Mead, M.D. Chief Medical Officer Subject: Air Q u a l i t y in the Engine Bui l d - U p Shop in W a ycross On July 22, 1981, a r e q u e s t was made by Mr. O.G. Wood, Wayc r o s s Shop S u p e r i n t e n d e n t , to sample and e v a l u a t e air q u a l i t y in the Engine Bui 1d-Up S h o p . This r e q u e s t resulted from a complaint filed by the local machinist union. The primary concerns were asbestos exposure from gasket material and organic vapors from the solvent SCLI M0-8L. The air sampling can be done at a cost of $750 to $850. This would provide the sampling media, extra pumps, and analysis. The analysis would be done by a certified i n d u s trial hygiene lab and is the m ajor cost. T h e s e costs must be paid by Waycross Shop or Mechanical Department funds. Due to the nature of this study, from Labor Relations, Mechanical, and tc any sampling being done. gui d a n c e is requested Law Departments prior Mark E.

Stringfellow Chief Mechanical Officer On August 10 and VI, 1901, our industrial hygienist conducted an air sampling survey at the Waycross Shop. This survey was requested by Mr. 0. G. Wood, Waycross Shop Superintendent, to determine air quality in the Engine Buildup Shop. The sampling results indicated that the airborne concentrations for asbestos fibers and mineral spirits vapor were within currently acceptable exposure limits. Details of the study may be found in the attached report. No further control measures are recommended at this time. If you have any questions, please contact my office at ext. 1500 or Mr. M. E. Badders at ext. 1531 in Jacksonville for further information. C. A. Mead,' M. D. Chief Medical Officer cc: Mr. 0 . G. Wood . yyv. V'V-V y; V r./ y;, VyV'gVc . y;y.-v> ..-cy-
