L. E. Calvert Wang-to-Wang Safety Alert on Inadequate Atmospheres in Asbestos Work Enclosures, with J. A. Amos R&D Memo on Asbestos Removal Guidelines (1987)

A May 27, 1987 "Wang to Wang" safety alert from Larry E. Calvert says two Union Carbide locations had incidents with potential personnel exposure to inadequate atmospheres in enclosures built for work on asbestos-containing materials. It asks locations to make sure testing is done for oxygen, explosion limits and TLV requirements, and is followed by its distribution list and a May 1987 R&D memo from J. A. Amos circulating a draft asbestos removal, repair or renovation paper for review.
