Manville began using such warning notices because in 1964 it was reported by a member of the medical profession that there might exist a risk to some persons who installed industrial insulation products containing asbestos, in that inhalation of excessive quantities of asbestos fibers over prolonged periods of time under certain conditions might create a risk of contracting asbestosis to some persons.
The label in use from 1972 to 1978 was prescribed by the
United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) pursuant to 29 C.F.R., Sec. 1910.1001, such
regulation being promulgated by OSHA in 1972. This label was
revised by Manville to include a no-smoking warning, implementation
of which commenced in November 1978.
In addition, product
literature was available from sales personnel.
In addition, Manville placed warning notices on the packaging of its asbestos fiber. The warning labels and the dates of use are as follows:
1969 to 1972
CAUTION

Use of warning labels commenced during 1969. The label ir. use from 1972 to 1978 was prescribed by the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) pursuant to 29 C.F.R., Sec. 1910.1001, such regulation being promulgated by OSHA in 1972. This label was revised by Manville to include a no-smoking warning, implementation of which commenced in November 1978. Manville also placed this .warning on all bags containing asbestos fiber in five additional languages; i.e.: French, Dutch, German, Spanish and Japanese. Additional language may have been used from time to time.
See also answer to Interrogatory No. C.9. for identification of the brand or trade name of products, products containing a label, and the date the label was attached to such products.
B.20.
Set forth the name, address and job position of each
and every individual who took part in your company's decision to
place a warning on its asbestos or asbestos containing products.
ANSWER:
The selection of the wording of the text of the
warning labels was made by a group of individuals representing the
following departments at Manville: Environmental Control, Employee
Relations, Executive, Legal and Product Marketing. The 1972 change
in labeling was mandated by the federal government under the
Occupational- Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the standard
promulgated thereunder for exposure to asbestos.
Beginning in the fall of 1974, all corporate labeling activities were within the jurisdiction of the Corporate Labeling Committee.-- Chairman of the Corporate Labeling Committee was Paul Kotin, M.D., Senior Vice President of Johns-Manville Corporation, Health, Safety and Environment Department, until his retirement in September, 1981.
On information and belief, the labeling of products at Manville Corporation is currently under the direct responsibility of each Product Manager in conjunction with the Corporate Labeling Committee, which consists of representatives from the operating

ever recommend that it utilize a warning on its asbestos containing
products? Tf so, identify each such employee, indicate when he
made such a recommendation, indicate what the recommendation was,
to whom it was given and what action was taken thereon.
ANSWER:
In 1944, Manville employees discussed a proposed
California regulation which would have required the labeling of
materials which contained one percent of asbestos or silica, if the
materials "were to be used under conditions likely to give rise to
dust." No warning or caution labels were adopted at that time.
28
In 1952, some employees of Manville or related entities discussed the possibility of placing a caution label on asbestos fiber shipped to Illinois, m an effort to observe rules md regulations promulgated by tr.e Industrial Commission o: Illinois '.v'hich required one labeling or suostances narr.ru* to tr.e nea.tr. an safety of employees which, subsequently, may have included asoesros
fiber.

B.24.
Prior to 1964 had your company done any studies or
tests or had your company participated in, been the subject of,,or
been aware of any studies or tests by others concerning the
potential effects of inhalation of asbestos dust or fibers by one
using or being exposed to asbestos or asbestos containing products.
If so, state:
a. the date each study or test was conducted and the date defendant became aware of said study or test;
b. the names and addresses of the persons conducting each test or study;
c. the purpose of the study or test;
d. the results of each study or test;
e. if reduced to writing attach a copy hereto.
ANSWER: Beginning in 1928, Manville Corporation or related
entities participated in animal research on the effects of asbestos
at the Saranac Laboratory of the Trudeau Foundation in upstate New
York. This -research was indirectly funded by Manville Corporation
or related entities in the form of premium payments and assessments
to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which was the immediate
sponsor of the study.
The amount of these contributions are
unknown.
In early 1931, a report of this animal experiment was published by Dr. Leroy U. Gardner, the director of the project, in Vol. 13, No. 3 of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene. This report
33
was entitled "Studies on Experimental Pneumonokomosis.
'.'I.
Inhalation of Asbestos Dust: -Its Effect' Upon Primary Tuberculosis
Infection."
_
Manvilie Corporation or related entities, along v/ith otner companies, asked the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to determine whether asbestos dust was an occupational hazard and, if so, the nature of the hazard and methods of control. Manvilie's
contributions again were indirect and took the form of increased premiums and assessments of unknown amounts.
The Industrial Hygiene Division of the Department of Public Health of the McGill University Medical School in Montreal assisted Metropolitan Life in this research. The results were published in 1935 in the Public Health Reports. Vol. 50, No. 1, issued by the U.S. Public Health Service. The title of the article was "Effects of the Inhalation of Asbestos Dust on the Lungs of Asbestos Workers" by A. J. Lanza, et al.
As a result of .some of this early research, the Saranac
Laboratory undertook additional research on the health effects, of
prolonged excessive inhalation of asbestos fiber.
The Quebec
Asbestos Mining Association ("QAMA") , of which Manvilie Corporation
was a member, contributed to this new research. A report on this
research was delivered at the Seventh Saranac Symposium in 1952 and
was entitled "Pulmonary Function Studies in Men Exposed for Ten or
More Years to Inhalation of Asbestos Fibers" by Fernand Gregoire
and George W. Wright.
As a result of industry sponsored research, the Saranac Laboratory also published an article entitled "Experimental Studies of Asbestosis," by Arthur J. Vorwald, Thomas M. Durkin and Philip C. Pratt, Archives of Industrial Hygiene and.Occupational Medicine. January 1951, Vol. 3, Page 1.
In the early 1950s, the Saranac Laboratory obtained funding from the QAMA for an animal research project to investigate the reported association between asbestos exposure and lung cancer. A report entitled "Asbestosis and Pulmonary Cancer" by Arthur J. Vorwald was released in 1952.
The^QAMA also sponsored an epidemiological study of lung cancer among asbestos miners in the province of Quebec, Canada. The study was conducted by Daniel C. Braun and T. David Truan for the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The study was entitled "An Epidemiological Study of Lung Cancer in Asbestos Miners," and appeared in the June 1958, Vol. 17 issue of the Archives of Industrial Health at Page 634;

Corporation or related entities continue to monitor current workers
and retirees who have previously worked with asbestos, as a part
of the overall surveillance program incorporated in MESHIMS
(Manville*s Environmental Safety and Health Information Management
System) .
*
Beginning in 1968, Manville Corporation or related entities
also sponsored studies relating to possible risks associated with
the installation or removal of asbestos containing thermal
insulation products.
In that year, Manville joined in the
establishment of the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program,
Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The purposes of this study were
as follows:
(1) to develop improved methods for minimizing inhalation by insulation workers of dust and fumes encountered in their work;
(2) to disseminate knowledge of those improved methods of dust and fume control wherever they may be applied advantageously; and
(3) to offer cooperation, advice and assistance toward universal adoption of these methods.
The Program Director was Irving J. Selikoff, M.D.
In 1969-1970-, Thomas J. Weeks and Allen F. Burns conducted tests for the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program at Manville's Research and Engineering Center at Manville, New Jersey. The report on these tests was entitled "Performance of Dust Respirators against a Fibrous Dust," and was published in American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal. (May-June 1970).
In addition, in 1968, the Clinica del Lavoro, Milano, Italy, initiated an epidemiological study of the biological effects of
39
asbestos dust among the Port of Genoa and LaSpezia Arsenal insulation workers. This study was sponsored by the Institute cf Occupational and Environmental' Health, which was, in turn, funded by QAMA. Manville Corporation or. related entities contributed to the funding of the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association. The report generated by. tms study was entitled "Researcr.

Many of the approved respirators which were used at Manville facilities were manufactured by American Optical Company, Mine Safety Appliances Company, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Scott Aviation, Welsh Manufacturing Company, and -Willson Safety Products. The specific models which were approved for use varied over the years, as newer, more sophisticated models became available.
Respirator usage was mandatory when the dust exposures at a
particular work station were above the recommended threshold limit
value for exposure to asbestos.
However, generally, no

See answer to
Interrogatory No. B.24.
B.36.
When was the first time the defendant became aware
of or knowledgeable of any disease or illness associated with or
causally related to the inhalation of asbestos, asbestos fibers or
asbestos dust in any form whatsoever? Indicate which disease
defendant became aware of and describe how defendant became aware
of its alleged relationship to inhalation or exposure to asbestos.
ANSWER: Manville Corporation or related entities became aware of the confirmation of a relationship between asbestos exposure and the disease known as asbestosis in workers involved in mining, milling and manufacturing operations in the early 1930s. This knowledge was acquired from published medical literature which discussed the relationship between asbestos exposure .and asbestosis among workers involved in asbestos mining and milling and certain asbestos manufacturing operations, and as a result of claims filed by Manville's employees in 1929 and the early 1930s alleging injury due to exposure to excessive quantities of asbestos.
Manville Corporation or related entities first learned of a possible relationship between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in approximately 1960, when Dr. Wagner of South Africa published
47
an article on this topic. Manville or related entities received a workers' compensation claim which alleged mesothelioma in 1562.
Representatives of Manville Corporation or related entities first began to discuss a possible relationship refveer, i = cestor exposure and lung cancer in approximately 1543. However, for i number of years, there was no certain confirmation or a causal relationship. In 1955, Dr. Doll of Great Britain published an article on this topic, based on his epidemiological study of asbestos factory workers. Dr. Doll concluded that there was an increased incidence of lung cancer among those occupationally exposed to asbestos. Subsequent research has shown that lung cancer in those occupationally exposed to asbestos occurs primarily, if not exclusively, in persons who also use tobacco products.
B.37.
In reference to the preceding interrogatory, if
defendant acknowledges a causal relationship between asbestos and
disease or illness, set forth the following information:
a. what diseases or illnesses defendant acknowledges
are causally related, to or associated with exposure to asbestos
dust or fibers;
.-
b. the date upon which defendant became aware of the association with or causal relation to each such disease or illness;
c. the date upon which defendant confirmed the causal relation of each such disease to exposure to asbestos dust or fibers; -
d. how defendant relationship or association, information.
became aware of each such causal indicating the source of all such
ANSWER:
Defendant objects to this Interrogatory on the
grounds that questions of existence or non-existence of a causal
relationship between asbestos exposure and disease call for a
conclusion in the form of an expert opinion by a person in the
medical field. Without waiving its objection and, in an effort to
be responsive, see answer to Interrogatory No. B.36.
B.M.-
If your company manufactured any products which

asbestos insulation to cover extremes cf he at as
ANSWER:
Asbestos containing cements were loose materials
which were mixed with water by hand or by hoe or trowel. They were
applied in plastic form with a trowel and allowed to dry.
Asbestos containing pipe coverings were, in some instances, shaped or cut with a knife, hand saw or table saw. (On the average job, less than ten percent (10%) of the total pipe insulation was cut.) The pipe covering was then tied in place with wires or bonds.
Asbestos containing block insulation was used on flat surfaces which were first covered with cement. Wire or expandable metal lathes were then placed on top of the cement to grip the block insulation, which was placed on top of the wire or lathes. The block insulation was, in some cases, cut by drill or saw to smoothly finish and fit the area.
Asbestos sheeting was usually applied to framing with nails or screws. It was sometimes necessary to cut these board products with a hand or table saw.
Asbestos containing paper, tape, felt and cloth was used for insulation in unique applications. It was sometimes necessary to tear these materials or to cut them with a knife or scissors to fit the appropriate area.
Asbestos containing gaskets or packings were placed between joints of mechanical equipment to prevent leakage. Thus, gaskets were furnished in a large number of pre-cut styles and shapes. In some circumstances, it may have been necessary for an installer to fabricate or shape the gasket on the job site.
B.39.
Prior to 1964, were there any memoranda written by,
distributed, or circulated among defendant's employees, agents or
representatives concerning the potential health hazards concerned
with asbestos containing products? If so, state:
-- a.-
dates of each memorandum;
b. name, address and job position of each individual who wrote each memorandum;
c. name and address and job position of each individual to whom the memorandum was directed;
d. where each memorandum is kept;
49
e. attach copies of each memorandum hereto.
ANSWER:
Yes.
Copies of all responsive
documents will be produced at-the document repcs
parties. See answer to Interrogatory No. 5*21.
In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this Interrogatory among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be made available to Plaintiff for review at a time agreed upon by the parties.
All non-privileged documents in the possession, custody and control of the Fund which were obtained from Manville Corporation and which relate to asbestos are located in a records repository in Denver, Colorado. The Fund assumed the management and operation of this repository on November 28, 1988, the date on which the Manville Corporation bankruptcy plan was consummated.
The repository was originally set up and managed by Manville
Corporation to house the documents which Manville retrieved and
produced in previous asbestos litigation. In 1983, pursuant to an
order entered by Judge Ira Brown of the Superior Court in the City
and County of San Francisco, Manville Corporation was required to
produce all non-privileged documents relevant to the coverage
litigation which Manville Corporation had commenced against its
insurance carriers.
That litigation was brought to establish
Manville. Corporation's right to defense and indemnification for
costs incurred in connection with the asbestos litigation. The
insurance litigation was ultimately settled for sums in excess of
$800 million.
In order to comply with Judge Brown's order, Manville Corporation hired numerous paralegals and law clerks and undertook a massive and comprehensive review of the corporate records of the company which existed at various Manville facilities world wide. Manville spent literally millions of dollars to gather and maintain this collection of documents.
Similarly, beginning in 1985, Manville Corporation was required to produce the vast majority of these same documents to representative's of the United States Department of Justice, in connection with Manville's actions against the United States. In those cases, Manville Corporation was claiming a right to indemnification or contribution for expenses incurred in the defense of asbestos health cases brought by workers employed in government owned or controlled shipyards.

These documents are currently kept at the document repository referred to above. The repository is now maintained and operated by the Fund.
Mar.vilie Trust recurrent Tateacries
The repository contains 19,317 boxes and 968 rolls of
microfilm, house in two separate warehouses. The larger of the
two warehouses contains 15,293 boxes.
The smaller warehouse
contains 4,024 boxes and the microfilm collection. These documents
are grouped in nine categories:
01: 02: 03: 04: 05: 06: 07: 08; 09:
Manville plant collection - 10,383 boxes Waukegan plant collection - 4,908 boxes Lompoc plant collection 149 boxes World Headquarters (WHQ) collection - 3,417 boxes Microfilm from Manville WHQ - 492 rolls Microfilm from Manville WHQ - 361 rolls Documents sent by Local Counsel - 385 boxes Microfilm with Redacted Documents - 115 rolls Documents produced in January, 1989 - 73 boxes
The Manville Plant collection (01) includes documents from the Manville, NJ plant; the Nashua, NH plant; the Billerica, MA plant; the Savannah, GA plant; the Laurinburg, NC plant; and the Fort Worth, TX plant. It also includes documents sent to the plant for storage from Manville General Headquarters prior to the early 1970s, when the Headquarters offices were located in New York. In addition, this collection includes documents from plants in the eastern United States which were closed prior to the 1980s.
The Waukegan Plant collection (02) includes documents from the Waukegan, IL plant and the Oak Brook, IL office.
The World Headquarters (WHQ) collection (04) includes documents which were obtained from a number of locations, including: the Denison, TX plant; the Franklin, PA plant; the Green Cove Springs, FL plant; the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec, Canada; the Long Beach, CA plant; the Lompoc, CA plant; the Marrero, LA plant; the Manville offices in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; the Pompano Beach, FL plant; the Pittsburg, CA plant; the Stockton, CA plant; and the Waukegan, IL plant.
The IfHQ-collection also includes documents obtained from the files maintained at the World Headquarters, including: the Asbestos Fiber Division; the Audio-visual Department; Manville Contract Units; the Corporate Information Center; the Corporate Relations Department; the Engineering Department; the Executive offices; the Fiberglass Division; the Filtration and Minerals Division; the Finance Department; the Health, Safety, and Environment offices; the Holophane Division; the Industrial Products Division; the Labor Relations offices; the Legal Department; the Patent and Licensing

Level"); insurance loss runs and policies; local counsel files;
legal department files; and miscellaneous asbestos-related
documents.
The Microfilm collections (05), (06) also contain documents
which were located at World Headquarters. Generally,the same types
of documents from the same departments and offices are included.
However, at the time of the production in the insurance litigation,
these documents were produced on film, usually because the
documents were in active files which needed to be maintained for
normal operations of the company.
Records from the following
collections were included in these microfilm collections: patents
and licensing department; the Research and Development offices;
the Lompoc plant; the Health, Safety, and Environment offices; and
the records from the Englewood Cliffs, NJ sales offices; insurance
department files; insurance policies; industrial hygiene surveys;
administrative bulletins; asbestos medical articles; asbestos
health depositions; asbestos health files; Manville Corporation
general ledgers from 1919 to 1952; and growth plans from 1971 to
1980. In addition, some document collections produced to insurance
companies are also located on film in these collections.
The Local Counsel Boxes (07) collection includes documents from Heller, Ehrman, White & McAuliffe in California; Freeborn & Peters in Illinois; and Budd, Lamer, Kent, Gross, Picillo & Rosenbaum in New Jersey.
The Microfilm collection with the redacted documents (08) contains documents from many locations previously mentioned. However, privileged portions of the documents have been redacted, and the redacted copy was filmed, so that the documents could be produced. .
The Boxes produced in January, 1989 (09) are documents which
had originally been classified as privileged.
All privileged
documents were reviewed again in 1988 and 1989, and the documents
in the 09 collection were determined to be producible.
Box Index
A Box Index for the repository is provided to reviewers. It took six paralegals three months to index the boxes. The microfilm took an additional three months to index. The finished indices were then spot-checked for accuracy by a supervising paralegal with five years experience in the asbestos litigation.
52
The fora used to prepare zhe index was reviewed ir. advance by Selected Counsel for the 3enef icianes, a group of three clair.tiff's attorneys appointed by the Trust's Board c: Trustees to recreser.t the Asbestos luttgatton 3roup. Any ontnnes _ :t tn11
The index consists of twenty subject categories, twelve document types, and twelve time periods ranging from pre-1930 to post 1985, in five year increments. Each box and microfilm roll is indexed individually. A box may contain more than one type of document, subject area, or time period.
The Box Index allows reviewers to: 1) establish priorities for
their searches; and 2) eliminate large numbers of boxes with
irrelevant documents. For example, many boxes contain nothing but
sales invoices or payroll records.
A reviewer interested in
documents relating to knowledge of asbestos health hazards would
be able to eliminate those boxes from his or her search on the
basis of the Box Index alone.
Reviewers may order a copy of the index so that they can identify the boxes which they wish to review prior to their arrival at the repository. Alternatively, the Fund will provide reviewers with a printout of all the information contained in the index. Finally, the Fund will conduct computer searches of the data base for reviewers who identify the categories in which they are interested.
Review Procedures
The repository is open. to all parties to the asbestos
litigation. An informational packet on the repository is provided
to all parties who express an interest in the collection.
It
contains information regarding the hours of operation, rules
regarding reviews, and procedures for scheduling visits to the
repository.
Generally speaking, the Fund has been able to
accommodate the schedules of persons wishing to conduct a review,
and access is often provided with less than one week's notice.
Defendant objects to this Interrogatory to the extent that it requires Defendant to search the entire document collection on the grounds that such a search may be performed as easily by any other party as by the Fund.
B.40.
Has defendant or its predecessor corporations ever
had a division, affiliate or subsidiary which was involved in
contracting for or installation of asbestos-containing materials
in New Jersey? If so, for each such entity involved in the
contracting or installation of these products, set forth the
following information:
53
a. name of each such entity and the nature c: relationship to the parent corporation;
ANSWER: ` To the best of Defendant's knowledge, Manville or related entities did not own a contract unit in New Jersey. H.w. Porter, also known as Porter-Hayden, did distribute Manville products in New Jersey in the 1970s. In addition, H.W. Porter installed Manville products in New Jersey on a contract basis in the 1950s and 1960s.
B.41.
Did defendant ever provide any of the employees who
worked in the contracting for or installation of asbestos
containing materials with any respirators, face masks or protective
clothing? If so, indicate what types of protective clothing,
respirators or face masks were provided, describe when each type
was first provided to each employee and describe why they were
provided to each type of employee.
ANSWER:
At least since 1962, Manville made respirators
available at its contract units for general dust protection.
Subsequent to the Selikoff studies in 1964, Manville required its
insulation installers to use respirators approved by the Federal
government. See answer to Interrogatory No. B.31.
B.42.
Has any individual who was ever employed in the
contracting and insulation business referred to above ever filed
a claim for workers' compensation because of an alleged
occupational disease sustained allegedly because of occupational
exposure to asbestos? If so, for each such employee who has filed
a claim set forth the following information:
a. name of each such employee;
b. when each claim was filed;
c. where each claim was filed;
d. name of the attorney who represented the petitioner and respondent*

For the most part, these invoices cover sales of Manville products
since the late 1960s.
However, the sales records even for this
time period are not complete.
Other sales records may have been
destroyed pursuant to the ordinary record retention policies of
Manville.
Based on a search performed on the Box Index data base
described in response to Interrogatory No. B.39, there are a total
of 5,648 boxes which contain only sales invoices or other records
relating to sales of Manville products.
The documents in these
boxes are not organized, and in order to identify sales or
particular products or sales to particular customers, it would be
necessary to review each sales document.
'
Moreover, there are approximately additional 2,325 boxes which
contain sales records as well as other documents potentially
relevant to the asbestos litigation.
However, these boxes would
not need to be searched in their entirety by a reviewer interested
only in sales records.
The burden of searching, these records is no greater for another party to the litigation than it would be for the Fund, and consequently, the defendant elects to produce business records in lieu of response to a written interrogatory. In the event that the counsel elects to search these boxes, a printout of the relevant box numbers can be provided.

Asbestos containing pipe covering and block were wrapped with
kraft paper and sold in cardboard boxes.
Asbestos cements were
sold in multi-ply kraft paper bags and heavy duty, polyethylene
bags.
Asbestos yarns were wound on paper tubes and shipped in
fiberboard cartons or wooden boxes.
Asbestos cloth was rolled,
wrapped in laminated kraft paper, and tied with tape or twine. The
roll was then placed in burlap tubing. In later years, the burlap
tubing was replaced by reinforced paper.
Asbestos tubing, depending on the specified size, was packaged
on spools, wound on reels or cut to specified lengths, and placed
in fiberboard cartons. Asbestos tape was rolled, bound with white
twine, and placed in fiberboard cartons.
Asbestos sheeting was
rolled on tubes then wrapped in laminated kraft paper, tied with
tape then placed in fiberboard cartons with paper lining between
each roll. Larger sheets, which were individually wrapped in kraft
paper, were.pla.ced in corrugated fiberboard cartons or placed in
wooden crates.
Printing on the cartons or bags usually included the J-M logo, the name "Johns-Manville", the product name, the size and the weight. Additional language may have been used from time to time. Photographs and 'product literature are located at the document repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado, and will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties.

ANSWER:
Yes.
Manville Corporation or related entities
discontinued the manufacture of most asbestos containing thermal
insulation products in the 1972 to 1973 time period. See Exhibit
A for dates of manufacture.
These products were discontinued in
part due to concerns about the-health consequences of occupational
exposure to asbestos.
Manville Corporation or related entities
developed asbestos free replacement products for many of the
asbestos containing products which were manufactured previously.
No asbestos containing products have been manufactured by Manville
since 1985.
With respect to asbestos fiber, Manville Corporation sold its interests in asbestos mining and milling operations in 1983, and has not sold asbestos fiber since that date.

On a continuing basis, Manville Corporation or
related entities furnished customers information as to the proper
use and application of its insulating products, and directly or
indirectly advised industrial insulation contractors to utilize
ventilation equipment, such as respirators, at the sites where
finished insulation products were being worked with and applied.
Those respirators which have been recommended were approved by the
federal government for use as protection against asbestos.

instructions to products regarding the handling of these products.
See response to Interrogatory No. B.19.
In addition, Manville's
product ^literature contained recommendations regarding respirator
usage and utilization of adequate dust collection systems when
fabricating, handling and applying certain asbestos containing
materials.
Manville Corporation or related entities participated in and contributed to the informational and educational program of the National Insulation Manufacturers Association (NIMA). This program
84
was designed to educate the insulation contractors' industry wirr. respect to the health aspects cf exposure to asbestos.
To this end, NIMA sponsored,a number cf regional reerir-s t:
asbestos fibers by those who worked warn, msta-.ed or app.oed asbestos containing thermal insulation products. In 196? and 1968, approximately eight hundred insulation contractors attended these regional meetings.
Approximately three hours in length, these programs included
a review of:
l) the biological effects of exposure to asbestos;
2) the threshold limit value for asbestos;
3) methods for
evaluating concentrations of dust; and 4) engineering and method
recommendations designed to assist the contractors in dust
abatement and environmental control.
The highlights of these presentations were published in
several booklets prepared by NIKA.
One such booklet, entitled
"Recommended Safe Practices for Handling and Applying Thermal
Insulation Products Containing Asbestos," printed May l, 1968, was
written by members of the NIMA Education and Information Committee.
This booklet was distributed during the 1968 meetings.
in
addition, the booklet was distributed to customers, employees and
other interested parties.
