Increased Sustainability

JM ber glass insulation maintains its energy eciency for the life of the home. Thats why

professional builders use JM ber glass insulation.

More Recycled Content

JM building insulation products are independently tested and certied to contain more post

consumer recycled content than any other ber glass insulation in the US . Independently

tested with a minimum of 20% post consumer recycled content. This means JM Insulation is

the green choice for your home.

Insulation is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home because it provides

year-round comfort and savings in important ways:

Lower energy bills

Insulation keeps your home warmer in the winter, which lowers your heating costs. In the

summer, insulation keeps your home cooler, which eases the load on your air conditioner.

Quieter, more comfortable living

Insulation can actually absorb sound, reducing the unwanted internal and external noise from

appliances, audio equipment, conversation and other sources of sound that are transmitted

through your ceiling, walls and oors.

Section 7 - Handling and StorageHandling Procedures

Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet when handling uncontained material. Handle inaccordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

Storage ProceduresWarehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Material should be kept clean, dry, and in originalpackaging.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal ProtectionExposure GuidelinesA: General Product Information

National Occupational Exposure Standard (NES) Australian Safety and Compensation Council, ASCC (formerlyNOHSC):For Synthetic Mineral Fibres (SMF) the TWA exposure standard is 0.5 fibres per mL. For non-respirable fibres, in situationswhere almost all the airborne material is fibrous, a secondary, yet complementary, TWA exposure standard of 2 mg/m3(inspirable dust) is proposed.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTPersonal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face

Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.

Personal Protective Equipment: EarsUse ear protection (earplugs, hood, or earmuffs) to prevent airborne dust or fibers from entering the ear, if necessary.

Personal Protective Equipment: SkinDirect skin contact can be minimized by wearing long sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or hat, and standard duty glovesconforming to Australian Standard AS 2161. Work clothes should be washed regularly and separately from other clothes.

Personal Protective Equipment: RespiratoryWhen handling glass wool insulation, particularly during work in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas, an approved particulaterespirator conforming to Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 is recommended. Use onlyrespirators that bear the Australian Standards mark and are fitted and maintained.

VentilationIn fixed manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting, milling or other processing to

remove airborne dust and fibers.Personal Protective Equipment: General

Wear a cap, a loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirt and long pants to protect skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should bewashed with soap and water after handling or working with fiber glass. Clothing should be washed separately from otherclothes, and the washer should be rinsed thoroughly (run empty for a complete wash cycle).

can specify JM fiber glass insulationwith confidence.

Over 60 years of product use and independent testing confirm the safety of fiber glass.

JM fiber glass insulation products have been manufactured and marketed for over 60 years. Throughout that time,

extensive medical and scientific research has been conducted and reviewed by various U.S. and world health agencies

to determine the safety of working with fiber glass throughout the process of manufacturing, installation, and commercial

and residential use. The research has consistently verified the safety of fiber glass. Insulation fiber glass was found to

be safe for workers to manufacture, install, and use when appropriate work practices are followed, preventing temporary

mechanical irritation. Insulation fiber glass is also safe for the building occupants who enjoy the lasting thermal and

acoustical comfort benefits of insulation fiber glass.

Did you know

In 2001, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) removed

insulation glass fibers from its list of possible carcinogens. Based on the review by an international panel of experts,the IARC reported that studies published during the 15 years since the previous IARC Monographs review ofthese fibers in 1988 provide no evidence of increased risks of lung cancer or of mesothelioma (cancer of the liningof the body cavities) from occupational exposures during manufacture of these materials, and inadequate evidenceoverall of any cancer risk.

1

Specifically, IARC downgraded the classification of these insulation glass fibers from Group 2B (possiblecarcinogen) to Group 3 (not classifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans). All fiber glass wool fibers that arecommonly used for thermal and acoustical insulation are included in the Group 3 classification.

2

In 2000, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences also found no significant association between fiber exposureand lung cancer or nonmalignant respiratory disease in the MVF [Man-made Vitreous Fibers] manufacturingenvironment.

3

In 2004, the U.S. Department of Health and Human ServicesAgency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry(ATSDR) released the Toxicological Profile for Synthetic Vitreous Fibers. The profile is consistent with IARCsfindings, reporting that exposure to SVFs [Synthetic Vitreous Fibers] are low [and] that epidemiological studiesshowed no consistent evidence of disease among groups of workers involved in the manufacture of SVFs.

4

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the National Toxicology Program (NTP) recently

announced its intention to review the industry request to remove insulation glass fibers from the official United

States list of carcinogens, known as the Report on Carcinogens.5

Johns Manville expects final action on this request

sometime

in 2009.

Johns Manville is determined to protect your safety.

Because of our commitment to our workers, contractors, and product end-users, Johns Manville is at the forefront

of providing the latest findings by health agencies and organizations.

Johns Manville was a leading manufacturer participating in the Health and Safety Partnership Program between OSHA andthe North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA). Johns Manville is now an active participant in theNAIMA fiber glass product stewardship program. Johns Manville will also continue to monitor the development,manufacture, and use of all its fiber glass products.
