Internal Union Carbide memo in which an industrial hygienist reviewed the September 1986 revision of Safety/Health Technology Manual practice SH-256 against OSHA's amended asbestos standards effective July 21. He explained the difference between the General Industry (1910.1001) and Construction (1926.58) standards, noted that most asbestos work at UCC facilities falls under the Construction standard, which SH-256 did not address, and recommended another revision. A 39-page side-by-side comparison of the two standards is attached.
