HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: NO
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: YES IARC: YES OSHA: YES
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: ACUTE: INHAL: ANY DUST(INCLUDING ASBESTOS)
WHICH IS INHALED IN SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS, MAY IRRIT RESP TRACT. EXTREME EXPOS
CAN OVERWHELM NORMAL RESP DEFENSE MECHANISMS & RESULT IN TEMP DFCLTY IN
BRTHG. SKIN: ASBESTOS SPLINTERS MAY PENETRATE SK IN & CAUSE ASBESTOS
"CORNS". EYE: MAY CAUSE IRRIT & ABRASIONS.(EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: ASBESTOS: IARC MONOGRAPHS, SUPP, VOL 7, PG 106,
1987: GROUP 1. NTP 7TH ANNUAL REPORT ON CARCINS, 1994: KNOWN(SUPDAT)
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ: CHRONIC: INHAL: OVEREXP TO
ASBESTOS HAS CAUSED DMG TO LUNGS(ASBESTOSIS), LUNG CANCER & MESOTHELIOMA OF
PLEURA & PERITONEUM. SYMPS WHICH ARE USUALLY NOT MANIFESTED UNTIL 15-20
YEARS AFTER EXPOS, INCL LABORED BRTHG, CHEST PAINS, WEA KNESS & CHEST
TIGHTNESS. PLEURAL THICKENING, PLAQUES & EFFUSION ARE (SUPDAT)
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF BRTHG IS DFCLT, O*2 MAY BE ADMIN. IF BRTHG HAS
STOPPED, ADMIN ARTF RESP. CALL MD. SKIN: REMOVE ASBESTOS SLIVERS PROMPTLY. IF
"ASBESTOS CORN" DEVELS, SURG REMOVAL MAY BE REQD. EYE: IRRIGATE
GENTLY W/WATER FOR A T LEAST 15 MINS. REFER TO OPHTHALMOLOGIST TO RULE OUT POSS
OF DMG TO CORNEA/EYEBALL BY FIBERS. INGEST: CALL MD IMMMEDIATELY(FP N). NOTE TO
MD: A MEDICAL(ING 6)

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: N/A
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: N/A Upper Limits: N/A
Extinguishing Media: USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING MATERIAL IN FIRE
SITUATION.
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT(FP N). AVOID MEDIA & PROCS THAT CAUSE AIRBORNE DUST.
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: AVOID BRTHG DUST. NOTIFY SAFETY PERS OF SPILL. PERMIT
ONLY TRAINED CLEAN-UP PERS IN SPILL AREA. USE WET METHS/APPRVD VACUUM CLEANING
SYS TO PICK UP SPILLED MATLS. USE WATER/OTHER DUST SUPRESSANTS WHERE SWEEPING
IS UNAVOIDABLE. DO NOT STIR U P(ING 7)
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: BAGS, FRIABLE ASBESTOS, WASTE & SCRAP MATL SHOULD
BE DISP OF IN A MANNER WHICH WILL AVOID AIRBORNE CONCS OF ASBESTOS, SUCH AS USE
OF DUST-TIGHT TRASH BAGS/CNTNRS. SUCH CNTNRS SHOULD BE LABELED I/A/W
40CFR61.20. ASBESTOS IS ALSO CLASSIFIED A S(ING 10)
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
STORE ASBESTOS IN CLSD CNTNRS(DUST-TIGHT) IN CLEAN, DRY, SECURE AREA. PROTECT
CNTNRS FROM DMG. DO NOT OPEN CNTNRS IN MANNER THAT CAN RELEASE (ING 19)
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: WHERE ASBESTOS EXPOS IN EXCESS OF PEL IS ANTIC, WEAR A
NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP, AS FOLLOWS: UP TO 10 TIMES THE PEL, HALF-MASK AIR
PURIFYING RESP W/HIGH-EFFICIENCY FILTERS; UP TO 50 TIMES PEL - FULL FACEPIECE
AIR-PURIFYING RESP W/HIGH(ING 14)
Ventilation: PROVIDE ADEQ EXHST VENT & CAPTURE FILTRATION TO REMOVE ASBESTOS
PARTICULATE FROM WORKPLACE & MINIMIZE ITS (ING 16)
Protective Gloves: IMPERVIOUS GLOVES(FP N).
Eye Protection: ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS(FP N).
Other Equipment: ANSI APPRVD EMER EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER(FP N). FOR CONCS
IN EXCESS OF OSHA PEL, SPEC CLTHG, SUCH AS COVERALLS,(ING 18)
Work Hygenic Practices: ANSI APPRVD EMER EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER(FP N).
FOR CONCS IN EXCESS OF OSHA PEL, SPEC CLTHG, SUCH AS COVERALLS,(ING 18)
Supplemental Safety & Health: EXPLAN OF CARCIN:TO BE CARCINOGENIC. OSHA:
CFR VOL 29, PG 1910.1001, 1987: OSHA CANCER HAZARD. HUMAN: LUNG. EFTS OF
OVEREXP: NONDISABLING CNDTNS, SEEN SEPARATELY/TOGETHER, THAT HAVE BEEN ASSOC
W/PRLNGD ASBESTOS EXPOS. RISK OF LUNG CANCER IS GREATLY INCREASED FOR THOSE WHO
SMOKE CIGARETTES REG IN ADDTN(ING 3)
