Dear Mr dboverg .
X have gone over the regulations which
you sent me an April 18th arid 1 think they are generally
quite satisfactory for the purpose for which.they are
intended X have only one reservation concerning them
* In the last sentence of Section 2 (a), and in Section 6
(b)s reference is node to various types of gloves fha
only thing important about these gloves is that they
should be kept free of Fluid It is, of course, of* some
..
consequence to protect the hands of>men who must handle .
.
heavy articles of this sort* However, from the point of
view of lend exposure, It would be infinitely better if
these men nora no gloves-than if they were -to continue
to us gloves which have been eontominnted-with Fluid
X think, however, it should be specifically-stated at
both of those points-that If. the gloves' son.In ooutsat
-
with the Fluid, they srnat he either cleansed carefully
if they arc rubber or canvas, and that they must b e
..
discarded at one if they are leather I am not Inters bed :
especially in tb phraseology of this, but this is a source
.
of definite hasard and. la. my opinion- it should be specifically ;
so indicated 1 anticipate bh response that this is all
''
Included in Section 1 (a). However, ay expehienc with
rules and regulations is that if there ia point which
can be mi a-interpreted or omitted, it-is oe&bhin to bo
..
den Repetition of certain important points, therefore,
com to be a necessity Ferhaps, therefore, w should
add a Se^tetMMi at each of these points to the ffeot that
v
rubber gloves which have o o I n contact with Fluid In any
amount should bo cleansed at no with keroSon or gasoline
and then soap and. water, that canvas gloves should be im
mediately discarded and laundered, and that leather gloves
should be removed at on@ and dstcpyed.
Vory truly yours,
