Daughdrill during the calls at the yard on June 20-23 1972 PURPOSE The purpose of this service call was to obtain air samples for asbestos analysis during insulating operations on ships to obtain air samples for zinc oxide analysis at the hot zinc galvanizing tank and at welding operations on galvanized metal in the sheet metal shop and to obtain an air sample for cadmium analysis during a silver brazing operation Concentrations indicated of the above substances were to be compared with the threshold limit values of the Occupational Safety and Health Act OSHA During the call laboratory equipment was discussed and the author was present during an interview of an applicant for the position of Industrial Hygienist at the yard All of the above activities were requested by Mr. Stratton and Mr. Daughdrill CONCLUSIONS 1. Under the conditions at the time of this call no concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess than five micrometers per of the OSHA Standard of cubic centimeteorf air five were fibers longer encountered at the locations sampled See attached Air Analysis Table Samples CB58 CB51 CB56 CB71 and CB55 Results are shown in terms of total fibers and of asbestos fibers Our laboratory estimates that of the total fibers seen 10 were asbestos Some fibers were definitely fiber- glass The samples were collected from the breathing zone of the employees on membrane filters mounted in an open face filter holder A Mine Safety Appliances Company Monitaire Air Sampler was used to draw in air through the filters Fibers were counted as prescribed by the OSHA Standard with phase contrast illumination 2 One zinc oxide concentration exceeded the OSHA threshold limit value see attached Air Analysis Table Sample CB63 3. The concentration of cadmium was below the OSHA threshold limit value see sample BU40 | 4. Collection of air samples for zinc oxide and cadmium was similar to the method for asbestos Analysis of the samples was by atomic absorption 5 ' An atomic absorption spectrometer and a 400-450 power microscrope with phase contrast illumination are major items required if your chemical laboratory is to analyze air samples Whether your chemical laboratory is to be given this added responsibility whether you establish a separate laboratory for this purpose or whether you employ an outside laboratory for sample analysis is a decision which should be made by your management 6 The industrial hygiene applicant interviewed by Mr. Stratton appeared to have the necessary educational background but lacks experience and ee + training in the specific occupational and in sampling methods for air yavaaridlable for this training by the U. tion and Welfare Information may be disease hazards present at the contamination Courses are S.

The serious hazards of asbestos have recently received widespread publicity and have generated a high level of interest in its use by the . . . U. S. Navy as an insulating material Although the Naval Shipyarda have 1 | for many years been aware of the hazards associated with asbestos and have , observed certain precautionary measures it is evident that more stringent - measures must be taken to insure personnel safety There are many varied uses of asbestos in the Navy and the most important from a health hazard viewpoint is from piping insulation lagging and boiler insulation The hazard exists wherever there is a possibility of dust evolution during _ operations such as fabrication installation and especially during out 2. In order to minimize the hazards associated with the use of asbestos _ and therefore reduce the possibility of injury to personnel a comprehensive ; study has been initiated by NAVSEC and NAVSECPHILADIV has been assigned responsibilities to conduct the following 8.

Conversations with industrial hygienists revealed that although the methods of conducting particulate determinations are important there is no uniformity in the shipyards It was also noted that the method ~ recommended by the American Rygiene Association has not been updated since 1942. This procedure is generally used by the shipyards The areas of sampling the method of sampling and the operation and material involved effect the total dust count reported It was also expressed that the techniques of sampling as well as the method of counting the counts par- ticles should be standardized for all shipyards Total dust counts should de reported in addition to the fiber count and fiber size and if possible identifying these fibers as asbestos The wider use of a contrast phase microscope would enhance the identification of fibers and make the counting procedure more meaningful ; c The fabricating shops were surveyed and their facilities were evaluated Generally exhaust equipment ranged from excellent to fair due mainly to varying ceiling heights High ceilings favored the accumulation of overhead dust on rafters and beams Those shops which had wooden floors required repeated vacuum cleaning and wet sweeping Cutting and sewing tables equipped with a water supply and local exhaust hoods were ideal but unfortunately not all shops were so equipped The sawing operation was not always conducted under adequate ventilation handling d A study of insulating materials used by the shipyards revealed wide of materials including asbestos rock wool cork elastomeric a range calciua silicate magnesia diatomaceon foam fibrous glass cellular glass The practices of these earth cotton and cementous agents varied considerably and in many materials by the pipe insulator chief excay He failed to wear coveralls respirators habits practice respirators goggles gloves and use protective skin creams and curtail . which is known to increase the incidence of a observed One innovation initiated at asbestosis Work practices were of asbestos coment with water under one of the shipyards was the mixing eliminate dusting All of the *. cover of a closed polyethylene bag to shipyards which use amosite asbestos blankets wet them down and enclose them in polyethylene bags prior to transportation to the application site and water are being then rewet them with spray being reopened for use s .

If we are going to hold the seminar on those dates we need to be making plans accordingly If we can all agree on a date I will be glad to give you any assistance I can in making the necessary plans In view of the number of attorneys who will attend we may need to obtain some space for the meeting at a local motel rather than try to have the seminar in an office of one of the Jackson firms We also discussed various depositions which needed to be taken on the Gulf Coast As I recall we tentatively agreed to depose the Moore widow Mr. Daughdrill of Ingalls as well as the subcontractors Frigitemp Battersby and Shook & Fletcher I believe you suggested the first week in May for these depositions If Karl Weisenberg is agreeable to furnishing with the purchase orders and lists of insulation and lagging on the ships constructed at the Ingalls yard we may be able to proceed with the depositions at that time I know that we are all concerned in getting our discovery completed in a timely fashion Therefore unless you have some new information which would indicate we should hold up on these depositions I suggest we proceed as discussed and take these depositions the first week in May Mr. Roy Williams Page 2 March 27 1979 We have received a letter from Nicolet advising that their Los Angeles counsel had been involved in a deposition taken of the industrial hygienist at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard He produced over 2700 pages of documents many of which related to asbestos and asbestos problems at the Naval Shipyard He apparently kept a diary of every day that he worked at the shipyard I do not know whether Ingalls would have had an industrial hygienist in addition to Mr. Daughdrill but if so it will probably be a good idea to include the hygienist in any depositions to be taken I will be looking forward to hearing from you RLF ml CC All Defense Counsel Very truly yours BUTLER BUTLER SNOW O'MARA STEVENS & CANNADA Enk L.

We have checked the available records of Litton on the first item of your request that is the purchase orders for insulation work on each vessel constructed converted and overhauled by the shipyard We find that there are approximately 2,500 boxes stored in four different locations Each box is approximately 2 feet by 3 feet and each contains between 50 and 100 separate files The times involved are from 1965 to date From our first inspection of the indexes it appears that the majority if not all of such files prior to 1965 were destroyed in the course of Litton's usual business practice The physical task of going through these 2,500 boxes and separating asbestos subcontracts and asbestos purchase orders will require roughly - 600 manhours Litton would propose to pull out the relevant files with its own personnel If Litton is to make these files available by May 1 it would require the assignment of sufficient personnel at an estimated cost of 6,000.00 If the plaintiffs and defendants are willing to share this cost in accordance with Judge Roper's suggestions we will proceed to do this with our own persamel The boxes filed do not include the requested records on the current contracts in work by Litton including the DDs and LHAS We are pulling these files and will make them available to you for reproduction without cost for our time in assembling the files as soon as they are available With regard to your request for insulation and lagging lists for all the vessels that Litton has constructed our engineering section is determining the availability of these documents and we will furnish you this information as soon as we receive it With best regards I am _ Sincerely Karl Wiesenburg mw cc All Plaintiffs All Defendants --" counsel counsel whoo .
