We appreciate your cooperation in coming at our request to help us evaluate the prime coat which we had under consideration. As you know, for the tests we deliberately picked the worst conditions available in our attempt to arrive at a reasonable eval uation on the effect of the paint. ' - , -.V < As we discussed in your office, the following action has been or is being taken on the recommendations contained in your report. 1. We have made significant changes in our ventilating techniques and are now placing emphasis on general area ventilation. Greater use will be made of our ljiiO Volt blowers which move air at a rate of up to 15,000 cfm. Methods of placing these blowers and make up air holes, which will reduce the need of local exhaust, are being Sought. In areas where air flows do not meet standards, local exhaust ventilation will be used. 2. All employees who have occasion to use local exhaust are 4 . instructed in its proper use. Incidentally, we are using U.S.A. Standard L9*1 "Safety in Welding & Cutting" as our guide in establishing our ventilation program, Very truly yours, ' Lloyd J.^Piccin Safety Director '* H l ' .7 h v\ 1 ' * * 1 : I
