S13EC I F I C REWEST.(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGRCZUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request a full investigation by the
Health.'.Department on a reported asbestos problem at USS-POSCO.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An incident has been reported
regarding an asbestos. problem at USS-POSCO. In this particular case,
large chucks of asbestos fell from the roof at USS-POSCO and were
disposed of. I believe the county and the, Board of Supervisors should
know where this material was disposed. By current law, I understand
OSHA should have received some kind of a filing or report on this
incident. So far no one has been able to find a record of such a
report.
Staff should be directed to contact Greg Feere, Business
Manager for Insulators and Asbestos Workers Local, who has further
information regarding this matter.
