Abe Associates, Inc. -5- December 28, 1977 Page 69 In this section the draft indicated how much it would cost for a proper set of measurements. It indicates that the cost would run about $20-30 per measurement. To get a proper set of measurements it indicated that one should take two samples per work station and four samples per worker. Using the illustrations of a brake shop with three mechanics and eight work stations they indicate a need for twentyeight samples. They figured two samples for each of the eight work stations and four samples for each worker. I would think that this would scare off the brake shop from the cost of monitoring. It would seem more proper that a hygienist could select two or three typical work stations and one or two workers. While a work station is being monitored a worker may also be monitored. This would reduce the number of samples taken to six or ten to monitor the brake shop Indicated, I believe that OSHA should give some advice to Abt Associates as regards what they would consider proper monitoring for the illustration that was made. It Is likely that a small brake shop would take exception to the costs involved in the number of tests Indicated in this illustration. ***** Thank you for the opportunity of reviewing this draft of the ''Trainer's Guide.11 If you have any questions on my comments I would be pleased to discuss' them further.
