K. Barnhart are attached. .... Folloving this coohined meeting, there was a brief meeting of the Occu pational Health & Safety Comittee. The following persons were present: L. B. Cyant, M.D. C. L. Sheckler 7. H. Edwards H. Mesler J. Vyverberg PPG Industries Johns -Manville Owens-Coraing Ruberoid Owens-Coming 'K'r:!?'' Mr. Sheckler indicated that the work of the Education Subcommittee was ..i progressing satisfactorily. The aabeatos pamphlet had been prepared and circulated ter cements and/or approval. The fiber glass pamphlet will be.',, available for full committee review early in April. Dr. Grant pointed out that it was hia understanding that both these pamphlets and the Educational Program for the coming year were to be1 reviewed at a meeting of the full- comittee. This was not done with the asbestos pamphlet. Dr. Grant's ex- perience was that the time limitation set for review by the subcommittee had passed before he had had a chance to review the pamphlet. He felt this was unfortunate inasmuch as he would have liked to have seen either a reference to pre-employment and periodic medical examinations of the workers or a specific limitation clearly indicating that the scope of the pamphlet did not include medical control procedures. As the pamphlet is at the present time, it will invite Justified criticism by the medical profession. Hr. Sheckler is of the opinion that comments with reference to medical ex aminations were inappropriate- to include in the pamphlet. This reflects a basic disagreement within the committee which must be resolved at a later meeting of the full committee. Although it was discussed, no action was decided upon to resolve this basic difference of opinion. The fiber glass pamphlet draft prepared by the Education Subcommittee will be reviewed at a committee meeting in New York on April 16, 1968. . ~'Vr! M. Barnhart wished to be advised on how he should handle requests jg to hia for assistance in health related problems. The following general philosophy was agreed upon: He should first direct such requests to the manufacturer of the product in question. However, if no manufacturer can be identified or if the manufacturer of the product specifically re quested NIMA support, ha should direct the request to Dr. Grant, Chairman of the O1 ccupational Health It Safety Committee, for appropriate action.
