MSDS AND HAZARD EVALUATION FOR A/C BATCH (AND SLURRY) AND FINES
April 25, 1986
Attached is the proposed MSDS and Hazard Evaluation for A/C Batch (and Slurry) and A/C Fines at the Riverside and Hillsboro plants. The MSDS is for in-plant use only. The Hazard Evaluation is for our records.
Please provide any comments by April 30, for we need to get this into the MSDS file by the end of May.
Thanks.

__ htp Human/animal
qsha 29CFR1910.1001
ACUTE EFFECTS: Inhalation of dust may cause irritation and coughing. Skin contact with
dusts may cause irritation and itching. Direct eye contact with dust may cause redness and irritation.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: Inhalation: Excessive exposure to silica and asbestos dust causes a disabling scarring of the lungs, or pneumonoconiosis, called "silicosis" and "asbestosis," which gradually reduces lung capacity and efficiency. Main symptoms include coughing, decreased vital capacity, basal rales, cyanosis, cor pulmonale, clubbing of the fingers, anorexia, weakness and weight loss. Radiologic studies may show diffuse increase in lung opacities and pleural calcifications.
Asbestos is classified as a human carcinogen by the IARC and NTP and is regulated by OSHA as a human carcinogen. Asbestos-exposed workers show an increased incidence of pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma and high rates of respiratory cancer. The incidence of pul monary fibrosis and lung cancer in asbestos-exposed workers is greatly increased by smoking. Reports associating cancer to other body organs exist, although the evidence is not clear.
Eye Contact: Prolonged exposure to asbestos may cause conjunctivitis.
Skin Contact: Prolonged exposure to asbestos may cause asbestos warts and dermatitis, usually confined to the hands and forearm.

FOR INTERNAL CERTAINTEED USE ONLY
5. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Avoid the generation of dust. FIRST AID Eye Contact: Flush well with running water for at least fifteen minutes. Get
medical help if irritation persists. Skin Contact: Cleanse with soap and warm water. Get medical attention if
irritation persists. Upper Respiratory: Remove from exposure. If irritation persists, get medical
help.
6. PHYSICAL HAZARDS
None
7. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory Protection: If dust is not controlled, use respirators approved by the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, or NIOSH.
Reuseable or Single Use Air Purifying Respirator: When the ceiling or the 8 hour TWA airborne concentration of asbestos and/or silica are expected to exceed no more than 10 times those limits.
Full Faced Piece Air Purifying Respirator or a Powered Air Purifying Respirator: When ceiling or 8 hour TWA concentration are reasonably expected to exceed 10 times, but not 100 times, those limits. Type "C" Supplied Air Respirators, Continuous Flow, or Pressure-Demand Class: When the exposures can reasonably be expected to exceed 100 times the 8 hour TWA or ceiling concentrations. Special Clothing: When airborne exposures exceed ceiling level, coveralls or similar
whole body clothing, head coverings, gloves, dust coverings. Eye Protection: Goggles or safety glasses to prevent dust in eyes.

9. STORAGE INFORMATION
See Section 11.
10. SPILL LEAK, AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Pulverized Pipe (Fines) must be handled in a manner which avoids airborne dispersion of asbestos or silica dust. Use wet or vacuum method for cleanup. Avoid inhalation of dusts.
Waste Disposal Method
Dispose in accordance with Federal, state and local regulations.
11. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
See the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulation 29 CFR 1910.1001 which regulates workplace exposure to asbestos dust and any state or local workplace codes regulating asbestos exposure.

MINIMAL HAZARD - Material that will not bum.
This degree should include: Any material which will not bum in air when exposed to a temperature of 1500F for a period of 5 minutes.
REFERENCE
1
SLIGHT HAZARD - Materials that must be pre heated before ignition can occur. Materials in this degree require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. This degree should include:
Materials which will bum in air when exposed to a temperature of 1500#F for a period of 5 minutes or less; Liquids, solids, and semisolids having a flash point above 200F; This degree includes most ordinary combustible materials.
C 2 MODERATE HAZARD - Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur. Materials in this degree would not under normal conditions form hazardous atmospheres with air, but under high ambient temperatures or under moderate heating may release vapor in sufficient quantities to produce hazardous atmospheres with air. This degree should include: Liquids having a flash point above 100F, but not exceeding 200F; Solids and semisolids which readily give off flammable vapors.
3 SERIOUS HAZARD - Liquids and solids that can be ignited under all ambient temperature conditions. Materials in this degree produce hazardous atmos pheres with air under almost all ambient tempera tures, or, though unaffected by ambient temperatures are readily ignited under almost all conditions. This degree should include: Liquids having a flash point below 73F (22.8C) and having a boiling point at or above 100F (37.8C) and those liquids having a flash point at or above 73F (22.8C) and below 100F (37.8C). (Class IB and Class 1C flammable liquids.)
CTD007344
FLAMMABILITY CRITERIA
4
SEVERE HAZARD - Materials which will rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature or which are readily dispersed in air, and which will bum readily. This degree should include:
Gases; Cryogenic materials; Any liquid or gaseous material which is a liquid while under pressure and having a flash point below 73F(22.8C) and having a boiling point below 100oF(37.8C). (Class 1A flammable liquids.) Materials which on account of their physical form or environmental conditions can form explosive mixtures with air and which are readily dispersed in air, such as dust of combustible solids and mists of flammable or combustible liquid droplets.
Page 4 REFERENCE
4. REACTIVITY
MINIMAL HAZARD - Materials which in themselves are normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions and which are not reactive with water.
1
SLIGHT HAZARD - Materials which in themselves are normally stable, but which can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures or which may react with water with some release of energy but not violently.
2
MODERATE HAZARD - Materials which in themselves are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical change but do not detonate. This degree should include materials which can undergo chemical change with rapid release of energy at normal temperatures and pressures or which can undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures. It should also include those materials which may react violently with water or which may form potentially explosive mixtures with water.
3
SERIOUS HAZARD - Materials which in themselves are capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or explosive reaction but which require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under confinement before initiation.
CTD007345
This degree should include materials which are sensitive to thermal or mechanical shock at elevated temperatures and pressures or which react explosively with water without requiring heat or confinement.

SEVERE HAZARD - Materials which in themselves are readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures.
