Respirators approved for toxic dusts and organic vapors are supplied to the men, who
are periodically reminded to clean them, change filters, etc.
A new covered chute for charging dry materials into mixer has been designed. Rags have
to ire silt open inside the chute, which fits snugly into the mixer openings. This increases
the effectiveness of the IV. Hr. Dugery said'the'IEV system will eventually be remodeled,
hut not right away.
`
A/ftjajor clean-up pperation is in progress. In somefplaces, 2 or 3 inches of aspha.ltastgfefJo'ik "gookn has been chipped off the floor All storage areas have been swept out. {Two)>4strial vacuums are on order, haven't come yet) ,All material in bags is now blcrvm off before it enters the plant and kept on pallets in an attempt to reduce breakage. Open or broken bags are to be used first. Overhead structures will bo cleaned witn the vacuum cleaner. One Saturday men wore respirators ard blew out rafters with air hoses, then swept it off the floor, but this got too messy. Hr. Dugery said it will be a slow process, no cleaning has been done for 20 years. Workers are not'enthusiastic about having to spend the extra minutes to be careful, but from the appearance of the mixing area, they are doing a good job. I'r. Dugery said "come back in 6 months".
i
All nw rzployca && sent for chest x-rays. Starting right aftor vacation season, workers will be driven by carload into Center City for an X Ray, Mr. Dugory says hopefully the vf)ifil1 nreo1irur.o t'r,oir families to go also.
A r fr/ovill be done to determine the effeotivoness of tho control measures.

Resurvey to determine effectiveness ofModifications to charging procedures.
Conditions Asply were much less dusty than during previous survey* Several lar&e
in bags of a sbfcatk>i had to be dumped directlylnto floor opening, workdr: shook bag completely witIT.
IV hood, duat\appeared to be well captured;* Then-an enclosed chute is shoved into opening,
fits tightly, Worker slits asbestos bag, 'ahake3"it dowri'chute','" Some dust still is visible,
but most is captured by LP7J. Workers area, charging mixer1.or handling empty bags, wore
approved respirators which, were...clean and-in-good-condition.-------- --------
Mr, Chew has replaced Mr. Dugery, i3 too now to know just what is being done. He appears
to be cuite a "bug" on housekeeping, said he will'nave.out.what.happened to the vacuum
cleaner on order. Several 'workers have been sent for chest x-rays, the rest will be sent
3O0R.
Dust levels turned out low, 4.6 mppcf during charging less than 3 mppcf with no
charging.
