*  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
GENERIC "MSDS" CREATED FOR "NSN" IDENTIFIED BY "DISC" 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

*  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.) MAYCONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS.  CHRONIC OVEREXPOSURE
    TO AIRBORNE FIBERS MAY LEAD TO    ASBESTOSIS & MESOTHELIOMA. 
    SMOKINGCOMBINED 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 CLOTHING AS REQUIRED TO AVOIDCARRYING
    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 CHEMCIAL 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.
