*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IF EXPOSURES EXCEED ESTABLISHED LIMITS, A NIOSH
    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, CUTTING 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:DO NOT INHALE DUST CREATED BY ABRAZING ACTIONS.
    USE FULL PROTECTION AGAINST AIRBORNE FIBERS.AVOID CREATING AIRBORNE
    DUST
Supplemental Safety and Health
GASKETS ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM SPIRAL EDGEGROUND STAINLESS STEEL STRIPS
    WITH ALTERNATE PLIAS IF FILLER MATERIAL. THE FILLER IS MADE FROM
    CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS FIBER BONDED WITH SYNTHETIC RUBBER COMPOUNDS 
    WHICH LOCK IN THE FIBERS. DURING HANDLING VERY LITTLE ASBESTOS DUST
    IS RELEASED.

*  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 ASBESTOSI S & MESOTHELIOMA. SMOKING
    COMBINED W/FIBER INHALATION GREATLY INCREASES LUNG CANCER RISK!
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS CHRYSOTILE ASBESTOS WHICH IS
    LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION/SKIN: COUGHING; EYE: POTENTIAL
    IRRITATION FROM AIRBORNE DUST; INGEST: N/K.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISEASES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION: 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: CHAN GE CLOTHING AS REQUIRED TO AVOID CARRYING DUST
    PARTICLES INTO OTHER AREAS.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media: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:SOME OIL MAY WEEP FROM FINISHED PRODUCT
    IN FIRE AND MAY CATCH FIRE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTION. VACUUM OR WET
    CLEAN IF DUST IS INVOLVED. 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 &
 IS GENERATED, THEN ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE RELEASED & BECOME
    AIRBORNE.
