I would like to inform you of the decisions and/or corrective actions that resulted from the five recommendations contained in the audit report. In addition, I would like to request a reply from you regarding our response to these recommendations. Recommendation Humber One: We have installed labels on all tanks, containers, and pipes that con tain or are used to transport asbestos. The labels contain the proper wording as specified in the asbestos standard. Recommendation Number Two: All portable drinking water containers have been moved out of the work area. They are now restricted to an area beside the soft drink machines next to the office area. Recommendation Humber Three: This has been implemented exactly as recommended. Recommendation Number Four: This was discussed in depth and the decision was made to continue to have showering at the end of the work period as an option. We have taken in excess of 100 personnel and area samples to document that no job3 involve asbestos exposure at or above the permissible exposure level. Protective clothing is required for all tasks where asbestoscontaining material is handled. In addition, respiratory protection is required for those jobs having the greatest potential for exposure to asbestos. Decontamination facilities, including boot washers and HEPA vacuum cleaners, are installed for use when any employee leaves the work area. After decontamination, all protective suits are removed and placed in disposal containers. We feel these precautions AN OPERATING UNIT OF THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY
