A. L. Barefoot to Location Managers on Employee Pulmonary Problems (1987)

A memo marked Business Confidential reporting that Dr. H. C. Lewinsohn of Corporate Medical said at an OSHA/Asbestos meeting in Danbury that employees with asbestosis or other severe pulmonary problems should not work with asbestos materials. Barefoot suggested that locations have medical personnel flag employee medical records showing pulmonary problems, review them with the location doctor, and, where the problem is asbestosis-related or severely impairing, involve Employee Relations and Corporate Medical and take action.
