Keating - G4WA DMEH Central File Per your request, attached is a MSDS on Transite manufactured by Johns-Manville and a booklet on "Recommended Work Practices for Field Fabriaction of Asbestos Cement Sheet". As indicated on the MSDS, this specific Transite material contains from 35-40% Chrysotile Asbestos Fiber by weight. The Director of Johns-Manville's industrial hygiene section indicated they have done quite a bit of sampling during the fabrication of their product (cutting, drilling, sanding, etc.) to determine what were the normal ranges of personnel exposures. He indicated the following were "ball park" personnel exposures for the various tasks: Transite Fabrication with No Wetting and No Ventilation Job Task Normal Range of Exposures 1. Skil Power sawing with masonry blade 10-15 fibers/cc 2. Drilling horizontally (produces chips rather than dust) <2 fibers/cc 3. Filing of a cut edge By hand w/coarse file With power sander <2 fibers/cc 10-15 fibers/cc I would recommend that you write to the Asbestos Information Association and purchase additional booklets to provide the appropriate maintenance, CED and contractors who would be field fabricating Transite.

For the purpose of tills section. il> "Asbestos" Includes chrysotllc. amoslte. crocidolite. tremolite. anthophylllte, and actinolite. 12> "Asbestos fibers" means asbestos fibers longer than S micrometers. ib) Permissible exposure fo airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers--(1) Standard effective July 7, 1972. The 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers to which any employee may be exposed shall not exceed five fibers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air. as determined by the method pre scribed in paragraph (e) of this section. >2> Standard effective July 1, 1976. The 8-hour time-weighted average air borne concentrations of asbestos fibers tp which any employee may be exposed shall not exceed two fibers, longer than S micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air, as determined by the method pre scribed in paragraph <e> of this section. (3) Ceiling concentration. No em ployee shall be exposed at any time to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fibers, longer than S micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air, as determined by the method pre scribed in paragraph (e> of this section. <c) Methods of compliance--(1) En gineering methods, (i) Engineering con trols. Engineering controls, such as, but not limited to, isolation, enclosure, ex haust ventilation, and dust collection, shall be used to meet the exposure limits prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section. (li) Local exhaust ventilation. (a> Local exhaust ventilation and dust col lection systems shall be designed, con structed. Installed, and maintained in accordance with the American National Standard Fundamentals Governing the Design and Operation of-Local Exhaust Systems. ANSI Z9.2-1971, which is In corporated by reference herein. See 11910.6 concerning the avail ability of ANSI Z9.2-1971, and the maintenance of a historic file in connec tion therewith. The address of the Amer ican National Standards Institute is given in 5 1910.100. (iii) Particular tools. All hand-op erated and power-operated tools which may produce or release asbestos fibers in excess of the exposure limits pre scribed in paragraph ib) of this section, such as. but not limited to. saws, scorers, abrasive wheels, and drills, shall be pro vided with local exhaust ventilation sys tems in accordance with subdivision <ii> of this subparagraph. (2) Work practices-- Wet methods. Insofar as practicable, asbestos shall be handled, mixed, applied, removed, cut, scored, or otherwise worked in a wet state sufficient to prevent the emission of airborne fibers in excess of the ex posure limits prescribed in paragraph (b> of this section, unless the usefulness of the product would be diminished thereby. (ii) Particular products and opera tions. So asbestos cement, mortar, coat ing. grout, plaster, or similar material containing asbestos shall be removed from bags, cartons, or other containers in which they are shipped, without being either wetted, or enclosed, or ventilated so as to prevent effectively the release of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of the limits prescribed in paragraph of this section. <iii> Spraying, demolition, or removal. Employees engaged in the spraying of asbestos, the removal, or demolition of pipes, structures, or equipment covered or insulated with asbestos, and In the removal or demolition of asbestos In sulation or coverings shall be provided with respiratory equipment in accord ance with paragraph (d)(2) (iii) of this section and with special clothing in ac cordance with paragraph (d) (3) of this section. (d) Personal protective equipment-- (1) Compliance with the exposure limits prescribed by paragraph (b) of this sec tion may not be achieved by the use of respirators or shift rotation of em ployees, except: (1) During the time period necessary to install the engineering controls and to Institute the work practices required by paragraph (c) of this section; (if) In work situations in which the methods prescribed In paragraph (c) of this section are either technically not feasible or feasible to an extent insuffi cient to reduce the airborne concentra tions or asbestos fibers below the limits prescribed by paragraph (b) of this section; or (ill) In emergencies. (iv) Where both respirators and per sonnel rotation are allowed by subdivi sions (i). till, or dll) of this subpara graph. and both are practicable, person nel rotation shall be preferred and used. < 2) Where a respirator is permitted by subparagraph fl> of this paragraph, it shall be selected from among those ap proved by the Bureau of Mines, Depart ment of the Interior, or the National In stitute for Occunntional Safety and Health. Department of Health, Educa tion. and Welfare. undr the provisions of 30 CFR Part 11 (37 Pit. 6244. Mar. 25, 1972). and shall be used in accordance with subdivisions (i'. (li), (iii), and (iv) of this subparagraph. Air purifying resp'rators. A reusa ble or single u*e air purifying respirator, or a respirator described in subdivision (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph, shall be used to reduce the concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in the respirator below the exposure limits prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section, when the ceiling or the 8-hour time-weighted aver age airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers are reasonably expected to exceed no more than 10 times those limits. (ii) Powered air purifying respirators. A full facepiece powered air purifying respirator, or a powered air purifying respirator, or a respirator described in subdivision (iii) of this subparagraph, shall be used to reduce the concentra tions of airborne asbestos fibers in the respirator below the exposure limits pre scribed in paragraph (b) of this section, when tlie ceiling or the 8-hour timeweighted average concentrations of asbestos fibers are reasonably expected to exceed 10 times, but not 100 times, those limits. (iii) Type "C" supplied-air respirators, continuous flow or pressure-demand class. A type "C" continuous flow or pres sure-demand. supplied-air respirator shall be used to reduce the concentra tions of airborne asbestos fibers in the respirator below the exposure limits pre scribed in paragraph (b) of this section, when the celling or' the 8-hour timeweighted average airborne concentra tions of asbestos fibers are reasonably expected to exceed 100 times those limits. (Iv) Establishment of c respirator pro gram.
