A list showing common places in which you may expect to find asbestoscontaining materials in your plant and an attachment giving the pre cautions that must be taken when these materials are worked with, or * when they are removed and disposed.

This survey and replacement program is intended to increase everyone*s aware ness and should be covered with plant personnel, especially maintenance, engineering, and purchasing.
