Letter from Drilling Specialties Company to the OSHA Assistant Secretary about the use of chrysotile asbestos as an additive in oil well drilling muds. It says the OSHA asbestos standard is overly broad for drilling sites and reports on-site monitoring of its Flosal DMA product that showed exposures below the 2 f/cc PEL. It also says the medical examination, monitoring and record-keeping requirements are unnecessary and impractical for drilling.
