As a result, the standard con trol methods available In all the textbooks, ventilation, isolation, enclosure, substitution, and personal protection, arc organized to nuiku practical and economical sense in a factory setting.

The-noise And lalrel problems uro straight* forward. They follow the textbook closely. Others may not be so simple because of tlio mobile nature of construction work. Solu tions to these will require imagination and money. Ideas from the space program are sure to be useful and we expect to see ex ploitation of the controlled individual envi ronment [n the farm of air-supplied suits for plasterers, cement masons, and welders; and air-conditioned, noiso-and dust-tight capsules for he. vy equipment operators. Standards, once set, can make these easily accessible at mass-produced costs. The logical approach is to accept the re sponsibility and begin to develop some standards that can be put into contracts and equipment purchase ordersj otherwise the industry faces attrition of skilled manpower, higher compensation costs, hazard pay, and if the problem gets bad enough, ifie inevita ble application of the ill-fitting industrial cookbook to these construction fobs. A fourth conclusion--records anti statistics must be kept. 1 ivpval, health mill! illation mi v.ubiiij; men is scarce. This is particularly so in the construction industry because even the infor mation that Is obvious in a factory Is clouded by tire nature of construction work. A factory is a relatively permanent envi ronment. Jobs acquire reputations; they smell; old timers get lung disease; this or that chemical wilt ipakc you sick if you in hale it. Tills is epidemiology in its most primitive form, done without the help of the professionals or the government. Neverthe less, It is very effective in discovering dis eases and developing control methods. Contrast this with a construction fob. The office is often a house trailer and a single craft is not likely to be on a given fob for more than a year. Who now is going to do tiro -pidcmtolopy? Work-induced health damni, .atUorcd hy :i erafl timing lie* v,,,um: of a single project wry easily passes without notice, it is not until a scries of such projects --and years--have passed that disability is marked enough In picvctil further employ ment. At this point, causc-clfcct relationships arc obscure. No single event can ba held re sponsible, and tint work force litis a few less craftsmen. If by some chance iho illness if recognized as work-induced, the last em ployer may bo held responsible for the entlie mst of compensation. This is uu solution. luir example, rnilh mover operators have long suspected that somehow spinal prob lems nru connected with their fobs. Tills may or may not be so; there are no stutisiics. It Is hardly passible that nil equipment operators - arc born with bad backs. It is most likely, however, that the vibration and bouncing no sotnc types of scats on some types of equip ment are causing spinal damage. Unless it is knmvn, first, whether or not oiscmtors us truly suffering spinal problems and second,. exactly which machines and what conditio ' arc responsible for the problems, prevenUas of "hack trouble" will bo impossible. With computers now available, it is iced-' ble to record the pertinent details of every ' job, every illness, and cvety death for evay: man working in the construction industry. Tltis should be done by ovoiy croft unloo, ( with the cost shared hy the employer. Rontine Computer output will then tell vs whether painters die young, or equipment operators get silicosis, or plustcrcrs get em physema, and whether the lung cancer that lias hern found in asbestos insulators if bt-big controlled or ttol controlled. A tiltil vunchisioti -tiutfiuiu, ivuxoaabk regulation must lie insisted oil. Competition is very real in construction. In fact, it appears to bo so fierce that ft oftea is cited ns the justification for poor health and bud safety practices. 1'or Instance, the question ns to why water is not being toed to control dust on a given haul road vny - often will bring the reply that tills is highly commendable; however, "it was not Indutlri in the job estimate because the competition never Includes such tilings, and in order i t ' bid the Job successfully it was necessary to dispense with the water wagons". This is a standard answer for many prob lems. Its effect is to penalize the legitimate contractors and to make tire natural groivlk of healthy working conditions next to inipot slblc. Tills fanatic Interest in cost-reductioa sr.-ms to ho eroding tbit fuw existing health standards ruveplcd by the Industry, For example, everyone knows that a saodblastcr should wear an airsupplied btins'. ) ) Co. .*<m 5<\ n. a Hill has been accepted without question for decades. Yet during the last year the writer has scon five construction Jobs where sand blasters were working. They nil religiously wore tho proper helmets--but not one lind >u sir-supply hose connected to tba helmet! Apparently the air supply Isn't being figured into tho bids anymore, even though it is still la tho law. Diesel engines in underground construc tion ore on o.rumpta of long-term, legal ero sion. Diesels were allowed underground only tiler long study and, finally, the setting of rigorous standards by the Bureau of Minos. These included specially designed engines, matching exhaust scrubbers, and ventilation rates based on numbers which accompanlod thovehicle from the manufacturer. Compete tVeprogress over the Inst 20 years has led to the oroslon of standards and the acceptance of any diesel vehicle with n home-made scrubher, and ventilation rates based on air sampling methods that have not been proved tellable. Tho engineered and tested stand ards and safety factors prepared by the Bu reau of Mines are being forgotten. Although t few contractors still use Bureau of Mines equipment, continuous pressure from the in dustry bos eroded the minimum standard. One tiring is certain; eroded standards, no mutter Imw legal, neither increase pioiits , ; nuke diesel exhaust belter lu smelt not s.di,r to inhale.

In this way. lu-.ilili) working condition! will be olficlnity m i .; nixed as a legitimate cost of doing inisim -t, and tire toll will be paid In dollars by die buyer of services rather than in tire health and longevity of tho craftsmen who ptovule them. The construction industry hits a hurt of -bidden and pressing occupational health problems, with more to come. For lire shod term future, government rescue does not seem possible and a serious and planned ef fort by management and labor is badly needed. Tho construction Industry has enjoyed and become addicted to the privileges of hard work and fresh air. Change is always dillicult. But one way or another, tike ft <rr nui, tho technology that we are using to ch.ni|;i tho face of the earth will.

V1. h-.it a! ') V JS67 National Safety Congress Electric we find tlm following three steps particularly fruitful: 1. Acquaint private physicians with nature of work, requirements of Benefit Plan, and Function of company medical stalf. This has been accomplished by various means, rang ing from simple phone calls to plant visits to (Ipcn houses for csimimurily doctors. Wo find ii diicct correlation between the uuiouut of familiarity a patient's doctor has with the company and the length of Illness absences. i. Visitation of sick employees to discuss convalescent progress. This visitation may be done by supervision or nurses. In the past we have utilized visiting nurses, but we are having our nurses primarily visit by tele phone now. It Is still company policy to hove supervision visit the employee to snow con tinued interest In the employee while he is disabled. 1 3.
