摘要

Walter E. Porter, with Mr. Gary Jacks of the Air Force Engineering and Services Center, visited Osan Air Base, Korea, August 27 through September 3, 1989. The purpose of this visit was to evaluate the quality and content of instruction of Air Force personnel (presented by the University of Kansas National Asbestos Training Center under contract to Oak Ridge Associated Universities) in conducting inspections/surveys for asbestos hazards in buildings and other Air Force facilities and in developing asbestos Management and Operating plans for their respective Bases. By virtue of sitting for the required examination, Mr. Porter qualified as an Environmental Protection Agency accredited Asbestos Inspector and Management Planner. During September 3 through September 7, Mr. Porter and Mr. Jacks visited Yokota Air Base, Japan, and held a series of meetings with key personnel to review drafts of the Asbestos Management Plan and the Operating Plan for the Base. Extensive modifications were necessary because of significant changes in roles and responsibilities of various organizational units of Yokota.
