*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. IF
    ANY OPERATIONS ARE PERFORMED ON THE PRODUCT THAT MAY RELEASE
    ASBESTOS FIBERS, USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR ASBESTOS.
Ventilation:NONE REQUIRED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. LOCAL EXHAUST
    IS RECOMMENDED IN SITUATIONS WHERE DUST IS GENERATED.

Work Hygienic Practices:WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING,
    DRINKING, OR SMOKING. AVOID AIRBORNE DUST GENERATION.
Supplemental Safety and Health
CHANGE CLOTHING AS REQUIRED TO AVOID CARRYING DUST PARTICLES INTO OTHER
    AREAS. SMOKING ALONG WITH ASBESTOS FIBER INHALATION GREATLY
    INCREASES CANCER RISK.

    GREATLY INCREASES LUNG CANCER RISK.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS AND IS
    LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: IRRITATION FROM AIRBORNE DUST. SKIN:
    MECHANICAL IRRITATION FROM DUST. INHALATION: INHALATION OF AIRBORNE
    DUST CONTAINING ASBESTOS FIBERS ON REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE OR
    LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS, LUN G CANCER, MESOTHELIOMA. INGESTION:
    FREEASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE A FACTOR IN CANCER OF THE GI TRACT AND
    LARNYX.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSON WITH PRE-EXISTING DISEASE
    INVOLVING THE EYES, SKIN, OR RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY BE AT INCREASED
    RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. GET MEDICAL
    ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. IF IRRITATION
    PERSISTS GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET

    ATTENTION. OTHER: CHANGE CLOTHING AS REQUIRED TO AVOID CARRYING
    DUST PARTICLES INTO OTHER AREAS.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE. WATER,
    FOAM, CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IF FIRE INVOLVES LARGE AMOUNTS OF PRODUCT,
    WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DUE TO
    SMOKE AND POSSIBLE RELEASE OF ASBESTOS FIBERS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRODUCES SMOKE, SOME FUMES AND POSSIBLY
    SOME FREE ASBESTOS FIBERS WHEN BURNED.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION. VACUUM OR WET
    CLEAN IF DUST IS INVOLVED. ANY VACUUM SYSTEM SHOULD BE EQUIPPED
    WITH AN OUTLET "HEPA" FILTER TO PREVENT REINTRODUCING ASBESTOS
    FIBERS TO THE ATMOSPHERE. D O NOT DRY SWEEP OR USE COMPRESSED AIR.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN CLEAN DRY PLACE AWAY FROM
    INCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL. HANDLE IN A MANNER TO MINIMIZE FORMATION OR
