Grant. M.D. Medical Director Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co One Gateway Centeirt Pittsburgh. Pennsyylvlvaanniia Dear Lee: Subject: Port After our meeting of July 3 1 met, ats^he earliest opportunity, with Dr. Belding and relayed the materials relative to the potential heat stress situation at this plant. Th ccgommmmi ents by Dr. Belding are enclosed and are self-explanatory, With regard to asbestos exposures\t this plant, it seems to me that the first step should be the assessment of the facility at this point in time. The U.S.P.H.S. surve^g* April, 1967 ar.u results from earlier Foundation surveys,ix^cluding my own (April, 1966), should not be the basis for current recommendations for alteration of facili ties. Earlier findings suggest the areas to be looked at closely and ar_ valuable from thiSS^tandpoint. Therefore, if acceptable""!!!) you. Dr. Belding and I propose that we spend August 27 at the plant. We will drive up on the evening of the 26th, and. can; '*ifiiecess ary, remain over for the 28th. During this period I would\iake measurements of asbestos dust concentrations and also check the present ventilation system. Dr. Belding would also make preLvninajiy measurements. The purpose of this trip would be to obtain a Clear enough view of the situation to propose future * ` - * , design. e during this visit would be $200 per day each plus would be summarized in a resort. As soon as we receive authorization from you, we will proceed with planning for the visit. Sincerely.yours MC:ng Enclosure
