Description:Environmental and medical surveys were conducted on April 3, 4, and 24, 1978, to evaluate worker exposures to the chemicals used at the Trans World Airlines Maintenance Shop (SIC-4582) at the Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. The evaluation was requested by an authorized representative of employees of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Lodge Number 1111, on behalf of approximately 80 affected employees. All environmental samples were below evaluation standards. The medical surveys revealed one job related condition, pimples and irritation in nostrils, due to an improperly fitted respirator. The authors conclude that a potential hazard exists due to sporadic and short term exposures to a variety of chemicals. They recommend that the medical program be improved to ensure that worker health is adequately monitored and that the respirator program be improved and updated. [Description provided by NIOSH]
