• Description:
  A survey was conducted at Tenneco Chemicals, Inc. (SIC-2819) in Fords, New Jersey on October 8, 1976 to determine if a more detailed industrial hygiene survey to quantify worker exposure to benzyl- chloride (100447) was justified. The facility employed 200 workers of which 154 were operating and maintenance workers. Preemployment and exit physicals were required of all employees and a complete blood test was performed every quarter. A physician and full time nurse were employed on site and the facility had a formalized safety program. The drumming of benzyl-chloride conducted at this facility involved only one worker and one supervisor. Worker and environmental air sampling during drumming detected no significant amounts of benzyl-chloride. The author concludes that, due to low employee exposure, there is no need for a more detailed study of this facility. [Description provided by NIOSH]
