Executive Officer to the DDA
SUBJECT: Asbestos in Remington Rand Safes
REFERENt'~: Memo for DDO fm DDA dtd 20 Dec 84,
Subject: Replacement of Asbestos Content Safes
Herb,
As you know, due to the concern raised by the DDO, we have just
reviewed again the status of Remington Rand safes containing asbestos.
Referent memorandum was forwarded to the DDO after consultation with
you, the Office of Medical Services, and the Office of Logistics.
Hopefully, this has satisfied the DDO concerns over the potential
health hazard of the Remington Rand safe. I believe that what we need
to do now is to make sure that all Agency employees are aware that
these safes do not pose a serious health hazard.
2. In this regard, I would like for you to prepare an employee
bulletin outlining the findings of Safety Staff and Office of Medical
Services from the several reviews that have been conducted of the
Remington Rand safe asbestos problem. Also, you should explain the
replacement program that has been underway for several years and our
plans to continue this effort.
