VCM/LEAD DOSIMETRY - SAMPLING FREQUENCIES
The results of 1980 lead and VCM dosimetry are summarized in Tables 1 & II (Attached).
Based on these results and the probable exposure potentials of the jobs involved, I recommend the sampling scheme shown in Table III be adopted. The following changes in sampling frequencies are involved:
VCM
1. I & E Maintenance Supervisor
Change from yearly to monthly basis because of upper confidence limits (UCL) of results and nature of work.
2. Vinyl Lead Operators & Maintenance Utility Techs
Change from monthly basis to yearly, based on results and nature of work.
3. Plant Manager & Plant Superintendent
Add to monitoring list on yearly basis due to nature of work.
LEAD
1. Dry Blend Utilities & Compound Operators

to be re-evaluated after June, 1981'.
