LU ^ Outlined in the following are the results of the air monitoriitg s conducted for asbestos along with a comparison of previous sailing results. The results show that exposure concentration has reig&ined insignificant from both an occupational health and legal viewpoint. As always please retain the results for documentation purposes. The majority of samples are breathing zone samples which is most indicative of employee exposure. It is cautioned tht area samples, because they are not mobile like the employee, are indicative of contamination sources only and not, personal exposure. Overall housekeeping in the asbestos areas was noted to be good. However, the one problem area remains to be the bagging enclosure area of the dust collector. Accumulations of asbestos dust was still noted and it was learned that outside contractor bag house cleaning operators were not equipped with proper personal protective gear. It is extremely important, from liability aspect, that the dust collector area is as free of asbestos accumulations as possible and that dust collector cleaning operators are equipped with proper protective gear.
