Recent news releases by B. F. Goodrich that they are investigating cancer deaths of workers at its polyvinyl chloride operations which may be related to the use of or handling of Vinyl Chloride Monomer, is of concern to PPG.
Enclosed for your consideration is a copy of PPG's written statement to the U. S. Dept, of Labor (OSHA) for inclusion in the official record of recent hearings relative to the establishment of work practices for handling Vinyl Chloride Monomer.
PPG issued a statement dated February 8, 1974 to its employees, customers and other interested parties. A copy of this was sent to your Company by our Sales Division. A copy of this statement is attached as part of PPG's statement to OSHA.
As new information, including recommended work practices and handling procedures, becomes available, this will be provided to you.
Very truly yours.
