R. R. Rankin to General Occupational Health Committee Transmitting OSHA Special Emphasis Program for Asbestos, with Handwritten Notes (1984)

Internal Union Carbide memo of September 6, 1984 from R. R. Rankin forwarding OSHA Instruction CPL 2.60A, the revised National Emphasis Program for asbestos inspections. Rankin says the directive requires each OSHA Area Director to schedule 10 asbestos inspections this fiscal year and expects asbestos inspections to increase. Handwritten notes by Mike Cleverdon and W. P. Fethke ask whether Chickasaw and Tarrytown would be involved and what could be shown that asbestos is not used there. The attachment is the 10-page OSHA instruction and the GOHC distribution list.
