Many of the work activities at the dealership, particularly vehicle maintenance and repair, require the use of chemicals that have hazardous or potentially hazardous properties. It is important that workers are aware of the identity of these chemicals, their hazardous properties, and proper handling precautions as well as safety equipment and procedures to be followed in an emergency. In brief, an informed employee is more likely to be a careful employee. This Hazard Communication Program has been written to provide employees with the above information. It will be available in the Service Manager's office for review by all employees, their designated representatives, and agents of regulatory agencies. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT The program manager shall be the dealership's Environmental Compliance Coordinator (ECC). If another party is designated, that designation shall be by letter, a copy of which shall precede the table of contents to this program. Questions regarding this plan should be referred to the program manager. Additions, deletions, or corrections to this program shall be made in writing and shall be approved by the program manager prior to implementation. C~ EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY The success of this Hazard Communication Program depends largely upon the cooperation and commitment of every employee. Each employee should be alert to the potential hazards of chemicals in the workplace and shall follow the appropriate work practices that have been established to protect their health and safety. Whenever there is a question regarding the handling, use, disposal, or emergency procedures involved with a specific chemical, the label, and/or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be consulted. If additional information is desired, the immediate supervisor or the program manager should be contacted. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 2 0503vALL PROGRAM OVERVIEW This Hazard Communication Program has been developed to provide our employees with information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Program activities include: • Preparing and updating a written inventory of hazardous chemicals used at the dealership. • Properly labeling containers of hazardous chemicals. • Obtaining a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each hazardous chemical. • Providing appropriate information and training to employees and outside contractors exposed to these chemicals. INVENTORY A written listing of all known hazardous chemicals present at the dealership shall be prepared. The inventory shall include each identified hazardous chemical and the primary work area where it is used or stored. This listing will be reviewed and updated by the program manager as new hazardous chemicals are introduced to the dealership. CONTAINER LABELING No container of a hazardous chemical will be released for use until the following label information is legibly attached and verified: • Container contents, except incases involving trade secrets, should be the same product identity included on the MSDS (see below). • Appropriate hazard warnings. • The name and address of the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer, importer, or distributor to ensure that each supplier provided primary chemical container leaving his workplace is properly labeled, tagged, or otherwise marked. Therefore, these containers should be received at the dealership with proper labels in place. Should any required labels become detached or otherwise rendered illegible, they are to be replaced by the dealership prior to issuance of the container into the workplace. Alternately, any container that is received without proper labeling may be returned to the supplier. When a chemical is transferred from the primary container into a secondary container, this secondary container must also be labeled. However, in this situation the label need only contain the identity of the hazardous chemical therein and the appropriate hazard warning. Furthermore, if the hazardous chemical transferred to a secondary container is intended only for the immediate use of the employee who transferred it, the container need not be labeled as long as it is emptied and cleaned prior to the end of that employee's work shift. Should a label on any primary or secondary container become detached or illegible after issue of the container and/or during its use, the label is to be replaced. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 3 0503vALL MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) A MSDS is a mulripart form prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a hazardous chemmcal which specifies, among other things, physical and chemical properties of the hazardous chemical, the hazards posed by the chemical, and preventative measures and remedial steps that should be taken in the event of a chemical spill or exposure. While the manufacturer/importer is obligated to provide the business purchasing the hazardous chemical with an MSDS, it is the responsibility of dealership management to ensure that a MSDS is readily available for every hazardous chemical maintained on site that employees are exposed or potentially exposed. A copy of each MSDS held by the dealership shall be maintained in the Service Manager's office and shall be "readily accessible" to any employee during his work shift. If a remote, electronic means of obtaining MSDSs is utilized, the following requirements shall be met: • Electronic equipment through which MSDSs are made available is reliable and accessible, and potentially exposed employees are trained on its use. • Paper copies of MSDSs are provided to employees or medical personnel requesting them. • An adequate backup MSDS retrieval system is available in the event of an emergency. • Information on the MSDS retrieval system(s) are incorporated into this program. Mandatory items for inclusion on an MSDS are noted in Exhibit (1). If an MSDS is found to be missing or incomplete, anew/updated MSDS shall be requested from the manufacturer. The procedure for making this request is outlined in Exhibit (2). In addition, the supervisor or program manager shall ensure that incoming MSDSs are reviewed for any new and significant health or safety information that, if present, shall be provided to exposed or potentially exposed employees within 30 days of MSDS receipt. In the event an MSDS is unavailable for any newly introduced hazardous chemical at the dealership, the supervisor, or program manager shall be immediately notified of this deficiency. If there is an emergency where an employee needs information about a chemical and the MSDS is missing or confusing, the supervisor or Program manager is to take one or more of the following steps in order to obtain the MSDS or to clarify questions: • Call the manufacturer of the chemical. Get the company's emergency number from a MSDS for one of its products. • Call a no cost chemical emergency information service such as: Chemtrec (800) 424-9300 Infotrac (800) 535-5053 If use of a chemical product is discontinued, the applicable MSDS shall be retained for a minimum of 30 years. If the applicable MSDS is destroyed, a record of the identity of the product or agent, including the chemical name or trade name (if known), where it was used, and when it was used, shall be retained for a minimum of 30 years. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 4 0503vALL INFORMATION AND TRAINING 1. Normal Operations: Employees with potential exposure to hazardous chemicals are to attend a health and safety training session where they will receive instruction on the use of these chemicals. New employees are to receive this training prior to their initial work assignment. Components of this training shall include: • A review of the requirements contained in the Hazard Communication Program. This overview is to include a discussion of employee rights under this regulation. • Information on the location and availability of this written Hazard Communication Program. • Information on employee work areas where hazardous chemicals are typically present. • Instruction on how to read labels and review MSDSs in order to obtain appropriate hazard information. • An overview of the types of hazardous chemicals typically found in the workplace. • Discussion of the common physical and health hazards of chemicals in the workplace and measures employees can take to protect themselves from these hazards, including work practices, personal protective equipment, and engineering controls. • A review of methods used to determine the release of hazardous chemicals in the workplace. • An overview of emergency procedures to be followed in the event of spill, fire, or other incident. To better ensure that each employee understands these components, the dealership has prepared a written Hazard Communication Training Program. This program is included as Appendix (A) to this Hazard Communication Program. 2. Hazardous Nonroutine Tasks: Periodically, employees may be required to perform hazardous, nonroutine tasks. Prior to starting work on such projects, any employee involved is to be given information by their supervisor about additional chemical hazards that he may be exposed to during such an assignment. This information will include: • Specific hazards that may be encountered. • Protective/safety measures that must be utilized. • Measures the company has taken to lessen the hazards including protective .equipment, the presence of another employee, and emergency procedures. 3. Hazardous Chemicals in Unlabeled Pipes: To prevent the possible exposure of employees to hazardous chemicals in unlabeled pipes, it is dealership policy that no employee is authorized to work or otherwise tamper with any pipe in the dealership. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 5 0503vALL 4. Informing Contractors: This dealership wants to ensure that outside contractors work safely in the dealership. Therefore, any contractor shall be provided with the following information prior to beginning work in an area of the dealership where he or his employees could be exposed to hazardous chemicals. • Hazardous chemicals that the contractor and his subcontractors and employees may be exposed to while on the job site. • Precautions the contractor and his subcontractors and employees may take to lessen exposure to these chemicals, including the use of appropriate work practices and protective measures. The contractor shall also be required to provide information to the dealership regarding any hazardous chemicals he intends to use during his work. This information shall be provided to the program manager and should include a review of appropriate precautions dealership employees should take to lessen their exposure to these chemicals. 5. Certification of Training: Each employee that receives Hazard Communication Training at the dealership will complete a training certification that includes wording similar or identical to that displayed on Exhibit (3).

During this training, I was made generally aware of hazards associated with chemicals present at the dealership, steps I can take to reduce these hazards, and typical responses in the event of an emergency. I was also made aware of chemical specific information available to me in the form of product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). I understand that I may review the dealership's Hazard Communication Program and MSDSs any time during my work shift. I also acknowledge that I have received Emergency Response training. During this training, I was made aware of guidelines for responding to a fire or explosion (including use of portable hand-held fire extinguishers), arelease of hazardous materials, and certain natural disasters. I was also informed of the dealership's evacuation assembly point. I understand that the dealership alone is responsible for environmental and safety issues at the facility, and that I should contact my supervisor with any questions or concerns I have about these matters. Signature Iob Position Printed Name Date cc: Employee File Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 11 0503vALL Exhibit (4) Program Exemptions The following substances are exempt from regulation under the Hazard Communication Standard: 1. Hazardous Waste: This exemption is limited to waste regulated by the Federal EPA. 2. Tobacco Products. 3. Wood or Wood Products (i.e. wood furniture): The glue, varnish, paint, etc., used in its manufacture is a hazardous chemical during the manufacturing process and would be regulated at that time. However, when the finished product is delivered to the dealer, those chemicals are bound up and are no longer considered hazardous. 4. Articles -Manufactured Items (i.e. a vehicle tire): Again, numerous hazardous chemicals are used in its manufacture but when delivered, these components are not considered hazardous to the handler. Note: Asbestos brake shoes and clutch plates could be considered exempt under this provision. However, brake maintenance activities pose a risk to exposed employees. Therefore, this dealership has developed a special asbestos training and control program. The written program is included as Appendix B to the dealership Hazard Communication Program. 5. Food, drugs, or cosmetics intended for use or consumption by the employee. 6. Retail Food Establishments: This exemption is not effective if the establishment is located in the dealership work area where other hazardous chemicals are handled or stored. 7. Consumer Products Sold at Retail: This exemption is not effective if the duration and frequency of employee exposure is greater than that of the ordinary consumer. For example, if dealership shop employees use a pressurized spray can of solvent for cleaning oil and grease from auto parts, the frequency of employee use far exceeds that of the ordinary consumer and the product is not exempt, even if it is an over-the-counter product. 8. Pesticide use already regulated by another agency. Program specific labeling is not required for the following substances as they are already governed by appropriate federal agency requirements: • Consumer Products • Food, Drug, and Additive Products (i.e., flavors, fragrances, etc.) • Alcoholic Beverages • Pesticides • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page 12 0503vALL Appendix (A) Hazard Communication Training Program ~ for Motor City Lexus OVERVIEW Regulators have published lists of chemicals that have been classified as "hazardous". They are included on the list because they appear on one or more listings of chemicals that can cause physical or health damage. The Hazard Communication ("Right To Know") Regulation is intended to ensure that both employers and employees are aware of the dangers associated with the hazardous chemicals in the workplace and are trained to safely handle them. Motor City Lexus has a written Hazard Communication Program that defines dealership policy on this matter and outlines the information and support that will be provided to help employees manage their exposure to hazardous chemicals. The objective of this training program is to implement key provisions of this policy. In particular, it provides information needed to carry out employee training on the following: 1. Requirements of the Hazard Communication Regulation. 2. The location and availability of the dealership's written Hazard Communication Program. 3. Identified hazardous chemicals in the workplace and their primary use/storage location. 4. -How to read and understand labels and MSDSs in order to obtain hazard information. 5. A summary of physical and health hazards of chemicals commonly used at the dealership. 6. Work practices, engineering controls, and other protective measures that can be used to reduce exposure to those chemicals. 7. How to determine the presence or release of a hazardous chemical. 8. Emergency and first aid procedures to be followed in the event of spill, fire, or other incident. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-1 0503vALL Appendix (A) Hazard Communication Training Program ~ for Motor City Lexus TRAINING OUTLINE 1. REQUIREMENTS OF THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM: The requirement to provide an overview of the program is satisfied by reviewing the "Overview" section of this training program with employees. The dealership's written Hazard Communication Program provides policy guidance that is consistent with the requirements of the program. The specifics of the program are contained in Title 29, Section 1910.1200 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 2. LOCATION AND AVAILABILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP'S WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM: Maintenance and safekeeping of the program is the responsibility of the program manager. It is kept in the Service Manager's office. The program is available for review anytime during an employee's work shift. Any employee with potential exposure to a hazardous chemical has a right to peruse this program. 3. LISTING OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS IN THE WORKPLACE: A list of identified hazardous chemicals present at the dealership is maintained under the "Chemical Inventory" tab in the dealership's MSDS binder. Specific information on each chemical can be obtained by reviewing the applicable Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 4. READING AND UNDERSTANDING LABELS AND MSDSS: a. Labels: Every original and secondary container used for hazardous chemicals must be labeled. This label should act as a visual reminder of the information presented during the employee training session, as well as the information found in more detail on the MSDS. A hazardous chemical label must include: • The Identity of the Hazardous Chemical: This identity will normally include a brand name, a formula number, and other such identifiers. It should be the same identification that is used on the product MSDS. Appropriate Hazard Warning: This is normally a brief written warning to inform handlers of the specific health and physical hazards posed by the chemical. The label should provide clear information that provides an immediate visual warning of these hazards. Wording on the label should be specific. Phrases such as "caution", "danger", or "harmful if inhaled" generally do not meet the intent of the standard by themselves. Instead, the warning must convey the hazard of the chemical. For example, if the chemical can cause lung damage when inhaled, then that is the appropriate warning. Lung damage is the hazard, not inhalation. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-2 0503vALL Appendix (A) Hazard Communication Training Program ~ for Motor City Lexus • Name and Address of the Manufacturer: The principal reason that this information must be included is to allow medical personnel a means to reach a manufacturer and obtain needed information on the chemical, its effects, and medical countermeasures. Notes: I. A primary container is one in which the hazardous chemical is shipped to the dealership by the manufacturer, importer or supplier. A secondary container is one into which the chemical is transferred after it is received at the dealership. 2. Only the primary container label must include the manufacturer's name and address. Secondary containers need only have the product name and the hazard warning. 3. A secondary container does not need to be labeled if it is used only for a single work shift and only by the employee who transferred the chemical. An example would be an employee who fills a small container with cleaning solvent, uses it to clean parts, then disposes of the spent solvent at the end of his work day. Examples of typical labels are displayed in Exhibit (A.1). Required labels should already be affixed to original containers when they are received at the dealership. If this is not the case, or if the label is obscured or otherwise illegible, the individual noting this discrepancy should promptly bring it to the attention of his supervisor. In turn, the supervisor should notify the.program manager, who is responsible for correcting the deficiency. A similar procedure applies if a label is missing or becomes illegible on a secondary container. Note: Improperly labeled containers are not to be issued into the workplace. Any employee who observes an improperly labeled container is to bring it to the immediate attention of his supervisor. In some instances, the dealership may decide to use alternative labeling methods. This can include posting signs or placards in lieu of a label on each container. This procedure is allowed by State or Federal regulations and may be especially appropriate for areas where container labels are frequently washed off or become illegible. Alternative labels must be approved by the program manager prior to being used. Piping systems are exempt from any labeling requirement. Employees should read these labels and use the hazardous chemical within the guidelines prescribed. Any employee who has a question concerning a label should bring it to the attention of his supervisor. b. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS): The MSDS is the primary means by which a manufacturer or importer informs customers about product hazards. The manufacturer or importer is responsible for assessing these hazards, preparing the MSDS, and ensuring a copy of the MSDS is distributed to customers. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-3 0503vALL Appendix (A) Hazard Communication Training Program ~ for Motor City Lexus A fundamental element of the Hazard Communication Regulation is the requirement for manufacturers to prepare, and manufacturers and sellers to provide, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to purchasers of any hazardous chemical. Employers, such as this dealership, who use these chemicals must in turn make these MSDSs available to their employees and provide training on how to read and understand them. Information that must be included on the MSDS includes: • The chemical name, any common names, and the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number of the hazardous chemical. • The hazards or other risks in the use of the hazardous chemical, including: - The potential for fire, explosion, and reactivity - The acute ands chronic health effects or risks from exposure - The potential routes of exposure and indicators of overexposure • The proper precautions, handling practices, necessary personal protective equipment, and other safety precautions to be used when exposed to the hazardous chemical. • The emergency procedures for spills, fire and first aid. • A description (in lay terms) of the specific potential health risks posed by the hazardous chemical intended to alert any person reading the' information. • The month and year that the information was compiled and the name and address of the manufacturer responsible. Information on how to read and understand a Material Safety Data Sheet is provided in Exhibit (A.2) in this training plan. 5. CHEMICAL SPECIFIC TRAINING: Most chemicals used at this dealership generally fall into one of the following three hazard categories: a. Flammables and Combustibles b. Corrosives c. Compressed Gases Information listed on MSDSs for chemicals that fall into each category has been used to develop category specific training information. This information is summarized in Exhibits A.3 through A.5 of this training program. Information on additional hazards that may be presented by hazardous chemicals present at the dealership is summarized in Exhibit A.6. C Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-4 0503vALL Appendix (A) Hazard Communication Training Program ~ for Motor City Lexus EMPLOYEE RIGHTS Each employee has certain rights under the Hazard Communication Program. They are: 1. To personally receive information on the hazardous chemicals that the employee is or may be exposed. This shall include the right to review the dealership's written Hazard Communication Program and any MSDSs during his working shift. 2. To receive information regarding the hazardous chemicals that the employee is or may be exposed for the physician or collective bargaining agent of the employee. 3. Not to be subject to discharge or other discrimination due to the employee's exercise of the rights afforded pursuant to the regulation. • • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-5 0503vALL Exhibit (A.1) ical Hazard Communication Labels The manufacturer or distributor of a hazardous chemical is obligated to ensure that each product container shipped includes a hazard warning label. Label requirements are general in nature, but require that label information include the identity of the chemical, the appropriate hazard warning, and the name and address of the manufacturer or importer. From these requirements, the law exempts any "consumer product" that must be labeled in accordance with regulations issued by the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). Many of the hazardous chemicals commonly used in vehicle maintenance are indeed regulated by CPSC. Examples include aerosol cans of spray solvent and .spray paint. These containers should include a hazard warning that is similar in nature to that required by the Hazard Communication Program. For those chemicals that are regulated by the Hazard Communication Standard, there are a number of labeling systems that are used by manufacturers and suppliers to comply with program requirements. Examples of several are displayed below: 1. PRINTED LABELS: These labels are the type most commonly encountered at the dealership and include a minimum amount of symbology. They will normally briefly explain health hazards (acute and chronic), including target organ effects, physical hazard (flammable, corrosive, etc.) and reactivity hazard (if any) of the chemical. Labels normally also include the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, safe handling/storage procedures, and recommended first aid steps. When making up a secondary label, it is relatively easy to obtain the necessary information from this type of label.

HMIS LABELING SYSTEM: The National Paint and Coating Association has developed a labeling system that is called the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS). The system communicates information on: • Chemical identity, including common name, CAS number, and/or other descriptive terms. • Degree of acute health, flammability, and reactivity hazards. The degree of hazard is indicated by number ratings. • Proper personal protective equipment, by sketch or by alphabetical designation. In order for the system to be usable, workers will need to understand the numerical and alphabetical codes noted above. An explanation of them is normally transmitted via wall posters, wallet cards, etc. The HMIS labeling system is of limited value in determining chronic health hazards and target organ effects.

CATALOG NO. 58700 • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-8 0503vALL Exhibit (A.2) How To Read And Understand A ~ Material Safety Data Sheet INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS This document reviews the kind of information that should be found when reading a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). However, not all MSDSs will contain all of the information discussed below. Furthermore, the information that is included may vary depending upon the degree to which a chemical is hazardous. In addition, many MSDSs are not prepared according to the format discussed in this exhibit. For example, the section on Fire and Explosion Data, included as Section 4 in this exhibit, could be numbered as Section 3 on one MSDS and as Section 6 on another. Regardless of their numbering, the sections discussed in this exhibit are common to most MSDSs. Therefore, reviewing them should give an idea of the general format of a MSDS and where to find the information needed. If any MSDS is blank, has only a trade name, and a lot of N/A's ("not applicable") on it, it is not going to be useful. Most MSDSs have at least some of .the information filled in. By cross checking the information in various sections, one should be able to determine what needs to be known about the hazards of the chemical. The MSDS should have the name of the chemical written on it. The name, address, and telephone number of the responsible person should also be included, as should the date that the MSDS was prepared. Questions concerning any MSDS should be referred to the inquiring employee's supervisor. MSDS REVIEW OSHA generally suggests that manufacturers/importers utilize a standard format when preparing a MSDS. Though its use is optional, many manufacturers have adapted this suggested format. The following paragraphs will review the types of information typically found on an MSDS that is prepared according to this suggested format. SECTION 1 -PRODUCT INFORMATION AND MANUFACTURER INFORMATION • The trade name on the MSDS should agree with the label on the product container. • Any synonyms listed should be those most commonly used for the product. • Manufacturer name, address, and phone number. This information is especially important as it provides a means of quickly contacting the manufacturer and obtaining additional information on the chemical. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-9 0503vALL Exhibit (A.2) How To Read And Understand A • • • Material Safetv Data Sheet SECTION 2 -HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS The ingredients listed should be the ones that are individually determined to be hazardous chemicals. • Common name of each hazardous ingredient/component should be listed. Examples include trade name, brand name, or generic name. • Chemical name and the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number should also be listed. • The Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) is a standard developed by OSHA. A PEL is, by regulation, the maximum allowable average workday exposure to a particular chemical (i.e. carbon monoxide). There are different PEL's for different chemicals. These limits are normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) for gases and vapors, or as milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) for dust and mist. • The Threshold Limit Value (TLV) represents the highest airborne concentration of a chemical to which most workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect. As with PEL, TLV is normally expressed in parts per million (ppm) for gases and vapors, or as milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) for dust and mist. • It is optional to list the percentage (%) concentration of each hazardous ingredient/component in the product. SECTION 3 -PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS This section is one of the most important and useful sections on the MSDS, both for assessing how hazardous the chemical is and how completely the MSDS is filled out. The data in this section should be for the total mixture or product. Do not be put off by the terms. Once the definitions of the terms are known, one can understand the information presented. Terms likely to be used on an MSDS include the following: • Boiling Point: This is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius at which point the product boils (or becomes gas). Ranges are normally given for mixtures. • Vapor Pressure: A high vapor pressure indicates that a liquid will evaporate easily. The term "volatile" is often used to describe a liquid that evaporates easily. This is important to know because if indicates that air concentrations can build up quickly when the chemical is used in its liquid form. Chemicals with high vapor pressures can be especially hazardous if they are used in an enclosed area or in an area with poor ventilation. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-10 0503vALL Exhibit (A.2) How To Read And Understand A ~ Material Safety Data Sheet Vapor pressures are measured in units of tors or millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) at a certain temperature. For example, xylene has a vapor pressure of 10 mm Hg at 27° - 32° Celsius. Toluene has a vapor pressure of 36 mm Hg at 30° Celsius. These are high vapor pressures and use of these chemicals can lead to hazardous air concentrations. However, even chemicals with lower vapor pressures may pose an inhalation hazard because the method of handling also affects the concentration in air (for example, spraying versus brushing). A vapor pressure should be listed with an applicable temperature or temperature range. • Vapor Density: This is the relative density or weight of a vapor or gas compared with an equal volume of air. If the vapor density of a chemical is less than one, it will tend to rise in air. If the vapor density is greater than one, it will fall in air. Chemicals with high vapor densities pose a particular problem because they will collect in the bottom of tanks or other areas (the vapors of many flammable liquids are heavier than air). • Appearance and Odor: These characteristics may help identify the chemical a person is working with, but odor should not be relied upon to indicate if there is a hazardous concentration of the chemical in air. Some chemicals can reach hazardous levels and not have a noticeable odor. • Specific Gravity: This refers to the ratio of the weight of a volume of the chemical to the weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature. If a chemical has a specific gravity greater than one, it will sink in water. If it has a specific gravity less than one, it will float in water. • Evaporation Rate: This is the rate at which the chemical evaporates compared to ether, which evaporates very quickly, or to butyl acetate which evaporates very slowly. The chemical that is used for comparison (ether or butyl acetate) should be listed. If a chemical has an evaporation rate greater than one, it evaporates more quickly than the chemical to which it is compared. If the rate is less than one, it evaporates more slowly than the chemical to which it is compared. SECTION 4 - FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA This section is important as most dealerships work with flammables, solvents, and other unstable chemicals. If the product does not pose a fire hazard, that.should be stated in this section. Some terms to know are: • Flash Point: The lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to make an ignitable mixture of vapor and air in a test container. • Autoignition Temperature: The temperature at which a chemical will self-ignite and sustain combustion in the absence of a spark or flame. • Flammable Limits in Air - LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and UEL (Upper Explosive Limit): The lower and upper limits of vapor and air concentration, given as percent, which can cause a flash or explosion at ambient temperatures and pressures. C Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-11 0503vALL Exhibit (A.2) How To Read And Understand A ~ Material Safety Data Sheet • Extinguishing Media: This means what kind of fire extinguisher to use. If the chemical is not flammable and/or is completely inert, the MSDS should say so. Otherwise, this line should always be completed. • Special Firefighting Procedures and Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: These would need to be described for any flammable or combustible chemical. Any special procedures or protective equipment that should be used in fighting the fire should be noted. SECTION 5 -PHYSICAL HAZARDS (REACTIVITY DATA) The information in this section will assist in determining safe storage and handling of hazardous, unstable chemicals. Instability or incompatibility of the chemical to common substances such as water, direct sunlight, metals used in piping or containers, acids, alkalis, etc., should be listed here. Stability: Indicates whether the chemical is stable or unstable under reasonable conditions of handling, storage, use, or misuse. If unstable, conditions that could result in a dangerous reaction or decomposition should be noted. • Incompatibility: Common materials or contaminants that the specific chemical could be expected to come into contact with and could produce a reaction should be listed here. Conditions to avoid should also be listed. • Hazardous Decomposition Products: Potential releases should be listed if the chemical is exposed to aging, heating, burning, oxidation, or allowed to react. The shelf life of the chemical should also be listed in this section when applicable. Although some chemicals are innocuous in their original form, when they are exposed to conditions such as aging, burning, etc., they may form hazardous by-products. SECTION 6 -HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION • Health Hazard Data: This should be the estimate of the hazard of the total chemical product. This might be stated as a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) or TLV -see Section 2. Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: The most common sensations or symptoms a person might expect to experience from overexposure to a chemical or its ingredients. The terms "acute" and "chronic" refer to effects based on severity or duration. "Acute" effects usually occur rapidly as a result of short-term exposure, while "chronic" effects generally occur as a result of long-term exposure. Routes of Entry/Exposure: List common effects by route of entry, usually inhalation, absorption, or by skin contact. It should include chronic and acute effects, as well as information . on carcinogenicity. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-12 0503vALL Exhibit (A.2) How To Read And Understand A ~ Material Safety Data Sheet • Effects of Overexposure: Should indicate relevant signs, symptoms and diseases that could result from acute and chronic exposures to the hazardous chemical. • Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Should contain treatment information that could be used by paramedics and individuals trained in first aid. Note to Physician: Should include special information that would be important to a doctor, including required or recommended pre-placement and periodic medical examinations, diagnostic procedures, and medical management of overexposed employees. SECTION 7 -SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SPILL/LEAK PROCEDURES Spill Response: Detailed procedures, protective clothing and equipment, andlor ventilation to be used for cleaning up a spill and providing for safe disposal should be indicated here. • Other Precautions: Any information on safety or health that has not been covered in other sections of the MSDS may be included here. • Waste Disposal Method: If labeling and special handling of clean up residue is necessary, that should be stated along with the appropriate method of disposal (sanitary landfill, incineration, etc.). SECTION 8 -SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION/CONTROL MEASURES This section includes any generally applicable control measures. They could include: • Respiratory Protection: If respirators are required or recommended, the type and class should be stated, such as "supplied air". • Protective Clothing: If protective clothing is required, the type and material of that clothing should be indicated. • Ventilation: If special ventilation is required, the appropriate type of system should be noted. • Protective Gloves: If gloves are recommended, the type should be specified. • Eye Protection: First aid procedures may be listed, such as flooding eyes with water. If splashes may occur, eye protection and eyewash facilities should be recommended. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-13 0503vALL Exhibit (A.3) Category Specific Training - Flammables & Combustibles EXAMPLES 1. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS a. Gasoline b. Some paints and thinners c. Some solvents 2. FLAMMABLE GASES a. Acetylene 3. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS a. Diesel Fuel b. Lubricating Oils and Greases c. Some Solvents KEY DEFINITIONS 1. FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to make an ignitable mixture of vapor and air in a test container. It is an indicator of how easily a material will catch fire. A chemical designated "flammable" has a flash point of less than 100° F. Those with flash points of 100° F or higher are classified as combustible. 2. EVAPORATION RATE: The rate at which the chemical evaporates compared to ether, which evaporates very quickly, or to butyl acetate, which evaporates very slowly. If a chemical has an evaporation rate greater than one, it evaporates faster than the chemical to which it is compared. If the rate is less than one, it evaporates more slowly than the chemical to which it is compared. A chemical that evaporates. easily will also typically have a high "vapor pressure", and air concentrations can build up rapidly when the liquid is in use. Chemicals with high vapor pressures can be especially hazardous when one is working with them in an enclosed area or an area with poor ventilation. Hazards include those from inhalation of vapors (health hazard) in addition to the danger of fire or explosion (physical hazard). 3. EXPLOSIVE LIMITS: The upper and lower limits of vapor and air concentration (given as a percent) which, when exposed to a source of ignition, can cause a flash or explosion at ambient temperatures and pressures. Concentrations outside these limits (higher or lower) are usually too "rich" or too "lean" to ignite when exposed to an ignition source. Explosive limits are especially applicable for vapors that are heavier than air. A good example would be gasoline vapors. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-14 0503vALL Exhibit (A.3) Category Specific Training - Flammables & Combustibles PHYSICAL HAZARDS AND CHARACTERISTICS 1. FIRE AND EXPLOSION: Both flammable and combustible chemicals present fire and explosion hazards if the chemicals are not handled properly. Many aerosol sprays present a special explosion hazard when exposed to heat or fire. Each MSDS should have a section on the fire and explosion hazard posed by the chemical. 2. REACTIVITY: Most flammable and combustible chemicals common to automotive service activities are stable and will not react violently with water or other chemicals. Any special data on reactivity should be included in the MSDS. HEALTH EFFECTS 1. ROUTES OF ENTRY: Most chemicals also pose a health hazard to exposed individuals. The three general "routes of entry" for a chemical to affect an individual are reviewed below: a. Inhalation (breathing in vapors): Most people have breathed detectable vapors of one sort of another. While some are generally considered harmless, others are not. For example, many volatile chemicals can reach fatal concentrations inside a closed or poorly ventilated area such as inside a tank. Protecting this route of entry normally includes the use of mechanical ventilation designed to maintain vapor concentrations at a safe level. Respiratory equipment can also prevent access to this route of entry. In some instances a paper face mask will suffice. In other situations, a positive pressure air respirator may be required. The MSDS will provide guidance on safe exposure limits. b. Dermal (contact with the skin): Some chemicals can directly affect the skin. For example, repeated exposure to many solvents can result in dryness and irritation of the skin. A released compressed gas can cool or even freeze the skin. Eyes, as the most sensitive surface tissue, are especially susceptible to damage. Some chemicals can be absorbed right through the skin and the health effects can be the same as if they were inhaled. Use of protective clothing and commonsense practices are commonly used to seal off this route of access. For example, some paint products may require the use of full protective clothing. However, in other instances, exposed individuals are advised to use gloves, goggles, etc. Additionally, they should normally clean contaminated skin and change excessively contaminated clothing to minimize dermal exposure. • Hazazd Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-15 0503vALL Exhibit (A.3) Category Specific Training - Flammables & Combustibles c. Ingestion (swallowing the chemical): Few are going to drink or otherwise intentionally ingest a dangerous chemical. However, poor hygiene can result in vapors settling on food and liquids (coffee, etc.) that are later consumed. Chemicals can also be ingested when a worker with contaminated skin. handles food, cigarettes, etc. Ingestion is normally prevented by sound hygiene practices. For example, food should not be openly stored or eaten in the work area. In addition, all employees should wash before eating, drinking, or smoking. 2. COMMON EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: a. Inhalation: High concentrations of vapors are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. These concentrations may cause headaches, dizziness, and/or sleepiness. Nausea and loss of coordination may also occur. b. Dermal: Prolonged or repeated liquid contact may cause defatting of the skin leading to dryness. Skin irritation and dermatitis (reddening and inflamed skin) may also occur. Some solvents can be absorbed through the skin and result in health effects similar to those that occur when the chemical is inhaled. c. Ingestion: May produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems. Poisoning can also result. For examples, lead poisoning can result from ingestion of certain paint products. DETECTION OF A RELEASE 1. ODOR: Most vapors produce an odor or cause a person's nose or eyes to be irritated. However, odor thresholds (lowest level that can be detected) vary from person to person and should not be depended upon as a reliable warning mechanism. In addition, exposure to some chemicals produces olfactory fatigue, a rapid loss of ability to smell the odor. 2. APPEARANCE: Most vapors are invisible and provide no visible warning. However, many dealership chemicals have a low vapor pressure and thus evaporate slowly. These chemicals normally have a color and/or viscosity (thickness) that will allow it to quickly distinguish them from water or other free liquid common to shop operations. 3. INSTRUMENTATION: A variety of industrial hygiene instruments can be used to measure employee exposures. Normally, these instruments are only used to monitor exposure levels and will probably not be in use in the event of a release. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-16 0503vALL Exhibit (A.3) Category Specific Training - Flammables & Combustibles EMERGENCY RESPONSE 1. SPILL CLEANUP: The dealership relies primarily upon community provided services for emergency response to a substantial release of a flammable or combustible liquid. Emergency response procedures are more fully addressed in the dealership's Emergency Response Plan. However, we do maintain a supply of absorbent material that can be utilized in a housekeeping sense to clean up small spills (less than five gallons). The following procedures should be generally followed when cleaning up a release: a. Shut off and eliminate all sources of ignition. b. Contain the released liquid by diking around it using sand, earth, or other absorbent material. If necessary, dike around storm or sanitary sewer drains in order to prevent the liquid from flowing into them. c. Attempt to prevent any additional release. An example would be closing a leaking valve or turning off a pump that is causing the release. d. Recover the. free product by adding sand, earth, or other absorbent material to the spilled liquid. It may also be possible to pump a significant portion of the contained liquid. e. Minimize breathing vapors and skin contact. This may require the use of protective clothing or other personal protective equipment. f. Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and windows. g. Dispose of contaminated absorbent in accordance with applicable regulations. 2. FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Each MSDS includes first aid information specific to the chemical and should be immediately reviewed to determine proper first aid activities. A physician should also be immediately consulted. General first aid responses include: a. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lift both upper and lower lids. If condition persists, consult a physician. b. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. c. Inhalation: If overcome or affected by vapors, remove from exposure to a source of fresh air. Call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, resuscitation efforts may be initiated by a qualified individual. d. Ingestion: Call emergency medical aid immediately. Consult the MSDS to determine if vomiting should be induced or if individual should be provided other first aid measures. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-17 0503vALL Exhibit (A.3) Category Specific Training - Flammables & Combustibles PERSONAL PROTECTIVE E UIPMENT Use chemical-resistant gloves, aprons, or clothing if repeated or prolonged skin contact is likely to occur. Use splash goggles and/or face shield when eye or face contact may occur. If required, use approved respiratory protection equipment as provided by the dealership. ENGINEERING CONTROLS/WORK PRACTICES 1. VENTILATION: Used to prevent buildup of vapors to a level that poses a health, fire, or explosion hazard. 2. CONTAINERS: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store or place containers near heat or any source of ignition. 3. SMOKING: Do not smoke when near flammable vapors (i.e. gasoline). • • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-18 0503vALL Exhibit (A.4) Category Specific Training - Corrosives EXAMPLES 1. ACIDS a. Battery Acid (sulfuric acid) b. Metal Prep Solutions 2. CAUSTICS (ALKALIS) a. Certain Soaps b. Certain Cleaners KEY DEFINITIONS 1. CORROSIVITY: The ability to dissolve solid material or to chemically change its surface. 2. PH: A symbol for the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale runs from 0 - 14. pH values from 0 - 7 indicate acidity and from 7 - 14 indicate alkalinity. Water has a pH of approximately 7. A strong acid has a low pH. For example, a pH of 1 indicates a strong acid. A high pH, i.e., 13, indicates a strongly corrosive alkaline. PHYSICAL HAZARDS AND CHARACTERISTICS 1. FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Most corrosives are neither flammable nor combustible. However, many can react with other materials to release fumes or gases. These fumes or gases can create a mixture that can explode. Example: sulfuric acid in a battery reacts with lead and frees hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is a flammable (explosive) gas. 2. REACTIVITY: The very nature of a corrosive is that it will react with other materials. pH is a measure of this reactivity. Very low values (0 - 2) and very high values (12 - 14) mean the solution is very reactive. HEALTH EFFECTS 1. ROUTES OF ENTRY: The three general "routes of entry" for a corrosive to affect an individual are inhalation, dermal (skin) contact (including eye contact), and ingestion. Routes of entry are discussed in greater detail in Exhibit (A.4) under "Health Effects". • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-19 0503vALL Exhibit (A.4) Category Specific Training - Corrosives 2. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: a. Inhalation: Diluted concentrations may produce irritation of the upper respiratory tract and pulmonary edema (a collection of fluid in the lungs). Should this occur, exposed individuals may find it difficult to take a deep breath without coughing or experiencing a burning sensation. High concentrations may produce loss of consciousness and chemical pneumonitis (an infection of the lungs similar to pneumonia). b. Dermal: Concentrated solutions may produce severe burns. Exposure can also result in skin ulceration and blisters. Diluted alkaline concentrations may cause defatting and drying of skin. Corrosives are especially dangerous if eye contact occurs. A corrosive mist can produce irritation and tearing. Liquid can produce severe burns to the eye and damage eye tissue. In especially severe cases, blindness can occur. c. Ingestion: Most corrosives will damage the digestive tract. Gastritis, ulceration, and scarring of the digestive tract are likely. Corrosives can also produce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. If sufficient quantities are swallowed, the results may be fatal. DETECTION OF A RELEASE 1. ODOR: Vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Sensitivity varies from person to person and cannot be depended upon as an always reliable warning mechanism. Some soaps will have an odorizing agent mixed in them to produce a more pleasant (and distinct) odor. 2. APPEARANCE: Corrosives can vary in color and viscosity. Battery acid, for example, is normally a colorless liquid, much like water. Most soaps will have a coloring agent added. 3. INSTRUMENTATION: A variety of industrial hygiene instruments can be used to measure employee exposures. Normally, however, these instruments are not used at automotive repair facilities. EMERGENCY RESPONSE 1. SPILL CLEANUP: The dealership relies primarily upon community provided services for emergency response to a substantial release of a corrosive liquid. Emergency response procedures are more fully addressed in the dealership's Emergency Response Plan. However, we do normally maintain a supply of absorbent material that can be utilized in a housekeeping sense to clean up small spills (less than five gallons). The following procedures should be generally followed when cleaning up a release: a. Shut off and eliminate all sources of ignition. b. Contain the released liquid by diking around it using sand, earth, or other absorbent material. If necessary, dike around storm or sanitary sewer drains in order to prevent the liquid from flowing into them. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-20 0503vALL Exhibit (A.4) Category Specific Training - Corrosives c. Attempt to prevent any additional release (after donning appropriate personal protective equipment). d. Neutralize released material to pH 7 or 8 (i.e., acid -use lime; caustic -use vinegar). Note: If neutralizing materials are not available, clean up the release as outlined in steps l.e. - l.i. below. e. Absorb spilled material using sand, earth, or other absorbent. Floor cleaning/sweeping materials are appropriate. f. Avoid breathing vapors and avoid skin contact. Wear protective clothing and equipment including chemical resistant gloves, eye protection, and possibly a positive pressure air respirator unit. g. Ventilate the area with local exhaust systems or by opening available doors and windows. h. Place contaminated absorbent material in polyethylene or polyethylene-lined container for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with applicable regulations. i. Thoroughly flush the surface with water where the spill occurred ensuring that the wash water is not released into the environment. 2. FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Each MSDS includes first aid information specific to the chemical and should be immediately reviewed to deternune proper first aid activities. A physician should also be immediately consulted. General first aid responses include: a. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lift upper and lower lids. Consult a physician. b. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and immediately flush contaminated areas with large amounts of water. c. Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air at once and call a physician immediately. If breathing is irregular or has stopped, a qualified individual may begin artificial respiration. d. Ingestion: Drink large quantities of water to dilute the corrosive. Do not induce vomiting as this could cause further damage to the esophagus. Call a physician immediately. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Use chemical-resistant gloves, aprons, or clothing if skin contact is likely to occur. Use splash goggles and/or face shield when eye or face contact may occur. Use approved respiratory equipment as provided by the dealership.

VENTILATION: To be used to prevent build up of vapors to a level that poses a health or fire or explosion hazard. 2 CONTAINERS: Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not store or place containers near flammables/combustibles or near heat/sources of ignition. 3. MIXING: Do not add water to corrosive materials. Handle carefully to prevent splashing on clothes, eyes, or unprotected skin. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-22 0503vALL Exhibit (A.5) • • Category Specific Training -Compressed Gases EXAMPLES 1. Compressed Oxygen 2. Compressed Acetylene 3. Compressed Freon PHYSICAL HAZARDS AND CHARACTERISTICS 1. PRESSURIZED VESSEL: Most compressed gases are contained under high pressure in heavy metal cylinders (i.e. compressed oxygen is an example). Typically, gas is released from one of these vessels by opening a valve at the top of the cylinder. If a release valve is broken off, the escape of pressurized gas could cause the containment cylinder to act like an unguided rocket. 2. FIRE AND EXPLOSION: Certain compressed gases such as acetylene, are flammable. Compressed oxygen is an oxidizer and its release can promote vigorous growth of a fire. Under fire conditions, some compressed gases can decompose into dangerous gases. For example, Freon can decompose into phosgene. All compressed gas cylinders can explode under conditions of excessive heat and pressure, particularly those that can occur in a fire situation. In addition to the danger of flying metal, such an event would result in the rapid release of potentially dangerous gas. 3. REACTIVITY: Compressed gases often react with certain metals or gases. A reactive situation is unlikely under normal operating circumstances. Data on reactivity is included in the individual MSDS. HEALTH EFFECTS 1. ROUTES OF ENTRY: The two likely "routes of entry" for a compressed gas to affect an individual are inhalation and dermal (skin) contact (including eye contact). Ingestion is unlikely as the chemicals are gas at room temperature. 2. COMMON EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE: a. Inhalation: High concentrations of gases other than oxygen can displace oxygen and act as an asphyxiant. This can result in numerous health effects including diminished alertness and depression of all sensations, nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness, irregular pulse and death. b. Dermal: Contact of cryogenic liquid, such as Freon, or rapidly expanding gas with the skin or eyes may cause frostbite. More routine contact with some gases may be irritating to skin or eyes. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-23 0503vALL Exhibit (A.5) Category Specific Training -Compressed Gases DETECTION OF A RELEASE 1. ODOR: Many compressed gases are odorless and colorless, such as carbon dioxide. Concentration of some gases may produce a detectible odor, such as acetylene. 2. APPEARANCE: Normally invisible; however in some instances, a rapidly releasing gas may cool surrounding air thereby condensing moisture and creating afog-like atmosphere. 3. NOISE: Significant release of gas by a highly pressurized storage vessel may result in an audible hissing sound. EMERGENCY RESPONSE 1. RELEASE RESPONSE: The dealership relies primarily upon community provided services for emergency response to a substantial release of a compressed gas. Emergency response procedures to be implemented by dealership personnel are generally limited to the following: a. Cryogenic Release: Clear and evacuate the facility and allow the liquid to dissipate and then adhere to the following guidance. b. Gaseous Release: Uncontrolled releases should be addressed by the appropriate community response agency (i.e. fire department). Facility should normally be evacuated until determined to be safe. If possible to do safely, shut off ignition sources and, if release is caused by an open valve, stop the leak by closing the valve. For small leaks, if possible to do safely, a cylinder may be moved to an area outdoors and away from any source of ignition. 2. FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Each MSDS includes first aid information specific to the chemical and should be immediately reviewed to determine proper first aid activities. A physician should also be immediately consulted. General first aid responses include: a. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air as quickly as possible. Do not attempt to retrieve a victim of over exposure without adequate personal protective equipment as specified on the chemical MSDS. b. Eye Contact: Flush with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Occasionally lift both upper and lower lids. c. Skin Contact: Wash affected area with soap and water. If frostbite is an issue, place affected area in warm (not hot) water or wrap in blankets. Encourage victim to exercise affected part while being warmed. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-24 0503vALL Exhibit (A.5) • Category Specific Training -Compressed Gases PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Use eye and skin protective equipment appropriate for the job. This could include safety goggles or safety shields for eyes, and leather or other suitable protection for hands and skin during cutting and welding. ENGINEERING CONTROLS/WORK PRACTICES 1. VENTILATION: Use compressed gases only in well-ventilated areas. 2. STORAGE: Store compressed gas containers upright in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas with valve protection cap in place. Do not store cylinders near source of ignition or where cylinder temperature can exceed 120° F. 3. SPECIAL ENGINEERING CONTROLS FOR BOTTLED GASES: A primary hazard from these gases is their containment under high pressure. If a release valve is broken off, a cylinder (or other container) can act like an unguided rocket. The following special engineering controls for these gases are intended primarily to prevent such an incident: a. Always transport gas cylinder with the safety cap in place. ~~ b. Secure cylinder to hand cart or truck when transporting. c. Never remove the safety cap unless the cylinder is properly secured. d. Store compressed gas cylinders upright and secured to a wall or other stable structure. Secure using a chain or other securing device. Full and empty containers should be segregated. Properly separate flammable gases from oxidizers (i.e. acetylene and oxygen). e. Ensure the proper regulator is used on a compressed gas cylinder. f. Close cylinder valve after each use and when cylinder is empty. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-25 0503vALL Exhibit (A.6) Chemical Hazard Training - Additional Hazards PHYSICAL HAZARDS There are additional chemicals that may be present at the dealership that do not fit well into the three categories discussed in Exhibits (A.3) through (A.5). Examples include antifreeze, chlorinated solvents, and some cleaning products. While the individual MSDS should be consulted, the physical hazards of this category can include incompatibility or reactivity in addition to the many hazards already noted for other dealership chemicals. HEALTH HAZARDS The MSDS for some dealership chemicals list more severe health effects that could potentially result from exposure to a chemical, particularly overexposure. These effects can include irritation, redness, or swelling of the affected area, sensitization (which is a development of an increasingly severe reaction to a chemical), central nervous system damage including numbness and nervous twitches, internal tissue damage such as liver or kidney harm, and cancer and/or reproductive harm. To determine the hazards of a particular chemical, carefully read the product label and the Material Safety Data Sheet. • • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page A-26 0503vALL Appendix (B) Training Plan for Asbestos Control -Wet Method • OVERVIEW OF ASBESTOS IN THE AUTOMOBILE SERVICE INDUSTRY Asbestos is one of the best friction materials available. Consequently, many brake shoes and clutch plates still contain this fibrous material. When these shoes and plates are new and the asbestos is bonded together with other materials in construction, these parts are safe to handle. However, during use, brakes and clutches deteriorate. Asbestos fibers are freed from these bonding agents and often end up in brake and clutch dust. This asbestos laden dust is easily disturbed during repair work allowing these normally invisible fibers to become airborne. Once airborne, asbestos fibers can linger in the air for hours to be inhaled by personnel throughout the shop. Certain practices, such as the use of compressed air to clean brake shoes and backing plates, can result in high levels of airborne asbestos possibly in excess of regulatory standards, and are prohibited. Fortunately, there are methods that if properly implemented are normally able to reduce airborne asbestos levels down to very low levels. Successful implementation of any of these methods requires the active participation of dealership employees that deal with asbestos. HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO ASBESTOS EXPOSURE There is substantial data validating the adverse health effects that result from exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. Research also notes a clear link between exposure levels and the risk of contracting an asbestos-related disease, most likely asbestosis or cancer. There is no known asbestos level below which health effects do not occur. However, low exposure levels do present a comparatively small risk. As discussed elsewhere in this training plan government studies show that with proper control techniques, the amount of airborne asbestos in a dealership can be held to very low levels. 1. EXPOSURE ROUTES: a. Inhalation: Medical studies of asbestos-related diseases have revealed that the primary exposure route is inhalation. This exposure may be classified as "occupational exposure" for workers and "paraoccupational exposure" for workers' families due to asbestos on work clothes taken home. b. Ingestion: There have been no conclusive studies to date indicating that ingestion of asbestos in food or water results in health damage. However, because of concern that there may be potential health impacts not yet identified, there are Federal regulations specifying asbestos limitations in ambient water and in products such as food processing filters. c. Skin Contact: There is currently no evidence to indicate that asbestos fibers can penetrate the skin tissue. Some workers have indicated that asbestos fibers irritate the skin resulting in a rash similar to that experienced with handling of other fibrous materials such as fiberglass insulation. • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page B-1 0503vALL Appendix (B) Training Plan for Asbestos Control -Wet Method 2. LATENCY PERIOD: It usually takes 15 - 30 years or more for cancer or asbestos lung scarring to show up after exposure. Scientists call this the "latency period". Until then, the victim often feels fine. This gives a false sense of security. For example, if a person touches a hot stove, he is burned right away. However, with asbestos, the damage is not obvious until many -years later. This false sense of security can easily lead a worker andlor supervisor to follow work practices that can cause harmful exposures since they are not aware that disease may develop later. ASBESTOS EXPOSURE STANDARD In 1995, the Federal government adopted a new standard for airborne asbestos levels in the workplace. In brief, it reduced the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for workers to 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc). This standard also includes preferred asbestos control methods. DEALERSHIP POLICY Motor City Lexus recognizes that vehicle maintenance operations involving the repair and maintenance of asbestos contaminated parts pose risks to exposed workers. Therefore, it is dealership policy that: 1. The dealership take all steps necessary to ensure that shop airborne asbestos levels remain below the 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter (0.1 f/cc) PEL as defined by the Federal asbestos standard. 2. The dealership will implement approved asbestos control activities even if asbestos levels remain well below allowable levels. 3. Employees who violate required procedures may be subject to disciplinary action. ASBESTOS CONTROL METHOD This dealership will use the "wet method" to control airborne asbestos levels during brake and clutch repair. This method involves use of a brake washer unit and/or aerosol cans of brake cleaner. Available data indicate that proper application of this wetting method can reduce concentrations of airborne asbestos to levels well below the PEL. General application of this control method is outlined below. Note that the training outline is directed towards brake repair work. Related procedures will apply for work involving clutch repair. In addition, manufacturer/distributor guidance specific to the operation of any brake parts unit at the dealership should be reviewed prior to using it. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page B-2 0503vALL Appendix (B) Training Plan for Asbestos Control -Wet Method PERFORMING THE WORK Before explaining the asbestos control activities, it is important to again emphasize that the objective of these activities is to minimize the concentration of airborne asbestos in the shop area. None of the steps outlined below are mysterious or complicated. However, each plays an important part in a successful asbestos control strategy. 1. Remove the Wheel(s): This is self-explanatory. 2. Remove the Brake Drum: If the work involves removal of a brake drum, the technician should recognize that failure to observe appropriate work practices can release substantial amounts of asbestos laden dust. Caution is warranted. The key requirements in this step are to remove the drum as gently as possible and to avoid spilling any dust that may be cradled within the drum. After removing the drum, it should be gently placed in the basin of the washing unit. Brake dust contained in the drum should be thoroughly but gently wet down with the solvent or aqueous solution contained in the brake washer and washed from the drum. The dust free drum can then be wiped dry and set aside. If an aerosol spray is used for this wetting purpose the technician should begin spraying at a sufficient distance from the drum to ensure that asbestos particles are not dislodged by the velocity of the spray. The drum should not be wiped clean until the dust is thoroughly dampened. If it is necessary to use tools (i.e. a hammer) to loosen the drum, the technician should be especially attentive to removing the drum gently. Try to avoid pulling or yanking it in a sudden, sharp motion that can release much of the dust contained in it. 3. Wet Down Entire Brake Assembly Area: Brake pads, rotors, drums, and backing plates should be wet down using the solution-fed brake washer brush or other cleaning instrument included with the unit. If an aerosol spray is used for this purpose, ensure that the spray can is held at a sufficient distance so that the force of the spray does not dislodge dust particles. For either process, ensure that the solvent brake washer basin or other catch basin is placed directly under the brake assembly so that runoff will fall into it rather than dropping onto the floor. After washing, the brake assembly can be wiped down with a rag. 4. Remove Damaged or Worn Parts: Parts should be thoroughly washed in the unit (or wet down with aerosol spray) and wiped clean before being set aside. Properly cleaned, nonfriable brake parts may be disposed as normal refuse. 5. Cleanup: Ensure any contaminated liquid that drips from the brake area onto the shop floor is promptly wiped up. If allowed to dry, any asbestos in it can easily become airborne. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus ~ Page B-3 0503vALL Appendix (B) Training Plan for Asbestos Control -Wet Method 6. Disposal: Proper execution of the above steps should effectively control shop asbestos during vehicle maintenance. However, asbestos will now be contained in the liquid solution in the brake washer unit, if such a unit is used. This asbestos bearing liquid may be hazardous and should be managed in accordance with applicable State and Federal regulations. Rags used in this process may also contain asbestos. These rags must be properly managed by placing them in a closed receptacle for pickup and recycled by an authorized laundry service. Though nonfriable used brake shoes and pads may continue to contain asbestos fibers, these fibers are tightly bound and should not be released during reasonably foreseeable handling. Therefore, if these old shoes or pads (and any other parts) are wiped clean of any loose dirt, dust, etc., they typically require no special labeling. CAUTION Under no circumstances is a standard shop or home vacuum cleaner to be used to clean asbestos laden dust. The filter bags used in these machines are not fine enough to trap asbestos filters. Instead, these vacuums are likely to stir up asbestos fibers and scatter them into the air. PERSONAL HYGIENE Certain personal hygiene measures can further reduce exposure levels and health risks for those who work with asbestos. Therefore, technicians should observe the following practices. Particular attention should be given to the section dealing with the effects of smoking. 1. REFRAIN FROM EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING IN THE AREA WHERE BRAKE OR CLUTCH REPAIR WORK IS BEING DONE: Asbestos fibers can settle on food, cigarettes, etc., and a technician who disregards this guidance will be handling substances that may be contaminated with asbestos. These fibers can then be ingested or inhaled. Those who smoke, should remove their cigarettes from any open shirt pocket and properly cover them before beginning clutch or brake work. For example, the cigarettes could be put in a toolbox. 2. WASH HANDS AND FACE BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING: This practice should remove asbestos fibers that have settled on the hands and face or are entrained in oil and grease that the mechanic may get on his skin during brake and clutch work. 3. WASH ALL EXPOSED SKIN AND CHANGE CLOTHES BEFORE GOING HOME: The purpose is to avoid contaminating others, especially family members, with asbestos. Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page B-4 0503vALL Appendix (B) Training Plan for Asbestos Control -Wet Method 4. STOP SMOKING: Studies have shown that exposure to asbestos, combined with cigarette smoking, create a significantly higher risk of developing an asbestos-related disease. For example, the EPA has estimated that a smoker exposed to asbestos has a much higher chance of developing lung cancer compared to a similarly exposed nonsmoker. Some information suggests that quitting smoking can reduce this risk. • • Hazard Communication Program -Motor City Lexus Page B-5 0503vALL
