A December 15, 1983 memorandum from W. C. Young summarizes the points of OSHA's emergency temporary asbestos standard (effective November 4, 1983) that would affect plant operations. For each change (the 0.5 f/cc limit, employee training, respirator limits) it gives a plant status comment. Attached are a page of OSHA's estimate of employee exposure to asbestos and two pages of the emergency standard's text, both from the Occupational Safety & Health Reporter dated 11-10-83.
