A set of internal company bulletins from an "Operating Division" (Vice Pres.-Operations). General Order 2-5 sets dust-control precautions for plants, respirator requirements and sterilization methods, and recommends pre-employment history and X-ray checks for applicants with possible asbestos or silica exposure. A later revision adds a section on asbestos exposure. The exhibit ends with Information Bulletin 602 on hazardous chemicals used in paint manufacture, whose pages are mirrored or inverted and unreadable in the OCR.
