetoe material generated during demolition and col- Clected in control devices used to comply with the requirements of this standard. It was decided that this was not neces sary because the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations <29 Cnt 1910.93a(h)) Include house keeping and waste disposal requirements. These regulations require that any as bestos waste, consigned for disposal, be collected and disposed of in sealed im permeable bags or other dosed, imperme able containers. The potential environmental Impact of the promulgated standard was evalu ated. and it was concluded that the standard will not cause any adverse ef fects. The potentially advene environ mental effects of the standard are: (1) The asbestos-materials which will be collected in control devices and gen erated during demolition will have to be disposed of or recycled, (2) Materials, such as mineral wool, ceramic wool, and fiberglass, will be sub stituted for asbestos presently contained In spray-applied fireproofing and insulat ing materials. In some manufacturing operations, a major portion of the asbestos-material collected by fabric filters Is either re cycled to the process or Is marketed for other uses. For example, one asbestos tex tile mill recycles large quantities of longer-flber asbestos for process use and sells more than 90 percent of the remain ing collected materials to a brake lining manufacturer. Consequently, a slgnlflcant portion of tbe Increased quantities eof "waste" asbestos materials which will result from the implementation of the standard will not require disposal. Where disposal is required, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regu lations (29 CFR 1910-93a(h> > require that any asbestos waste, consigned for disposal, be collected and disposed of in sealed impermeable bags or other closed, impermeable containers. The contamina tion of ground water supplies with asbes tos from landfill disposal Is not consid ered a potential problem. The substitution of ceramic wool, min eral wool, and fiberglass for asbestos is not now known to be a problem. There is no evidence that these materials cause health effects in the concentrations found in occupational or ambient environments. Although the standard was not based on economic considerations, EPA is aware of the impact (55) and considers it to be reasonable. Costs among the various sources covered by the standard are quite variable. Although the standard may ad versely affect some individual plants or companies which are marginal opera tions, it appears that such effects will be minimal and the impact to the asbestos industries as a whole will not be large.

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 approval or intention to deny the waiver. Any waiver of com pliance granted by the Administrator will 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 the Administrator, and If denied, win in clude the reasons for denial. Although the demolition of buildings or structures containing asbestos ma terial and the spraying of asbestos ma terial will In many cases be modifications of existing stationary sources, the Ad ministrator's approval is not required be fore beginning such ope.-ations. Section 112(c)(1) of the act specifies that no person may construct any new source or modify any existing source...........unless 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 erty operated, it will be complying with the standard, and there is 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: (1) Reference method, (2) equivalent method, and (3) 3tentative method. Reference methods are the pre * ^ ^ 'T-i^-ilfc-rnirir Page 24 | BB 0002745 [ M ^ ferred methods of 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 is any method of sampling and analyzing which has been demonstrated to the Admin istrator'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 emission 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 air pollutants to any State which submits ait adequate procedure to the Administrator The requisite procedure for requesting such delegation will be issued in the future by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Concern for the dangers inherent in the occupational exposure to carcino genic substances was one or th reasons for enactment of the act. See i-v:- Re port No. 91-1282, 9lst Congloss, d ses sion, 2 UD70). Administrative attention was ad dressed to the problem about l year ago. On May 22, 1972, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health requested 'na tion from the Director of the Notional Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) on nine vuer-tr.nres al leged to be carcinogens. As rare of his effort to gain the best avail,.hie scien tific data, the Director pubh.u.ed on July 6, 1972, at 37 FR 13285, a request for information concerning 15 substances. The data, arguments, and conclusion.-; 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 6 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 dangei of exposure (o TO of the carcin ogens lifted in the slandaid. On February 9. 1373. the Assistant Secretary of Labor published in tne Fed eral Register (38 FR 4037). a notice of the receipt of the petition for issuance of an emergency temporary standard, and a request for ml conation from in terested persons on the issues invu,ved. In response to Lise notice, more than 50 written comments w\ re received, pro viding valuable additional information, data, and materials concerning carcin ogens. On the basis of a)l the relevant Infor mation before us, it is hereby found that; (1) The 14 carcinogens listed in the emergency temporary standard are toxic end physically harmful: (2) that exposure to any of the 14 substances poses a grave dangei to employees; (3) that employees are pits--illy being ex posed to the substances: arid (4) l-iat the emergency temporary standard set. forth (cWl) Controlled areas,--(i) Any area below is necessary to protect the employ in which any carcinogen is present shall ees from such exposure. be deemed a controlled area.

The standard Is based on the findings that the substances listed in ti,e standard are harmful, that exposure to any of the substances poses a grave dan ger. that employees are being exposed to them, and that the emergency temporary standard Is necessary to protect the em ployees from grave danger. 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 all 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 ail the require ments of the standard. The emergency temporary standard has been reexamined in the light of the new comments and argu tents. And it has been determined dial certain changes m the standard are necessary to tailor the requirements for different types of workplaces and work operations, and to clarify the standard. Therefore, pursuant to section 6(c) of the Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (84 Stat. 1596: 29 U-S.C. 655) and Secretary of Labor's Or der No. 12-71 (36 FR 8754), 29 CFR 1910.93c is revised to read as set forth below. The principal changes made by the re vision are: (1) The standard as revised deals more particularly with different work opera tions. such as isolated environment op erations, closed system operations, and open vessel operations: <2) The particularization of the stand ard has permitted the specification of different control measures necessary to protect employees engaged in the differ ent categories of operations. Compare paragraph (c)(1) with paragraph (c) (2); and, (3) The legend on the warning sign and label is changed to apprise employees more accurately of the hazards to which they are exposed. The original findings concerning the toxicity of all the four teen substances listed in the standard, the grave danger resulting from expo sure to any of them, and the exposure of employees to them, are reconfirmed. And the standard as revised is considered necessary and sufficient to protect em ployees from the grave danger from ex posure to any of the substances. 1910.93c Carcinogens. the area, be required to wash their hards (a) Scope and application.

POLICY ON REQUESTS FOR HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATIONS UNDER O.S.H.A. I. INTRODUCTION The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 42, Part 85, Requests lor 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 annually1 . j 3B 0002762 "T| Any request for health hazard evaluation known to have been submitted by an employee or employee group 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 NIOSH. The Plant Manager will be responsible Aj U for advising NIOSH of information or photographs which would compromise trade secrets. 1 PPG OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH POLICY MANUAL SECTION 10.5 ISSUE DATE: JUNE 1, 1973 REQUESTS FOR HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATIONS (Code of Federal Regulations.

It is therefore stated that all respirators used in the division will be NIOSH approved for contaminant present. A11 OSHA regulations promulgated contain a section on rcpirator 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. RLR/ls R. L.

J. Kloot1 and R. H. Schulz3 ABSTRACT This publication lists devices approved jointly by the Secretary of Interior and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, as of May 24, 1972, under provisions of Section 11.2, Part 11, Subchapter B of Chapter 1, Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations (37 F.R. 6244, March 25, 1972), for use in mines as respiratory protection in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, and in gases, vapors, dusts, fumes, and mists. Included are self-contained breathing apparatus, gas masks, and supplied-air, dust, fume, mist, and chemicalcartridge respirators. Names and addresses of manufacturers appear in the appendix. 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-air 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. 1 Research chemist. 3 Supervisory research chemist (now Director, Testing and Certification Laboratory, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Depart- 3 oent Health, Education, and Welfare, Morgantown, W.
