M. A. Patel to Distribution List on the Amended OSHA Asbestos Standard, with T. E. Hanning's Summary of Changes (1986)

A July 22, 1986 internal memo from Technical Center industrial hygienist Manhar A. Patel reported that OSHA had amended its asbestos standard and attached T. E. Hanning's summary of the changes. The summary covers the lower exposure limit, monitoring, respirators, signs and labels, medical surveillance and record keeping. The rest of the exhibit (pages 8-69, UCC 011672 onward) is made up of 1987 Technical Center distribution lists, organization charts and personnel rosters that do not mention asbestos.
