K . J* SkeggB Esq, Messrs. Turners Asbestos Cement Co Ltd, Trafford la rk , Manchester.17. Dear U r. Skeggs. I hop you tr ill forgive me for troubling ou T5TIt I thou^it you oould perhaps give ms some guidance on the fallow ing Insurance problem:- j Among certain d e ta ils which have cropped up with the Insurance Company who have our Vorkmen's Compensation Policy is th question whether special cover is applicable for those o f our employees who are engaged in cutting to required eiso6 your lOILITE Asboutos-oement sheets. ; Included are d r illin g o f holes, f ilin g o f edges and surface sanding. j / o 17hen producing a t our old works at Bill-Q uay as LA.C0TILS LTD. wo had of course periodical v is it s from the Factory Inspector and the Factory Doctor and i t was never suggested that we should come into the Asbestosis Scheme or lt e Medical Arrangements Scheme, the Home o ffic e inspectors merely showing interest in the e ffic ie n cy o f our dust extraction arrangements. Our Insurance Company's eh ief concern seems to be to decide whether the operations described in para 2 (vi) o f the Aebestosfcs Scheme (S.R.& 0.1931.No.344) are neutralised by para 2 (b) on the grounds that your sheets though not composed o f woven asbestos contains asbestos combined with a large proportion (we have indicated approximately 88%) o f oement and that th is constitutes a bond o f an adhesive nature. * Tilth kind regards and appreciating very much any infbm ation you oan le t me have on the m atter. . ` ' feiW *L V > W : \ \
