b- Ceiling concentrations: Ten fibers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter(10 f/cc).
OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.21A of February 18, 1981 states that the medical examination requirements of the asbestos standard will be required where the 7 to 8-hour TWA fiber concentration is 0.1 f/cc or greater.
Extensive field monitoring has demonstrated that the proper use of asbestos-containing gaskets can result in dust levels which are less ^ than an 8-hour TWA of 0.1 f/cc. By following the work practices re- f commended in this booklet when using such products, dust levels can be minimized.
