Hr. C.L. Sheelder* Chairman of the Sxvlranmantal Study Committee* reviewed for the benefit of the Board several developments that have taken place alnee the last meeting. Ha again stressed that his committee aets'only la an advisory capacity, the highlights of his ramarles* (unedited b y ltr. Sheckler) follow Confidential Infonnation is that the .S.?.B. Service is preparing ' Position Paper on health aspects of asbestos* and Hr. Sheckler has reviewed a draft of sama* 3PES gives opinion that asbestos hazard can bs controlled except for mesothellma. Question of what Threshold Value should be established for asbestos reviewed. British Standards of number bf fibers per oo (2 or 12 fibers per ee have been suggested)- compromise may be o fibers per ee whioh means one million partiles par cublo foot. Doss not know when D5PE5 papar will be published but thinks In about six months* possibly* In his opinion the asbestos Industry should be defended by an association rather than b y an Individual company. Mr* Sheckler met recently with Dr. Selikoff* also representatives of respiratory safety equipment manufacturers* end representatives of the TJ.S. Bureau of Minas. An Improved protective respiratory device has been developed but It will not be marketed until* or unless* It is approved by the U.3. Bureau of Unes. This might be next July however the Bureau of ilnes will not give specific approval for asbestos dust- but rather for silicates (?) which in Hr. Sheckler'a view would be acceptable. He pointed out that the plant should have a respirator maintenance program* meaning a olean filter every day,eto. This is more of a problem on construction joba than for in-plant workers. Several companies have prototypes of respirators* including J/M, awaiting U.3. Bureau of Mines approval. In respect to the Havy's search for a substitute for asbestos cloth as well as other asbestoe products* Hr. Sheckler Is under the opinion that the Navy does not necessarily want non-asbestos products, but elimination of dust is their primary objective. Commenting on legislation - present and pending - Mr. Sheckler mentioned that compensation cases were hot decreasing - quite the contrary in factI lamination of the employees in J/H`a Harshville,n.C. plant is presently underway by the U.3. ?.IT.Service, and acceptance by the employees there has been excellent. Minutes - Board of Governor's Meeting, October 9, 1969 Page -h- Mr* Sheckler raised the question of whether it would be desirable t o have Dr. Selikoff as the Guest Speaker at an A.?.I. meeting. Hr. Rainey felt that we should defer it as timing was not right. It was the concensus of the Board that any invitation to Dr. Selikoff should be deferred. Also that if* and when* invited to speak that Dr. Selikoff agree there would be no publicity release in connection with his talk at the Institute meeting; T h e cjUestion of preparing a Position Paper on asbestos was discussed. Mr. Rainey thought that the restructured former Sales Promotion Committee might undertake it. Mr. Sheckler offered to he l p but not rtx> accept responsibility for the undertaking* The Position Paper*or booklet, would be fox* the benefit of customers* and by means of it nil companies would be in a position to advise their clients, custom ers, and the general public* of the many uses of and recommended procedures for the safe handling of asbestos textile products. All agreed that such a booklet would be most desirable* Hr. Sheckler showed a booklet put out by HII-IA (national Insulation Mfgrs. Assoc.) saying that the format was excellent* and that a booklet on asbestos textiles might be modeled along the same lines. It was agreed that the idea of a booklet, or Position Paper, on asbestos textiles should be pursued at a subsequent meeting. lh.
