Gentlemen:
On August 30, I960 a visit was made to the Philip Carey Manufacturing
Company, Dockland, Ohio to check conditions under which the above-named claimant had worked. This company manufactures a wide variety of asbestos shingles.
The claimant's employment record with this company is as follows:
9/15/36 - 8/l/h5 ' 8/1A5 - 3/18/U6 3/18/1,6 - 5/9A6 5/9A6 - 8/28/50
8/28/50 - 9/10/50
9/10/50 - 6/12/57

Asbestos Mill Watchman Felt Mill Paper Mill--Laborer In Fiber Storage Area Beaterman Helper Lead Beaterman In Asbestos Mill Off Due To Illness Janitor In Power Plant Ceramo Shingle Straightener
As a beaterman's helper, the claimant dumped burlap bags of asbestos
fibers on a conveyor. This was done in the storage area. As a lead beaterman,
the claimant was in charge of the beater area. As a Ceramo shingle straightener,
the claimant would see that asbestos shingles, when they entered the oven, were
straight. Dust counts taken in the area where the claimant worked between
September 15, 1936 and June 12, 1957 have varied between 2.6 and 6.8 million
particles per cubic foot of air.
A dust count, taken on this
visit in the breathing zone of a beaterman indicated the air contained 0.8
million particles per cubic foot of air. This dust would be composed mostly
of asbestos. Men working, in the beater area are required to wear respirators.
