Studies are presently underway to determine the frequency of angiosarcoma among workers exposed to vinyl chloride. The Federal Government has declared that vinyl chloride is carcinogenic for humans and has issued an Emergency Temporary Standard for Exposure to Vinyl Chloride. (Federal Register 39_ (67), April 5, 1974.) This letter is to advise you that your employees may be exposed to vinyl chloride monomer while performing contract work within the i/w." plant and to inform you of the plant's activities regarding exposure. Exposure levels within the plant are presently being monitored to insure compliance with the Emergency Temporary Standard. Exposure to vinyl chloride monomer has been reduced by work practice and engineering modifications. Where exposure levels exceed 50 ppm, breathing air is available and must be used by employees in accordance with the Standard. Because of the suspected harmful nature of vinyl chloride monomer, Conoco's Medical Division has established medical tests and examinations to be given Conoco employees. These consist of an annual medical examination, radiological examination and pulmonary function test, in addition to a semiannual urinalysis and complete blood work-up. The Occupational Safety and Health Act imposes certain obligations on employers to prevent exposure of their employees to potentially harmful conditions. Should you wish to consider testing of your employees as described above, we could provide you copies of our medical procedures and of the Emergency Temporary Standard. If we can be of assistance in providing help to you on this subject, please contact me. \ Sincerely, Plant Manager ,00*^ c^ .
