Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic) Some persons may be sensitive to partially cured phenolic or cashew resins and develop dermatitis-type reactions. Dusts of crystalline silica may produce silicosis. IARC has classified pure crystalline silica as a possible carcinogen. Metal dusts can be irritants of the eyes and upper respiratory system. There is little known evidence of chronic industrial poisoning from iron, aluminum, and zinc dusts. Inhalation of concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the OSHA limits may be hazardous to health and may cause serious bodily harm, such as asbestosis. lung cancer or mesothelioma. These diseases may not be recognized until many years after exposure. Medical literature indicates that people who smoke are at a significantly increased health risk when working with airborne asbestos fibers. Carcinogenicity Listing: Asbestos fibers Crystalline silica NTP? Yes No IARC Monographs? Yes Yes OSHA Regulated? Yes No Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Partially Cured Cashew Resins -- skin eruptions similar in appearance to poison ivy. Lung Effects from asbestos and crystalline silica -- coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, impaired pulmonary function. Dusts in eye may cause irritation. Gastrointestinal disturbances possible from ingestion. Emergency and First Aid Procedures -- Should not be necessary from a proper handling of this Friction Material product. HWBU10000184 SECTION VII -- SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES Steps to be taken in cm material la released or splllad: Refer to Section IX (Special Precautions) below and "Recommended Procedures" on Page 4. Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in proper receptacles appropriately labelled in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Place receptacles in an "Authorized Landfill" as designated by federal or state authorities. SECTION VIII -- Special Protection Information Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): Not Required under normal conditions. However, if concentration of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the OSHA standard is created, respirators approved by NlOSH for asbestos fibers should be used. Ventilation: (during all operations which might generate dustincluding grinding and drilling) Local Exhaust: Preferred Mechanical (General): Not applicable Protective Gloves (e.g., cotton, canvas, etc.) should be worn Eye Protection: Safety Glaases should be wom Other Protective Equipment: See paragraph 7 of Recommended Procedures on Page 4 SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS { "' " ~ --- The Friction Material product, as shipped, is not considered hazardous, but machining (grinding and drilling) and/or normal use may create asbestos dust or airborne asbestos fibers in excess of OSHA standard and should be considered hazardous Recommended Precaution -- If airborne asbestos fiber concentrations exceed OSHA limits. NlOSH approved respirators should be worn and proper engineering controls implemented. If product is ground or machined, local exhaust to control exposure to airborne asbestos fibers or dust is recommended. (See "Recommended Procedures" on Page 4.) The work environment should be monitored to determine whether employee exposure exceed OSHA permissible exposure level in accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.1001. Packages containing^the Friction Material Product should be labelled in accordance with OSHA regulation 29 CFR Part 1910.1001 (j) (2) as follows: 1 | DANGER CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS AVOID CREATING DUST CANCER AND LUNG OISEASE HAZARD Standard industrial hygiene practices, including good housekeeping and vacuuming or wet cleaning work surfaces to prevent asbestos fibers or dust from becoming airborne, should be instituted or implemented and maintained.

HWBUI0000185 RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES FOR REDUCING ASBESTOS DUST DURING BRAKE SERVICING While most friction materials used for brake service may still contain asbestos, many suppliers are now replacing asbestos with steel, mineral, and/or synthetic fibers. The OSHA regulations refer directly to the as bestos used in friction materials. However, since the long term medical effects of the non-asbestos fibers are unknown, it is suggested that exposure levels be controlled for ail replacement friction materials. necessary, there is the possibility that the permissi ble exposure level (PEL) may be exceeded, in which case respirator protection is required. There must be local exhaust ventilation such that worker exposures are maintained below the PEL. Local ex haust ventilation consists of dust collection hoods or enclosures connected by duct or piping to a collec tion filter and suction source. 1. The OSHA regulations on asbestos exposure em phasize two levels for airborne concentrations of asbestos. These levels determine (1) if the work place is in compliance with the regulations, and (2) if not, what action must be taken. (1) The Permissible Exposure Level (PEL): 0.2 fi ber per cc, 8 hour time weighted average (TWA). (2) The Action Level: 0.1 fiber per cc 8 hour TWA. (The regulation is not activated if fiber exposure remains below 0.1 fiber per cc). If certain precautions are taken, it is believed that the workplace can be maintained at levels below the Action Level, and if this is the case, several requirements of the OSHA regulations may be avoided. Monitoring of these levels is required where exposure is or may be expected to exceed the Action Level. 2 Areas where brakes are serviced should be set aside. If concentrations exceed the permissible ex posure level (PEL), a "regulated area" must be es tablished which restricts occupancy to authorized personnel. Where a "regulated area" is designated a warning sign must be displayed at each entrance to the area: DANGER ASBESTOS CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY RESPIRATORS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE REQUIRED IN THIS AREA 3. When removing worn friction materials or cleaning used brake parts, remove the accumulated dust with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a High Effi ciency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. If removing ac cumulated dust or other debris from the brake as sembly, alternate wet methods may be used: (a) Compressed air/solvent bottle system where parts are sprayed with a mist and the wetted particles are removed with a wet rag, or (b) Solvent spray-mist with final clean-up with a wet rag. Do not use com pressed air or dry brushing for cleaning unless the assembly is enclosed and properly exhausted. (Re fer to OSHA Asbestos Regulations, CFR Title 29. Part 1910.1001, Appendix F). 5. In certain grinding operations, where concentrations cannot be reduced below the permissible exposure level (PEL), a respirator program shall be used. The respirator must be one approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for the concentrations encountered. Respirators may also be required during certain maintenance, start-up or emergency situations where engineering controls cannot maintain con centrations below the PEL. Where a regulated area is designated for concentrations exceeding the PEL, approved respirators with high efficiency filters must be worn. 6. Industrial vacuum cleaner bags containing asbestos dust, cloths used for wiping brake assemblies, used cartridges from respirators, and disposable work clothing should be sealed in plastic bags and la beled with the following warning label printed in let ters of sufficient size and contrast to be readily visi ble and legible: DANGER CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS AVOID CREATING DUST CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD All asbestos waste should be disposed of in accor dance with OSHA and EPA asbestos regulations and local ordinances. 7. Good housekeeping is essential in a workplace where asbestos-containing materials are handled. Industrial vacuum cleaners equipped with High Effi ciency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters should be used for removing accumulations of asbestos dust and waste. Never use compressed air or dry sweeping for cleaning. Water or other dust suppressants should be applied if brooms are used. 8. Good personal hygiene practices are important in minimizing asbestos dust exposure. Do not smoke. Wash before eating. Shower after work. If the PEL is exceeded, protective clothing must be worn. Change to work clothes upon arrival at work and change from work clothes at conclusion of work. Do not take work clothing home. Laundering of asbes tos contaminated clothing shall be done so as to prevent release of airborne asbestos fibers in ex cess of the permitted exposure level. 4. Whenever possible, purchase friction materials preground and ready for installation. If machining is CAUTION: DO NOT BREATHE ASBESTOS duct HWBUI0000186
