CCB l> PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT AB-47 July 23, 1972 Works Manager Brakefciok - Lindsay Subject: Lead and Asbestos Study by Ontario Dept, or Health In view o your letter o July 20, 1972 and the information which was forwarded, additional comments are warranted as you indicated. Since your last telephone conversation, I have written the Ontario Department of Health to obtain clarification on their Threshold Limit Values as w^ll as sampling techniques for lead and asbestos. It appears, from reviewing their report No. 15007 A, that we are only in non-compliance relative to lead in one location; however, asbestos appears to exceed the TLV in all locations studied according to their data. In your letter of July 4 you noted eight (8) items which were either under consideration or that you stated you would do at a later date. Have you yet posted notices relative to eating, drinking, etc. in the plant areas? In Item No. 1 you stated these notices would only be posted by the rubber mill and upstairs compound room. However, such a notice should be posted at the entrance to the plant. There should be no eating, drinking, chewing and smoking in the entire plant area. It is possible that these notices, as well as the notice listed on recommendations forwarded by the Ministry of Labor stating dangers involved with lead, etc., could be obtained from the Ministry of Labor. You should inquire of them re lative to obtaining these notices. Also Item NO. 4 in the July 4 letter states you are investi gating the provisions of double locker accommodations, again on the Ministry of Labor recommendations list. This is apparently mandatory. Also in Item 2 you state, "we are improving our housekeeping where possible", that same notice
