Procedures have been adopted to.prevent asbestos fiber pollution in building repair operations involving removal of old pipe insulation. 4) Substitution of nonasbestos implements and materials such as gloves, insulation board, tape has been going on for quite some time and commendable progress has already been made in this regard. The recommendation is to replace all uses of asbestos with substitutes where they are available as soon as feasible (Appendix F). 5) Procedures based on proven methods for controlling the release of asbestos fibers have been outlined for the various areas in Research particularly the above mentioned areas. Regular periodic assessment of the ambient asbestos fiber level in these areas by means of appropriate methods is recommended. 6) In cases where clothing could become contaminated it is recommended that disposable protective garments be utilized and disposed of in accordance with OSHA standards (Appendix G). 8004 0694 RESEARCH TASK FORCE ON CARCINOGENS IN THE WORKPLACE Chemical Sciences Laboratory Engine Research Office Long Range Research Manufacturing Processes Laboratory Material Sciences Laboratory Research Planning and Services Ofc.

This report summarizes findings and recommendations relevant to asbestos. Background Studies into the occupational factors involved in the development of cancer have provided clear evidence that cancer is of serious occupational concern in some circumstances. Personnel and Organizational Staff has exerted a continuing effort to provide employe protection, as knowledge of toxic/ hazardous materials has accumulated. The Company shares public concerns relative to the control of toxic/hazardous materials because of its regard for the protection of the environment, and employe health and the potential impact of legislation on its products and manufacturing operations. In addition the right to examine certain reports from the Company's computer file of hazardous materials, and on-line access to the Materials and Toxicology System (MATS) has been extended to the UAW by contract. Resolution of workplace exposure concerns relative to the management of toxic/hazardous materials involves a consideration of the relationship between the internal and external environments. F.mphasis on wastewater pretreatment standards, toxic pollutant effluent standards, nonregulated air pollution emissions and solid waste management has been increased. These factorsreinforce the desirability of reducing the amount of waste materials generated by the Company through more efficient research and manufacturing techniques. This includes the substitution of materials where necessary. The Company has been subjected to a growing number of laws which regulate material use, transport, handling and disposal. Under certain environmental laws, a "knowing/willful" criminal violation can punish individuals as well as officers of the Company with up to five years imprisonment. Civil and criminal penalties have maximum fines up to $25,000 per day and a citation usually consists of multiple related violations. The Company recognizes the significants of these regulations. Since March 1977, when Directive B-101 was issued designating responsibilities within the Company, new standards have been issued, additional standards are anticipated, and the level of potential financial liability has increased. Directive B101 was revised September 22, 1980 establishing a Toxic/Hazardous Substance program manage ment activity `within Environmental and Safety Engineering Staff and designating related responsibilities of other staff and line components. Positive evidence has established that inhalation of asbestos-containing dust can cause chronic respiratory disease (asbestosis) as well as several forms of cancer. The most common complication of asbestosis is cancer of the lung. Mesothelioma, involving the membranes lining the chest and abdominal cavities, is now considered a cause of death among asbestos workers. Other forms include lung cancer and gastro-intestinal cancer. 8004 0696 2 Asbestos is used in a variety of automotive components and thus in the research laboratory many occupational exposures are possible. The permissible OSHA exposure limit at the present time is 2.0 fibers per cubic centimeter of air which may be changed to as low as 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter by 1981. An EPA ban on all non-critical uses may occur by 1985. In research laboratories asbestos can possibly be encountered in the following materials: 1) 2)3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Insulation materials (e.g., gloves, Filler in finished plastics Mastics Gaskets Clutch plates Brakes Contaminant in talc Roofing materials Millboard (transite) Asbestos reinforced paper Core and mold making materials Safety apparel furnaces, curtains, tape, rope, paper) Objective s The Research Task Force was established to implement the work plans developed' by the Corporate Task Force and establish additional plans that deal specifically with Research problems regarding carcinogens. These plans include identifying under what conditions and where Category I and II carcinogens are used in Research. Asbestos was designated as priority one by the Corporate Task Force and thus received 'first consideration. The strategy in general involves identification of workplace areas where Research operations need review to see if they meet OSHA regulations and in cases of possible non-compliance the determination of whether the strategy should be used in compliance or elimination. OSHA Classification In 1977 OSHA issued a draft policy listing various chemicals that could be classified as "Category I and Category II" carcinogens. The final listing is due later this year, and is fairly certain to include asbestos. According to OSHA policy. Category I substances are those known to be carcinogenic in humans or those that have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic in two separate laboratory animal studies. Category II substances are those where available data is suggestive of carcinogenicity in test animals and humans or un replicated tests indicate potential occupational carcinogeni itv in a single mammalian test species. 8004 0697 3 Survey The following activities were surveyed for asbestos in Research facilities Chemical Sciences Laboratory Erfeine Research Office Long Range Research Office Manufacturing Processes Laboratory Material Sciences Laboratory Research Planning and Services Office System Research Laboratory Vehicle Concepts Office In Appendix E,. survey sheets for each office or laboratory are summarized and grouped according to Research facility, i.e., Gas Turbine Laboratory, Manufacturing Development Center, Scientific Research Laboratories, and Auto Laboratory, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Survey Results indicate a number of areas in Research that may involve the generation of asbestos fiber in amounts that justify consideration of precautionary measures: 1. Brake lining research - Manufacturing Processes Laboratory 2. Brake Shoe Changing (garage) - Research Planning and Services 3. Chassis rolls in Engine Research - Research Planning and Services 4. Machining Shop - Research Planning and Services 5. Building Repairs - Dearborn General Services; Glendale Research & Planning Services Recommendations Brake Lining Research - Manufacturing Processes Laboratory A. If research on brake linings using asbestos is resumed, a separate hood exhaust system should be provided. B. An OSHA approved vacuum should be provided for cleanup. C. Areas designated for asbestos work should be marked with hazard signs. D. Ambient air concentrations of asbestos should be determined in rooms S1151, 1154, 1158 & 1160 by the following 3 methods periodically and continued at regular intervals designated by Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology. 1) EPA-Phase Contrast Microscopy 2) Phase Contrast Microscopy with Index of Refraction 3) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) 8004 06?8 4 E. , Disposal of friable and encapsulated asbestos waste material as well as safety procedures for personal hygiene in handling asbestos should adhere to OSHA CFR 29 1910.1001 (2) (Appendix G). These materials shall be collected and disposed of in double sealed impermeable bags and packed in metal drums for MDMR approved land-fill. Chassis Rolls GTL Bldg. If 1065 - Research Planning and Services SRL Room E2226A SVL Room S2002 The ambient air concentration of asbestos is not available, therefore, SRL Room E2226A should be a representative testing area. The basis for making a decision as to whether this operation is a potential hazard will be the result of this analysis. Brake and Clutch Repair (Garage) - Research Planning and Services Standard operating procedures should be followed (Appendix C, Plant Engineering Letter - (780-1 March 17 , 1980). An approved OSHA vacuum for cleanup should be obtained. Machine Shop - Research Planning and Services A special area in the machine shop should be designated for asbestos work. This area should be properly ventilated, marked, and contain an OSHA approved vacuum. Building Repairs (Pipe Insulation) - General Services Standard procedures for doing repairs on buildings containing asbestos should be followed (Appendix C). A survey of nonproduction materials has been conducted by Plant Engineering, General Services and the report forwarded to Manufacturing Staff (Appendix D). A copy of this report should be obtained for the Task Force records. 8004 0699 Appendix A Vice President Research February 21, 1980 Hr. N. A. Cj ostein Mr. S. Cratch Mr. J. J. Harwood Mr. M.

Walsh Subject: Carcinogens in the Work Place A corporate task force on Carcinogens in the Work Place was established recently in order to examine potential problems and develop action plans to correct them. Serge Gratch represents Research on this task force. A result of the deliberations of this task force has been development of the enclosed Asbestos-Work Plan. Similar vork plans for other materials will be developed in the future. In order to implement this vork plan, we should set up a task force within Research, vith representatives from each Laboratory and Office, charged with identifying under vhat conditions and where suspected carcinogens are used in Research. If any such usage is found, then with the help of Industrial Hygiene, the task force would have to determine vhat actions may be required so that ve meet OSiLA requirements. The first assignment will be to carry out the steps for the case of asbestos-containing materials. I am asking Drs. J. A. Brown and R. C. Machen to co-c'nair this task force. I would appreciate it if each of you would select a representative to this task force. Serge Gratch will provide the liaison between this group and the corporate task force.

I PLANT ENGINEERING LETTER NO. 50-1 MARCH 17, 1960 ASBESTOS - RECOMMENDED 7/ORK PRACTICES Asbestos is a recognized human carcinogen. The first regulation limiting employe exposure to asbestos was promulgated in 1972. In July 1976, the Occupational Safety and ^Health Administration (OSHA) established a two fiber per cubic centimeter exposure i, limit. OSHA is considering an even lower permissible exposure limit indicating growing \Qpncern over asbestos exposure and use. Despite the hazards associated with asbestos fiber, the reduction in allowable exposure limits, and the number of proven cases of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, workers tend to ignore the hazard. A potential hazard exists wherever asbestos is cut, ripped, drilled, ground, or handled in any way which causes dust to become airborne. The best way to minimize the. effects of asbestos exposure is to follow good work practices and use equipment designed to protect employes from breathing asbestos. This article lists the work practices which should be used if asbestos must be handled. These work practices are based on OSHA regulations, Company guidelines, ?.nd common sense. In those cases where asbestos is being removed (as m thermal insulation on pipes), it is suggested that available substitutes be used for replacement. Some substitutes are listed below. Company research projects are presently underway to attempt removal of asbestos from all Company operations wherever it is possible. Pipe Insulation Most pipe insulation installed prior to I960 contains asbestos. Generally maintenance and/or replacement of insulated pipes requires removal of the asbestos covering. To minimize the release of asbestos fibers into the air and decrease potential employe exposure, the following work practices should be followed: . All employes removing asbestos pipe insulation must wear approved respirators and Special clothing. This is not only a good work practice, it is a requirement of OSHA regulation 29CFR 1910.1001 (C)(2)(iii). Contact Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology (313) 337-8955 for information on approved respirators. . OSHA regulation 1910.1001 contains explicit requirements and work practices which must be followed when the potential for asbestos overexposure can occur. The regulation provides details on: respirator programs, change rooms and clothes lockers, area and personal sampling requirements, caution signs and labels, house keeping, waste disposal, medical recordkeeping and medical examinations. The regulation should be consulted and followed particularly in these areas where asbestos is encountered routinely. Isolate the area to keep other employes as far as possible from the repai: operation. The surfaces to be repaired should be wetted down where possible cr treated with commercially available dust suppresant to control dispersion of asbestos fibres. . Place plastic sheeting on the floor beneath the repair s-to sc tl.at - II pieces of insulation, however small,-can be collected when finished- rsdos::: n rud vehicular traffic can redisburse asbestos into the air if pieces are led: or. the riser. -1- PQ8004 0702  If jt is necessary to sweep the asbestos, the floor should be wetted down to keep the fibers from becoming airborne. Approved vacuum cleaners should be used to clean the floor of any remaining dried asbestos dust and small pieces of material (see Plant Engineering Office, Manufacturing Staff Maintenance Bulletin No. 13? for recom mended vacuum cleaners). . All waste, scrap, and debris, as well as asbestos-contaminated clothing, should be placed in pealed, impermeable bags or containers for proper disposal. No asbestoscontaining insulation should ever be placed in open trash containers or dumpsters. All waste material containing asbestos or containers into which they are placed for disposal must be labeled in accordance with OSHA Standard 1910.1001 (G)(2)(i)(n). . because asbestos fiber can be dispersed throughout adjacent areas by ventilation systems, air-supply fans in the vicinity of asbestos removal projects should be turned off; exhaust fans should be left on (unless these ferns are part of an air recirculation system) to keep the area under negative pressure. When repair operations are complete, if the pipe must be reinsulated, asbestos containing products are not to be used for two reasons: (1) cutting and fitting of asbestoscontaining ir.sulaf.cn generates significant amounts of airborne asbestos fiber even though it cannot be seen, ar.d (2) eventually asbestos will be banned from use completely except where suitable substitutes are not available. Future regulations may even require complete removal of asbestos already installed m Company facilities. Currently, there is not any one material on the market which can be substituted for asbestos in all of its applications. As regulations tighten, it is expected that manufacturers will produce substitute materials. There are. insulation substitutes currently on the market and some are listed in "Mechanical Design and Equipment Standards" (Plant Engineering Office, Manufacturing Staff, Page M4-1, January 1976). Typical substitutes are listed below: Steam Pining Inside Boiler Houses Manu facturer Certain-Teed Saint Gobain (CSG) Johns-Manville Owens-Coming Celotex Corporation Pabco Inside Manufacturing and Offlee Buildings Manu fac tur er Certain-Teed Saint C-cbam (CSG) Johns-M anvil !c Owens-Corr.:ng Fibtrglas Pabco Acceptable Material Snap-On (to 4 50 F) Calcium Sulicate Kaylo ,, Careytemp Expanded Silica (1/2") Calcium Silicate Acceptable Material Snap-On Flame Safe Heavy Density Sectional Calcium Silicate -2- 8004 0703 Condensate Piping -- (Inside Building) Manufacturer _ Armstrong Cork Co. Certain-Teed Saint Gobain (CSG) Johns-Manville Owens-Cqrning Fiberglas Acceptable Material FR/Arruaflex Snap-On Flame Safe One Piece Brake and Clutch ReDair Brake and clutch mechanisms on vehicles, presses and cranes utilize asbestos friction materials. Overexposure to asbestos fiber in the air can occur during inspection and repair operations especially when compressed air is used to blow off dust. The Plant Engineering Office, Manufacturing Staff Maintenance Bulletin No. 137 recommends a procedure for minimizing asbestos fiber exposure. Important points are summarized below: . Under no circumstances should compressed air blowoffs be used to clean parts which may contain asbestos laden dust. ; Brake and clutch mechanisms should be cleaned using an industrial vacuum cleaner with a filter system capable of capturing a three micron particle size. Information is available from the Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology Department on availability o'f recommended units. . Disposal of any asbestos laden waste resultant from brake or clutch repair and maintenance or from vacuum cleaning should be by an employe wearing an approved respirator. The waste material and any vacuum cleaner bags should be placed in sealed containers and labeled as to the hazardous nature of their contents. Vacuum cleaner bags are not to be emptied by shaking; these bags are not to be reused. - . CThe. repair' are a ^should be kept clearT of'all visible dust on'the floor. Even small amounts become airborne repeatedly by pedestrian and vehicular traffic. If sweeping .. is practiced, it should be done only after wetting down the floor. Approved vacuum cleaners should be used to clean the dried asbestos dust from the floors. Conventional vacuum cleaners may not be capable of retaining asbestos fibers which may penetrate the filter and be dispersed into the air. p Any grinding or cutting of asbestos cor.t3ir.ing material must be done with local exhaust ventilation which conforms to OSHA Standard 1910.1001. General Precautions * -V The work practices above are intended to help in minimizing tv.~ hazard involved in handling this substance. In addition to insulation removal zr.d brake and clutch repair, the following general precautions are recommended which pertain to respirator usage: ' Employes must be trained in the proper use of respirators and their limitations. Respirators should be cleaned and disinfected after each day's use. Employes must be evaluated by medical personnel to determine if they are qualified to do required tasks while wearing respirators. -38004 0704 I Initial monitoring must be conducted (as prescribed in CFR 1910.10C1 (F)(1) to determine if employes exposure to asbestos is below allowable levels. There are other maintenance materials that may contain asbestos and may be in use at Company facilities. To the extent that commercially available alternates are available, they should be substituted for any materials presently in use which may contain asbestos. While the following list, condensed from a government synopsis of asbestos-containing products, is not all inclusive, it can be useful in suggesting candidate materials tor which asbestos substitutes may already be available: . Paper Products: pipe and boiler covering, sheets for heat insulation, millboard sheet, filtering materials. . Cloth and Woven Products: seals for high temperature gaskets, valve stem packing, insulation for glass-handhr.g toois. . Flame Resistant Garmets: gloves and mittens, sleeves and arm protectors, aprons, blankets. . Asbestos Cement Products: welding shields, siding. . Miscellaneous: acoustical and sprayed thermal insulation, asbestos powder, bulk fiber. In future Plant Engineering Letters we plan to include additional information on asbestos as well as on other material which could contain potentially carcinogenic substances. PROTECTION OF SPPJNKLER HEADS DURING PAINTING OPERATIONS -- UPDATE As .'result of the last article on the above subject (Plant Engineering Letter 79-4) some important comments have been received from the Corporate Fire Control Office. The Fire Control Office concurs with the requirement to cover sprinkler heads during painting operations, however, it should be emphasized that the protective material used iiiuct :.R interfere with the normal operation of the sprinkler. Preference to ''canvas covers" as one of the approved methods of protection should, therefore, be deleted from page 4, line 11 of Letter 79-4. Two references were also made on the same page to cleaning of painted sprinkler heads. Fire Control Bulletin No. S, entitled "Automatic Sprinkler Svstems," dated September 14. 1979, states that painted sprinkler heads should not be cleaned but should be promptly replaced with new he'ads. The reference to cleaning painted sprinkler heads on page 4, lines 16 and 21 of Letter 79-4, should also be deleted. 2-7-8 -48004 0705 Appendix D Hr. S. Gratch cc L. E. Johnson V. Lilac R. F.

After checking with maintenance personnel, we find that the asbestos material has been painted three to four times over the past several years so, basically, there is no raw asbestos material exposed. Also' v/e have-checked in our crib area for asbestos material, which may have been stored in cabinets or shelf areas, and find there is no trace of this material in the crib area. 8004 0710 3 RESEARCH SURVEY SUMMARY OF CARCINOGENS IN THE WORK PLACE Scientific Research Laboratories Asbestos Materials Activity Chemical Sciences Lab Chemistry Dept.
