Oue to the success of this program and the response from the member company per sonnel in attendance, the Safety Committee has recommended that tne Safety Seminar beaeeepted as a continuing activity of the Safety Com mittee, and that future seminars be held at various locations through out the country. Chairman Zimmerman noted that the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has prepared a criteria docu ment on all toxic and hazardous materials in plants and that asbestos s listed as the number one hazardous material. Maximum exposure permitted is two asbestos fibers per day. Annual X-rays are required for employees having more than tan years sarviee in asbestos environ ments. For employees wearing respirators, exposure is limited to *5 minutes out of each hour. Any product containing more than 1% asbestos must be marked with a warning label. Mr. Zimmerman noted that memcers should be aware of this problem area and should work together as never before to develop acceptable working standards with asbestos. Mr. ZiMerman briefly referred to standards also being produced with respect to asbestos by the Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the rules being developed by GSHA and NIOSH for the asbestos industry should sarve as a warning to the gypsum industry. Thera is a need to work together in an industry team effort to study our own deficiencies so that the problems encountered by the asbestos industry can be avoided. Industry spokesmen need tc know and talk to Washington representatives so that the inoustry posi tion and efforts are made known early. The report of the Safety Committee was accepted with thanks.
