RE: REPORTING OF ASBESTOS CONCENTRATIONS TO EXPOSED EMPLOYEES
Mr. R. P. Carter of Pittsburgh Industrial Hygiene advised me today that we are not obligated to report asbestos concentra tions of less than 50 fibers per mill-iiiter to exposed employees provided employees exposed in the range of 5 to 50 fibers/ml are fitted with appropriate respiratory protection. (Note: The 3M No. 8710 respirator is appropriate respiratory protection for the 5-50 fibers/ml range.)
