Abstract A walk-through survey as conducted by NIOSH at Avtex Fibers, Inc., Front Royal, Virginia, July 14-15, 1977, to evaluate the plant for possible inclusion in the cross-sectional medical and reproductive effects of exposure to carbon disulfide. Rayon staple fibers, rayon industrial and tire yarns, polyester staple fibers, and sodium-disulfate are produced at the plant. The facility is described, and information is given on the labor force, the personnel record system, and safety, industrial hygiene, and medical programs. Due to the noncontinuity of work for a number of workers, there is a problem in using the plant for the study of the effects on reproduction.
