FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE, INC., c-210 ROUTE 4, PARAMUS, N. J. 07652 Lay 22, 1975 PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT AB-289 To: Asbestos Study Committee Subject: Recent Distributione--Relative to CSHA Asbestos Standard At the April 23, 1975 meeting, your Chairman, Mr. Weaver volunteered to send in data on the Nilfisk Industrial Vacuum Cleaner and the recent AIHA- ACG1H paper on the membrane filter method. This paper included two pages on a guard or shroud attached to the filter holder to protect the filter from picking up fibers from the wearer's clothing or from a falling fiber that would ordinarily not be oreathed into the respiratory tract. These two Items are important for (l) cleaning up the workplace to 'educe airborne fiber concentrations and (2) to more accurately pick up fibers for purposes of counting. Copies of the literature forwarded by Mr. leaver are included with this memo. In addition, I prepared a BULLETIN NO. 533 to the Membership and there will be some enclosures with that bulletin. I will try not to duplicate the enclosures. In addition, I am forwarding two articles which may be of interest to the Committee. These also were sent in by Mr. Weaver: "Insulation Hygiene Progress Reports", a publication from Mt. Sinai (I. J. Selikoff, M. D.) The main article is "Asbestos Disease can Spread to Workers' Families". "The Regulated and the Regulator" by Leo Teplow of Organjz&JLion Resources Counselors, Inc. In particular, please note his section entitled "What the Manager Can Do in Industrial Safety and Health...Before the Doctor Comes". The foregoing is for your information. e'.D/erc enclosure: E. '!.
