V Calidda old ridgebury road danbury. Connecticut O6817 CORPORATION September 19, 1964 Mr. John Miles Director of Field Coordination U.S. Occupational Safety Health Administration Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20210 Dear Mr. Miles: Calidria Corporation (formerly Union Carbide Corporation, Metals Division) has mined and milled chrysotile asbestos fiber in San Benito County of California since 1963. A warning label has been used on our product bags since 1968. The original label was modified slightly to conform to OSHA 1910.1001 when the regulation was promulgated. We believe that the asbestos health hazard information that has emerged in the last few years as well as the need to move into compli ance with the new OSHA Hazard Communication Regulations Part 1910.1200 (i.e. providing "appropriate hazard warnings" on the product label), make it imperative to move promptly to update our asbestos label. This is to let you know that we plan to begin using the attached label and request that you inform us within 30 days if you have any objections. Very truly yours, CALIDRIA CORPORATION 'hj, a W. C.
