Specialty Chemicals Division - Purchased 6oods Quality Program Gasket Team
The minutes of our meeting of March 5, 1987 are noted below.
A. Steve Powe presented copies of stores gasket catalogs for Institute, South Charleston and Texas City. Service level Information for stores Items was not readily available.
B. Sherry Murphree Indicated that the West Virginia locations spend about $312M/yr. on gaskets, gasket materials and packing. Packing accounts for only 5 or 10% of the total. Anticipated expenditures for the next two years are $800M/yr. The Increase Is due in part to the anticipated phase out of low cost gasket materials (l.e. asbestos). Report attached.
C. A1 Montero (who was representing CED for Don Kurle) reviewed UCC and Industry specifications. It was noted that some UCC specifications referred to manufacturers who no longer manufacture/sell asbestos gaskets/materials.
A1 reported that the recommendations (of the EM&TS CED team) covering a C&P program for the phase-out of asbestos In the work place had been approved by C&P Management. Sherry Murphree will participate on the C&P team that will develop Implementation plans. (A copy of related correspondence Is attached).

D. John Ruddle/Jeff Means presented their findings relating to Accident/Incident reports and Safety Signal reports. Because South Charleston does not file A/I reports In a central location, Jeff was unable to submit a suitable sample.
E. The team spent a good deal of time discussing a flow chart that represents gasket utilization from specification thru Installatlon/start up. The copy attached represents the team consensus.
This chart will serve as a tool for Identifying areas where Improvements are required.
F. The following "Mini-Teams" were established to list the perceived "Problems" throughout the specification - Installation cycle. The teams will meet In person or via telephone conference call as appropriate.

6. A preliminary attempt at-Identifying.problems resulted In the following lists:
Specifications:
1) UCC specifications not compatible with marketplace (materials no longer available)
2) New technologies not addressed
3) No procedure for variance review

4) Manpower shortage In engineering
5) Specifications are not linked to material codes (stores codes/MMC).
6) Training to use specifications and to Identify the availability of specifications

Stores:
1) Lack of familiarity with resources (CRT, Flsche, Catalogs)
2) Storage of material (damaged material)
3) Incomplete stores catalog
4) Stores order controls
5) Inconsistent descriptions and no maintenance
6) Lack of training - shortage of people

SUBJECT: Final Draft of Recommended C&P Program Phase-Out Use of Asbestos-Containing Materials In Work Place
Chemicals and Plastic Group
Attached herewith on behalf of the Special Working Group Is a copy of the subject document dated 9/29/86. It Is a slightly fine-tuned version of the 8/28/86 version which was transmltteo to you under my transmittal also dated 8/2B/86. The changes that have been made are of a clarifying rather than substantive nature.
At this point, we have not made an effort to obtain broad, formal review of the subject program. However, Larry Calvert has discussed It briefly with the Maintenance APH's and Maintenance Managers. In addition, Stan Clark arranged for Its review toy the Safety, Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), and your staff has reviewed It. Feedback Indicates these groups to be supportive of the concept, but some have expressed concern regarding the January 1, 1989 date specified for the discontinuance of the purchase of asbestos-containing materials, believing It to be optimistic. Some of the concern relates to the following:
1. CED's ability to revise and reissue the VfcP Specifications and .the Valve Manual In time to support the deadline. The responsible CED specialists have carefully reviewed this matter and believe that reissuance of these Manuals by July 1, 1988 Is realistic. This date has not been published, however.

Labor union representatives are currently endorsing a pro posed asbestos ban by the Environmental Protection Agency. The unions contend that OSHA's permissible exposure limit of 0.2 fibers per cubic centimeter of air, effective July 21, provides Insuf ficient worker protection.
The proposed EPA rule would ban completely, five asbestos products that have effective substitutes. These products are: roof ing felts, flooring felts, vinyl-asbestos floor tile, asbestos clothing, and asbestos/cement pipe and fittings. Other asbestos uses would be phased out over 10 years.

RECOMMENDED C&P PROGRAM
CHEMICAL AMD PLASTICS BUSINESS 6R0UP (C&P)
60AL: PHASE-OUT USE OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS^1)IM THE WORK PLACE
PURP0SE/BACK6R0UND
The Corporate Charter (1.1) contains the following commitment to employees:
"To provide working conditions, programs of training and education, and persistent review and appropriate modifi cation of facilities and practices ~to protect the health and safety of employees."
It also contains a social cornnltment to conduct business "In accordance with all the applicable national and local laws and regulations."
As a result of available evidence that airborne asbestos In the occupa tional environment had proven to be carcinogenic In man, all C&P Insulation Standards were revised In. 1976 to specify only asbestos-free Insulating materials; and new or replacement Installations of these materials have sub sequently been selected accordingly. Additionally, a Safety/Health Standard designated SH-256 was prepared covering the safe Tcmoval and handling (In cludes disposal) of asbestos-containing Insulating material during renova tion and demolition. The requirements of this Standard equal or exceed those of current applicable government standards.
OSHA's rule-making efforts relative to asbestos usage In the work place are mired In controversy. Hearings on the latest EPA proposal which In cludes the phaseout of all asbestos over a ten-year period are now In prog ress. The proposal states: "EPA Is considering banning the manufacture. Importation, and processing of asbestos construction products and asbestos clothing soon after the rule's promulgation with the category of asbestos friction products banned about five years later, and other asbestos products banned at a later time." Gaskets and packing that contain asbestos are In the category of "other asbestos products" that would apparently be banned after ten years. No peer company that we are aware of has a target date for removal of existing asbestos-containing Insulation, gaskets, or packing; however, one major chemical company has recently discontinued the purchase of asbestos-containing gaskets and packing.
A cost analysis of pipe-size gaskets shows that 6RAF0IL*, probably the most expensive of the acceptable gasket substitute materials. Is, In fact, cost effective when the cost of mandatory work practices associated with the use of asbestos (e.g. wetting for removal or airborne fiber
( ^"Asbestos-containing materials" Include but are not limited to Insulation,
gaskets, packing, welding blankets, and construction products.

exposure monitoring during removal, placing In labeled plastic bags after removal, landfill disposal, and record keeping) Is considered. The same conclusion Is drawn relative to valve packing when the additional considerations of Improved service life and sealablllty are Included.
Consistent with the aforementioned comnltments and the economic use of materials, C&P has concluded that positive actions relative to asbestos-con taining materials^) should be taken.
RECOHHENOEO C&P PROGRAM
Except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Chemicals and Plastics Business Group will:
Continue to phase out the use of asbestos-containing materials:
Asbestos-containing Insulation shall be replaced with asbestos-free materials as required to maintain structural and functional Integ rity.
No asbestos-containing materials shall be purchased after January 1, 1989.
C&P Standard Practices shall be employed for the Identification, removal, modification, and/or disposal of asbestos-containing mate rials; and for use of asbestos-substitute materials.
Evaluation of asbestos-substitute materials shall Include considera tion of health effects as well as suitability for Intended service and cost.
A variance approval procedure shall be employed to cover considera tion of uncommon circumstances. Approval must always Include en dorsement of C&P HS&EA management.
SCOPE
This Recommended Program applies to all C&P operated/hosted facilities. Other components of the Corporation will be apprised of Its content.
DELEGATION
The assignment of duties and authority to carry out the Recommended C&P Program defined herein Is delegated as follows:
