Monsanto SAFE HANDLING OF CARCINOGENS We will provide safe and healthful working conditions for our employees. We will comply with all government regulations concerned with exposure to carcinogens. Where there is any data which suggest that a chemical to which our employees are exposed is a carcinogen, and such chemical is not subject to government regulations, we will evaluate that data; and based on that evaluation, take the following . action: Where such data establishes the chemical as a human carcinogen, we will take appropriate action to reduce exposure to the lowest reasonable level, unless exposure is already at such a level. Where such data establish the chemical as an experimental or suspect carcinogen, we will (individually or jointly with others) initiate study to confirm or disprove such designation. During such study, exposure will be reduced to and/or minimized at the lowest reasonable level. If it is concluded that a material cannot be produced or used without jeopardizing the health of employees, its manufacture or use will be discontinued.
