Harris K. J. Whalen E. M. Fenner W. B. Reitze R. Cambell LABELING OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL Subsequent to my we have explored as what our OSHA letter of August 22 on the question of both what other Divisions are doing as coordinator Bill Reitze recommended labeling well 1 It appears that each Division is deciding and providing independently of each other 2 At the present time there appears to be no company policy regarding the specifics other than the fact that we will be complying with the label requirements 3 The Architectural and Engineered Products Division labels their flat sheets in this manner a If a unit of flat sheets goes to a fabricator then a single label is placed on top of the unit b If a unit of flat sheet goes to a distributor who may break the unit and sell it as individual sheets then they place a loose flier about every two or three sheets within the unit Taking all of these recommendations items into consideration we make the following 1. Any unit shipped to a fabricator air duct or similar is to be labeled by means of affixing one single label on the unit 2 Any randoms of air duct shipped to a job site this generally applies to large diameter air duct where we know for a fact that the pipe is to be cut rebared or otherwise fabricated into fittings on the job site should have each and every piece labeled ----,-- 3 The variety of products being made and fabricated by CorrosionProof would seem to demand that all sections shipped to them should be labeled We feel also that it is imperative that the labels we use in Manville irrespective of Divisions should be the same Also we believe that the printing of these labels should be done at the same neutral place conceivably Denver Otherwise I could envision nothing but difficulty and problems if each plant such as Manville and Waukegan go to a local printing shop requesting numerous labels saying This material contains asbestos and is dangerous to your health or whatever the appropriate wording should be Also these labels should be printed in such a way so that they could be affixed to plastic scrap disposal bags as a warning as required by OSHA By copy of this letter to Bill Reitze I am requesting that he considers providing a design for a uniform label throughout the country as well as providing a single supply point for all plants I would appreciate if these suggestions be given consideration and discussed with the appropriate Market Manager and should with your approval we shall institute the practices outlined . Pipe DHQ - Denver August 22 1972 S. J. McDuff Cipe Cipe Labeling LABELING REQUIREMENTS UNDER NEW OSHA ASBESTOS REGULATION The new OSHA Asbestos Regulations require that be labeled with a warning notice as printed in 1972 Asbestos containing products the Federal Register of June , Both Johns Manville and OSHA recognizes a differentiation between products which contain Asbestos in a free and those which contain Asbestos form or Locked as an intregal part In Asbestos products of the material or Locked- In Asbestos products Transite as a generative designation for a number of products is a Locked Asbestos product Therefore no labeling is required Consequently under normal usage i.e. if the Transite pipe product is used in the form in which it is shipped we are complying with the OSHA regulations by not labeling There is no danger in its being handled installed and used generating any toxic dust The potential exposure as considered by OSHA arises when Transite is either cutpotential machined or reprocessed by our customer The problem seems to fall into two categories 1 Customers purchasing our pipe and making cuts or machining the pipe incidental to its installation For example cutting to size of MOA's sewer pipe or others This work generally is performed at the installation site with Skilsaws Pilot tools or other equipment normally available to the installer 2 Customers purchasing our pipe with intent to fabricate remachine on a production basis or use as a raw material for processing Our Air Duct Fitting fabricator Corrosion proof and certain fabricators of cooling towers are examples Generally work is performed at a centralized location using production equipment Under the present regulations we advise them of any toxic material of our material have a legal obligation to our customers asbestos generated through or from the ' to use At this time we therefore should examine our position in regards to the following 1 On what products and to what extent should we consider labeling 2 In what manner should the various customers be informed as to the toxicity of asbestos ? We have discussed the question of labeling and toxicity information with W. Reitze of Industrial Relations and E. M. Fenner of Environmental Control and they indicated that the first move is up to us Also the general feeling is that we should advise fabricators of the potential hazard without going into detail on either precautions or recommendations as to solutions In regards to the two questions above we any of the Product and Market Managers in this a a 4 manner stand if it ready to get together with is your decision to proceed ~~.

Matthews GHQ - March 12 1969 Arbentos Paper and Millboard Labeling - Inhalation of excessive concentrations of asbestos dust over a long period of time can result in pulmonary injury Every effort should therefore be made to protect people from this risk It is my opinion that Hillboard could present a problem in conjunction with handling cutting and fabricating This opinion la based on ob- servation of our M gasket operations a caution label on Millboard I recommend consideration for Asbestos Paper does not present the same problem aa Hillboard The fible is bonded into the paper and does not appear to become airborne The only dust generated from use of paper that I have observad in M is during the slitting operation This has not been extensive I do not recommend consideration for a caution label on Asbeston Paper at this time Labeling is a combined responsibility botvee Industrial Relations Euvironmental Control and Legal By copy of this letter I am requesting 8.

Attridge J// See Below oe a Subject LABELS PACKAGING MATERIALS A meeting was held this date with the copyholders in attendance to explore how greater control might be exercised over the visual appearance accuracy of data reduction of cost and obsolescence and timeliness of the labels and other packaging identifying materials we use on our products Since we are in the midst of wholesale changes resulting from the reorganization this meeting was timely Each person in the room had an interest in or responsibility for at least one aspect of the situation -- purchasing graphics HSLE compliance logistics etc. le a a During the discussion it became evident that due to past procedures division to division variations central purchasing vs. local purchasing for some items and some plants the vast number of market managers involved trained and untrained etc. -- there is no one single repository or library of labels wraps cartons etc. in Manville including Manville If Legal HSIE Purchasing label looks Design or anyone else like for X product at wants to X plant see what a current a call must be made to that plant to have it sent in It is a hit and miss proposi- tion -- mostly miss Since it is Quality Assurance's responsiblity as I understand it to review and approve all sales literature as it relates to claims for product characteristics and performance -- does this responsibility not flop over to the labels cartons wraps etc. Does Q.A. not have responsiblity for specifications and standards of quality for finished products as well as for packaging and labeling of products If this is true would it not make sense for Q.A. to set up a repository or library of labels -- and a procedure whereby as each label is of the label be required to be sent revised and either from reprinted the vendor a sample or from the person purchasing the label to the central library Please give this soNIC thought and consideration and I think we would all benefit from a discussion of the idea -- M.

Reitze Copies Subject OSHA LETTER NO ER USE OF BROOMS AND CONTAINING WASTE . As you may recall a number of years ago our then President Mr. Clint Burnett issued a notice which in effect eliminated the use of brooms for sweeping where containing waste was present Several years the emergency on the use of later the Federal government when they enacted asbestos standard included a federal prohibition brooms for sweeping containing waste In OSHA Letter No. 7 C. L. Sheckler continued the prohibition on the use of brooms in these circumstances As we know the Federal government in its final asbestos standard did strike that ban on the use of brooms from the new asbestos regulations It is our feeling that in spite of the relaxation of the Federal ban this is one area where we at M are going to have to do better than the Federal regulations As we also know the use of brooms in the sweeping of containing waste can and usually does produce potentially high dust counts Some plants are very effectively using vacuum cleaners for this type of housekeeping The larger chips such as present at a pipe lathe can be wet collected by use of a squeegee or grain scoop These methods of collection may take a slightly longer amount of time but they do eliminate the potential hazard The use of brooms to remove containing waste should immediately be superseded by an alternate system preferably vacuum so as to eliminate this clearly controllable source of contamination W.
