FILE NAME Quebec Asbestos Mining Association QAMA DATE 1977 Apr DOC QAMA149 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION QAMA Bulletin Vol 1 No. 2 Asbestos and Qu^'bec'seconomic development In its study of the Qu^'becasbestos industry commissioned in 1973 by the Departmenotf Natural Resources and presented in report form in 1975 the Department's division of Mineral Economy and Development made special mention of the fact that commercialization of Qu^'bec asbestos by the companies is presently being conducted with great efficiency The report also warns the Government against the danger of dis- rupting integration with the world economy which is a characteristic of the Qu^'becindustry and on which it depends for stability and growth which according to the author could lead in addition to the elimination to all intents and purposes of private capital inflow in the future expansion of the industry in Qu^'- bec The provisional balance sheet for production and sales of mining companies in 1976 shows to what extent asbestos commercialization is car- ried out with great efficiency and the investment programs in which the industry is presently engaged at a cost of tens of millions of dollars attest to the importance of the inflow of private capital Contributions to the State But neither the report nor most documents studies and press articles published since then mention the economic benefits accruing in Qu^'bec as a result of these performances with respect to commercialization and capital inflow Thus it is too often ignored that the asbestos mining industry by virtue of its efficiency and stable prices markets and their maturity contributes more to the Qu^'bec Treasury than all the other mining sectors In fact Qu^'becincome from asbestos mines alone represents 60 of all income derived from the entire Qu^'becmining industry In 1976 asbestos companies will have paid the State in mining rights company income taxes and other provincial taxes over 40 million Salaries However this is only one aspect of the industry's contribution to the Qu^'bececonomy Thanks to full employment policy it provides work to more than 6,500 persons who are also payers who share salaries totalling over 100 million Company disbursements for the various social benefit programs - retirement and pension plans worksmen's Compensation Board unemployment insurance etc. amount to close to 20 million to which should be added substantial sums which the industry devotes to scientific and medical research for the development of health conditions at work On the other hand the performance of these mining activities concentraled in five Eastern Township localities directly benefits 000 inhabitants of this Qu^'bec region which essentially depends on the asbestos industry Purchasing policy Furthermore the asbestos indus- try in doing business with some 290 Qu^'becsuppliers spread among the mining communities the adjoining cities and the major centres like Qu^'bec and Montr^'al purchases nearly 85 million worth of goods and services annually in Qu^'bec In this way in total the asbestos compagnies about 340 300 million whose 1976 sales are million injected some into the national econ- omy LBulletin| McGill and Industrial Health The Occupational Health and Safety Unit of Montr^'al's McGill Uni- versity is currently conducting im- portant research studies dealing particularly with dust elimination identification of dangers associated with the use of chemical products and the health of workers in the asbestos industry The Institute of Occupational Medicine of Montreal an organization created by the Qu^'bec Asbestos Mining Association recently commissioned the department to conduct two research projects to be financed by the Institute The first project deals with the methods used to decrease the concentration of asbestos fibres in respirable air using electrically water droplets sprayed from aerosol cans the second will be conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Occu- pational Medicine of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine of the University of London It will deal mainly with incidences of death and radiological changes among employees working in the asbestos mining industry A multidisciplinary team McGill University's Occupational Health and Safety Unit is headed by Dr Graham Gibbs Industrial Hygienist and groups together doc- tors engineers and experts in other various fields such as microbiology and geology The unit is geared to study all aspects of the industrial environment susceptible to affect the health and safety of workers The Department's principal laboratory facilities are located al Mont SI Hilaire near Montreal and include two experimental units to study exposure to dust and highlyperfected equipment to check the efficiency of respirators Experts study the effects produced by vari- ous levels of illumination the performance of ventilation systems and dust and noise measuring and control devices In addition to formulating and making recommendations relative to industrial health the McGill department cooperates with industry regarding implementation and development of equipment needed to improve hygienic and health working conditions Industrial doctors practice occupational medicine Dr.
