Interoffice Communication to Everitt DeWhitt From Tom Grumbles oate September 13, 1983 Subject INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PROGRAMS AND PROGRAM AUDIT SYSTEMS Below is a brief summary of the subject programs for the Chemicals Division. I believe you are aware of most by virtue of participation. I spoke with Mary Ann regarding hazard communication programs and Bill Broddle is well aware of the toxicity assessment and product liability program. INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE AUDITS The audit criteria is attached. All plants, except LCLAB which is scheduled this week, have had initial audits and three plants have had second round audits. PRODUCT TOXICITY ASSESSMENT The charter for the standing committee is attached. The function is selfexplanatory and deals mainly with company products. PRODUCT LIABILITY/MSDS Documents describing the product MSDS program are attached. The one dealing with preparation of MSDSs is currently being revised. The system description document is to be finalized in the near future. MEDICAL PROGRAMS A voluntary annual multi-phasic physical exam program is offered to all operations personnel, with special tests, (i.e., blood leads) where necessary due to specific chemical exposure or regulation. Based on the audit results all plants have well organized, functioning industrial hygiene programs that include hearing conservation, respiratory protection procedures and sampling programs. Please let me know if you have further questions on the above. Thomas G. Grumbles ajo cc S. F. Pitts J. R. Drumwright DTH 000032125
