Subject /Asbestos Samples - Kaiser Gypsum, Delanco Plant
On June 6, 1974, air samples were taken in the acces sories department. The fiber counts were received from the laboratory today.

The operators during the sampling were:

Jose Rodrigues Walt Taylor Mark James Walt Taylor Jose Rodrigues Walt Taylor
All of the samples except D-4 are below the standard of
5 fibers/cc, and D-4 is only slightly above. However, a time
weighted average for all three samples for Mark Taylor,
Samples D-2, D-4 and D-6, would be 3.4 fibers which is below
the limit.
Because of the peak concentrations considerably above the standard, the workers should continue to wear their masks as an added safety factor and, of course, continue their good work practices.
