Wolff O'`*o>nt<n Dept Area sunect February 25, 1983 Asbeatoa Labeling Attached la my propoaed label for packages of "Calidris" Asbestos. I have combined your ldeaa with Hilton'a and added a few pointa of ay own. 1. I think thla la a good tlaie to Initiate use of the International "a" logo on 1 baga. Canadian coapanlea have used It for aeveral yeara, and we uae It on our Sylodex products which go to Europe. The EEC has not adopted the "a" symbol officially, but it is generally accepted. 2. I agree with Hilton that we should include the word "chrysotile" in a prominent manner. 3. I firmly believe that the first line Item la true for short fiber chrysotile--others may not. A. We should not aay "wear respirator" without saying when. Uae of respirators should be encouraged, but they are not required unless TLV's are exceeded. 5. We should stress the use of "work practices" as a better means of reducing health risks than "regulations". We should use the new label on all bags except those used for Sylodex. The Japanese label is their own wording, not a straight translation of the OSHA label. We should discuss our proposed label with Tomoe and Grace--maybe Byrne and Dickson could do this in March.
