F' �- -� <br /> State of California Pete Wilson, Governor <br /> Department of Industrial Relations <br /> DIVISION OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AN&HEALTH <br /> 1465 Enea Circle, Building E, Suite 900 <br /> Concord, CA 94520-5211 <br /> September 11,1998 <br /> Public Health Services <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> 304 East Weber Ave. , Third Floor <br /> Stockton, California 95202 <br /> Attn; Karen Furst, M.D. , M.P.H. , Health Officer <br /> On August 11, 1998 the Division on Occupational Safety and Health (Division) <br /> received a referral requesting assistance to inspect the S.F. Royster Tire <br /> Disposal Facility, located in Tracy, California for possible safety and health <br /> violations to which two employees were exposed. <br /> On August 12, 1998 the Division attempted to open an inspection at the S.F. <br /> Royster Tire Disposal Facility. At that time the facility was chained, locked <br /> and posted with "NO TRESPASSING" signs. In addition, there were no employees <br /> working on site. The jurisdiction of the Division is restricted to employee- <br /> employer relationships. Several attempts, through various sources were made to <br /> locate Mr. Silas Royster, owner of the facility. <br /> The Division did learn that the two employees seen entering the facility by the <br /> County on August 11, 1998 may have been Mr. Silas Roysters son-in-laws. It's <br /> possible that the son-in-laws are also employees, but at this time there is not <br /> enough information to make that determination. Subsequently, the employer, Mr. <br /> Silas Royster has died of cancer. <br /> Due to the lack of documented employee exposure, and the death of the employer, <br /> the Division has made a determination to close this case. If you have any <br /> questions, or if you receive additional information regarding the S.F. Royster <br /> company, please call or write this office. <br /> Thank-you for your continuing efforts to promote employee safety and health on <br /> the job. <br /> ncer , <br /> ve Strick er, District Manager <br /> Concord District Office <br /> DS/ru <br />
