Johns-Manville, Working With Asbestos: Program Guide for a Cassette/Slide Presentation (1976)

A small folded program guide, copyright 1976, from Johns-Manville's Health, Safety and Environment Department for "Working With Asbestos," a slide and cassette program "on the occupational health risks associated with exposure to asbestos fiber" meant for "every employee who may come into contact with asbestos." Supervisors were told to show it to such employees "as soon as possible," to all employees "at least once every year thereafter," and to all new employees, preferably at safety meetings.

What it shows

The guide asks supervisors to follow the program with a respirator demonstration, encouraging "every employee" to try one on, and to make sure each viewer had a copy of the booklet "What You Should Know About Asbestos and Health" and access to the pamphlet "Recommended Safety Practices for Handling Asbestos Fiber." It also asks that employees be told the results of the latest industrial hygiene survey of airborne fiber levels in their plant, including "how many work stations are under or above present limits." Its companion program is "Industrial Hygiene at J-M".
