Dear Dr. Kehoes
.
1-fenfred Bowditch of the Lead Industry Association suggested
that you might be able to offer some recommendations pertinent to
our problem. *
'
We are confronted with a pneumoconiosis problem in our,
diatomaceous earth operation at Lompoc, California. Through clinical
data there and experimental research at Saranac Laboratory, our
knowledge has increased through the years to the point that we
currently recognize the potentials involved, particularly in flux-
calcined material and the attendant conversion to cristobalite form
of silica. The particular problem of the moment is that of
determining a method of presentation of our. current knowledge to our
plani employees. We have been thinking in terms of a pictorial,
graphic, lecture presentation to our employees in fairly large groups.
Before embarking on this method, however, it would be desirable if
we might gain from the experience of others who have employed this
or other methods.
'
. If you have had such experience or know of others who may have had, I would appreciate greatly your comments and suggestions as to the value of approaches which might be used.
..
Yours very truly,
ii. M. J4PK30N Safety Engineer
