ccb CCO At the request of c. B. Mallory, the Plant Manager, I went to . Winches ter-PPG on Friday, June 6, 1975 to meet Harold Pauly, the OSHA Industrial Hygienist from Richmond, Virginia while he was completing the plant survey and to he available for the close-out interview. I spent the majority of the day with Pauly while he collected the last five of his samples, all from Strip Finishing. I found him to be a congenial individual, not prone to crusading or officiousness. Pauly has about 10 years' experience in Industrial Hygiene with a previous background in Geology. Their methods of sampling correspond to ours in that they take several short term samples over an extended time period at each operation, if filter loading is likely. The main difference is that they attempt to sample for a full shift whereas we limit our sampling to 2, 2%, or 3 hours. He does not remain in constant attendance at the sampling sites. Bob Brown stated.that on Thursday, June 5, 1975, Pauly had given samplers to him and Charles Curtis to place on some of the employees. They apparent ly also turned on the pumps and recorded the time. This is not a usual practice for Industrial Hygienists, and is open to criticism although none was extended. During the course of our conversation, Pauly indicated that the asbestos samples would also be checked for lead. This could be significant as there are some locations including Compounding,. Blok Finish, and Blok Preform which show chronic excursions which parallel elevated asbestos levels. In relation to asbestos exposures, he also indicated that they might request the release of some of our chest X-rays for in spection. I assume that this would be for long term employees in high exposure areas. He made few comments regarding our own Industrial Hygiene surveys except to say that they appeared to be thorough and showed asbestos exposures at some locations. He was unaware however, that elevated levels existed at Blok Finish and Disc Brake Manufacture and had not sampled there. I didn't volunteer the information. However, he did take pictures of all areas in the plant including the above locations, but most particularly at his sampling sites. SPIM 1580
