NEW YORK 10017 212/687-2675 February 4, 1975 TO: RE: PVC/VCM Ad Hoc Study Group SPI Committee on Distribution OSHA Required Labeling for PVC and VCM; MEETING NOTICE Gentlemen: As you are aware, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has denied the petitions for review of the OSHA Standard for Exposure to Vinyl Chloride. The Court's decision, issued January 31, 1975, allows 60 days lead time for implementation of the Standard. Accordingly, the new effective date is April 1, 1975. The Working Committee of the PVC/VCM Ad Hoc Study Group met on January 23, 1975, to review the results of the November, 1974 meating of the full Committee and further to determine whether any additional steps may be appropriate. The Working Committee concluded that stan dardization of labeling practices is desirable. Further more, in order to implement a standardized approach and to assure that the recommended approach satisfies the regulation, the Working Committee believes that the indus try should seek to obtain OSHA's concurrence with the recommended approach. The Minutes of the January 23 meeting of the Working Committee are enclosed herewith. In order to further discuss the recommendations of the Working Committee and to discuss other problems of implementation of the OSHA Standard, Chairman Tom Smith has requested a meeting of all members of the PVC/VCM SPI- 09812 2 Ad Hoc Study Group to be held: Tuesday, February 18, 1975 Commencing at 9:30 a.m. MARRIOTT TWIN BRIDGES HOTEL 333 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, Virginia The Marriott Hotel has set aside a block of rooms for this meeting which will be held until Friday, February 14.
