Out-of-print, hardcover book with 341 pages, from the National Safety Council, Chicago, Illinois.

The book is in VERY GOOD condition!!  The book has minor wear from use and has no dust jacket.   There are no locations of writing or highlighting of the text that I could find from a cursory review.  It's still a very good book with plenty of life left in it!! 

Asbestos References:

Supervisors Safety Manual - "The key figure in an occupational safety program in the supervisor. Not only is he the direct link between top management and the work force, but on his shoulders rests the responsibility for quality job training, development of good safety attitudes, and detection of unsafe conditions and practices. 

From Chapter 6 "Employee Health & Industrial Hygiene":

Air Contaminants - "Approximately two-thirds of all occupational disease exposures fall into three classifications:
1. Exposures to organic, nonmetallic dusts (mostly from grinding operations). This exposure includes that of silica and asbestos dusts.
2. Exposures to lead and its compounds.
3. Exposures to carbon monoxide."

The supervisor can, however, recognize a danger spot and ask for expert help.  If a supervisor is not alert, a lot of harm can be done. Processes in which inorganic materials are crushed, ground or transported are potential sources of dust. They should be either controlled by use of wet methods or should be enclosed and ventilated by local exhaust.

Periodic examinations For exposures to materials that accumulate more slowly in the body, like silica or insoluble lead compounds."

Respiratory Protective Equipment  states the following:

"Mechanical filter respirators must protect against exposure to nuisance dusts and pneumoconiosis-producing dusts, mists, and fumes. Examples of nuisance dusts are aluminum, cellulose, cement, coal, flour, gypsum, iron ore, limestone, and sawdust.

Another type of filter respirator is approved for such toxic dusts, such as lead, asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, manganese, selenium and their compounds."

Materials for Protective Clothing - states the following:

"Aluminum-faced fabric has a coating that reflects radiant heat. Aluminized asbestos is used for heavy-duty suits, and aluminized fabric for fire-approach suits."

"Asbestos is used as protection against intense conducted heat and against flames.  When used with a radiation barrier of reflective material, asbestos offers excellent protection in fire-fighting and rescue work."

From Chapter 12 Fire Prevention and Control:

 Welding and cutting  states the following:

"If welding must be done over wood floors, they should be swept clean, wet down, and then covered with asbestos blankets, metal, or non-combustible covering."

"Sheet metal, flame-resistant canvas, or asbestos curtains should be used around welding operations to keep sparks from reaching combustible materials."
