Robert O. Goans. A04183 REPORT OF SPECIAL MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Purpose of the Examination:
. .
To determine Mr, Goans' present physical condition with special reference to his
. reported pneumoconiosis attributed to exposure while doing insulation work over a peric
of 43 or 44 years,
*
The patient states that he has worked as an insulator since a young man, less than 18 ye
of age, during the period of World War I. He says that over these years he has used
many different kinds of insulating materials particular asbestos and corrugated paper
during early years and during the last four years or so has been concerned mainly with
fiberglass insulation. He says that he has worked in all kinds of construction including
ships and public buildings. Usually the work has involved the insulation of pipes and
boilers rather than w alls. Frequently the work involved insulation of both hot and cold
air duct lines. He says that frequently there was dust and sometimes he was required t
work in relatively closed poorly ventilated spaces.
*
He considered him self to be'well and had no complaints until recently. He says that abc three or four years ago his union made arrangements to have members take x-rays once a year at the Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California. He believes that his first x-ray w made about three years aga and that he had never had an x-ray of the chest made before He was told at that time that there was evidence of some dust in his lungs, at first only "on the bottom of the lungs" but in more recent years that this was worsening and that it involved not only "the bottom" but also "the top of the lungs". When informed that there was progressive disease he went to see a physician in San Francisco, Doctor Walter Kolman (3490 - 20th Street). Doctor Kolman confirmed the diagnosis and advised Mr. Goans to discontinue his work and to apply for disability benefits. The patient states that he has been eager to continue working if possible until the usual retirement age of 65 years but, of course, he is not willing to run any risk of serious pulmonary difficulty. He says that it is not possible to escape all exposure to dust in hi! occupation, and that he would not be able to find a job in this industry that does not involv dust exposure*

A hearing on the amended Application of Robert 0. Goans is scheduled before the California Industrial Accident Commission on September 16, 1963# ia Rocaa 3000 of the State Building, 1111 Jackson Street, Oakland, at 9 Both Armstrong ani Armstrong Contracting and Supply Corporation are named in the Application.
Mr. Goans vas employed by Armstrong Cork Company for a period prior to Inarch 31, 19 5 5 , from June 21, 1955 to November 2, 1955# and from October 21, 1957 to November 22, 1957- We say "for a period of time" prior to March 31, 1955 "because ve are unable to determine just how long due to the records being destroyed in accordance with our established retention of records schedule.

Mr. Goans was in the employ of our subsidiary, Armstrong Contracting and Supply Corporation from October 1, 1958# to December 23, 1958.
Please forward this amended Application for Workmen's Compensation Claim to the proper office of The Travelers for- handling and protection of our interests.

In e preliminary discussion, Mr. Smith indicated thot there ran erriov
ment with Western Asbestos lor the period 1520 to 19 57. during which *
West-era Asbestos vrns the sole employer. There are no reco^ds^by *
Western prior to 1546 as to employment, hr, Pilippi tentative* v rill
stipulate to coverage ky Pacific jbraployers Insurance Company for th^
period November 1, .'-925, to November 1., 1932. The perioo of 1920 to 15 2 5 had not been eaecked, since it was not alleged in the application
Mr. McMillan will otipivUfce to coverage of Western by the btate i?und *'
from Ncvembar 1., l''32>,to dat-?,, There in no information re^e.rdins-*
employment prior to -94o,

through Ju'W
^963 However Industrial Indemnity Exchange insured'
Mundet r--ember 31, 1943.- to 1944. according to Mr. Smiths so the '
C.I,p J * records are apparently erroneous. In any event there is
.r.-oyment claimed during that time during 1943 to 1944.
As to Plant Rubber & Asbestos Work3 . Pacific Eu-^xoyers vril tentative
ly stipulate from October 1, 1940. to October
f W coverage. "
As to Plant Asbestos Company., pacific Employers will tentatively stio-
ulate to coverage from May 18. IQ 38. to January 1, 1952,, Csountria*'
Indemnity Company will definitely stipulate to coverage
~
1952, to January 1. 19 6 2 . It has no information regarding eir..>oy^v,t.
As to Army Port Contractors.' Associated Indemnity Corp.j has no
nation of coverage of that employer. Ilr, Schwab indicated that
"
Fireman's Fund Insurance Company was unaware of A m y Port Contractors
as having been allegedly insured and this will be checked.
Mr. Schwab stated that California Casualty Indemnity Exchange will definitely stipulate to coverage of C. F,, Braun & Company* September 21. 1936,* to December I, 1941. and to- coverage of Harry A. Button. a--u fatten Asbestos Company, November 1., 195?-.. to November i, 1958.
Zurich General Accident had one-half cay coverage in 1937 and was ensniDsefi* ae was Employers Mutual liability Insurance Company-of Nisoc-w in
-kni of the parties stated they had not- bad sufficient time as yet 'c cheek records regarding coverage and employment in. view of the ir.cc'o-plo-te pleadings regarding dates and places c*f employment, Hr. Srit* indicated tout he will go through the entire work history wit^ tie applicant j o day and t-hen send the inform:'fion to' -the parties, V h c a:,a then to advise in wri'eing regarding stipulation:; as tc coverage- and employment. Preliminary settlement n;potion is unhsr way.
Apparently the lien claim for U.C.D. Benefits is an connection with an eye condition which is no part of this action.
