James Pittsburgh Office - 1983 July 08 RE: ASBESTOS Ref: Employee Training______________________________________ _______ _________ As discussed in the recently released I.H.

The presentation is directed primarily to maintenance activities (demolition, renovation, etc.), with special emphasis on the following: 1. Hazards associated with asbestos 2. Work practices and disposal procedures 3. Protective clothing 4. Personal hygiene practices 5. Warning about smoking 6. Air monitoring 7. Medic*! surveillance This sound/slide program is available on a loan basis for a two week maximum time period so that everyone will have an opportunity to view it in a timely fashion. Please contact me on Ext. 2597 if you are interested. As a final comment, there have been some questions raised concerning medical surveillance with regards to asbestos exposures as outlined in our Asbestos Technical Bulletin. Please note that Dr. Belk, Corporate Medical Director, will be sending a detailed explanation of this issue to the plant physicians in tfce near future. la/rjdlh~' JOAN E.
