2 February 16, 1967 R. J. Ham established, and it shall from time to time review the condition of such facilities and make recommendations to Du Pont for the maintenance therein of current standards in the insulation industry." The purpose, which is obvious, is to attempt to place all responsi bility on the Contractor who should, in fact, have the best knowledge of the hazards and of the means of minimizing the risks. From a practical standpoint, our own standards are probably more demanding than what we will get from the contractors and, in the "consultation" and "advice", we would expect to suggest the "minimum standards" which we believe to be required and would expect the contractor to agree that they are adequate or suggest such additional safe guards as he deems necessary. We expect the reference to "conformant to current industry practice" to serve as a-safeguard against unreasonable demands. As the above provisions are incorporated in the various contracts, the involved site3 will be so notified and each site having an insulation shop will then be required to request the "consultation" and "advice" from the contractor servicing the site. The neces sary instructions as to procedure for handling will be furnished at that time. Any comments or questions as to the above should be referred to this office. \ CJL:nlc uw - - .. DUP 0900810
