MANUFACTURING CHEMISTS ASSOCIATION 1825 CONNECTICUT AVENUE, N.W. WASHINGTON, D. C. 20009 (202) 483-6126 * March 11, 1974 To: TECHNICAL TASK GROUP ON VINYL CHLORIDE RESEARCH Subject: Proposed Work Practices Standard for VCM Polymerization Operations Gentlemen: -The Sub-Task Group on Work Practices under Mr. R. N. Wheeler met Thursday, March 7, and developed the attached draft of a proposed industry recommendation. Please review this draft with your management and submit your comments directly to Mr. Wheeler (Union Carbide Corporation, Chemicals and Plastics Division, P. 0. Box 8004, South Charleston, W. Va. 25303)^, with information copy to me. Your reaction to, and comments, on two sections are particularly solicited: (1) the last sentence of "I. Scope and Application," and (2) the terminology for vinyl chloride as a "Hazardous chemical agent, " rather than its designation as a "cancer suspect agent" or "carcinogen." Discussion at the Thursday meeting and elsewhere indicates that these points remain as not having achieved a clear consensus. Sincerely, * Cu. Kenneth D. Johnson, Ph.D. Secretary Technical Task Group on Vinyl Chloride Research KDJ:mb Attachment CC : Members of the Work Practices Sub-Task Group D. P. Duffield, M.D. Mr. D. M.
