F red eriksen Engineering was engaged by Todd Shipyard Corporation to m onitor concentrations of aix*borne asbestos p articles at th eir L os A n geles shipyard. In accordance with Todd P u rch ase O rder L A 25336, m onitoring was undertaken to provide data fo r com pliance w ith the occupational health and safety standards, ( 29 C F R 1910. 93a " A s b e s to s . n M o n ito rin g took p la c e N o v e m b e r 14, 1973, in the Jo in e r Sh op ( J - s a m p le s ) , th e H u ll 100 A r e a (2 -s a m p le s).a n d the P ip e Shop (1-sa m p le ). . SUMMARY OF RESULTS ' W ith the exception of the gasket cutting operation, sa m p le ,re su lts indicate that the concentration of airborne asbestos fib ers is in excess of the quantity allowed for ceilin g or sh o rt-tim e concentration by O SH A standards, . Control of fiber emitted or personnel protection w ill be required. Com plete re su lts a re tabulated at the end of this rep ort. DISCUSSION OF R E SU LT S O SH A standards (29 C F R 1910. 93a A sb estos) p rovide that no em ployee m ay be exposed at any tim e to airborn e concentrations of asbestos fib e rs in excess of C' ' ' .

The sam pling method used does.not sp ecifically determ ine the ce ilin g concen tration but does determ ine a very short tim e concentration. B y sam pling im m ediately before, after and during the generation of airb orn e p a rtic le s , an indication of ceiling concentrations is obtained. T est results indicate that ceiling concentrations w ere defin itely exceeded in th e H u ll 100 A r e a and in the Jo in e r Shop when no c o n tro l w as u s e d . T h e 8. 2 fib e rs per cubic centim eter m easured in the Jo in e r Shop when using a saw w ith a vacu u m attach m en t, in d icated that the upper lim it o f 10 fib e r s w as probably exceeded during the period when actually cutting. The fib er concentration at the asbestos gasket cutting operation w as w ell below both the m axim um allow able and 8 hour exposure lim its . The resu lts show that a person w itnessing a m arin ite cut in the Jo in e r Shop or entering the H ull A re a of a ship where m arin ite has recently-been cut probably has exposed h im self to a level of asbestos fib ers greater than allow ed by the standards. . Since the eight-hour tim e-w eighted average is only ap plicab le when the m axim um co n ce n tratio n is le s s than 10 fib e r s p e r cu bic c e n tim e te r , c o n tro ls or p e r s o n n e l protection m ust be provided at a ll areas, except at the gasket cutting m achine, regard less of the duration of exposure. -2 - Todd Shipyard Corporation D ecem ber 5, 1973 J-669 1 1 if ii .............. ; e.. ; ji 'a in liin T :J; j fbEKaiH8iiViaifEiillSB R ECO M M E N D A T IO N S The O SH A standards a re such that there are two ways to m eet the com pliance regulations. The fir s t is to control the fibers at the source using vacuum s, ventilation, and sp e cia l tools or handling the asbestos fibers wet. The second method is to let the fib e rs get into the environment and control personnel exposure by re sp ira to rs, sp ecial clothing, change room s, lock ers and m edical examinations. The regulations specify that the exposure lim its shall not be achieved by the use of resp irators or shift rotation except during the time of installation of engineering controls and in situations where engineering controls are technically in feasible or feasib le to an extent that is insufficient to reduce the concentrations below the p rescrib ed lim its . The key words are "technically infeasible" which at this juncture have not been well defined. We believe that controlling airborne asbestos in the Joiner Shop by engineering methods is technically feasib le; controlling the fibers aboard the ship by engineering methods m ay be technically feasible. We believe that a combination of engineering and hygienic controls could be developed to satisfy the OSHA requirements aboard ship. ... j In the interim between now and the tim e engineering controls a re in stalled, we recommend the following steps:. . Joiner Shop . 1) L im it personnel entering the Jo in er Shop to .those with approved respirators. 2) A c q u ir e p o rta b le v e n tila tio n s y s te m to e xh au st at h igh v o lu m e the a ir iri the cabin w h ere m a r in ite is bein g in sta lle d .
