being developed asbestos materials continue to be used in
the Navy in such applications applications as gaskets and pipe hanger
installations In addition ships presently in commission and

shore installations have asbestos boller and pipe insulation
that will involve rip and potential personnel exposure
for another 20 or more years
Su Recognizing the serious health implications of asbestos exposure to humans the government has imposed
stringent occupational occupational health and environmental protection standards references b and + respectively for the control of asbestos These standards and controls specified .
in enclosures 1 and 2 must be strictly enforced and
followed by all Navy civilian employees employees both appropriated and nonappropriated fund and military personnel afloat and
