Furnishing Clothing for Asbestos Removal
Following a discussion of OSHA requirements for the furnishing and ~ laundering of special clothing for workers engaged in removing asbestos insulation materials, it was agreed that the following proposals would be studied:

2. When feasible such work would be planned for weekends or for shifts having the lowest potential exposure for employees not directly engaged in removal
. 3. The possibility of using single-use disposable coveralls for pro tection against asbestos will be explored.
