C. R. Rotthoff to Attached Distribution List on Asbestos Management in the Specialty Chemicals Division, with Attachment A from R. E. Plevan to D. Liebeskind on Encapsulation of Asbestos (1987)

A March 3, 1987 internal memo from C. R. Rotthoff gave HS&EA guidance on managing asbestos insulation at Specialty Chemicals Division facilities: encapsulation as an option, replacement of damaged insulation, and planned removal under existing regulations. Attached was a memo from R. E. Plevan to D. Liebeskind reporting a conversation with OSHA's Charles Adkins about whether OSHA would ever require removal of in-place asbestos insulation, and concluding there was no reason not to proceed with encapsulation.
