R. W. Rebholz to W. C. Kuryla on Developing a New Label for Metals Division Asbestos Products (1982)

Internal memo from R. W. Rebholz to Dr. W. C. Kuryla asking his group to develop a new label for the Metals Division's asbestos products in place of the OSHA-mandated bag label, and to give an opinion on whether the British distinction in exposure limits among asbestos minerals is justified on medical grounds. Attached are a handwritten note from John Myers to Rebholz about a bag label, a bag label page, and a reprint of the OSHA asbestos regulation (29 CFR 1910.1001).
