Kirk E. Martin to J. H. Barrett et al. on OSHA Investigation of Mercury and Vinyl Chloride Complaint at Texas City (1980)

Internal Union Carbide memo reporting an OSHA industrial hygienist's January 29, 1980 investigation at the Texas City plant of an alleged employee complaint about mercury exposure in Bldg. 137 and vinyl chloride exposure around Bldg. 110 (VA-5 Unit). It describes the opening conference, the hygienist's mercury and vinyl chloride spot measurements, and the closing conference, at which he said the complaint had no basis. The memo concerns Texas City vinyl chloride operations, not asbestos.
