REQUEST FOR SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS FOR PNEUMCCONIOSIS CASES REPORTED ON OSHA FORMS 200 AND 101 K/O VALLEY CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT__________
Since January 1984, the K/O Valley Construction Department has been engaged in an asbestos removal/demolition project at our Sistarsville Plant. On Wednesday, May 16, 1984, Robbert Clifford, III, a Compliance Officer for OSHA visited Sistersville to conduct a compliance inspection of this project. In conjunction with this inspection Mr. Clifford examined the Coiistruction Department's OSHA Forms 200 (Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses) and 101 (Supplementary Record of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses) for the years 1981 - 1984.
Mr. Clifford and Ki'ely Parker, the Health/Industrial Hygiene Supervisor for OSHA in the Charleston area, after examining these documents determined that our use of the term "pneumoconiosis" to describe the employee's illness on line No. 14 of OSHA form No. 101 is not sufficiently detailed nor is it indicative of the employee's specific illness. On May 30, 1984 I was inform J that the Construction Department would not be cited in violation of any OSHA standards on this matter. However, I was also informed that we will be served with a letter that will instruct us to use the same specific medical terms for the employee's condition on form No. 101 as the physician uses on the employee's personal medical record. For example, if an employee is diagnosed with asbestosis and this term is used on the employee's medical record then we must use the same term on our OSHA forms.
UCC 016996
-2As a result of OSHA's position in this matter I am requesting that you evaluate the medical records of each employee on the attached list. Based on your diagmsis please provide us with a specific description of their illness (dust disease of the lung), ie............asbestosis, silicosis. If, in your opinion, a specific type of pneumoconiosis cannot be identified based on available medical records, x-rays, the employee's work history, etc. then place "pneurroconiosis - specific type unknown" beside the employee's name. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
