L. McCully, Safety, Director of the TTestinghouse Air Brake Company, and the Pittsburgh Office of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry members of the personnel of the . ;. ' . Bureau of Industrial Hygiene made a survey of tho dust conditions surrounding a particular operation in the TTilmerding plant of the TTestinghouse Air Brake Company ` on November 15, 1943. . . . ; ' ; - , / . \. This operation consists of finishing a small cast iron part in a lathe. The parts are cleaned before the operation takes place. Tho lathe operates auto m a t i c a l l y for the m o s t part, since all tha t is required o f the operator is to change the pieces in the chuck. Consequently, the operator is bent over the cutting area only a part of the time and then only to change.the piece. . During fV- .-.-..I n n . r o H n n h* M * standing back from the machine. ' . .* ,;> yt } >.Sk:-;`1.JKTvyjf- ,;*'v '*; Air samples were taken in the breathing area of the operator, the impinger being held and moved as the operator moved. Samples for dust counting were taken with tho Greenberg-Smith impinger using 95 per cent alcohol as the collecting medium. Dust counts were made em ploying tho light field technique. Particle size measurements were not made as the particles were assumed to be of respirable size. This assumption is believed to be reasonable since the dust in the sampling area w a s air borne, t h e - larger par- t i d e s h a ving settled out before it r eached this aroa. No chemical ,or-petrogra p h i c analysis of the air borne dust was deemed necessary since it is believed to be . practically all iron or iron oxide. ` ' Three samples were taken at this operation and averaged 12.6 million partiles por cubic foot o f air as indicated b y Table 1. Tilth consideration b e i n g made for the type of dust involved, it is felt t hat these counts are not excessive, and no r e c ommendations for improvements are indicated s.t p resent Sample number p.^OWTrALra OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTHENT OP HEALTH BUREAU OF INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE DETERIORATION OF DUST CONCENTRATIONS DEPARTMENT C, CAST IRON CUT ON LATHE TTestinchouB Airbrake Company TTilmerding, Pennsylvania Vol. air campled (cu.ft.)

Box 47* Irwin, Pennsylvania On Juno 9, 1959, & visit was made to this plant for the purpose of introduction to our service. This plant manufactures the tape which is used to wrap the coils on generators. Plant population vhich was formerly around 500 has now dropped to 162 workers The health service consists of a nurse's office and large treatment room. The facility is adequate for the small number now employed Mr. Frank Steinle, Industrial Relations Supervisor, was very gracious and dis cussed at length some of the labor problems which he encounters. He feels that the trend toward automation has caused much anxiety on the part of the employees and that they are unduly alarmed since the progress toward automation proceeds very slowly. He stated that in Westinghouse Corporation, automation is chiefly confined to the new plants. This does not displace wcrkers already employed. He believes that their em ployees still view with suspicion much of management's efforts to provide good health Mrs. Jane Sloan, plant nurse, has been employed for 9 years, Drs. Koosei and Gross are the physicians-on-call. They do not visit the plant. Employees are sent to their office for pre-employment physical examinations. Mrs. Sloan operates under med ical directives signed by Dr. Frank Gray at the East Pittsburgh plant. Mrs. Sloan does not belong to any professional organization and has become some' what isolated from professional contacts. She does not know the nurses in the two Westinghouse plants in the same vicinity M 7 3 2 11.4 1 7 0 lO N W t ALTH O F P EN N SYLV A N IA D EPARTM EN T O F HEALTH OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 1.ESTABLISHMENT -NAME.

Smoke-fume 600 velding fume 80 B-plant, C-aisle pending investigation R-9-3-71 make-up air 12-15-71 Mr. Porto called concerning the following: Smoke and fumes are escaping from the adjoining forge shop into the blade shop (where he works). Ke has put in two grievances but no action has been taken by the company. Mr. Porto was asked to submit compaoint in writing. Due to previous contact with plant concernin this area investigation will be scheduled before receiving written complaint. 12-22-71- Visited plant Talked with Mr. Whittington who said plant was only working mne-half day because of Christmas holiday. Porto not working during visit. Only one hammer was working in forge shop. At this time the forge shop did not appear to present any problem. The forge shop has 5 furnances (gas) with thermal exhausts, 6 forge hammers and a Salt bath 61850. The shop is scheduled to be phased out by the end of 1973. It seems that the problem is as follows: The building would be comparable to a split level with the forge shop the single level and the blade shop and another machining area on the double area. OVER Reprodu Leo Carey .W IN S . A.O -r. ''V> MR mup Westinghouse E lectric Corporation 12-15-71, 12-22-71,1-^-72 I t seems that this other machine shop which is above tne blade shop is serviced by v en tilation system with a large capacity. This creates a negative pressure in the rest c f the building. Air flow is from the forge shop thru the blade shop to the 2nd floo r machine shpp. In e ffe c t th is brings any contaminants generated in forge shop into blade shop thu3 the complaint. Since forge shop was not in f u l l operation another v i s i t w ill be necessary. 1-4-72 ,".,v .*' ,. 4-.-. I.H . revisited plant to speak with Hr. Porto and get more information on the complaint. Also recieved a written petition-type complaint concerning th is area (copy attached). Porto complained o f gas and smoke in the blade shop coming form the forge shop. He said he and others have experienced watery eyes and severe headaches. He also noted that manufactured t o l l s l e f t in the area become coated. There are tow furnaces in the area (gas-fired) and these along with a <Radiac" saving operation contributes to the bpoblem. According to the union they have repeatedly file d grievances to no a v a il. Also mentioned by Porto was the fa c t that the employees in the forge shop i t s e l f had file d complainst. Other areas which contribute to the problem include a welder (day sh ift) with no ventilation and pickle tanks using HC1, HjSO^, HNO^.(145-160) Smoke is generated in the forge shop when hammers h it blade. There is a buildup o f smoke in the area and th is passes into the blade shop. The company plans to in s t a ll additional general dilutio n ventilation .and tig h t swinging doors between the forge and blade shop. Without the benefit o f a l l information on the capacity o f the ven tilatio n systems in the building to be submitted at la te r date by company I.H . fe e ls problem is due to negative pressure (lack of make-up a ir ) , and/or in s u ffic ie n t general d ilu tio n v en tilation in the forge area. At th is time appropriate reocmmendations w ill be made (make-up a ir , additional GDVetc), and surveys may be conducted at the hammers for smoke and in the entire area for CO. The union has requested a copy of any report to the company. ''** jv 1? Also questioned Whittington about status o f recommendation of 9/3/71 concerning make-up a ir being supplied to the B-plant, C -aisle welding area. He said that bids were being received at th is time for the engineering aspects of the system. ' . <?<::. . - . . V . 1-13-72 !* I'1 Received additional information (copy attached) requested from the company concerning dimensions of areas in question and capacities of v en tilation systems serving these areas. Further information regarding make-up a ir to these areas s t i l l needed for complete evaluation. Company w ill be contacted for th is information.

Cutting oil used Include products from Texaco, Sun Oil, Sinclair, Atlantic, Mobil. A bacteria count on a special Vantroi soup mix revealed 3 million organisms per cc of oil. Degreasing done by spraying or brushing Alk-Trl (The Dow Chemical Company) Mineral Spirits or trichloroethylene on these large Items and let It evaporate. Employees are supplied w ith BM approved respirators, gloves, and other protective clothing. Chemical Cathrldge: Airlines BM #1926 BM#2301 Salt bath furnaces contain Houghton heat treating salt "Liquid Heat ND". Classification on these baths are given on a spearate sheet. Gas fired lead pots for heat treating of tools are equipped with either canopy type hoods or w ith a coal topping. Employees exposed to lead are given periodic medical examinations. Local exhaust ventilation systems are under the control of Works Engineering which get monthlycheck over. The numerous exhaust ventilation on grinders checked by the Industrial hygienists kept a steady 800 cfm rate. Labeling of containers was not carried out. Solvents were seen In many places in coke bottles, coffee cans, glasses, etc. An organized program of labeling and the use of approved containers will be carried out in the near future. Balaconles: Under the direction of Works Engineering. Painting on smaller objects are done In spray booth, larger objects are painted on the work platform. New airless spray painting method developed by Works Engineering eliminate the mist problem. Paints used are all kinds (lacquer, enamel, etc.) from all major paint companies. Solvents toluol, xylol, minerai spirits, globe solvent "1 6 0 9 ". The Apex Alkali Cleaning tank equipped with slot exhaust ventilation -- capacity 400 cfm. Kolane tank heated at 900 F used for surface treating. Controlled by local exhaust. Babbit shop was lead. All pots heated either by gas or electricity are controlled by thermostats at 6 5 0 or 750 F. Thermostats are periodically calibrated. The hot alloy poured centrlfugally. Floor cleaned up at the end of every shift. Survey for lead will be done here In the near future. ERECTING AND TESTINO Large turbine parts are assembled In the Jacket shop and tested. A 94 db general area noise was measured at the time of inspection. Periodic noise measurements were made all through the plant. Noise levels are over the 8 5 db level In about 9 0 # of the plant. This department has conducted a noise survey already at this plant. Company makes noise surveys on her Remarks -12- W E S T I ^ O U S E ELECTRIC CORPORATION OWN, making efforts to establish a good noise control program. Pre-placement and periodic audlometrlc tests are given. Employees engaged in operations which produce noise levels over 105 db.. are equipped with helmets with muffs and build in Intercom system. Fab and Weld Shop B. Building Portable exhaust systems "octopus" available for all welding operations. Wheelabrator uses steel shots. Sound blasting room locally exhausted. Employees equipped with air line respirators. Some soldering done (60-40, 50-50, 95-5) using Handy Flux. Multiple burning tables are equipped with downdraft local exhaust ventilation system. General area noise measured: 92-94-96 db. At the end of the building hand blasting units are located. As a result of a survey conducted previously to evaluate employees' exposure to dust, the whole Fangborn dust collecting system has been moved outside. Mr. Merrls requested a follow-up survey to evaluate the effectiveness of th control measures. At the same location a number of annealing furnaces are located. They are gas heated, temperature range 1200 F- l600 F. Furnaces are rellgned as needed by the company's own raasonary group. Members of this group are Included In the yearly chest X-ray examination program. . .** ft * V. ' LjC .. . , .. . BLADE SHOP: Blades for the turbines are made here.

It is noteworthy that all through the plant "Mobile horshoe pitching stations" are visible where employees can relieve tension. Salt baths similar to those on the separate sheet operating between I6500 F - 2350 F. are enclosed and locally exhausted. The pipe pickling house utilizes sulfuric acid which Is in long tanks or flown through the pipe with the aid of a "garden hose" type hose. The sodium room has large dip tanks for sodium hydride which Is made by breaking down ammonia and bubbling it through btfth containing metallic sodium. Under right conditions the hydrogen forms the sodium hydride with the sodium. The flow of material goes from here to a rinse tank, a 10^ hydrochloric acid dip tank at 160 F, a 10 % solution of nitric acid dip tank, and a 10^ solution of sulfuric acid dip tank with cuprodlne make up powder In It. All tanks are at 160 F. Survey will be made here for mixed acid mist and various gases. SMALL TURBINE DIVISION Operations are identical to those of the large turbine division on a smaller scale.

Flaahtubes have a casing of quartz instead of glass, because of its higher resistance to breakage. Flaahtubes may contain xenon or krypton for pulsed lasors, and l l g , Na, or K in C. W. lasors, 2. UV filters arc somotimos employed between the flashtubo and media for bottor efficiency 3. Solid stato efficiency uxy bo 3^ CO2 lasors may bo 2,0# efficient, /. Tho largest CCu laaor is 190 ft, long with a mountain as a backstop. owned by tho Fodoral Government. This one ia 5. Transits i3 a material usod on nose cones of rockota because of its vory high resistance to heat, i3 used no a backstop for the CO^ laser. 6. Whon titanium or Mg is cut, argon gas is .jotted onto those materials, as they are highly explosive, . 7. A now orbium dopod crystal is being developed as a laser media that would emit a wavclerith of 1,5 microns, This wavelength is loss hazardous for tho eyo, states tho plant cngincor, since the energy is absorbed in the humerjira of the eyo first. 8. This plant tests one of a new supply of goggles bought for uso with a particular laser, Tho beam is passed through tho goggles. If energy i3 transmitted through tho goggles, it is noted on the ballistic thermopile. This data along with spectroscopic measurements determines whether the goggles are returned or not. 350 Nei, PA H (over) ov K, Choby 6 " industrial iiygienist H" WINS. 2.0 Also microwave and radio wavo stimulating mochanisma are used in probing technique and will not be eold to industry as they are more complicated and present more hazards. Noiso problems may exist when a beam is shot at a hard object (in O-switching) the noise is similar to that of a gun .shot .bl.a.st* Coolants may be transistorized in that one-half of the transistor material is cold and the other, hot. bee*'the heat energy goes from cold side to the hot, where it is given off. *.* ,:n ' > .-i . s v -s* .
