Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report No. 74-86-269: Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation: Newark, Ohio
No full textEnvironmental surveys and employee interviews were conducted on October 29 to 31, 1974, and June 16 to 18, 1975, to evaluate the exposure of employees to dust, fumes, and smoke at the Owens Corning Fiberglas Corporation facility in Newark, Ohio (SIC-3296). The evaluation was requested by an authorized employee representative on behalf of the approximately 750 affected employees. Airborne concentrations of fibrous glass and dried binder dust, phenol (108952), formaldehyde (50000), and ammonia (7664417) vapors were determined to be below their respective evaluation criteria in all areas examined. The airborne concentration of free silica (7631869) was 79 micrograms per cubic meter. The author concludes that concentrations of airborne contaminants are not hazardous to employees under the conditions observed, but the exposure of the paint mixing operator in the chemical factory to airborne free silica may pose a potential hazard.

Health Hazard Evaluation Determination Report HE 78-125-712: Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation: Conroe, Texas
No full textEnvironmental and medical surveys were conducted on November 8, 1978, and July 19 and 20, 1979, to evaluate employee exposure to methylene-chloride (75092), methyl-ethyl-ketone (78933), styrene (100425), fibrous glass, silica (7631869) and nuisance particulate matter at the Owens Corning Fiberglas Corporation in Conroe, Texas. (SIC-2221) The evaluation was requested by an authorized representative of the United Paperworkers International Union on behalf of the approximately 157 affected workers. All of the environmental air samples were well below current OSHA standards. Methylene-chloride concentrations ranged from 18 to 85 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3), below the OSHA standard of 1750mg/m3; methyl-ethyl-ketone ranged from 4 to 20mg/m3, below the OSHA standard of 590mg/m3; styrene ranged from 65 to 200mg/m3, below the OSHA standard of 420mg/m3; fibrous glass concentrations were less than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter, below the NIOSH standard of 3.0 fibers per cubic centimeter; silica (quartz/cristobalite) ranged from undetectable to 0.33mg/m3, below the OSHA standard of 30mg/m3; and nuisance particulate matter ranged from 0.3 to 4.7mg/m3, below the OSHA standard of 15mg/m3. The author concludes that no hazardous exposures existed at the time of the evaluation. He recommends that fibrous glass and styrene workers have preplacement medical examinations.

Creating ePub eBooks to Enhance Student Learning
No full textFor the past decade or so, I have created primary document readers for my class using copyright-permitted documents or documents where the author has granted permission for educational purposes. These would usually be about 200-300 pages. I would send them to the copy center for binding and then these would be sold in the bookstore to the students. The cost to the student was about $15-20.
There were three issues that were of concern. First, these books were not too expensive, but I was exploring ways to move the sourcebooks online so the students did not have this cost. Also, there were always problems determining how many sourcebooks to order since some students would share. Unsold books were charged to my department. Second, I wanted the students to be able to have the documents in class during discussion. This would necessitate having the documents in a format where they would be available on multiple devices - phones, laptops, tablets, iPads, Nooks, etc. Third, I did not want to simply link to the documents due to the fact that online links sometimes disappear. I also wanted the students to be able to work offline in case they did not have access to the Internet
