INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
ir GENERAL
R o <3 R A M 1971
ft
Lead predominated as a health hazard during the year of
1971 and once again ia one of the more important airborne
health hazards in Abex plants. During this year, three men
were removed from their normal duties involving exposure to
lead in view of excessive lead concentrations discovered in
their blood. This basically means that these individuals
absorbed lead from their working environment either through
airborne concentrations exceeding the Threshold Limit Value
or. and just as importantly, their poor personal hygiene.
The compensation insurance carrier picture for the Abex
program in compensation insurance which also covers our in
dustrial hygiene surveys was very cloudy for the first quarter
of 1971. Due to a consolidation of ICI companies utilizing
the same insurance carrier, we were actually "in limbo"
relative to survey work for the months of January and Feb/
ruary of the year of 1971. On March 1, 1971, The Travelers
took over our compensation insurance coverage. During
organizational meetings, they had promised to cower all
A V
'
facets of the program which had been covered by Ifcba previous
r f. ' carrier. This included performing comprehensiv# industrial
-30-
005414
hygiene surveys in the United States and Canada (to include
Ohio) as had been done by our insurance carrier in past years. *
However, their non-performance in the area of industrial
hygiene surveys prompted a meeting with them in the month of
June at their Hartford, Connecticut office. This meeting was
attended by Or. C. C. Blackwell, Jr., Owen C. Cottle, John J.
Walsh, and Charles H. Borcherding, Jr. At this meeting it
was decided, after much discussion, to name three representative
Abex plants and "give us a try". These three plants were
assigned to The Travelers to perform industrial hygiene surveys
in.
The plants assigned to be surveyed during the latter portion
of the year of 1971 were the Columbus, Ohio Plant - Denison
Division, Minneapolis, Minnesota - RPG Division, and Mahwah,
Hew Jersey - EPD. These plants were to be surveyed by The
Travelers chemical specialists and not their field safety
representative. Zt was decided that after these three surveys
were completed by their chemical specialists, they would be
evaluated by Abex and another meeting held in order to decide
what action will be taken relative to industrial hygiene
surveys in the Abex Corporation to be performed by The Travelers A
in the future.
:
These surveys were completed and evaluated by the Abex
Corporation personnel prior to the end of the year of 1971.
31-
005415
These surveys were technically inadequate and not comprehensive
in nature. In other words* they basically did not measure up
to standards set by our previous carrier and note those performed
by our own Abex industrial hygiene group. This matter will be
discussed with The Travelers personnel during the meeting in
the first quarter of 1972.
It is obvious without the assistance of our compensation
insurance carrier in the field of accomplishing industrial
hygiene surveys, there will be fewer made during the three
year policy period. With the tremendous emphasis and pressure
being brought to bear by the Occupational Safety and Health
Act administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, this could
be a big problem to the entire Abex Corporation. It is ob
vious that we must attempt to keep plants knowledgeable in
their lack of compliance with O.S.H.A. regulations. In
formation relative to O.S.H.A. regulations is being dis
seminated to all plants and division headquarters. And it
behooves each plant and divisional headquartersto review
the aiaterial and act upon them as rapidly as is possible.
However, there are stany areas primarily in the field of health
hazards where the plant actually cannot be knowledgeable
*
*r * .
i
without the problem areas being pointed out to them. Zt is
in this area that the industrial hygiene and lots prevention ' ic... . .
personnel plant visitations become most important.
-32
005416
Zn August of the year of 1971* the old Loss Prevention and Industrial Hygiene Groups were organized into one group to be called Industrial Hygiene/Loss Prevention. This re organization was taken in order to improve administrative areas of mutual interest and to better coordinate plant visitation.
33
005417
MAJOR PROBLEM AREAS
During the year of 1971, the major problem areas of the
Abex Corporation in the Industrial Hygiene field are primarily
those as reported in previous years with one addition.. These
aajor industrial hygiene problem areas aret lead, noise,
silica, lack of adequate maintenance of ventilation, the
addition of asbestos, and last, but not least, employee edu
cation relative to health hazards with which they work. These
of course, are all areas in which the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration of the Department of Labor are deeply
interested.
It should be noted that two Abex plants were visited by
O.S.H.A. Compliance Officers during the year of 1971. The
first visitation was on a routine basis and occurred in the
EPD - Mahwah plant. Action coordinated by this office was
taken by the plant with such speed and at a time when O.S.H.A.
was somewhat yet disorganized, resulted in the fact that no
penalties were assessed. However, in this case, all vio-
./ lations noted were basically of a rather minor nature. The
second O.S.H.A. visitation was in the SPD-Elyria, Ohio plant
and resulted from an employee complaint. The O.f .H.A. Com-
pliance Officer was not an Industrial Hygienist and could not
i *-
resolve the complaint (and this complaint was net resolved by
O.S.H.A. even by the end of the year). While the O.S.H.A.
34
0054 IS
Compliance Officer was on site* he did however, make a
complete plant tour, which they normally do. Several com
paratively minor violations were noted and in this case, the
penalty letter amounting to $60.00 was received along with
the citation. Xn both the above cases, the violations were
cleared up to the satisfaction of the O.S.H.A. Compliance
Officer.
A third occurrence, a fatality, in the RPG - Superior,
Wisconsin plant, late in December will undoubtedly be visited
by O.S.H.A. Compliance Officers. However, by the end of 1971,
this had not yet transpired. However, it is anticipated that
this fatality which occurred during the fall of a crane to
the ground in the scrap yard of this plant will result in a
"serious violation".
Although the Swift Electro-Protective System described
in last year's annual report anticipated to be attempted in
the St. Louis-Amsco Plant for waste water clarification was
attempted, it did not operate as promised. Our Industrial
Hygiene laboratory, has however, done additional work and feel
that we can adapt the Swift Electro-Protective tank to an
d
adequate floculation-sedimentation system which %will allow
.
the utilization of equipment onsite to do the proper and
*
i
.
*
adequate waterclarification job toallowcomplete recycling
of the water in that location.

Lead , Lead problems continue to predominate in certain epecific -r plants. During the year of 1971, three individuals vere re moved from their work involving exposure to lead. Two in RPG Plants, one in the Portsmouth, Virginia Bearing Plant, the other in the St. Paul Bearing Plant while the third in dividual was in an EPD Plant in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Prom our experience it appears the individual in St. Paul and the one in Portsmouth were both exposed to lead by their poor personal hygiene habits. The individual in the Mead ville Plant was exposed to airborne lead.
Increasing accent is being placed upon silica dust ex posures by C.S.B.A. Our experience indicated that increased exhaust ventilation coupled with adequate make-up air and proper work methods, all play a part in the exposure of the worker in silica dust. The methods of evaluating silica dust exposures are changing very rapidly. The method utilized by our labor story and field people in past years has been collection by midget impinger sampler and aunting by light-
field microscopy. However, this method is being phased out and the method will, in the very near future, and is tentatively now, that which is called gravimetric sampling." This is a method of sampling thereby a small filter unit is placed on
36
005420
the worker's lapel for several hours, after which the filter
is returned to the laboratory and weighed on a micro-balance
ft
.. '
'
thereby determining the precise weight of material 'Vhlch the
man would have breathe during an eight-hour projected work day.
This method of sampling is being utilized by this laboratory
as well as impinger sampling.
Asbestos
The exposure to asbestos is another health hazard which
will be dealt with strongly by O.S.H.A. during the coming year.
There are four (4) Abex plants which utilize asbestost Mahwah,
Hew Jersey - RPG, Chicago "C" Plant - RPG, Lindsay, Ontario,
Canada - American Brakeblok, and the Winchester-Brakeblok Plant.
There is now developed a specific method for sampling asbestos.
This method deals with the evaluation of asbestos by fiber
count and evaluation by the phase contrast microscopy method.
This laboratory at this moment does not possess a phase con
trast microscope, however, we are investigating which is the
proper and adequate microscope to purchase. All other sampling
equipment for the new asbestos method is on hand. However, it
ihould be noted that no Abex plant has been sampled by Abex
personnel by the new fiber count method.
g
s- . / The only Abex plant which has been partially surveyed has
i been done by the United States Public Health Service at the
Winchester-Brakeblok Plant in conjunction with a life-time
005421
study of employees. This plant is cooperating along with other
companies in a life-time study of individuals exposed to as-
bestOB in the Friction Products, in Building Products, and other
products such as textiles.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE LABORATORY
The Abex Induetrial Hygiene Laboratory functioned at an
accelerated rate during the year of 1971. This vaa primarily
because Mahmoud Desouky, Laboratory Technician* baa gained
much knowledge and experience in the micro-analysis required
for Industrial Hygiene work. His primary task is the lead
analysis of urine and blood specimens returned to this office
from the lead operating plants throught the system. During
the year of 1971# he has additionally learned hew to analyse
various samples returned to the laboratory for airborne con
centrations of such things as iron oxide, lead, manganese,
zinc, cadmium, etc.
Those persons on the Industrial Hygiene staff who are
capable of chemical laboratory analytical procedures are per
forming their own analysis when they return from plant
visitations. This yields the Industrial Hygienist involved
in a particular study in a much more meaningful manner, in that
he sampled and analyzed the samples as well as evaluated the
-/ work environment relative to the samples which he has taken.
This procedure will be continued to be followed so long as
there are field personnel on the staff who can analyze their
own samples.

LOSS PREVENTION
Costs involved in maintaining a safe place-to work as required under the Occupational Safety and Beal fit Act will
y
add to operating costs at every Abex facility during 1972. This is not to say that loss prevention had been neglected in the past, however, under voluntary participation certain standards have been given minimal consideration and some which did not appear to offer tangible benefits were not put into practice.
Under O.S.H.A., strict adherence to the established standards is now required. Abex has the responsibility of getting operations into compliance with the least possible delay. The alternate is, wait for an O.S.H.A. inspection, absorb the penalties assessed for non-compliance, and take acceptable corrective action within an extremely tight dead line, all of which will add to the cost of the required corrections.
All plants are receiving regular bulletins from this
/
office outlining specific O.S.H.A. requirements as they apply to operations, together with information on methods of correction and source of material required. It will be almost impossible to get any Abex or any other production facility into complete compliance. Many standards ars not clearly defined. However, compliance with the obvious re-
-49-
005424
quirements and an operational and effective health and safety
program have been recognized as a demonstration of good faith.
. *fc; . *i . Where these facts have been established, the inspectors have
been cooperative.
^
Certainly, compliance with some of the in-plant working environmental conditions is going to take more time, more engineering, and more money than is available at the plant level. For this reason, each Division should make a detailed study of each plant's requirements under O.S.H.A. and to establish a realistic timetable for compliance. Here again, recognition of the deficiency, together with a program and timetable for corrective action, will minimize the possibility of penalty and a crash program for correction, together with the added costs of such a program.
Operating plants will also be faced with higher benefits and awards under Workmen's Compensation. They will be subject to more inspections and reporting requirements from O.S.H.A. and State Agencies.
/
There retsains a considerable variance in loss prevention control within Divisions which results, to a large degree, from a lack of demonstrated concern for the functions on the
part of Division Management. This is not to say that the
interest and concern is lacking, but rather, because It is not given the day to day emphasis and follow-up which is given
41-
005425
to the more tangible control areas auch as discount# overtime#
quality# and quantity of product produced.
.,
. During 1972# more emphasis will be given to the total
loss prevention concept under which investigation for corrective
action is not limited to only accidents which produce injury,
but rather that any unintended or unplanned occurrence which
may or may not result in equipment or product damage, in
terrupts production under such circumstances which an injury
could have resulted# will be investigated thoroughly for all
cause factors in order to develop corrective action which
will preclude a recurrence. It is intended to also develop
an effective follow-up program on the corrections required
in the case of these "occurrences".

Q05426
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION In 1971, for the period December 31, 1970 %o March 1, 1971, tf .
Abex Corporation'o Workmen's Compensation carrier was Liberty . t. Mutual Insurance Company. During the first two months, accord ing to Liberty's Estimate of Loss Summary (valued as of April 1, 1971) the total number of cases reported is given as one hundred fifty-nine (159) with a total loss incurred estimate of $64,354. This figure includes all categories of compensation claims.
As of March 1, 1971, The Travelers Insurance Company has provided the Workmen's Compensation coverage. Because of differences in operating methods, claims handling procedures, and loss reserving systems, the monthly Loss Exhibit produced by Travelers does not readily provide loss figures which permit us to calculate our losses for 1971, at this time. These loss figures should be available sometime in July, 1972.
There were two (2) fatalities which occurred in 1971. The approximate claim costs for these cases is $55,000. With the exception of these cases, the year 1971 compares favor ably with our7experience for 1970.
There will be an overall increase in Workmen's Compen sation cost for 1972. During 1971, many of the compensation lavs have been revised. Not only have there been increases in amounts of compensation benefits payable, but also liberali sation in interpretation of existing laws. The enactments made in 1971 for the most part become effective during 1972.
-43-
005427
ffiRggsm Airlog the year 1971, personnel changes again constituted
a major problem in the Industrial Hygiene section and slowed
the progress o our program. The poisition vacated by Borman
Msrczak in January of 1970 was not actually filled until July
of 1971 by Fred T. 6sum.
Fred L. 8tanley resigned his position as Industrial
Hygienist effective Decenber 14, 1971 to take a similar position
with the Federal Government.
Several persons filled the position of secretary to the
Industrial Hygiene Section until June, 1971 when Mrs. Sleanor
Jaskunas joined the section. Since that time, she has been
of invaluable assistance.
In August of this year, the Loss Prevention and Compensa
tion operations were combined with the Industrial Hygiene
group to facilitate administration and coordinate plant visi
tation.
At the close of the year 1971, the Industrial Hygiene/Loss
Prevention staff consisted of*
C. H. Borcberding, Jr. - Mgr. Ind. Byg./Loss Prevention
Mrs. Eleanor Jaskunas - Secretary
L. ft. Bartin
- Loss Prevention Bupervlsox
F. I. Scum
- Industrial Hygiene Associate

00542S
1972 IN PROSPECT
Although a replacement for Fred L. Stanleytia in view,
t;.v '
the Industrial Hygiene-Loss Prevention staff will still be *
quite inadequate to cover this company's problems in this
area for this coming year. If the help and assistance which
the Abex Corporation has received from The Travelers in the
field of Industrial Hygiene during the last three/quarters
of 1971 are indicative of what we will receive in the future,
it is apparent that we cannot depend upon them in this area.
This fact will only increase our problems in the coming year,
that is, if we cannot depend upon them for help and assis
tance in the field of Industrial Hygiene that we have enjoyed
in the past from our insurance carrier. Assistance re
quired by divisions as well as Facilities Engineering in the
fields of both air and water pollution are increasing. If
these continue to increase, or even continue at the present
rate, the load is great.
It is very apparent, with the flurry of activity seen
/
this past yeafr by the Federal Government, U. 6. Department of
Labor, that the year of 1972 will be much more active. Only
plant visitation, plant contact in general on opr part, will
be the best method of keeping plants current on O.S.H.A. areas
"
of interest. As the individual States take over the lfws and
-45-
005429
responsibilities of O.S.H.A., this activity will only Increase.
' All plants Must be Made aware of and act upon tbs concept that
t* cocpliance with O.S.H.A. regulations are Mandatory and not
voluntary in any Manner. It is fully realized that funds for
plant corrections required are probably not sufficient for the task at hand. However, the Most obvious items must be attended to and the most expensive items Must be programmed. If this approach is not utilised, our plants will - when visited by 0.6.H.A, Compliance Officers - be charged sums of monies in the form of penalties as well as still increasing the costs to complete the correction. The costs may be greater due to
the time element placed upon a plant when a citation has been
given them. This time element may not allow for adequate en gineering time or adequate time to obtain the best purchase price on items.
