The need to address safety, health, and environmental hazards associated with composites and their use is a key aspect of continued growth and development within the composites industry. The complex challenges facing each facet of this field require in-depth analysis and simplifying organization so that the scope of the problems can be characterized and appropriate solutions can be proposed. The ultimate goal is legal, technical, managerial, and financial compatibility with constantly improving performance capability. The solution is the development of a composite plan tailored to specific needs.

This essential information captures the state of the composites industry to assist engineering/technical professionals in charting a course for achieving economic success. The material characteristics of composites, their applications, and complex composites manufacturing processes depend on many factors. These are all fully considered and presented to meet the challenges that face this marketplace. The expert panel of writers from various industry segments (i.e., commercial/military aerospace, wind energy, automotive, and bicycle industries) address fundamental topics and explore the affordability of composites from raw material to end-of life-disposal costs with skilled perspectives that include: • Material characteristics and economics of composite structure • Complex manufacturing and specifics of assembly methods • Applications for composites • Product and human health • Safety and environmental impacts The authors provide strong basic economics concepts that are directly applied to the composites industry. The content conveys both the reality of the industry, as well as the trends and constantly emerging challenges that impact the cost of composites and are necessary for return on investment, as well as enabling the full potential of composites.

There has been a significant increase in the use of composite materials on Air Force, and their use is expected to increase futrther as new weapon systems are fielded. Along with the increased use of composites is an increase in composite repair activities in the Air Force. The Structural Maintenance community has expressed concern over inconsistencies in protective equipment requirements from base to base. The Air Force Research Laboratory's Advanced Composites Support Office (ACSO) routinely finds inconsistencies in engineering controls and protective equipment among composite repair facilities throughout the Air Force. As a result of these concerns, the ACSO requested the Industrial Hygiene (IH) Branch of the Institute for ESOH Risk Analysis (IERA) evaluate advanced composite, fiberglass, and aircraft battle damage repair operations in the Air Force and recommend appropriate protective equipment and engineering controls in order to standardiz procedures and reduce worker exposures. The IH Branch was also asked to determine whether the ground crew ensemble and protective mask provide adequate protection when performing ABDR operations during training for nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environments. This technical report summarizes our recommended sampling methodology, data interpretation, ventilation requirements, personal protective equipment, and workplace practices for composite material repair.
