Memo from W. C. Young to J. E. Kidd, with copies to eight others including a physician, about the plant's use of asbestos-containing welding blankets. It says the plant Environmental Protection Department endorses substitution as a health hazard control measure but would continue using asbestos blankets if no suitable substitute were available. In that case, it says, special work practices and exposure monitoring would be needed. The attachment is a W. S. Libbey Co. advertisement for asbestos-free Nomex aramid cloths, tapes and insulating materials.
