Shell Oil Company
Interoffice Memorandum
FEBRUARY 11, 1993
MOST CONFIDENTIAL
FROM:
L. C. WADDELL, JR., M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR CLINICAL MEDICINE, CORPORATE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
TO:
A. THOMANN, M.D., MEDICAL DIRECTOR DEER PARK MANUFACTURING COMPLEX
SUBJECT:
PULMONARY REGISTRY REVIEW EMPLOYEE NUMBER
The Pulmonary Registry form indicates that
worked for
Shell from 1946 to 1979. Further information supplied to me
includes a note from Dr. S. R. Cowles dated April 4, 1988 which
included the statement that Dr. Cowles had been informed by the
family that there was in
case X-ray findings indica
tive of asbestosis. According to a memo from Katherine Moore to
Dr. Cowles dated February 24, 1988,
last examination
at Shell was a silica surveillance exam in 1978.
His chest X-rays do show evidence of diaphragmatic and probable chest wall calcification. In addition to his work at Shell where he was employed as a painter, there is a history indicated of shipyard work during World War II.
It is now approximately 14 years since
has left Shell
employment. At this point in time, there would not appear to be
any relevant recording or reporting requirements, either from an
OSHA point of view or from Shell internal standards regarding
recording of occupational illnesses.
I do not believe that there is any aspect of this case that would require any action at this time.
If you have any questions or if there are concerns that I have not addressed in this memo, please contact me.
We are returning the chest X-rays with this memo and the Pulmonary Registry form with our portion completed.
Thanks for your continuing help.
