Short article in the October 1962 issue of Safety Review, the Navy Department's safety periodical, by Capt. H. M. Robbins (Medical Corps, USN) and industrial hygienist W. T. Marr of Long Beach Naval Shipyard. It recalls the 1940s survey of shipyard pipe coverers that judged the work relatively safe, and stresses that asbestosis appears only after many years. It reports dust counts in the shipyard's pad shop (5 to 20 mppcf before wetting and ventilation) and up to 200 mppcf during rip-out aboard ship. It urges wet methods and respirators and describes a taped interview with a former employee disabled by asbestosis. The file holds the issue cover and the one-page article.
