MOORE & CO. ENGINEERS: Defendants as Reflected on Exhibit I attached to the Summary Complaint herein; and DOES 1-8500. eee PROPOUNDING PARTY: Defendant PERINI CORPORATION (“PERINI”) ESPONDING PARTY: Plaintiff ROBERT ROSS SET NUMBER: ONE (1) RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 1: Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that itis vague and ambiguous, particularly with regard to the use of defined terms including, but not limited to, “EXPOSED,” “EXPOSURE,” and “YOU.” Plaintiff further objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague and ambiguous, particularly with regard to the use of undefined terms and phrases including, but not limited to, “while present at any location,” “each and every location,” “claim,” and “products.” Plaintiff objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is compound and conjunctive in violation of Code of Civil rocedure (“C.C.P.”) § 2030.060. Plaintiff further objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it calls for expert opinions and conclusions and therefore prematurely seeks disclosure of information which is properly the subject of expert witness testimony and/or reports in violation of C.C.P, § 2034.210 et seq. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it seeks information protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine. Plaintiff reserves, and in hereby responding does not rely upon or incorporate, information subject to all privileges, including but not limited to attorney-work product and. attorney client privileges, and objections, including but not limited to relevancy at trial and burden. Subject to and without waiving said objections, plaintiff responds as follows: K Slujured!19349'pldROG-rsp-PERCOR-amd.wpd 1 dxiCem BRD A Bw NY 10 At the below-described jobsites, plaintiff was exposed to asbestos by working in close proximity to trades employed by PERINI who were handling and disturbing asbestos-containing products. Plaintiff breathed the air and dust that had been generated by the handling and disturbance of these asbestos-containing products. Defendant failed to exercise due/ordinary care in order to avoid injuring plaintiff while plaintiff worked near defendant’s employees at facilities listed below. Defendant did not isolate work involving asbestos and asbestos- containing products. Defendant did not maintain the premises so as to prevent exposure to asbestos, a hazardous substance. Defendant did not control, reduce or eliminate dust or provide adequate ventilation. Defendant did not provide plaintiff with respiratory safety equipment or educate plaintiff regarding the use of respiratory safety equipment. Further, defendant controlled the work site by coordinating, managing and overseeing the installation and removal of asbestos and asbestos-containing products to which plaintiff was exposed. Defendant contracted for the installation and/or removal and otherwise caused asbestos-containing products to be present on the below listed premises and recommended, specified, and executed the use of asbestos-containing products being used at defendant’s premises listed below and plaintiff consequently developed an asbestos-related injury. As a proximate result of defendant's breach of due/ordinary care, plaintiff sustamed injury. Plaintiff cannot currently be more specific as to precise date(s) on which plaintiff was at the following locations and under the following circumstances: Plaintiff testified that PERINI was a contractor at several of his job sites, including but not limited to the following sites. Plaintiff was an Insulator for 35 years and knew that the products he used contained asbestos. Plaintiff testified that he saw the word “asbestos” on the boxes of materials he used. Therefore, plaintiff knows that PERINI employees swept up asbestos-containing materials around him which he inhaled due to their work. Plaintiff testified that he worked at Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco, California for about one week during 1966-1972 for Consolidated Insulation, 517-D Marine View Ave. Belmont, California. Plaintiff worked on both a new construction and remodel project where he was an insulator. Plaintiff testified that he used JM (Johns-Manville) magnesium and mud. Plaintiff also testified that he used cal-sil (calcium-silicate). Plaintiff testified that he worked around three or four PERINI employees. Two were laborers, one was a superintendent, and one was a carpenter. Plaintiff testified that the laborers used shovels and brooms to sweep up plaintiff's asbestos-containing debris and also gaskets that had been used on steam. Plaintiff worked within three to twenty feet from the PERINI employees who were sweeping up. He knew they were PERINI employees from their hardhats that said “PERINI.” Plaintiff had also testified in Robert Ross v Asbestos Defendants (BP) San Francisco Superior Court No. 274099 that the PERINI laborers at Ghirardelli Square had also swept up fireproofing within three to twenty feet from plaintiff. Plaintiff testified that he worked at the San Francisco International Airport during 1965 and 1966 for a week and a half for AC&S Insulation, P.O. Box 1268, Lancaster, Penns Fania, Plaintiff worked there as in insulator on both new and old construction. Plaintiff testified that he used KAYLO all-purpose mud, asbestos-containing cal-sil and mud at this site. Plaintiff testified that PERINI laborers used brooms and shovels to sweep up the debris from the fleor that included the materials that plaintiff used. The PERINI laborers worked within three to twenty five feet from plaintiff. Plaintiff testified that he knew they were PERINI employees from their hard hats. Plaintiff testified that he worked at the Golden Gateway apartments in San Francisco, California where he worked on the new construction of the apartments for approximately thirty days. Plaintiff insulated pipe and duct. Plaintiff testified that PERINI laborers swept up mud, MONOKOTE fireproofing, GARLOCK gaskets and worked within two to fifteen feet from him. Plaintiff knew they were PERINI employees from their hard hats and toolboxes. Plaintiff had also testified in Robert Ross v Asbestos Defendants (BP) San Francisco Superior Court No. 274099 that drywallers used HAMILTON mud at the Golden Gateway apartments and that he had applied KAYLO. Therefore, PERINI laborers would have also swept up drywall materials and KAYLO mud around plaintiff at this site. K Slujured!19349'pldROG-rsp-PERCOR-amd.wpd 2 dxiCem BRD A Bw NY 10 Robert Cantley had also testified in Robert Ross v Asbestos Defendants (BP) San Francisco Superior Court No. 274099 that the MONOKOTE fireproofing used at the Golden Gateway apartments came in bags bearing the words “contains asbestos.” Mr. Cantley testified that KAISER GYPSUM, PACO and HAMILTON products were contained in the removed walls and PERINI laborers disturbed fireproofing near plaintiff on numerous occasions. Mr. Cantley testified that PERINT laborers swept up asbestos-containing wallboard finishing products, insulation debris including pipecovering and cement scraps, and fireproofing near plaintiff on a twice daily basis. Plaintiff testified that he worked at Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California during 1978-1979 for about forty-five days for Consolidated Insulation, 517-D Marine View Ave., Belmont, California. Plaintiff worked on both new construction and remodel work on piping in many areas of this job site. Plaintiff testified that he used cal-sil and all purpose mud. Plaintiff testified that there were numerous PERINI employees at this job site and the PERINI laborers swept up the GARLOCK gaskets, insulation, and cal-sil from the floor in his work area. Plaintiff knew they were PERINI employees from their hard hats, tool boxes, and trucks. Plaintiffs experts in similar cases have provided depositions, declarations and/or trial testimony, that the insulation, fireproofing, and gasket materials described and associated with applications similar to that with which plaintiff was exposed to by this defendant, and to which plaintiff was exposed as described above, during the relevant time period, contained asbestos, and as a consequence plaintiff inhaled the asbestos-laden air. Plaintiff was exposed to asbestos-containing products that were disturbed by PERINL As stated in Cabral v. Ralph’s Grocery Co, (2011) 51 Cal. 4th 764, 768, “California law establishes the general duty of each person to exercise, in his or her activities, reasonable care for the safety of others. (Civ. Code, § 1714, subd. (a).).”. Defendant owed plaintiffa general duty of care, which was breached because defendant knew or should have known of the dangers of asbestos and failed to prevent plaintiff from inhaling asbestos fibers. Defendant knew that asbestos-containing products such as those supplied to plaintiff's employers or contractors at plaintiffs jobsite would be handled, disturbed and manipulated by workers, resulting in the release of airborne asbestos fibers, and that through such foreseeable use and/or handling, plaintiff would be exposed to such asbestos fibers. As a proximate result of defendant’s breach of its duties, plaintiff sustained injury. Plaintiff bases his contention that he was exposed to asbestos attributable to defendant in part upon the following facts and documents. These facts and documents support the contention that the joint compound and drywall accessory products to which he was exposed were more likely than not asbestos-containing. They are also indicative of the state of the art regarding the knowledge of the hazards of asbestos, which is relevant to plaintiff's negligence and failure to warn claims. Plaintiff identifies a 2010 article by the Collegium Ramazzini in Bologna, Italy titled “Commentary: Asbestos is Still With US: Repeat Call.” Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 7, D57-D61. This article begins by stating “All forms of asbestos are Known human carcinogens.” (Emphasis added.) It says, “No exposure to asbestos is without risk, and there is no safe threshold of exposure to asbestos.” Plaintiff believes defendant is in possession of or has equal access to these documents. Prior to the mid-1970s, joint compound, as it was used in residential and commercial construction, nearly universally contained asbestos, typically in the range of 5-10 percent. The first U.S. patent for an asbestos-free joint compound was filed on July 26, 1973 and awarded on June 24, 1975. It remained the case that joint compound products contained asbestos until such asbestos use was banned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, effective in 1978 under 16 CFR ch If, § 1304.4, which states, “On the basis that airborne asbestos fibers present the hazards of cancer, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, to the public, consumer patching compounds containing intentionally-added, respirable, free-form asbestos, which have been manufactured or initially introduced into commerce after January 16, 1978, are banned hazardous products.” Plaintiff believes defendant is in possession of or has equal access to these documents.

As a result of this action most manufacturers removed the commercially added asbestos from their products in accordance with the new regulation. it seems likely that remaining stocks of asbestos-containing joint compound would have been used up in the ensuing months or year. In commercial construction, once the drywall is hung the joints between the boards are taped with paper and then reinforced with joint compound. Joint compound originally came in dry form an
