GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15213 BARBER v. PITTSBURGH CORNING COR? ASBESTOS LITIGATION DEPARTMENT Of OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH July 29, 1968 Lee B. Grant, M.D. Medical Director Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company One Gateway Center Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 r7 Dear Lee: Subject: Port Allegheny Plant, Pittaburgh^Corning Corporation After our meeting of July 3 I met, a\^he earliest opportunity, with Dr. Belding and relayed the materials relative to the potential h at stress situation at this plant. The comments by Dr. Belding are en closed and are self-explanatory. \/ With regard to asbestos exposuresVt this plant, it seems to me that the first step should be the^essesjsment of the facility at this point in time. The U.S.P.H.S. surve^sgc April, 1967 and results from earlier Foundation surveys, Including my own (April, 1966), should not be the basis for current recommendations for alteration of facili ties. Earlier findings dyf suggest the areas to be looked at closely and ar_ valuable from thiissN\s^tandpoint. Therefore, if acceptabJliet! "CUb you. Dr. Belding and I propose that we spend August 27 at tlje plant. He will drive up on the evening of the 26th, and can;sifnecessary, remain over for the 28th. During this period I would\ia,ce measurements of asbestos dust concentrations and also check the present ventilation system. Dr. Belding would also make preliminary measurements. The purpose of this trip would be to obtain a cWSr enough view of the situation to propose future detailed studies or design. The consultation fee during this visit would be $200 per day each plus expenses.^**WmIings would be summarized in a report. As soon as we receive authorization from you, we will proceed with planning for the visit. Sincerely, yours. MC:ng Enclosure Ph.c. IIS DOCUMENT WAS NOT A RECORD Or - -tm iCARIES, INC.
