02/27/2004 Entry: "Maintenance Update UNDER MERLIN"

An article in the February, Vol. 1, 2004 Maintenance Update UNDER MERLIN on using Micro-Fiber Gloves suggests keeping a pair on the machine for use. This would or could transmit a skin problem from person to person since the same person does not allways clean the same machine and amounts to a potential HEALTH problem.

I have written a note about it to the Update Editor, who I hope will pass it to the MTSC Manager for a change of attitude here and provide each Technician with their own pair of this inexpensive item instead of the chance of passing on a skin condition among those who do the servicing of the Merlin equipment. I advocate that each of those who have this assignment, decline to wear a used pair of these Micro Fiber Gloves as a possible SKIN HEALTH problem,

Please print this message and place it on the Maintenance area Bulletin Boards for your protection.
