Internal memo from the Institute Plant Industrial Hygiene department transmitting an updated procedure for protecting personnel against inhaling asbestos fibers and complying with OSHA Regulation 1910-1001. It says asbestos insulation use at the plant was phased out in 1974, restates the OSHA fiber limits, and asks to be notified of demolition or removal above set quantities. The attached 'Mandatory Precautions and Procedures' cover respirators, work-area barriers, clothing, cleanup, bagging and disposal, medical surveillance, warning wording and air-sampling records.
