D. E. Deese to Distribution on OSHA Respiratory Protection Requirement for Asbestos Tear-Out (1972)

Memo from the Gulf Coast Area senior industrial hygienist to a list of Union Carbide recipients reporting OSHA's interpretation of respiratory protection for asbestos tear-out or removal. It states that OSHA's Delbert Flowers, in a letter to Humble Oil & Refining Company, said type "C" supplied-air or demand respirators are required under the June 7, 1972 Permanent Standard, and that the writer had hoped the required respirator would depend on dust concentration.
