He informed the committee that the award cost the Association $20.00 to purchase and nail, and re* quested that they eight consider adopting an award that eight have greater utility for the winner, such as an ash tray or pen set. The conaittee, after much discussion, directed the secretary to obtain a less costly certificate and also purchase an ash tray for the award winners. Following a thorough review of the last three editions of the Safety Bulletin, the committee selected one article by ballot. The article "Did You Bet Your Life?" by Val Robertson, Assistant Pro duction Superintendent, The FUntkote Company, Blue Diamond Gypsum Division, Fremont, California (August 1967) won the award. Mr. Robertson will receive a certificate and inscribed ash tray for his contribution to safety, * 3 . AIR Ain? STREAM POLLUTION ' . The chairman cited a few pollution problems involving plants on a local level. He stressed the. importance of all committee members keeping abreast with local, state, and federal pollution programs.' One tceaber noted a recent'problem involving the asbestos in dustry where a number of lung carcinoma cases had been reported by inhabitants of the neighborhood surrounding an asbestos plant. It was further noted that clinical tests and investigations had resulted in legal action against the manufacturer by the claimants. The chairman indicated that air ar.d water pollution problems would have a dramatic effect on all industries and that the committee should take, the Initiative to meet any such problems head on if they should occur in the gypsum industry. Following a discussion of p o llu tio n problems in var dustr.ics, i t was the consensus that the s a fe ty ctmm.ittee shea wore active program in this area, outlining the problems that and what steps have been taken to solve them. , cus in C **(<>*> S SC 4 On a co that the chairman suggest that they cion problems, so ion secondad'and carried, the ccmmitace ree emended advise the directors of the p o l l u t i on problem, and have plant managers jo in l o c a l greums studying pcllu as to give our industry greater, ccn croi of the probi docket.

O'Neill DATE November 1, 1972 Tigard LOCATION Wilmington l o c a t io n Tigard subject Asbestos Replacement - Joint Svsteras -- Status Retort Considerable concern has recently been expressed by various interests on the use of asbestos in Joint systems. ' It is therefore proper that you should be aware of what is being done to eliminate this raw material from our Joint system product line. , After considerable work, what appears to be a suitable replacement for asbestos has now been found. However, it will take some time to remove all the problems associated with any * new raw material. Our present plans call for a replacement of asbestos from Ready-Mix which would eliminate asbestos from approximately 50$ of our production - thereafter the bagged products will be changed. (In case of Acme the reverse approach will probably be taken.) . . To this end it is hoped to manufacture one trial batch of Ready-Mix at Marietta and one batch of bagged Joint compound at Acme before the end of this year. If this proves successfulit is further hoped that some asbestos--free Joint compound- (both Ready-Mix and bagged goods) will be available, on a very ' ' limited basis, within the first half of next EDO/ct ' ` E.

Tests Mero conducted November 27, 1972 a t Georgia P a c ific Corporation, Chicago, Illin o is , manufacturers of tape jo in t compounds. Dry Ingredients ar added a t a loading hopper the load Is then conveyed to bagging machine. Both operations were monitored. . APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE ' ' Sampling and dust counting wore carried out In accordance with OSHA Regulation 191U.95a, using the Bayer, Zunwalde and Brown method for counting asbestos fib ers by phase contrast microscopy (Bureau of Occupational Safety and Health, Feb. I9G9). Battery powered air.pumps (M.S.A. type) calib rated to 2 lite r s per minute were used to co llect personel breathing 'zone and environmental samples on M U ilpore membrane filte r s of 0.8 micron porosity. Fiber counting was performed on a Leltz microscope u tiliz in g phase contrast Illu m i nation a t 4Q0X and a Patterson Globo and C irc le r e tic le . Total dust was determined by tig h t fie ld microscopy a t IOOX, TEST RESULTS ' ' Three figures have been repocted'for each sample. They are: , 1) Total Fiber - Any material 5 microns or longer having an aspect ra tio of 5 or greater. Reported ns fibers par mil I I l ite r . Ifoto;' This figure Is considerably higher than the "possible" asbestos fib e r count. The presence of Mica in the tost accounts for the large fig u re. M ica, a mineral with a platelet-type appearance f it s the s t r ic t ru le , of greater than 5 microns In length and having an aspect ra tio larger than 3. However, It Is obvious that these p la te le t structures are not asbestos,.nor even fibrous In nature. . 2) Asbestos Fiber - Any m aterial, 5 microns or longer, .having an aspect . ra tio of 3 or greofer, which In the Judgment of the oporator could possibly be asbestos. Reported as fib ers per mil11 lit e r . 3) Total Oust - Any fib e r or p a rtic le present. Reported as m illio n p articles per cubic foot. INTERPRETATION . S G P 0 0 B6 5 7 9 Tho regulations have been nstoblIshed with the 5 fib er lim it on a tlmo-welghted average. This e sse n tia lly means tho figures must be arranged to show an employee's avorago Intake o f fib ers per m illilit e r on an B-haur day. For example, tho highest reading In the te s t was 3.6 flbors/m l, If th is was the only contact with asbestos that day., the 2-mlnete sample would be extrapolated to 8 hours, giving a time- wfiirthtmt nvrrann of loss than 0,02 flbers/mt.

S lirn tm T v * / i %V '. \ 2 8 S 5MPI0YERf S ASBESTOS CONTROL PROGRAM CHECK-LIST The broad requirements of any asbestos control program should include : First; Initiate a respirator program immediately to reduce .exposures until other contol measures can be developed* Second ; Identify obvious dusty operations,or potential sources of asbestos dust* ' Third; Develop capabilities for -both personnel and environmental monitoring* Otherwise the exact exposures or dust level ranges are unknown. . Fourth t Examine work practices to identify those causing dust production and eliminate,modify,or explore alternate ways . - ' t , i Fifth; Initiate engineering controls that will have a sustained effectj such as, substitution of materials, new methods, ventilation control,iso lation, enclosure and dust collection. ` Sixth; An educational program is necessary to explain program directives, changes of work practices, techniques,and medical requirements. Seventh; Medical programs are now required. Each asbestos worker must be medically and environmentally monitored. Record keeping and availability of the records to both the worker,his physician and to OSHA or NIOSH are embodied in the requirement. ' . <5 ASBESTOS HAZARD CONTROL - 'GENERAL * CUANCIRG '.1 PRACTICES IS A SI*PLK,ECOfmiCAL, AMD PRACTICAL APPIOAOH TO CONTKOJ. OP ASBESTOS DUST PRODUCTION Come recommended practices are : I* Use plastic waste bags Tor collection,transportation,and waste disposal of asbestos refuse. 2. Use a portable industrial vacuum cleaner for pick-up of asbestos waste and dust at the work site. 3* Use plastic impregnated paper coveralls and dust respirators for dusty operations of an incidental nature. The coveralls are throw-away and eliminate processing and cleaning, - L. Use down-draft ventilated portable work tables for precutting and assembly at asbestos materials at remote locations,mobile situations or inside ships. 5, Precut all block insulation in shops under ventilated condition and then deliver it to location. ' " . ` Package pre-cut. block Insulation in plastic and add water to contain dust,, maintain integrity of gores,identification,and ease of handling* 7, Reduce airborne asbestos dust 50 to 4>0 % by prewetting the materials before handling. P, Nix asbestos cement (15#) at remote locations under ventilated conditions. Nix small batches in plastic bags, - 7. Spread plastic or canvas drop cloths at work site to contain and facilitate clean-up. . 10, Conduct modular assembly of asbestos materials on piping prior to Installation 11. Consider disposable forms of respiratory protection for onetime or intermittent use situations. (U.S. Bureau of mines Approved.) ` 12. Substitute non-asbestos products whenever suitable,acceptable and feasible. . ' 13. Use enclosures to limit the spread of dust from unit operations. 14* Seperate clean-up areas for workmen. 15.

Robert Boyd arrived at our office and presented their credentials as inspectors from the U.S. Department of Labor Division of 0S3A. They had a file from the Bureau of Mines that indicated we had an ashes employee exposure problem in our Joint System operation. The Bureau of Klnes had refered chi* problem to the Department of Libor because a recent ruling doaa not allow the Bureau of Mines to make inspection beyond our calcining procesa. Mr. Boyd made an OSHA Administrative check, He noted that ve had all of the required OSH/ porters in proper position, recorded data regarding number of employees, our OSHA aecldeni '.os, first aid equipment, etc. Kr, Boyd left the plant shortly after 2s00 P.K. and did not return. He was assisted in his collection of information by E. C. Foley and R. G. Schifforle. Kr. Pauly vas conducted to the Joint System Department by W. J, Hammer and w later Joined by Kr. Schifferle. Several air monitoring devices were either attached to workers in the area or located in general work areas to establish an eight hour exposure time. Kr, Pauly concluded his testing at about 7:30 ?.M. and departed from the plant at about 8:00 P.K, I had an opportunity to discuss the whole tea ting program with Kr. Pauly before he left the plant. Ke wanted to make one point clear, that hi# function was not to harass, write citations, or impose fines. He had been advised that we had an asbestos problem and waa running air sample tests only. He did take, the time to point out potential problem areas where vc can expect problems with 0SEA at a later date if his sir sample tests indicate excessive concentrations of asbestos particle# greater than 5 mlcrous in length, these a: of potential problems were diacusoed la.:detail using his copy of the Federal Rcgioter, Vo 37, No. 110 dated June 7, 1972. The major portion of our discussion centered around the items listed on page 11321. * lv "Establishment of a respirator program, (a) The employer shall establish a respirator program in accordance with the requirements of the American National Standards .... It vas conceded that we had established a proper respirator program in the Department..

OSKA regulations are s t r i c t concerning asbestos and there could be problems w ithin the gypsum Industry as a resu lt of In h alation o f asbestos fib e rs present in dust environments. The committee proposed the follow ing i n i t i a l considerations: 1, The member companies should pool inform ation they have on the subject, 2. I t is necessary to determine ranges o f hazards. - 3. The s t a f f is to develop a l i s t of te stin g agencies qual- I f led to conduct tests of dust environments containing asbestos, determine estimated costs of te st programs, and report on methods used. 1. The Chairman is to include th is sub ject in his report to the membership and request funds from the Board of D i rectors fo r a standard industry te st program. (- !3 - 5, Request that the S a fe ty Committee recommend what is needed to protect the ap p licato r working in these conditions. i t was reported that contractor organizations had requested guidance from the A ssociation on the problem. The p o s s ib ilit y of d ra ftin g an ASTM standard on jo in t treatment compound was discussed but no recommendation was made. An opinion was expressed that asbestos may not be an ingredient in jo in t compound w ith in the next three years, t t was fu rth er speculated th a t contractor groups such $ GDCI and iaVJCC may wish to p a rtic ip a te f in a n c ia lly in the develop ment o f an industry s a fe ty program fo r hazardous dust p ro te ctio n .

REPORT OF THE SAFETY COMMITTEE Chairman <|. H. Walton reported on the a c tiv itie s of the Safety Committee. Hr. Walton reviewed the la s t three successful Association Safety seminar programs on accident prevention. These workshop sessions were held at Cherry H ill, New Jersey, San Francisco, California and Jackson ville, F lorida. The next seminar Is scheduled for Cleveland, Ohio on September ?B, 1373- During the Jacksonville meeting, OSHA representative W. VI. Cordon addressed the conference ar.d provided useful information on OSHA regulations and procedures. Hr. Walton reported that the " I n d u s t r ia l Safety Manual" has been recently revised and Is strongly recommended to the management personnel of every plant as an excellent plant safety g u id e . Chairman Walton stated that fleet safety a c t iv itie s are being given greater attention and that the committee has proposed a s ta tis tic a l program to co llect accident per mile data In order to establish an Industry accident frequency rate. A matter Of concern ts the Increase in the plant accident frequency rata for the Industry. The membership was asked to give their attention to programs designed to reduce the rate. A further complication Is that there are currently two reporting systems to determine frequency, the OSHA and the ANSI. Zl6 incident report. Mr, Walton noted that 1373 w ill be an interim year during which the mem bership can report safety s ta tis tic s to the Association under either reporting system, but that i t Is anticipated that the Industry safety contest program w ill be e n tire ly under OSHA reporting methods In 137-. It was reported that a l i s t of 17,000 Items had been com piled by NIOSH containing chemicals and other Ingredients which could affect the environment. .Asbestos fibers continue to receive attention throughout Industry, Other hasards considered to be of prime importance to the workers' environment are noise, heat stress and carbon monoxide, The chairman urged the membership to become aware of the standards being developed In OSHA and. NIOSH. H r. Walton reported that.tne Safety Com mittee recommends that the Association undertake a program to study a ll airborne dust emissions from the mixing and finishing of jo in t compounds. ` SGP 0006771 . /1W - -5- */ /*? / J 27 Hr- Holloway reported on a meeting In Fort Dodge, Iowa on Hard 1373 which four member company works managers from the area met with committee representatives to review a new county zoning ordinance affecting mining operations end to discuss future tend rec- lamatlon plans. He noted that, as a result of the meeting, the plant naniotri are currently planning to meet with the Webster County Zoning Boerd In an attempt to modify an ordinance which requires a 150 foot setback from property lines for quarrying operations. Hr. Holloway also noted that the Fort Dodge managers would f ile master plans with the Zoning Board individually, but the plans would be entered on one color coded map covering quarry operations In ten year Increments. Severance tax a c t iv itie s continue to be monitored In Ohio and Indiana by the Association s ta ff and progress reports are issued. The committee has maintained close liaison with the Haterlals Handling and Safety Committees on mutual areas of interest. The chair* wan emphasized the need for more education and training to assure proper loading of our bulkhead fla tc a rs , which has been c ritic iz e d by the AAR. The committee added th e ir support for the safety film on fork l i f t trucks as proposed by the Safety Committee. The Manufacturing and Mining Committee discussed an Associa tion test program for determining the asbestos content of Jo in t com pound dust at Its meeting on the previous, day. I t was their recommenda tion that such an undertaking must be carefu lly assessed and defined before any testing Is in itia te d . The chairman of the Building Code Committee had recommended to the committee that i t consider a uniform method of marking the face side of Interior gypsum board In order that building Inspectors could ascertain the type of board installed prior to Jo in t treatment. The Manufacturing and Mining Committee' s Immediate reaction was that any marking to the'face side of board products should be avoided. This matter was referred to the Board of Directors for guidance. ' Underwriters' Laboratories has proposed a plan using the q u ality control functions of the member companies rather than inspec tion of board machine production. This would reduce U .L .'s Inspection function. The committee thought this to be a decision for each com pany to make rather than an Association matter and therefore did not o ffe r a recommendation on the plan. The committee decided to continue to meet annually w lth the task groups, meeting at the c a ll of the chairman as frequently as re quired during the year. . A comment from th floor was made to c la r ify the purpose of th* U.L, quality control Inspection plan, , This plan was developed in answer to complaints about the variations in U.L. Inspection methods at different plants. The program offered by U.L. apparently Is in tended to apply to the entire industry and, i f offered by U .L,, the present Inspection procedure w ill be discontinued. SGP 0006772 f/f7 -u- approve such an ongoing and continuing testing program, in order to establish parameters of a program for the consideration of the Clrectors( the following guidelines are proposed: 1, The Test committee Is to be a standing subcommittee of the Technical Committee. 4. There sh a ll be three Bombers, each from a different company, having expert knowledge of f ir e , sound end structural testin g appointed by the Chairman of the Technical Committee. in addition, a secretary shall be appointed. 3. Members do not nbed to be members of the Technical and Building Code Committees, but may be selected from each member company on the basi$''of th e ir expert knowledge. At least one member Shall have knowledge of building codes. h. There shall be unanimous agreement within the subcommittee about the need fo r running a specific test. Any difference of opinion w ill be resolved by the Technical Committee. 5. The laboratory location, time, arrangements and other details of test shell be the responsibility of the subcommittee. 6. The subcommittee In vites, and w ill review, any test desired by any member under this program, 7. The subcommittee w ilt meet as often as necessary to determine a p rio rity l i s t and prepare a cost estimate for approval by the Board of Directors at least annually. 8. Where test data exists within a company, a request w ill be made for release of the test,, before attempting any duplicate tasting. A Testing Subcommittee was appointed at the last Technical Com mittee meeting, and they proposed an in itia l program of ten tests (six fire and four sound) after consideration of 28 tests submitted by the membership. The cost estimate for the series was $38,500. in it i a l ly , approve! was requested for $22,000 white the program is In Its beginning stage. I t is anticipated that this amount is needed for the tests that'cauld be conducted In one year. The program Is not to be Involved to testing any proprietary products, as defined by the Board of Directors and distributed to the membership in 1588. _ The chairman next reviewed the need for .program to evaluate the hazards which may be present in dust resulting from jo in t samilng or dry mixing of jo in t compound. OSHA Is especially s t r ic t where dust SGP 0006773 -13 V W i'n'Canait te e 1 to recommend a program to otarmlrie the hazara w .. approva budget request for th is a c tiv ity . --ThB -rfialrman recommended that tha Board of Directors appoint a n Association task group to consider a ll phases of OSHA. This would ln ' c5ud* axehanea of Information and consideration of in-plont dust pro blems. at wall as f ie ld hazards and the need fo r warning labels on products. The chairman recommended that an industry task group on Consumer products L ia b ility be appointed rather than a task group within any one eawnittee. This would be a demonstration of a c tiv ity on an in dustry. rather than a fragmented committee basis. in connection with the use of gypsum products In the mobile home industry. I t was suggested that insurance companies and the Hoblle Heme Association should be asked to provide information about mobile home f ir e problems. The Board was asked to provide guidance on this proposal. ' i t has been suggested that there is a need for a remodeling _ specification for the rehabilitation of substandard housing. This Is a very complex problem and would require a great deal of work.^ The Technical Com!ttee did not wish to pursue this problem at this time unless the Board of Directors desired that action be taken to develop a rehabilitatio n specification. - Mr. Shull spoke In behalf of a scholarship program to be estab lished in honor of the late John A. Robertson. A Technical Committee task group had proposed that a John A. Robertses scholarship be es tablished at a university to assist a needy student In construction technology or architecture. The Board was asked to consider such a program. The report o f the Technical Committee, except for items relating to budget, wes received with thanks. Chairman Abbey, of the Building Code Committee, rose in behalf of his committee to support the Associa tion Test Program and the John A. Robertson scholarship program, REPORT OF THE PROMPT IOliAL COMMITTEE , Chairman D. Vi. H ille r reported on the a c t iv itie s of the Promo tional Committee. Hr.

In view of this, and the hang-up that developed in Memphis in our transition to asbestos free All Purpose, Mr. Lehnert has directed ma to request your plant to also Begin labeling the baga. . Each bag should be stamped on the front with the warning that I have enclosed. Since this is only a temporary measure, a ru&bar tamp the 'size of the enclosed warning will Be sufficient. 1 We feel that ths problem which occurred la Memphis is minor. However, it haa slowed our progress. Wa ace presently making minor improvements on the formula. When we have finalized the formula revision, we would like to have you extend the shipment of the asbestos free All Purpose into additional markets. WHGselr + -fir''-, ,'i.'ySf-, 's ;!** U j.il.

S. Department of Labor on our handl ing of asbestos, and would of course advise you to proceed as rapidly as possible on an emergency basis to correct our de ficiencies. We are working towards the elimination of asbestos in joint cement, but I am confident that we cannot await this develop ment as we will be using asbestos for some time in the future. I would also ask that you send a copy of the Citation to the other joint cement operations for their information, and also so that they can proceed with corrective measures prior to OSHA. inspection for the same violations.

' July 6, I973 TO A U MEMBERS OF 7HE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE Gentlemen: Re; Asbestos In Joint Treatment Compound . . The 8oard of Directors of the Association approved an in vestigation of the problem of hazards resulting from asbestos re- ' leased in sanding and mixing joint compound. As a result, a meeting was held In Washington, D. C. with representatives of OSHA, in which they encouraged the Association to pursue a testing and monitoring program to determine the extent of hazards occuring in the use of joint compound as well as other effects of gypsum dust. hfv resPntfed to my report of the OSHA meeting dated July 11, 1973, with support and concurrence that the Association undertake a program to assess asbestos hazards in the ' use of joint compound. . Therefore, it is requested that avaiTable data be sent to me for collection and consolidation, of investigations of the asbestos lproblem undertaken within the member companies. Also, it is requested ^ company nominate a candidate to serve on an Association subcomm.ttee to a p p o s e the data,analyZe the problem, and develop a . monitoring program for presentation to OSHA that would reflect the consensus pos tion of the Association's membership. The candidate fieid aoDlfcaifoi8^ knowled9e of appropriate testing, screening, A flue ! i Procedures, and possibly OSHA and NIOSH requi rements. ihi I k subcommittee would seem practical. It is recommended that this subcommittee meet in August to begin the work. Please give this your early considerate on.

H s r~ < I 1 s CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions are presented on the basis of ebscv*r and a i u u c t a ^ n t i raids during the study reported herein. 1. _ Bassd on ths m u l t i of the ten-ninuti u n p l i r , it Is ip sat that ths exposures of workers engaged la mixing and lag of ths various Joint compounds used during this test be to concentrations approaching or exceeding five, fiber greater than five microoet *r i In length, per 'tuble cent! of air. 2. It is clear that persons engaged in the mixing and sandin joint compounds similar to those used during this test v be exposed to concentrations of airborne asbestos in exc of two fibers per cubic centimeter during the entire cou of their work. This value is the proposed acceptable It for an eight-hour time-weighted average exposure to asbe which la scheduled to become effective July 1, 1976. 3. With the exception of the teats conducted during sanding Joint compoun d 4Jt the results of analysis of the thirty, ute sample, using the rdepotition, technique, were cons encly higher then those obtained by direct analysis of t ten-minute samples by a factor of 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 . there it appears that use of tha redeposition technique would suit in the apparent concentrations of asbestos in alr'b higher than actually present and would therefore err on ''conservative" side. . 4. Discounting the results obtained by analysis of the chir minute samples, for which the redeposition technique was used, three of the samples collected (mixing of 2D and s Ing on 4R) indicated concentrations in excess of ten fib per cubic centimeter and sire therefore a concern as peaV exposures. With those exceptions, the problem is one of trolling the time-weighted everege exposures of workers asbestos. In that rsspset, it must be pointed out that sampling results reported he re i n are indicative of the suras of workers during the mixing or sanding operations not their time-weighted average exposure for a full work RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The results of sampling reported he r ei n should be analysed ; conjunction w i t h a study of tha wo r k practices and routine c persons engaged in mixing, sanding or otharwise being expos to joint compounds similar to those used in this study. In way a true evaluation of the tima-weighted average exposure such workers to asbestos can be made. If it is true that, s reported by worke rs used during this test, it would be unliV for an individual to mix or sand on the joint compounds for greater than two hours per workday, than the time-weighted i age exposure of such workers to asbestoa likely would be wit acceptable llmita.

ASBESTOS REIN mow datd February 8, 1974 l o c a t io n .- Wilmington LOCATION: Akrotl On February ,1, 1974, we sent the O.S.H.A. area director a required 30 day progress report on asbestos fiber control. In this report I indicated that we would have our permanent engineering controls completed and in full use by 2/11/74. I have now been advised by O.S.H.A* that we can expect an O.S.H.A. inspection on 2/11/74 or shortly thereafter. In this regard we plan to curtail Joint System production on 2/9/73 and clean up the entire work area. My main concern is regarding their requirement that we, "Establish a personal monitoring program to determine, at 6 month intervals, the concentration of asbestos dust." Our last series of test* cost us nearly $1,000 and were unacceptable by O.S.H.A, I have requested O.S.H.A. to supply me with the names of consultants to run the required tests that would be acceptable. A list of consultants has been supplied, see attached. But to quote the area director,"the results would not be acceptable to determine O.S.H.A. compliance" So it would appear that we should take steps to have the tests conducted in as inexpensive a manner as possible. We need to know for our own purposes how our controls are working, but we do not need to have a high priced consultant and laboratory to lend credit to the tests if thsta other than by O.S.H.A. will be unacceptable. I believe we will pass this inspection with no real problem. However, I was in hope that we could have a 6 month self inspection program and not look forward to regular visits from O.S.H.A. Inspectors. Now it would appear that we can expect regular testing by O.S.H.A. until we remove asbestos from all of our products. The attached list of consultants may be of some value to our other operations, but they should realize that tests other than by O.S.H.A. are not acceptable to the Department of Labor. We will keep you advised regarding the outcome of the 2/11/74 Inspection, . cc: Mr, H, W, Peele - Vila. Mr. R. G. Tuttle * Portland,"" Mr. John DlLorenzo - Portland k U. S.

Rauch Plant Manager G eo rgia-P acific Corporation Bieomingdale Road Akron, Hew York 14001 ' . Dear Mr. Rauchs . Your letter dated February ,1 1974 has been received and reviewed at this office. Please be advised that we are aware that your administrative controls and permanent en gineering controls will be in full use by February 11, 1974 and that these controls are within the dry mixing and packout areas to prevent employee exposure to asbestos dust. Your request for consultants to run tests acceptable to OSHA was also reviewed and to this end we are submitting a list of individuals and companies capable of performing asbestos dust sampling. However, the results would not be acceptable to fetermine OSHA compliance. . To determine if the permanent engineering controls are effective, one of our OSHA Industrial Hygienists will resample the workplace. It is anticipated that this sampling will be conducted on Febru ary 11, 1974 or within seven working days after this date. Based on the OSHA sampling results, you will be informed if the perman ent engineering controls are adequate. Meanwhile, temporary administrative controls (PPE> are to be conducted pending the outcome of our sampling. Sincerely, Chester C.

Respirators which are individually assigned sh all be either marked or stored in such a manner so as to aasure that they ere worn only by the individual to whom they are assigned. E. Monitoring ' In order to assure the adequacy of the respiratory program and to provide for a continuing healthful environment for the employees,monitoring operations w ill be conducted on a periodic basis. 1 . Environmental - Personal samplers and ambient a ir samples w ill be used in accordance with accepted industrial hygiene standards in order to periodically sample plant work areas, the results o f this sampling w ill point out the areas where ' respiratory protection is required. I t w ill also document the type of equipment which should be worn. 2. Hedlcal - Two types of monitoring comprise the medical aspects of the program. a. Pre-employment physical examinations are conducted in order to assure that they are In a healthy condition. b. Periodic physical examinations w ill be given to regular employees in order to a ssist them in maintaining their health. Respiratory Protection GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION Gypstua Divioion June 25 1974 SAFETY PROCEDURE SUBJECT: Asbestos I. OSKA Regulation. No employee shall be exposed at any time to airborne concentrations o f asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fib ers, longer than S uterometers per cubic centimeter of a ir . II. Testing Method Only the following method w ill be used in measuring- the amount of airborne asbestos fib ers: A ll determination of airborne fibers shall be made by the membrane f i l t e r method at 400 - 450 x (magnification) (4 millimeter objective) with phase contrast illumination. III. Safe Exposure Limit ' l. At the present time, the maximum safe exposure lim it is an 8-bour average airborne concentration of 5 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter of a ir . Only fibers longer than 5 microns are counted. (It takes 5,080 fibers 5 microns tong to make one inch). Below this concentration, no personal protective equipment is required. .2 Air containing asbestos concentration greater than 5 fibers per cubic centimeter may be worked in for shorter periods o f time without personal protective equipment provided the 8-hour average is not greater than 5 fibers. The maximum exposure at any one time, without personal protective equipment, i s 10 fib ers. 3. Beginning July 1, 1976, the maximum safe exposure lim it w ill be reduced from 5 fibers to 2 fib ers. * Monitoring for Asbestos Dust 1, Current jobs using asbestos, or products containing asbestos, are to be tested for airborne contamination. Whenever tests are scheduled, the prescribed procedure for sample collectin g w ill be carried out by trained technicians who w ill then arrange to have the samples tested. 2. The a ir test samples are to be taken within the breathing cones of employees, and in the general work areas. 2 IV. Monitoring fpg Asbestos Dust (Cent.) - 3 After the i n it ia l determination of exposure to concentrations of asbestos fiberB is made, samples shall be o f such frequency and pattern as to represent with reasonable accuracy the levels of exposure o f employees. In no case shall the sampling be done at intervals greater than six months for employees whose exposure to ashestos may reasonably be foreseen to exceed the lim its as outlined in Ho. I l l of the Procedure. A. Involved employees, or their representatives, are to be informed of the monitoring teats and of the resu lts. . S. Any employee found to have been exposed to concentrations greater than the safe exposure limit ia to be notified in writing within fiv e (5) days of the findings. Be is also -to be n otified of the corrective action to be taken. . V. Exposure l . Employees may be exposed to asbestos dust and material when they are: a. Unloading, loading or handling asbestos or asbestoscontained materials. b. Mixing asbestos with other materials In the process of manufacturing joint systems products. e. Bag f illin g operation used In manufacture of dry compounds. VI. Unsafe Exposure . In the event tests prove that the asbestos airborne concentration is above the acceptable threshold lim it as stated in the OSHA regulations, the following precautions w ill be taken and s t r ic t ly enforced u n til suitable engineering controls can be instituted to render the situation harmless. , ! Personal Protective Equipment - A ll eaptoyees engaged in the handling o f asbestos or working in the immediate area where the asbestos airborne concentration exceeds the permissible exposure lim it w ill wear the following personal protective equipment. a. EIXOSH approved Respirator b. Head Covering c. Coveralls d. Gloves e.

Wilson subject Joint Cement Products Zi w localion location Port1and dale August 1$, 1976 In view of the continued pressure and. the petition to the Consumer' product Safety Commission to han the use of asbestos in joint: cement compounds, we want to spell out our program to 11 concerned. This is basically what we are doing, although soma change in bag goods will be required. First, all products designed for the do-it-yourself trade, i.e. the 5-pound packages of dry products and 1-gallon Ready-Mix, will contain asbestos-free formulas. This program has been in effect and should not require any changes; however, if any plant has an inventory of these products that contains asbestos, it should be scrapped* We should use up any inventory of containers with asbestos warning labels by.the use of "asbestoa-free" labels to be placed over the warning on the container. . ^ Effective immediately, the only dry powder products in 25-pound or larger hags that will be sold will be casein products produced at Akron and Chicago. If you are producing any other bag goods with asbestos, you will eliminate this formula from your product line, and have Tigard issue you an asbestos-free replacement formula. You can ship your remaining inventory of finished products, and we want to use the inventory of hags by the use of "asbestos-free" labels to be placed on the bags. We will continue to produce both asbestos and asbestos-free products in 4* and 5-gallon containers for applicators and work toward improvement of the asbestos-free product.

Fink subject: OSHA IKFORMATIQtf date: LOCATION: January 20, 1971 LOCATION: portUnd The fir s t sir aosths of ojNrsclsg under OSHA Have bssa completed and aotne critera has been established. Three items stand cut namely: 1. The inspectors do not or cannot, because of lack of knowledge, offer any corrective recommendations, solely criticism am imposition of penalties. - 2. It seems that they are very reluctant to criticize labor, however management can be fined for employee violations. 3. Tha Inspective citation# appear to be petty, however, penalties are assessed. The entire program leaves a lot to be desired, i t is a far -cry form the Federal Mine Act supervised by personnel from the U. S, Bureau of Mines. They inspect, note violations recommend corrective measures and allow grace periods to correct before assessing fines. Attached is a report resulting fro an OSHA inspection at GeorgiaPacific s Ottawa, Ohio plant, also a letter form Floyd Arnold, Hanager of Safety. You w ill note the citation for a fire extinguisher set cfn the floor also the tagging of extinguishers. This is a continuous problem and i f you or your staff haye a suggestion please forward. Also, covers an electrical switch and junction boxes. Ha have this problem In dur plants and It has been called to your attention. We recowaend that the supervisors discus these items at the safety meetings. Aisles must be marked and maintained. The code reads Aisles shall be provided of sufficient width to permit the free movement of employees, mechanical trucks, l i f t trucks, etc. The aisle is to be independent of work ing and storaga space and should be defined by markiita. He have checked this end tha information received is that yellow marking is acceptable but they prefer white or white with black stripes. Several citations have been issued for improper recordkeeping great percentage of the recordkeeping citiations indicated changes in the entries and not initialed. Every entry must be initialed by the person making the entry. Rather than have several parties attestin g to maintain the loa we suggest that only the safety coordinator or tha office manager be respon sible for proper recording. .
