NWM PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT BRK-6 Inland. Division of General Motors Corporation P.Q. Box 1224 Dayton Ohio 45401 December 3, 1980 Hr. Glen Davis Industrial Coamission of Ohio Division of Safety and Hygiene 246 North High Street P. 0. Box 16512 Columbus, Ohio 43216 Dear Mr. Davis: Attached you will find information relating to Mr. Clarence Noble and his past working history and exposure. I will discuss each area, in detail, relating to the questions asked of us in our meeting held in November, 1980. TDI Exposure - Department 75 Mr. Noble was employed in department 75, July 24, 1964 through September 9, 1964. Specific information relating to Mr. Noble's alleged exposure is not available and the department no longer exists, at Inland. Exposure to Wood Alcohol - Dept. 840 *At no time has wood alcohol been used in Department 740 (now Dept. 840) Brake Hose. Exposure to Steam, Oil Mist - Dept. 710 There is no such environment in the ball Joint stamping area, now titled Dept. 810. The oil that is used when necessary is an oil-water mixture (called milk). The heavy presses are closed and automated. The operators function would be to keep them loaded with the cold rolled steel. job Exposure to Dusts - "Plant is Dusty" This is a very general description to try and pinpoint. To my knowledge the areas to which Mr. Noble was assigned had no specific p >blems with dust. Exposure to Diesel Lift Trucks Diesel Lift Trucks aro used sparingly at Inland. The majority of our lift trucks are battery operated. The few gasoline and diesel trucks we have are restricted to high bay areas and outside the plant. In the punch press area we have mechanical hoists, as well as battery operated carts which are used to move material. Finished parts can be removed to other areas using diesel :s Have any questions on insurance coverage? Ask us. V* Inland. Division of General Motors Corporation To: Mr. Glen Davis Pegt: 2 tote 12-3-80 or gasoline operated trucks. Because of a number of various factors, their use has not been a problem in this area. In regards co the reference of "dipping foam strips" in 1953: if you have a more detailed description it may be possible to put something together. I am afraid at this point too many years and too little detail prevent me from providing any other data. JLB/TFJ/pg Enclosures File T. J. Jelenek Senior Industrial Hygienist Health and Safety CL***.
