Johns-Manville Health, Safety & Environment Department Catalog Sheets and Industrial Hygiene at J-M Program Guide (c. 1976)

A 21-page file from J-M's Health, Safety & Environment Department: the cover and sheets of a "Catalog of Occupational/Environmental Health & Safety Programs," with two copies of the program guide for "Industrial Hygiene At J-M," an 80-slide cassette presentation for employees (copyright 1976). The catalog sheets describe J-M's asbestos materials, among them the booklet "What You Should Know About Asbestos and Health," in which "The role of smoking in increasing the lung cancer risk" is emphasized; an eight-page newspaper, "The Asbestos Report"; a 25-minute film and a 20-minute slide program, both called "Working With Asbestos"; the "Occupational Health Guide - Asbestos"; and a poster and leaflet on "Handling Asbestos Fiber." Other sheets cover vinyl chloride (PVC) and the department's bulletins and position papers.

About this copy

The catalog sheets are undated. One says the department's "HS&E Report" would be "Available late 1976," so the catalog is probably from 1976. WARD and the file name call it the 1980-81 catalog, which is a different, later document: Johns-Manville Health, Safety and Environment Catalog of Programs (1980–81). The catalog pages are scanned sideways.
