FROM T. E. HODGES CHIEF EI2DCERICAL ENGINEER ROCKDALE WORKS TO SEE DISTRIBUTION 1990 February 05 RE: FIAMASTIC - EIECIRICAL CABLE OOATIH3 - 15% ASBESTOS It has been known since 1988 that all Flamastic cable tray fixe retardant ooating used at Rockdale Works contains 15 percent asbestos. At that time a policy was adopted for dealing with these installations. This policy is: A) Maintenance, Construction and Engineering should be cautious about arbitrarily vrorking in, on or about these cable trays since asbestos fibers oould be generated. B) Cables should not be removed from these cable trays unless they are not coated and their removal does not disturb other coated cable or they are removed by an asbestos removal con tractor using proper procedures. C) If flamastic coated cables are being replaced or abandoned they should be cut off at both ends of the cable tray, taped, and narked. D) In the past eight years, it has been and continues to be the policy of Rockdale Works not to apply flamastic to new installations. T. E.
