RIVERSIDE CEMENT RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA
On September 6 I spoke with George Borg of Riverside Cement about industrial hygiene data being developed at construction sites using Riverside's plastic gun cement. Samples have been taken anu the results are as follows:
Personal Air Samples
Man standing downwind (covered with dust from mixture)
1.8 fibers/cc
Man standing upwind
0.7 fibers/cc
Area Samples (10 feet away)
All ^ 1 fiber/cc
George Borg was encouraged by this data and 6 more dust counts are scheduled to be run at various sites in Fresno and Los Angeles. The data will then be discussed with Cal OSHA to see if they will exempt employees using this product from medical exams and exempt employers from retaining medical records.
George Borg would also like to sit down with a representative of J-M and/or the AIA to discuss plans for amendments to California Senate Bill 2419.
