Correspondence and papers re the activities of the OEDA Working Party, in particular the preliminary report and action plan delivered by management consultant Michael Anderson, 1993.
Correspondence and papers re delivery of a functional analysis of OEDA and a business plan, in time for the annual monitoring visit of the London Boroughs Grants Unit (LBGU).
Standard replies (also covering letters) including notes and information packs sent in response to occupational and environmental health enquiries. All the texts in questions mutated over the years. Several of the notes evolved into publications by the organisation; see link below.
Queries relating to pleural plaque ('pl:pl:') cases, and secondary literature on the topic.
Correspondence and papers re SPAID / OEDA's response to occupational and environmental health enquiries. Predominantly concerning asbestos-related health issues.
'Z files' were part of a new workflow for triaging queries on asbestos-related disease, implemented in the OEDA office from June 1998. The majority of Z-cases closed with a standard reply. However, a number of them grew into more substantial exchanges including coroner's and/or postmortem reports, clinicians' notes, and compensation and benefits claim information.
The workflow came with instructions on office procedures for processing 'First reports' to 'Z-cases'.
