*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURES EXCEED ESTABLISHED LIMITS, A NIOSH/
    MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR ASBESTOS SHOULD BE USED. CONSULT YOUR
    SAFETY OFFICE/IH PERSONNEL FOR GUIDANCE FOR THE TASK AT HAND.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED IN SITUATIONS WHERE DUST IS
    GENERATED BY ABRASIVE ACTIONS, ABRASION OR OTHER MEANS.
Other Protective Equipment:AS REQUIRED FOR TASK AT HAND, AND THE
    GUIDANCE SET FORTH BY YOUR SAFETY OFFICE OR IH PERSONNEL
Work Hygienic Practices:DONOT INHALE DUST CREATED BY ABRADING ACTIONS.
    USE FULL PROTECTION AGAINST AIRBORNE FIBERS. AVOID AIRBORNE DUST
    CREATION
Supplemental Safety and Health
KEY2:KT  GENERIC "MSDS" CREATED FOR "NSN" IDENTIFIED AS CONTAINING
    ASBESTOS. WHEN A MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIC "MSDS" IS PROVIDED FOR
    MATERIAL PROCURED UNDER THIS NSN, THIS GENERIC "MSDS" WILL BE
    REMOVED .
*  Product Identification  *
Preparer's Name:DOD HMIS/DGSC-SSH
*  Composition/Information on Ingredients  *
Ingred Name:ASBESTOS, CHRYSOTILE
OSHA PEL:0.2 FIBERS/CC
Ingred Name:ASBESTOS & NATURAL/SYNTHETIC RUBBER COMPOSITION
Ingred Name:GENERIC "MSDS". SPECIFIC ASBESTOS TYPE NOT KNOWN. ONE CITED
    IS ASSUMED.
*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE: NO ACUTE EFFECTS ARE KNOWN;
    CHRONIC: DUST FROM ABRASIVE ACTIONS(EG. CUTTING, MACHINING, FILING,
    ETC.) MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS. CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE
    FIBERS MAY LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS  & MESOTHELIOMA. SMOKING COMBINED
    W/FIBER INHALATION GREATLY INCREASES LUNG CANCER RISK!
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:OVEREXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS
    OF ASBESTOS MAY LEAD TO ASBESTOSIS AND MESOTHELIOMA.
Effects of Overexposure:INHAL: INHALATION OF AIRBORNE DUST CONTAINING
    ASBESTOS FIBERS ON REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE OR CAN LEAD TO
    ASBESTOSIS / MESOTHELIOMA; SKIN: N/K; EYE: POTENTIAL IRRITATION
    FROM AIRBORNE DUST; INGEST:  N/K.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DEFICIENCIES DUE TO
    REPEATED INHALATION OF AIRBORNE FIBERS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. OBTAIN MEDICAL ADVICE; SKIN: WASH
    EXPOSED AREA WITH SOAP & WATER; EYE: FLOOD W/ WATER. IF IRRITATION
    OCCURS, GET MEDICAL ATTN; INGEST: CONSULT A PHYSICIAN; OTHER:
    CHANGE CL OTHING AS REQUIRED TO AVOID CARRYING DUST PARTICLES INTO
    OTHER AREAS
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:MATERIAL IS NOT FLAMMABLE ; USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE
    FOR SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:COMBUSTION PRODUCTS OF THIS MATERIAL MAY BE
    TOXIC. USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WHEN FIGHTING FIRES
    INVOLVING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONE KNOWN
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION. VACUUM OR WET
    CLEAN IF DUST IS INVOLVED. ANY VACUUM SYSTEM SHOULD BE EQUIPPED W/
    AN OUTLET "HEPA" FILTER TO PREVENT REINTRODUCING ASBESTOS FIBERS TO
    THE ATMOSPHERE.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLE IN A MATTER TO MINIMIZE
    FORMATION OR RETENTION OF AIRBORNE DUST. USE PROPER PERSONAL
    PROTECTION FOR TASK AT HAND. CHECK W/YOUR SAFETY OFFICE!!!
Other Precautions:AS MANUFACTURED, LOCKED-IN ASBESTOS DOES NOT PRESENT
    A HAZARD. ONLY WHEN THE ITEM IS SUBJECTED TO ABRASIVE ACTIONS &
    DUST IS GENERATED, THEN ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE RELEASED & BECOME
    AIRBORNE.
