Dear Mr. Crooks
On March 24 1960. personnel from this Program collected atmospherie dust samples in your plant The resulting dust counts are
reported in Table I. In general these show a low dust court however
several results also indicate that the dust concentrations may approach
or somembot exceed the threshold limit of five millions of particles
per cubic foot of air This limit is recognized for asbestos containing
airborne dusts
.
.
.
The zirborne dust is a composite mixture of particles of asbestos silica and lime as well as the calcium interaction produc referred to by the trade sam of kaylo In order to reduce the in-
plant cirborne concentration of this dust the following recommendations
are made
1 General ventilation - Improve the general ventilation of
the building to augment the local embsust ventilation as
already installed at many locations along the production
machinery
.
2. Existing exhaust ventilation systen - Service the ex-
isting system with respect to enclosure devices dust loading and general repair in order to secure the full efficiency of the incorporated design features
to collect the dust at local sources of emission
Note
.
In a preliminary tour of the plant it was
noted that considerable dust escaped at #
sam in the flatware finishing line This
condition boxover was corrected at the
.
time of the above study

Bousekeening - Clean the floors particularly along and
under the flatware and roundware fabrication lines
Note
A considerable amount of bulk or jumpy material accumulated along the production lines This
material will undergo further pulverization on the floor resulting in airborne dust concentra
tions in the general atmosphere of all plact
gr80s
4 Exhaust esses from fork lifts - Redirect the exhaust gases from the fork lifts preferably and above the lifts This would overcome the tendency of these gases from blowing dusts from the floors stacked or unloaded pallets where some dusty material will accumulate
Respiretor procr31 - Continue to use U.S. Bureau of
Super approved type respirators for preusonoconiosis dust in those locations where dust arises beyond the
effective control of the local exhaust ventilation system This refers to several intermittent opera-
tions such as looding or unloading and charging the materials from cars lifts and into mixing hoppers
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Very truly yours
