< f ; n_e.. . . * ** /' August 20, 1974 Dr. C. C. Blackwell, Jr. Medical Dap Chicago REi Industrial Hygiene Survey PPG - Winchester Dear Charles* I have yours of August 12th re above survey. ' -- -- In your absence I talked to Dave Gidley and it was agreed he would put down a comparison between the survey of June 17-19, 1974 and the September 10-14, 1973 survey. The objective being to highlight areas that increased the asbestos exposure in *-74 vs. '*73 and try to explain why. I have reviewed C.*B. Mallory's letter of 2-26-74 outlining the status of the recommendations included in the September 10-14, 1973 report. It seems there has not been a great deal of further cor rective progress since Charlie Mallory's 2-26-74 letter. We (Gidley) should follow up on the status of these items -- many, seem to be pending or "available" if -desired -- are respirators being used more? With my background in manufacturing I can be somewhat sympathetic* to CBM's concern re stirring up unrest by insisting on the use of respirators, ear plugs, and the posting of warning signs re hazardous substances. In my present position, however, I cannot condone ignoring the laws of the land. The problem is not easy but neither is it going to be re solved by letters back and forth. SPNY 000519 SCF-ABEX-1671
