D. R. Crowell II to C. R. Rotthoff on Use of Negative Pressure Enclosures for Asbestos Operations, with R. D. Ondocsin's OSHA Asbestos Standard Memo (1987)

A Union Carbide Law Department memo of January 27, 1987 reports a conversation with Bob Ondocsin on whether negative pressure enclosures are required when mastic is reapplied over asbestos insulation. It says OSHA reads the asbestos standard broadly and that detailed monitoring data would be needed to show the action level is not exceeded. It is followed by an attached January 15, 1987 memo from R. D. Ondocsin relaying OSHA clarifications of the construction asbestos standard.
