Godbey, F W

Health-hazard control methods, work processes, and existing control technologies used in the manual transfer of chemical powders were evaluated at Corning Glassworks, Harrodsburg, Kentucky in May, 1984. The company employed 300 workers involved in the manufacture of ophthalmic glass lenses and glass sheets. The main dry ingredients were silica, lead, zinc, nickel, copper, arsenic, and fluorides. The author does not recommend an in depth study of the control technologies at this company since no unique state of the art methods are used.
