PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT >-* 37t~ * 4*1 u SHELL OIL COMPANY (*((?<! to SEE ATTACHED LIST OAit DECEMBER 6, 1977 hoh CORPORATE MEDICAL DIRECTOR sueject MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE UNDER ASBESTOS STANDARD The memo on this subject dated November 13, 197 2 from the Manager - Industrial Hygiene and the Corporate Medical Director recommended exposure levels at which medical surveillance should be instituted. Since that time, recommendations for allowable exposures have been lowered. This fact, along with the recent decision in the GAF case (see attached legal opinion) , leads me to reappraise the former recommendation. On the basis of the legal opinion. Corporate Medical now believes it would be appropriate and prudent to include in the medical surveillance programs all employees in the following categories: 1. All employees whose jobs require them to work regularly with asbestos, or asbestos-containing insulation and other products. This would .include, but not be limited to, employees recognized or assigned as insulators. 2. All other employees who may use or be in contact with asbestos or asbestos-containing materials where the level of exposure can be established as exceeding 0.1 fibers greater than 5 microns in length per cubic centimeter (TWA). When appropriate air monitoring has established which employees are to be included in the medical surveillance program at each location, I would appreciate receiving a list of the names of employees so identified. I would be happy to discuss this further should you have any questions. Attachment R. E. Joyner, M.D. Corporate Medical Director ABS-003103 ADDRESSEES Messrs. P. F. Deisler W. A. Carpenter M. K.
