W. N ICK EL Manager of Safety, Armstrong Cork Co., Lancaster, Pa. *: ment of the new safety policy, the following v,: -occurred in Department "A." John Barr, '/ one of the three shift foremen in the de- Part I apartment, was talking witli Jim 1Parson, ; ' Safety 'Engineer. j Several years prior to 1966, the Robinson Company's monthly Safety reports had shown the Woodville Plant as having one of the poorest safety records among the company's nineteen plants. The Woodville Plant ranked at or near the bottom in fre quency of disabling injuries and duration of absence because of industrial accident. Workmen's compcn.salion costs for Woodvillc for the two previous years exceeded costs and budget allocated to that plant by the central office. On July 3, 1966, as an effort to improve the plant's safely record, the production superintendent sent the following Idler to all general foremen with instructions to diVu.'-s it with the shift foremen under their supervision: "Hilling the |iast eight months much has been said and written about cost reduc tion. Each foreman should and must he an efficient manager, and his desire to re duce costs must embrace safety. We must eliminate waste, which includes die eli mination of accidents-- something zee definitely hirer not accomplished. "We need a stern, mandatory program to enforce safety rules -- we can't,be wishy-washy about it. Therefore, cadi, foreman should take the following apy'j proach : . cS 1. Know your safety procedures and bk>eh., able to spot bad practices. .wyi ' .'.V*r 2. Train new employees thoroughly. y. 3. Treat rases of safety-rules violations the same as if the employee was in subordinate or failed to follow work? ssepreicoiufiscatieonnosu. ghU, sesenwdriteth-eupsemoprlo,yeiefif home. I. Show your displeasure toward acci dents, as if the employee deliberately caused the accident--accidents arc a blot on your record as a foreman. 3. Don't let up---constantly talk safely to your employees. Records of minor and major accident; should be compiled for each employee, with a review taking place periodical ly between employee and supervisor. Action must be taken with accident- jiruuc employees. ^ John Barr: "Crane has decided to give yDanny a write-up for having too many ..accidents. Now you just watch and see; I'll bet he lias me do it. The damn thing "vis written up and in his office now, but you and see--lie'll wait until the last minute find (ell me, `You call Danny in.' And boy, (Italy will go right through the ceiling. ( When Danny sees that, lie'll really liiow his ,!c p r: . .. Hin Pearson: "Danny has had a lot of small , injuries lately but nothing serious." 1John Barr: "No, nothing serious, but he's kind of rlike a cry baby. You know, if lie burls III; hand a little bit be demands an v-ray and all that sort of stuff. That's what makes his record look so bad. But this was Crane's idea. I noticed on the write-up that lie put down that he had `discussed this with the shift foremen.' Maybe lie discussed it with.the other two, but he sure didn't talk with me about it, and Danny lias been on my shift now for three months. I didn't even know about it, but now it makes it look like it was my idea, too. I think their policy's wrong. I think the outcome of this ill be that the men won't report their accidents--like in that campaign a while hack and 11ill leave the office, talking vi other, and return to their work Seeing Jim I 'l-arsim, the Safely Sam Dili called to him from v.B Danny were working. Sam llill: "Hey, 1 know one / can rim for president. Dainty '.vy ing to him." Sam Hit! (to Danny) : "Did. t you a write-up on it or vliat did Danny: "I don't know. Crane i think it over for a few lays." Later, during a rutiline lour o era!ion, John Barr approached !b crew. Hill was wrapping some r on a wrapping maeliinc. Seriaforeman, Uill said: Sam Hill: "IIcy, 1 can't wrap thimore--it isn't safe! Why don't ye. top roller fixed.

Sam llill: "I k n o w I'm red-l, don't care what they do!" At lunch Barr told ( rune an ' about ITill's "Mow-up" and ''aU 1966 National Safety Congress I specifically mentioned Irnnsport drivers. I was of course, referring lo companies wlio employ a relatively few people as transport drivers, and not the great trucking industry. The monumental efforts in safety training and controlling highway drivers made by the trucking industry is living proof of what can be achieved in the field of driver train ing. The average highway transport driver of today is well-worthy of his title, "gentle man of the road." If the trucking industry can achieve this high level, surely we can train and instruct drivers within the four walls of our plants, and achieve a similar success. Each plant, each organization, has its own peculiarities and it would be difficult to suggest a driver training program tailored exactly to the needs of all organizations, both large or small. However, it is possible to establish basic concepts covering the "Who? -- What? -- How? -- Why?" of driver training that would be applicable to large or small organizations. This can perhaps be best defined in some written terms of reference that clearly out lines these facts and may lake the form of a policy letter, or other written procedure. The formal promulgation of a policy such as this has the advantage of clearly inform ing all concerned what has to be done and ensures the cooperation of all levels of employees. The next questions to be answered, as we organize our driver training, are "Who will we train?"--and "What will we tell them?" It is necessary to produce, or adopt, an operator's manual which contains all estab lished safety and vehicle operating procedures and is issued to all trainees for future ref erence. It is most important that when an em ployee . successfully completes any plateau of a driver training program, this is recog nized and recorded with the issuance of a safety permit to the employee. A safety permit does many things to many people and should be an integral part of a driver training program : 1. It recognizes a degree of driver ability. 2. It conveys a sense of accomplishment to the employee. 3. It forms the base of your driver train ing records. OFFICERS OF THE \4 0005R5 I. it provides a something that can be revoked temporarily or permanently as a consequence of continuing unsafe driving habits.

This we can do by taking part in meetings such as this with other national associations who have similar goals and purposes. Since health and safely arc so closely related, you cannot have a good health program without a good safety program. One complements the other, for a healthy productive worker must have a safe work environment. Radcliffe: This session is co-sponsored by two groups, the American Industrial Hygiene Association and the American Association of Industrial Nurses. There will be four key speakers and the subjects tend to inter-relatc. At the con clusion of the papers we will have a ques tion and answer period. With the co-sponsorship of the American Industrial Hygiene Association and the American Association of Industrial Nurses, wc have on the platform with us today their two presidents. First, William T. McCor mick, president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association and Assistant Director in charge of Occupational Hygiene in the Medical Department of Inland Steel Com pany, Chicago. He is also a member of the American Society of Safety Engineers, and many other related safety and hygiene groups. McCormick : The American Industrial Hygiene Associa tion is most pleased to be a co-sponsor of this program on Up to Date Industrial Hy giene. I am particularly pleased that the ladies who make up the membership of the American Association of Industrial Nurses are also co-sponsors this morning. In our company, the groups who are con cerned with the health of workers both di rectly and indirectly enjoy a cordial and co operative relationship with each other. This has been a benefit to both workers and the company alike. I think it is extremely im portant that those of us who have interests in the well being of people have the oppor tunity to meet together as groups periodical ly to share our information and to assist those in the common goal that wc have. The program this morning consists of outstand ing speakers; I'm sure each has a message Wc as industrial nurses need to learn to for us to take back to assist us in our pro- j be better prepared to care for the health and gram.

As an association, we're glad to be a greetings from its members. By working together, to recognize safety hazards and cooperating to eliminate them, wc can make the environment of the Ameri can industrial worker the most healthy, safe, and productive place in the world. ft.

A detailed account of the circumstances of the two initial cases is to 130 131 1966 National Safely Congress he published soon by Dr. Hector P. Blejcr of the California Department in (he Journal of Occupational /Medicine. Here we have an example of a material which docs not immediately become exces sively irritating; one concerning which we have not had too many published reports of difficulty. Very possibly, the reason for this was that cases may have occurred but, being sporadic, they have not been recognized nor published. Since a welder or a worker engaged in brazing operations may have been using solders over the years containing no cad mium, and then such a solder is required for the next day's work, it is vital that not only the health and safety personnel Imt also the foreman in charge of the operation should be well informed concerning the hazards from cadmium oxide fume. Another example of hazardous materials in this category is chlorinated naphthalene. This waxy materia! is melted in prdcr to impregnate wire or cable insulation or elccIrical condensers. The vaix^r from this syn thetic w-ax condenses in the air above the melting pot as a fume. On being inhaled in excessive amounts it may cause serious and even fatal liver damage. Among the earlier fatal eases as result of such an exposure, one worker died with a diagnosis of yellow atrophy of the liver. At that time there had been no such experience^ with this material and it was thought that the fact that this worker was a rather hcayj'y drinker may have led to his death. A secofd worker continued tlTe operation. When fie developed a liver condition which also tcrrlinaied fatally, but with no history of alcoho|ic beverage complication, investigations were in stituted which definitely implicated this harm less looking and non-irritating synthetic wa! as the producer of these liver conditions. As further categories of knowledge con cerning hazardous materials, we should in clude those materials actually in use in a plant, together with those which may be contemplated for early future use. Possibly the best and earliest source of information concerning such materials is through the purchasing agent. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that a close liaison he set up between the purchasing agent ami the health and safety personnel so that early informa tion will he provided concerning materials in use and those which are to be ordered. These materials may best be discussed in categories related to their physical and physi ological properties. Among the most important categories art the dusts that produce the pneumoconioses. In the major industries involving exposure to silica lust, there tends to be a good knowl edge of the fact that too much of these dusts will cause a lung condition, which may bt disabling. Where the dust may contain crys talline free silica, such as is the case with molding sand in the foundry, or granite dust in a quarry or stone cutting shop, it is well understood that the greater the percentage of free silica in the dust the lower the dust concentration should he in order to avoid ; the development of silicosis. It is known that workers should be given periodic X-ray examination, and that the extent of the dust; exposure should be determined by air anal yses, with control measures such as will be discussed later in this session. Less knowledgeable, as a rule, are health and safety personnel concerning such ex posures in those operations where crystalline free silica may be used rather incidentally in an operation at a plant not normally con sidered to be a dusty industry. An example would he the use of silica flour ns a filler in a paint mixture or as inert material in a variety of products. ^ _' Asbestos Tins been much in the daily newV1 papers over the last year or two, not so much because of its action in causing as- bestosis, but because of the association of a cancerous condition known as mesothelioma which has been found among workers with asbestos in far greater incidence than nmotw the general population. -Talc' fliid soapstone powders arc used in such industries as rubber goods manufactur-i ing, and may introduce appreciable amounts of such dusts into the air. Whereas most 1 dusts made up of silicates arc escsntially:- inert and, as such, as much as 50 million s particles per cubic foot of air may be con- 1 sidcred acceptable, these two minerals have j been found to produce disabling pneumocon* j iosis in lesser concentrations with the result \ that no more than 20 million particles per cubic font of air is considered within salt limits. t\ 132 0 0 0 5 8 H ' Wliiflriul Sii/rly Subirci Sessions This, however, is 1 TO^jiSlE/sttffy dniv' ettscs,^land 1, is., felt that much of the h.iz- connection with tule " i^jiti6..':$ot in- ajitjW^i.rgsSkd when manufacturers or frequently, these uoreset t? agreed to omit beryllium in to have some quartz content; this may be their phosphors in June 1919.

It would seem that everybody is well in Somewhat the same situation occurs in connection with a dusty material made up of diatomaccous earth, a form of amorphous silica. The natural material has been found to cause a disabling silicosis when the ex posure exceeds 20 million particles per cubic foot. However, where the diatomaccous earth is subjected to a calcining operation, some of this amorphous free silica changes over to the crystalline form known as cristobalite. Depending upon whether the diatoma ccous earth is calcined with or without a flux, the percentage of the cristobalite may be in the order of 20 per cent or 30 per cent, the latter with the flux calcining. Ap plying the ACGIH formula, these calcined diatomaccous earths should be kept either to 10 million particles tier cubic foot or to seven million, in order to avoid lung injury. In the category of metals, we would ex pect that all health and safety personnel arc familiar with lead as an occupational hazard and that proper precautions arc taken to prevent excessive exposure. In spite of this general knowledge, lead poisoning eases con tinue to occur in industry, not oidy in the industries that have produced the greatest number of eases over past years. A fter a report in the literature that lead poisoning eases were occurring in plastic manufacturing in Italy and a subsequent report of such cases in this industry in Prance, a group of lead poisoning eases occurred in a plastic manufacturing operation in this country. Possibly if a close relationship had been maintained between the purchasing depart ment and the health and safety jicrsonnel, the e\|>o.sure might have been brought under control without occurrence of cases. formed concerning carbon monoxide, the gas which is responsible for more exposures than any oilier, and also the gas rcspoiwiMe for the grisliest number of eases of fatal asphyxiation. Ill areas where there is an active possibility of escape of gases contain ing carbon monoxide, there tends to he an increasing use of multipoint carbon mon oxide alarms. Such installations have been placed in a number of blast furnace plants where carbon monoxide conrcnl rat ions of the gas arc in the order of 26 or 27 per cent. Fortunately, for most fuel gas purposes natural gas is coming info increasing use and this, of course, contains no carbon monoxide. Furthermore, where in earlier years supple mentary gas supplies have been provided through water-gas or proilurer-gas installa tions, these arc today being replaced by liquified petroleum gas with no carbon mon oxide content. It is, of course, im|>oitant always to keep in mind that imperfect com bustion of natural gas or I.I'G will produce a sufficient amount of carbon monoxide to cause asphyxiation. Cases of carbon mon oxide asphyxiation have occurred over the years on Monday mornings where cold sys tems arc being healed with natural gas. I li re, the impingement of (lie burning gas on cold surfaces interferes with complete combustion with markedly greater amounts of carbon monoxide in the products of combii-dion. Among the gases which might well he listed with those which may cause sudden death is hydrogen sulfide. The worst case of liberation of hydrogen sulfide in an oc cupied area occurred in 1'oza liica.

It may In: however, that we ale attacking symptoms rather than causes. We have, as I have said, begun to explore the nature anil true cause of industrial accidents since it is apparent that .legislation, regulations, and pood intentions do not in themselves solve the dilemma of rising aecidcuts. They do, however, provide us with a legal, and ve hope precise, framework to operate within. With our study, we hope not only to delinc the industrial accident and the role of the chief participants, hut to he able in some measure to anticipate the future and legislate, not only for this period, but in anticipation of the developments of the new industrial climate. I might say that we, as every prevention body is, are working to wards tiie day when we can no longer be employed. We arc assured by many economic planners that the advent of sophisticated technology (automation, if you will), will relegate the industrial workers to pushing buttons and performing monitoring func tions for three hours a day. Our chief aim at the moment is to keep workers alive and kicking until that day arrives. However, I might note that since K 'S Ilian t w o per cent of our industry is fully automated, I feci no immediate need for a job re-training course. Our department has continual exchanges of ideas, statistics and operation descrip tions with our other provinces and other countries. We have just recently completed the first of two ministers' safety conferences while representatives of trade unions man agement, and government have come to gether to re-examine ideas generated by in dividual research. We have, as well, been host and key participant at the recent Inter national Labour Organization Manpower Conference, which discussed ill some detail the international aspects of safety education and preventive tecliiiiipies. All of us then--government, management, and employees--share the rcs[>onsiliility for industrial safety. As government becomes more adept at defining it legislatively and management more adept in recognizing it as a method of enhancing the balance sheet ami employees learn to use the safety me chanisms provided for their own protection, wc may yet find formulas that work belter than our current situatioii-hy-sittialion ap proach. Frankly', I cannot give you omni scient answers, hut 1 know that if we, to gether, carefully select our questions and behave honestly and with proper concern in the area of our responsibilities, wc will arrive at solutions that lessen and may eventually slop industrial accident and death.

However, publicity is more of a deterrent than any fine that could he imposed. Of course, the only way to have advi|iiate publicity is to impose a line that is out of tin ordinary. We had a contractor that was lined MOD for a violation, which was the maximum fine that could he imposed. Later, the con tractor indicated that the line was notlunn compared to the adverse publicity from the ncwspa|>crs, and that he would have much rather paid a $.5,000 line than experience the publicity. Moderator: In the province of Ontario, where the circumstances constitute an of fense against the Industrial Safety Act and this offense occurs consistently, every per son or employer who fails to comply with the provisions of the regulation, or the di rections of an inspector, or the conditions of an approval permit is subject to a line of not more than $1,000 for each day of the violation or to imprisonment for not more than 12 months for each day of in fraction. Dr. Van /Ilia: In school I was taught that it is not the nature of the |>enalty but the certainty that the penally will be im posed that encourages compliance. Our main problem in this country' is not the penalty' but the fact that most of the people who are violating regulations will not be penal ized regardless of what the law says. This is probably because we do not have enough inspectors to cover the areas. Moderator: There arc far too many acci dents involving high voltages which cause burns, electrocutions, and falls from high places. These accidents occur to electricians, linemen, and other craftsmen above the age of 60 who do hazardous work. Lew of these old timers will admit the weakening of their grip, failing eyesight, weak heart conditions, or a tendency' to experience dizziness. I don't believe that a compulsory medical ex amination is the answer, hut there must he some solution. IVrliaps workers over 60 should be prohibited from working in high '(In t*11:*I? /1/r.

They should sit down and work out the procedures that arc to be followed so that it becomes the responsibility of both labor and man agement to see that they arc enforced. In the past two years the IBEW and various managements have established over S00 joint labor-management safety commit tees. 1 am very strongly in favor of these committees establishing ground rules. This is a definite advantage for management. We have had cases in some of our locals where the union member was brought before the executive board and informed that the union agreed to these rules and regulations and lie, as a member of the union, must comply. Mr. Dowling: We deal with the Ontario Federation of Labor and favor its support of joint labor-management methods of rule and regulation writing, but I would like to add that once these rules and regulations are adopted they should be put into the working man's language. They should be de veloped in such a way that the working man knows what they are and he under stands them clearly. In Canada, we print these rules and regulations in French for our French workers The union also has an obligation to sec (hat these rules are ex plained. Moderator: A number of years ago Re public Steel Corporation wanted to commu nicate to all of its employees a better un derstanding of the economic problems of the company and lujw they affect the work ers. They went to Brookings Institute for advice, then developed a play with 13 char acters such as a farmer, business man, stock holder, manager, etc. The employees were assigned various parts and participated in the play at various locations all over the country. The principle idea was that par ticipation would improve understanding and respect. The company paid thousands of dollars for that ide.a, and it is believed that the same results can be obtained if the union is allowed to participate in developing safety rules. An example of such cooperation is the Carborundum Company's joint safety work with the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union. This relationship is work- 10 ing extremely well and practically every one that I know of has worked very successfully. Moderator: Do you think safety programs should be in the labor contract? Dr. I'an Alta: Certainly! A contract has to do with conditions of employment, and one of the major conditions of employment is your continued life. It seems to me that labor groups, in general, have been most remiss in that conditions of employment have not been included under safety. How ever, this is certainly no excuse for this to continue. Mr. Greene: The contractors in the Dis trict of Columbia must comply with the regulations of our department. One of the problems with safety by reference is that most of the workers, and some of the man agement, do not have any idea of what these regulations arc. They don't understand them. If safety is in the contract, the work ers ought to have enough information so that they can know whether the regulations arc being complied with or not. If they are not, the workers can act accordingly. If their wages under the contract were not being paid, they would do something about it immediately. I believe that a union should act immediately if there is a hazard ous situation that needs correcting in accord ance with accepted codes and regulations. However, if people do not understand the regulations they do not know when the regulations arc violated. The answer, of course, is training. Without training, the regulations will be unimplcmcntcd. Dr. Van Alta: I have read a significant amount of contracts which were signed by people who thought they had negotiated safety' into the contract. The standard phrase is "the company will continue to provide safe and healthful places in which to work." This is really just saying that the company will continue its existing bad practices. That is not negotiating safety. It is as worthless as a contract that says tire company will con tinue to pay wages. There is meaningful language which can be negotiated into union contracts and nearly all of the international unions can provide this type of language. Mr. Burch: If the union has already sat down with management and worked out acceptable safety rules, the contract can con tain meaningful language that is also simple. % 00 05 fid .Sc For example, ``both sides agree to ac ipfhced that "the exhaust fumes of at all times, to the safety rules agreed immediately. ahc.;i(j. are., taken into jointly."

The important thing is to get together and work out the rules and regulations by which you arc going to Jive and then firm them up in a binding agreement so that everybody knows where they stand. Actually the original question -- should safety be negotiated into a union contract? --has been answered by the National Labor Relations Board. Not too long ago, there Dr. Van Alta: Actually the Council can not do anything about this sort of condition except publicize the hazard. It surprised me when I found that this cab company is still taking their fresh air into the passenger compartment through duels that arc located down low in bark of the rcdialor. This is especially surprising when you realize that all other automobile manufacturers stopped this practice 6 or 7 years ago because of the number of deaths from carbon monoxide. was a decision which was upheld after it was 1 can't think of any conceivable excuse for appealed, and it will probably be a landmark this type of neglect in design which can cause ease in labor relations.

A policeman is dispatched to the plant to serve the warrant on the person obstructing the inspection and lias the person removed from the premises until the inspection is completed. Moderator: Is there a standard clearing house that records a complete list of radia tion exposures to workers handling radio active materials? Dr. Van sllta: Not in the United States, unfortunately. There was a bill introduced in the last Congress, but Congress did not act on it. We have high holies that it will he handled during the next Congress, al though we understand that there is consid erable opposition to this bill from manage ment sources. Moiler,lor: How can we get management to correct unsafe conditions promptly? Mr. DoivUng: I can only give yon an il lustration of what happened in the city of Hamilton, Ontario. 1 was conducting semi nars in Hamilton when one of the crane operators in the plant called me at my home. He informed me that the wheels on the crane had become so worn that the electric shoes that pick up the electricity had dropped to where they were striking stud bolls, caus ing them to fall to the floTir below. I called the shop foreman and he admitted that the condition was unsafe. I then phoned the Director of tlie Ontario Industrial Safety Branch and he sent an inspector within 35 minutes. The inspector was in the plant for 10 minutes. Me shut down [he entire plant. Management was then obligated to bring in a contractor to replace the crane wheels. The plant was shut down for two shifts. Mr. Greene: We have a way of getting tilings done also; however, it is sometimes rather late. When we receive a complaint we send an inspector to the location. Usually the condition existed for some time before we receive the complaint. It lias bothered the worker, and he has probably complained 12 to various people but lie doesn't contact us until the condition gets serious. Mr. Gold: I think it must be apparent that the answer to this cpicstion depends in a large measure on the geographic area in which the plant is located. Some stales have line laws which will take care of these things if you push them. However, other states are (juitc lax and backward. Mr. Kunifel: If you believe you arc work ing in a hazardous situation ami feel morally certain that you arc right in your belief, then you should refuse to work on such operations until they can he examined by proper and (pinlificd authorities to determine if the conditions need correcting. Mr. Burch: I endorse what John says, hut I would like to add that union strength varies geographically. A lot will depend upon the knowledge and guts of the local business agents. Moderator: What are the effects of as bestos dust ? Dr. Van Alla: B re a th in g excessive amounts of asbestos lust over a period of 25 to 35 years, depending upon the amount and the person, will result in shortness of breath, circulatory and heart problems, and the person will probably die of heart failure. In addition, you will probably get no as sistance from workmen's compensation, if you arc under most jurisdictions. That is the classical picture of asbestosis. But, in the last few years, we are discovering that asbestos is a rather prolific producer of a variety of cancers of the lung and sur rounding tissues. Asbestos is a skinny little crystal, like a needle, and it works into the tissues and promotes cancers. One variety is appearing in rather sub stantial numbers among asbestos w-orkers-- it has always been there, but now it is be ginning to be diagnosed. This is a subject about which we don't know' nearly as much as w'C thought we did 20 years ago. I might say that excessive amounts of asbestos dust is only enough to constitute a slight haze in the air. The situations in which asbestos is used are highly deserving of competent professional assessment. Moderator: I low can unions get such professional assessment in rases where they feel the plant hygienist or medical per sonnel are not competent? Dr. Van . Illo: There arc sever (|ti:ilificd physicians in Ihe country act as consultants. Also, some si: departments have personnel who can moni tor asbestos operations and render opinions. (Comment from the lloor) --Dr. Van Alla, you mentioned 3011 can't pel compensation tor asbestos disabilities in most jurisdictions. The law has changed in most jurisdic tions in the country dining the last few years so that you may be able to sue the construction company, the architects, and en gineers who built the plant without proper ventilation. This can be considered for full recovery for the wrongful death of a work er or for injuries. This is a very important new area of protection for workers, not only to get damages where there has been disability but to prevent the continuation of the condition in the future. Moderator: What services or aid should be given or olTcrcd to local unions from the safety staff of an international union? Mr. lurch: The safely director should develop training programs, or at least out lines, for use by local union safety personnel, fie should supply materials ( posters, decals, technical data, etc.) and act as a research consultant in safety and health mailers, lie should answer questions received via letter or telephone. He should gather statistics, which retinites the cooperation of local unions. The international union safety director should represent his union members and the trade union movement as a whole, on the various committees that write standards 3nd codes which will effect the work of the union's members. The United States of America Standards Institute, the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the Society of Mechanical Engineers are examples of or ganizations that have these types of com mittees. Previously, participation hy union rep resentatives lias heen minimal and we are doing our host to change this situation. This is one of the most important activities that safety personnel of inlcrnalional labor or ganizations can undertake. There are plenty of openings but labor hasn't sought rep resentation. When labor does become a part of these committees, it has been my ex perience that labor representatives arc wel come and offer valuable contributions. 00005 i; 5 I.id 'or Sessions .i'g w- y ''V " : _ j 0 )f1c. reaffy* b i i p o i I j n l r o l e ."

Y ou have to w ork at it.- (Comment from Bob Wilkins)--I feel certain that the only way accident prevention c a n he effectively sold to union members and their families is through effective de monstrations. Demonstrative presentations stick in a persons mind much longer and are more effective in changing habits and atti tudes. Films are one method of demonstrat ing what can be done to avoid accidents or reduce hazards. Of course, this requires more time in preparing safety presentations and oftentimes costs money. I am sure that all of yon will agree that l a k e Hold does an outstanding job of teach ing accident prevention to people from all w a l k s of life and you will notice that he uses demonstrations wherever possible. With reference to the continuing complaint that management cannot get the cooperation of the union or the men when they wish to initiate a certain type of accident pre vention program, the primary reason for this dill'icnlly is the fact that management feels that the safely program is not only their responsibility, but that it is their privilege to develop and enforce it as they see fit. T h ese lypes o f p roced u res o ften run into difficulty becau se m o st p eop le resist so m e th in g th at is fo r c e d u p o n th e m . H o w e v e r , m ost people are w illin g to coop erate w ith practically any p ro ject or p rogram if they have som e voice in th e m a n n er in w h ich the p roject or p r o g r a m is d ev elo p ed . As an example, if management wants to initiate a safety-spectacle program, it is extremely helpful if tiiey will ask tire union to appoint two or three representatives to sit with management and develop the pro gram which will later become mandatory. When this cooperation is enjoyed from be ginning to end, the program will always be a success because both parties feel that the program was developed properly, and both parlies will cooperatively assist in see ing to it that the program is put into effect. Regarding the question of whnt labor can do about industrial hygiene problrms, I be lieve dial if the state labor department or oilier concerned organizations cannot provide industrial hygiene personnel to study situa tions believed to be hazardous by the union, then the union should have the opportunity to hire it's own consulting industrial hygien ist to study the situation and give an un biased report. This should satisfy the de sires of the union membership and should assist in avoiding hazardous situations which may he overlooked by management. (Comment from the floor by Mr. 1'hilo) --If you don't mind, I would like to say something in general about a problem we, as lawyers, have in representing injured people. I have been interested in one very important area of safety and I refer to suits against manufacturers of machinery or safely equipment that result in an injury to a worker. Our position is not aided by the existence of weak standards and weak positions by local and international unions. In particular, I have during the past year presented cases of 37 workers who have lost hands in power presses. I have just spent some time in the Bower Press and Forging Section sessions, listening to speak ers on points of operation guarding. It is my opinion that about 50,000 presses in the United States arc guarded by a trap instead of a safely device. These are the pull-back guards. I think it is predictable that a work er who operates a press equipped with these pull-back devices for 30 years is bound to lose a band. I represent some clients who have lost both hands. I don't believe that the National Safety Council is ever going to suggest that the pull-back devices arc unsafe. This is prob ably because the Bower Press and Forgings Section basically represents industry and management. However, the unions can and should do something about this situation. They ought to get these devices banned in every state in the country. The pull-back devices violate the two principles of power press safely. First, ever}' device or guard must have a fail safe mechanism; second, the worker's hands should never be placed between the dies when the machine is run ning. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler will not use these pull-back devices on any of their thousands of presses. They recognize Ft l.a hn r S csmous lliey ;\rc :i trap. It is the smaller simps wfiicfi do not have (.-(Relive accident preven tion engineering in (lie plan!, where these devices exist. I recently talked to a corporate safely director who I thought, should know hctler. However, his company is being advertised as having pull-bark type guards on power presses in several of its plants. The cor porate safety director admitted this was (rue. lie went on to say that this type of device was used in some plains because the local union insisted on the pull-back devices. 1 believe that the local union safety per sonnel were undoubtedly good, conscientious safety people but were not safety sophisti cated. This point of operation guarding is a complex problem. Dr. Van Alla: W'liat Mr. l'liilo says is perfectly true. 1'ail safe design is partic ularly important when you're talking about power presses. It is true that there is no failure of a pull-hack device which is a s a f e fa ilu r e . I'.vci v c im e n v e .ib lr i a i ln ic i . a hazardous failure.

We are trying to motivate our key people to program themselves and their men to work safely and efficiently. The reward for learning is confidence. Wc must continue to learn and to teach and we must not forget our people if we are to prevent accidents. We can summarize as follows : 1. We created an atmosphere of communi cations. 2. We accepted the philosophy of safety-- "Accidents Can Be Prevented''. 3. We recognized and accepted our respon sibility in our organization. 4. We were motivated by accurately an swering the question, "What do I get out of safety?" 5. Wc created good p erso n al re la tio n s ti -'.ugh personal contact. 6. Wc rev/ewed work fundamentals by apT'iying the job hazard analysis system. 20 7. Wc improved work methods tlirongli work simplification techniques. 8. Wc provided a method of programming ourselves and our resources, for safe and efficient work through PERT. This program has provided us 'with a persona! discipline. It has given us the con fidence and ability to successfully meet the challenge of the future. We are learning how to work safely by applying modern management techniques to. our work problems. We know these tools cat be effective when applied to specific problems j and presented at the proper level of com prehension of the particular people involved, ] because the Dallas Division maintenance, people worked 584 days without a disabling , injury, with no disahling injuries in 196:. j We have had one disabling injury in thf Bridge and Building Department this year..; ] Wc can successfully meet the challenge of the future by continually learning aid teaching and finding ways to apply modem management tools.
