R. T. Kramer to EP/OH Coordinators Forwarding Cal-OSHA Inspection Correspondence with the Legal Department (1977)

A December 5, 1977 internal memo from R. T. Kramer forwards a September 12, 1977 letter from K. G. Morlock to J. W. Whittlesey of the Law Department about a Cal-OSHA inspection of the Torrance Latex Plant, and Whittlesey's September 29, 1977 reply. The letters discuss whether Cal-OSHA can set an exposure standard for a material with no published TLV after an inspection; the Law Department said it could not do so without a public hearing. A distribution list follows.
