*  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 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.
Work Hygienic Practices:DON'T INHALE DUST CREATED BY ABRADING ACTIONS.
    USE FULL PROTECTION AGAINST AIRBORNE FIBERS.AVOID AIRBORNE DUST
    CREATION.

*  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  AND MESOTHELIOMA. SMOKING COMBINED
    WITH 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:EYES: POTENTIAL IRRITATION FROM AIRBORNE DUST.
    SKIN: UNKNOWN. INHALATION: INHALATION OF AIRBORNE DUST CONTAINING
    ASBESTOS FIBERS ON REPEATED EXPOSURE MAY CAUSE OR CAN LEAD TO
    ASBESTOSIS / MESOTHELIOMA . INGESTION: UNKNOWN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DEFICIENCIES DUE TO
    REPEATED INHALATION OF AIRBORNE FIBERS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF IRRITATION
    PERSISTS GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH AREA WITH SOAP AND
    WATER. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
    INGESTION: GET MEDICAL  ATTENTION. OTHER: CHANGE CLOTHING 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
    WITH AN OUTLET "HEPA" FILTER TO PREVENT REINTRODUCING ASBESTOS
    FIBERS TO THE ATMOSPHERE.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLE IN A MANNER TO MINIMIZE
    FORMATION OR RETENTION OF AIRBORNE DUST. USE PROPER PERSONAL
    PROTECTION WHEN WORKING WITH THIS MATERIAL.
Other Precautions:AS MANUFACTURED, LOCKED-IN ASBESTOS DOES NOT PRESENT
    A HAZARD. ONLY WHEN THE ITEM IS SUBJECTED TO ABRASIVE ACTIONS AND
    DUST IS GENERATED, THEN ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY BE RELEASED AND BECOME
    AIRBORNE.
