A Reichhold Chemicals inter-office memo from White Plains summarizing OSHA regulation 1910.93(a) requirements (exposure limits, respirators, clothing, monitoring, signs, medical exams) for using asbestos as a thixotropic agent in polyester resins. It is followed by draft form letters to a waste contractor and a laundry, a medical-exam waiver form, and a one-page RCI asbestos handling procedure. The memo also discusses how to respond if union complaints arise over accidental spills.
