Pundsack LABELING OF TALC PRODUCTS This will confirm my remarks made at this meeting morning's 1 We are currently not labeling any of our talc products which contain between 5 and 35 tremolite asbestos 2 It is my belief that we are in violation of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act as found in Title 2y Chapter XVII Part 1910 Occupational Safety and Health Standards published in the Federal Register Volume 37 No. 110 June 10 1372. This section states in brief that any material that contains fiber must be so labeled asbestos We should also note that within the last two W. R. Grace Company has been cited in the statmeonotfhsWasthhieng- ton by OSHA for marketing vermiculite which contains similar percentages of tremolite without on the baga proper labeling W. B.
