Asbestos Study Comlttee October lyo The seminar will be scheduled for Wednesday, Dccenter 3, and Thursday, Decenter 4. The opening session will be a presentation by Johns-Jlanvill* for the full afternoon on Deeeaber 3. Other topics will be scheduled on Thursday morning, with Itr. Mereness (or someone else fron AIA) talking at the luncheon on Thursday. There wonld be a registration fee of $10 for the seninar. Ur. Drlslane will try to sake arrangements at either the Marriott at Saddle Brook, the Raaada Inn in Rochelle Perk, or the Sheraton Heights in Easbrouck Heights. Mr. Dris lane will write !fr. Magdelain and Mr. Mereaess to officially Invite them. Mr. Wegner will write to Mr. Kwon, Mr. Eceeleightener, and Mr. Hendry to firm up the arrangements. The committee recommends Chet Messrs. Wagner and Drlslane plan and schedule the Beminar. It was suggested that the type of person to be invited should be someone Involved with plant problems, but it should also be tl.e foreman or other individual who could get across the message to not use an air hose or a broom. The possibility of e movie being shown was discussed. It was suggested that the controversial interview of Dr. Sellkoff and Dr. 'air1wcha of Turner Brothers wonld not be the right presentation. Perhaps a movie that emphasized controls in the work piece might be worthwhile. Mo iecision was made as regards a movie. Another suggestion was to have a presentation by those who have used foam to envelope the work station so that no dust Is raised during mixing. Ur. Weaver felt that this was an interesting technique. Mr. Stone had discussed this at an earlier meeting but had made no further progress on this since that time. 1c was decided that this would not be added to the agenda. As regards the Hilfisk equipment, it vas noted that this is good equipment for local pick-up of dust and debris in the work place. However, this subject should be expanded to include a central system such as e Hoffman unit. It vas felt that this session should be called `'housekeeping in the work place" rather than '"Nilfisk". However, the Nilfisk representative would discuss his unique equipment. The idea was to sell the concept of cleaning the work area (not to sell the vacuum cleaner). Hr. Drlslane will indicate this particular point to !-!r. Uagdelaln in his invitation. AIA BOCISLET "ASBESTOS AMD BRAKE LIKINGS" Mr. Mereness requested Mr. Drlslane to have this booklet reviewed for update and corrections. The first question raised was "Who is this booklet aimed at?". Also, "What- is the purpose of this booklet?" It was stated that this write-up was not a complete presentation of any particular aspect of the asbestos problem, and while interesting Insofar as it vent, vas not particularly convincing. It is not the type of message that would ordinarily be given to customers of friction material manufacturers. The message for re-builders and the garage people is to not create dust in the work piece. There should be more emphasis, if this vas the direction of the booklet, on such things as labelling, possible use of Instruction sheets, the handling of lining, and Che proper use of exhaust systems. One of the problems in the field is that these customers will often groove, chamfer or provide extra drilling. It is during these subsequent operations that asbestos concentrations may be raised to levels above that allowable. It was pointed out the Asbestos Study Committee could not re-write a draft unless it knew what the booklet was aiming at. It vas stated that the title is wrong. Perhaps there should
