1 contentions presently known to and evaluated by defendants and its attorneys. The following
2 answers at this time are preliminary only in light of the severe time constraints placed upon 3 :
defendant by plaintiffs in responding to these detailed interrogatories which seek information 4 5 from many sources over one hundred years. These answers to interrogatories are an ongoing
6 project and most likely will change as more information is discovered and reviewed Over
7 the years this defendant has acquired a number of smaller companies whose product lines
8 may have discontinued many years ago. The information regarding those prior products, 9
from years past, is limited if not totally non-existent. Defendant and its attorneys are 10 11 attempting to go back in time through various avenues to obtain as much information as is
12 possible. As that information comes to light, these answers will then be supplemented and
13 modified accordingly. Therefore, these answers should not, and cannot, be construed as final
14 or complete answers to any of the questions posed,

Overview .
In the United Stales, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OS.HA) requires that employees who are exposed to asbestos, tremolite, anthophyllite, aednolite or a combination o f these must participate in annual medical surveillance examinations (29 CFR 1910.1001 and CFR 1926.1101) if they experience any o f the following exposure situations:
exposed at or above the permissabie exposure limits (PEL'S) o f O.t fiber
per cubic centimeter as an 8-hour rime-weighted-average (TWA) or the
excursion limit (EL) o f I fiber per cubic centimeter averaged over 30
minutes, for a combined 3G days of more per year;
.
are involved in Class I, II or 111 asbestos work for a combined 30 days or
more a yeji. (Note -'days involving 1 hour or less in total o f Class II
and/or Class IU work performed using the work practices specified in the
OSHA standard, are not to be counted.)
This applies without regard to the employee's use o f personal protective equipment. While it is unlikely that any BfGoodrich employee will be exposed to asbestos in excess o f the PEL or EL, many employees are involved in Class I, 11 or III tasks including changing asbestos gaskets or transite removal or maintenancejob's involving incidental disturbance o f installed asbestos products.
P u rp o se
This program is intended to:
Insure the effectiveness o f work practices .and use o f personal protective
equipment to minimize employee exposure to asbestos and prevent
asbestos-related health effects,
.
Insure that employees may safely use-respiratory protective equipment as
required by theirjob (see Section 1.2.3 - Medical Clearance for Respirator-
Use),
;
'
Identify employees with other medical problems or health risks so that they may be referred for appropriate evaluation.

Participation Content
Facility health and safety personnel must determine which employees will be included in the asbestos medical program. This determination may require performance o f industrial hygiene sampling to document representative air levels; however, for work around installed buildings materials, the requirements are based on the nature o f the work regardless o f exposure level. All employees whose work involves potential exposure to asbestos must be medically cleared for respirator use. The asbestos and respirator examinations must be conducted prior to placement in a job with potential exposure to asbestos. Employees are not to be issued respirators, St tested or trained for respirator use until they have been medically cleared.
Asbestos medical surveillance and respirator clearance require the following:
*
Review o f respirator use requirements;
*
Review o f pertinent medical and work histojy with special emphasis on
the pulmonary, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems;
*
Pulmonary function test to include FEV,, FEV/FVC, % o f predicted
FEV, and % o f predicted FVC;
-
Physical examination with special emphasis on pulmonary and
gastrointestinal systems;
-
*
Chest x-ray.
.
Chest x-rays must be performed at the time of initial placement and then at five and ten years after placement For employees who have more then ten years since their Erst exposure, chest x-rays must be performed ort the following age-adjusted basis:
Age 1 5- 35 Age 3d - 45 Age over 46
every 5 years every 2 years annually
All chest x-rays must be interpreted by a certified B-reader, or a board certified or eligible radiologist or other physician with known expertise in the pneumoconioses (dust-related diseases o f the lung). The results must be recorded on the ILO B-reader form (Form CSD/NIOSH M 2.8).

Procedure
Evaluation of Health Effects
Each location must identify a local physician to conduct the examinations. Medical surveillance for asbestos exposure under the OSHA standards requires die use o f the mandatory medical questionnaire (Appendix D) aruched at the end o f this guideline.
The physician should be provided with-the following:
A copy o f this guideline;
,
The OSHA Asbestos Standards, including appendices D, E and I o f
29CFR1926.1101;
. Representative exposure levels;
A description ofjob duties and use o f protective equipment;
Results o f past examinations.
The examining physician will evaluate overall employee health and fitness,
concentrating on any problems which may be related to the workplace exposure
to asbestos and the employee's ability to perform his or her job safely. The
' physician will also determine whether the employee is capable o f wearing a
respirator, as necessary (see Section 1.2.3 - Medical Clearance for Respirator
Use).

Acute effects related to asbestos inhalation are minimal and similar lo that o f nuisance dusts. Three chronic medical conditions have been associated with exposure to high levels o f asbestos fibers. These rarely become evident until 10 years from first exposure. They are;
Pleural
Pleural changes are die most common finding in asbestos-exposed workers. These may occur on any pleural surface. These are usually evident on plain x-rays, although oblique films or CT scanning may better document the presence or absence o f true pleural changes. Pleural asbestosis is usually asymptomatic and uncomplicated. Pleural asbestosis only rarely causes pleural effusion, and this finding should prompt an evaluation for possible pleural mesothelioma. In genera], the presence o f pleural findings supports a history o f significant past asbestos exposure.

Evaluation of Health Effects . (cont'd)
* Interstitial
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosiscor pulmonaiy asbestosis, is a much more serious development Chest x-ray findings include irregular opacities which are predominately in the lower lobes. The physical examination may reveal coarse rales in the lung bases. Pulmonary function usually shows restrictive impairment (decreased vital capacity) and impaired diffusion. Obstructive changes may also occur, although this is usually confined to smokers.
*
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor o f the pleural or peritoneal cavity which has been particularly associated with exposure to amphibole asbestos (crocidolite, amosite). This may be confused with pooriy differentiated adenocarcinoma, particularly when arising in the abdominal cavity. Proper diagnosis may require review o f the tissue .specimens by an experienced pathologist.
*
Lung Cancer
An excess incidence o f lung cancer has also been reported in epidemiologic
studies o f asbestos workers. This excess has primarily been associated with the
combination o f asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking. The extent to which
asbestos exposure alone is a significant risk factor for developing lung cancer
remains uncertain. -
*"
-
*
Other Cancer
Several other types o f cancer have been considered as possibly being related to asbestos exposure. These include gastrointestinal cancers and kidney cancer. Findings from limited studies in these areas have been inconsistent.
Interpretation o f Results .
The interpretation o f the significance o f any given finding in an individual with exposure to asbestos requires careful consideration of the following:
*
The significance o f the finding,
,
*
Tfie intensity o f the exposure,
*
Other possible causes o f the finding,
-
Latency between exposure and effect.

Interpretation o f Results (cant'4)
Proper diagnosis requires a thoughtful history, careful examination and appropriate
testing. The determination of whether an individual has developed asbestos-
related health effects requires-a dear understanding-of the pathophysiology o f
asbestos-related disease.
'
All persons who are diagnosed as having possible, asbestos-related disease should
be evaluated by an experienced occupational or pulmonary physician. Part o f this
evaluation should indude a review o f (he work and exposure history to determine
the factors which contributed to disease development. Individuals who properly
follow current recommended work practices should not develop any asbestos-
related findings.
.
Separation/ Retirement
Any employee who was exposed to asbestos at or above the PEL and/or EL is to be provided a complete physical examination 30 days before or after the last day worked. This examination is to be provided regardless o f time since last exposure. If the employee has been examined according to this guideline within the prior 12 months, no medical examination is required.
Management .
Persons who are diagnosed as having developed asbestos-related health effects mustbeadvisedofthefindinganditssignificance. Simple pleural plaques require no specific treatment and should result in no symptoms or disability. In contrast, pulmonary asbestosis may result in significant respiratory impairment. Both mesothelioma and lung cancer can be fatal. Further evaluation and treatment must be managed on a case by basis. Appropriate BFGoodrich occupational health resources should be consulted in all cases o f possible asbestos-related disease.
Experts in the field differ on the issue o f whether individuals with asbestos-related findings due to past exposures should be allowed to continue to work in- potential exposure areas using protective equipment. If proper procedures are followed, additional exposure and health risk should be .minima]. Ultimately, the determination must be made on a case by case basis, considering the health o f the , effected individual, the risk o f exposure and the nature o f the work.
W ritten Opinion
The examining physician must supply the facility with a written opinion on the following for each employee:
'
*
Whether any. medical condition is present which presents an increased risk o f material health impairment due to exposure to asbestos:
Whether there are limitations on employee exposure or use of respirators
and other protective equipment;
