No employee shall be exposed at any time to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fibers per milliliter, longer than 5 microns."

(1) Allowed only during the time required for installation of engineering controls, when engineering controls are not technically feasible or adequate, ar.d in emergencies. An employee may not be assigned to tasks requiring respirator if his most recent medical examination indicates he will be unable to function normally. (2) Fibers per milliliter greater than 5 microns in length, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450X magnification (4 millimeter objective) phase contrast illumination. (3) 8-Hour time weighted average. (4) Examples of masks approved by U.S. Bureau of Mines under the appropriate schedule: Reference -- Federal Register, Volume 37, Pages 11318-11322, June 7, 1972. If the time weighted average and ceiling concentration limits are not exceeded, no special precautions are required except: a) Bag damage and dusting should be minimized and dust inhalation avoided. b) Every place of employment where asbestos fibers are released must be monitored by December 7. 1972 to determine exposure levels. c) A comprehensive medical examination is required for any employee exposed to airborne fibers within 30 days of first such employment, annually thereafter and cn termination of employment. When exposure limits are exceeded, reference should be made to the regulation for details on caution signs, monitoring, change rooms, protective clothing laundering and record keeping. UCC 025107
