Designation:E288912An American National StandardStandard Practice forControl of Respiratory Hazards in the Metal Removal FluidEnvironment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2889;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice sets forth guidelines to control respiratoryhazards in the metal removal environment.1.2 This practice does not include prevention of dermatitiswhich is the subject of Practice E2693 but it does adopt asimilar systems management approach with many controlelements in common.1.3 This practice focuses on employee exposure via inhala-tion of metal removal fluids and associated airborne agents.1.4 Metal removal fluids used for wet machining operations(such as cutting,drilling,milling or grinding)that removemetal to produce the finished part are a subset of metalworkingfluids.This practice does not apply to other operations(such asstamping,rolling,forging or casting)that use metalworkingfluids other than metal removal fluids.These other types ofmetalworking fluid operations are not included in this docu-ment because of limited information on health effects,includ-ing epidemiology studies,and on control technologies.Nonetheless,some of the exposure control approaches andguidance contained in this document may be useful formanaging respiratory hazards associated with other types ofmetalworking fluids.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1356 Terminology Relating to Sampling and Analysis ofAtmospheresD2881 Classification for Metalworking Fluids and RelatedMaterialsD7049 Test Method for Metal Removal Fluid Aerosol inWorkplace AtmospheresE1302 Guide for Acute Animal Toxicity Testing of Water-Miscible Metalworking FluidsE1370 Guide for Air Sampling Strategies for Worker andWorkplace ProtectionE1497 Practice for Selection and Safe Use of Water-Miscible and Straight Oil Metal Removal FluidsE1542 Terminology Relating to Occupational Health andSafetyE1972 Practice for Minimizing Effects of Aerosols in theWet Metal Removal EnvironmentE2144 Practice for Personal Sampling and Analysis of En-dotoxin in Metalworking Fluid Aerosols in WorkplaceAtmospheresE2148 Guide for Using Documents Related to Metalworkingor Metal Removal Fluid Health and SafetyE2169 Practice for Selecting Antimicrobial Pesticides forUse in Water-Miscible Metalworking FluidsE2275 Practice for Evaluating Water-Miscible Metalwork-ing Fluid Bioresistance and Antimicrobial Pesticide Per-formanceE2523 Terminology for Metalworking Fluids and Opera-tionsE2563 Practice for Enumeration of Non-Tuberculosis Myco-bacteria in Aqueous Metalworking Fluids by Plate CountMethodE2564 Practice for Enumeration of Mycobacteria in Metal-working Fluids by Direct Microscopic Counting(DMC)MethodE2657 Test Method for Determination of Endotoxin Con-centrations in Water-Miscible Metalworking FluidsE2693 Practice for Prevention of Dermatitis in the WetMetal Removal Fluid EnvironmentE2694 Test Method for Measurement of Adenosine Triphos-phate in Water-Miscible Metalworking Fluids1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E34 onOccupational Health and Safety and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeE34.50 on Health and Safety Standards for Metal Working Fluids.Current edition approved Oct.1,2012.Published November 2012.DOI:10.1520/E2889-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.2 OSHA(US Occupational Safety and Health Administra-tion)Standards:329 CFR 1910.132 Personal Protective Equipment29 CFR 1910.134 Use of Respiratory Protection in theWorkplace29 CFR 1010.1020 Access to Employee Exposure andMedical Records29 CFR 1910.1048 Formaldehyde29 CFR 1910.1200 Hazard Communication2.3 EPA(US Environmental Protection Agency)Standards:440 CFR 156 Labeling Requirements for Pesticides andDevices2.4 Other Documents:ANSI Technical Report B11 TR 2-1997,Mist Control Con-siderations for the Design,Installation and Use of Ma-chine Tools Using Metalworking Fluids5Metal Working Fluid Optimization Guide,National Centerfor Manufacturing Sciences6Metal Removal Fluids,A Guide To Their Management andControl,Organization Resources Counselors,Inc.7Industrial Ventilation:A Manual of Recommended Practic
