H. B. Rhodes to R. E. Byrne, Jr. and Others on OSHA Regulations for Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica (1975)

Internal memo from H. B. Rhodes of the "Calidria" Asbestos department reporting that NIOSH had sent OSHA its criteria document for a crystalline silica regulation. It describes the proposed regulation, says RG-144 and RG-244 were checked and no crystalline silica was found, and reports secondhand information that sanding a finished tape joint would exceed the limit.
