J. PERKINS - OLD HICKORY ASBESTOS DUST CONTROL Ref.: Your IO/30/69 Report - Same Subject We have two major areas of concern which we are now formulating programs to re solve - the TLV criteria and discontinuation of "Unibestos". Bob Hayden, of this office, will follow this activity and provide timing in the near future. Jim Morgan of Haskell Laboratory has agreed with your TLV recommendation of 6/12 fibers/ml, etc., etc. This office has no reason to disagree with this position. However, before we adopt this as a new departmental standard, we would like to get Construction Division's concurrence to avoid future disagree ment and discussions. A copy of Morgan's November 25 letter on this subject has been forwarded to Hal Marden, the Construction Safety Superintendent, for comment. Our objective here is to get concurrence of Haskell, Construction Division, and any other department or group which has knowledge in this field, all toward tbe aim of adopting a standard that will be irrefutably used Ccmpanywide The discontinuing of "Unibestos" is also of Company-wide concern. We would like to propose a program under which we first define the cost stake of using this insulation material vs. the most economical substitute. If there is no cost penalty, we may wish to consider dropping "Unibestos" immediately. If there is & significant cost penalty, we perhaps should do more sampling either at your plant, the Engineering Test Center, or some suitable other location' to gee enough data to convince the vendor that he has a problem, then let him share most of the expense of the definitive and corrective program. A copy of your report has been sent to J. Roy Allen, ESD Thermal Insulation Consultant, for comments. We will attempt to get a Company cost penalty for dis continuing "Unibestos" from the Engineering Department. *80 DUP 0901321 SC-DP-02750
