There is another ttason why the above data must be con 12 * sidered understated--a reason which leads to the first of six realities which should be recognized publicly before significant prog ress can be made to reduce worker injury and disease; 1. Under-reporting by industrial firms of actual injuries and disease e.\|>cricnccd by laborers has long been an endemic mana gerial disease. First, the definition of what constitutes an injury is decided by an indus try-dominated body called the United States Standards Institute of America--a group of industries and industry technical six-ictics. Second, companies go to considerable length to avoid rc|Kjrting a lost time injur)--not only to keep their insurance rales down hut to preserve their place in safety competi tions. For example, a worker in a Jones & Laugldin steel plant received a groin injury; he was taken off his usual job and placed in a chair where he sat doing nothing for two weeks. Any blue-collar matt knows that such a practice is not unusual in numerous industries. * 2. Plant physicians surrender to or are constrained by corporate dictates as to the exercise of their medical judgment and right to publication of cases in the medical litera ture.' A recent case in point involved a Dr. John Zalittsky, a physician at the Brush Beryllium plant outside Cleveland, who had cases of workers suffering from Itcryllium poisoning and wanted to publish them in a 1.1 196,1 National Safety Congress 000W , Labor Session medical journal (williout mentioning their names, of course). He was told if he did lie would have to look for another job. The doctor had a bad heart and was con cerned about looking for other employment. Before he could do anything, he died of a second heart attack. Dr. Lorin E. Kerr of the United Mine Workers Welfare and Retirement Fund, an authority on coal workers' pneumoconiosis (or, as the coal dust disease is popularly called, "black lung"), has sharply denounced "the attitude and influence of employeroriented physicians who avoid facing known facts about the ravages of coal dust in hu man lungs because to do otherwise would cost money. The impact of physician knowl edge and attitudes is apparent in inaccurate or incomplete death certificates. These doc uments are essential for determining the existence of a dangerous dust requiring gov ernmental action for control or eradicatioa Too often, no records mean no action. Phy sician denial or avoidance of known facts can also determine Use publication of infor mation. In 1956, the concern of some physi cians about management attithdes ellectivcly blocked the publication of a paper of mine on coal workers pneumoconiosis in the most widely circulated medical journal in the United States. One can only wonder how many times other medical information vital for the protection of the health of workers has not been published for the same reason. Physician attitudes also influence other groups such as company lawyers, state legis lators, and officials who, all-told, arc remark ably resistant to the elimination or control of coal dust because it would cost money." Coal workers' black lung or pneumoconi osis affects at least 150,000 active ami retired miners in advanced stages of lung destruc tion. Two thousand men die from this dis ease in Pennsylvania every year. What Dr. Kerr was referring to was a critical rupture in the recording and communicating of data by members of the medical profession. 3. State safety laws and regulations are weak, inspection is poor, and penalties rarely imposed. The stales spend an average of 40 cents per worker per year on industrial safety. Some states such as Texas and Oklahoma have taken this down to two cents per worker per year. Of the 1,524 state inspectors, 697 inspect boilers, elevators and mines, leaving only 827 inspectors for control measures arc years ahe general safety inspection, construction, safety country, which docs not even ha\| promotion and education, health, and in standards in force. _______ dustrial hygiene, according to the Bureau of 6.

For example, coal miners' area of occupational health and industrisl Hack lung disease is not considered work- hygiene. related by the compensation laws of all 4. By and large, union leaders liave bees far too pliable when confronted by manage meat's inaction or decisions regarding worker health and safety. Too often, health and safety' conditions are treated as trade-ofil for more tangible union gains in wages It the collective bargaining table. This bat been the case, for example, with the United Mine Workers leadership, which finally it becoming slightly, aroused over the plight of their workers but little dedicated to over turning coal management's modus operandi states, except Pennsylvania (1965), Virginia (1968), and Alabama. Such human derelicts, spitting up coal dust, struggling for breath, mfTlictcsl with emphysema, massive fibrosis, or enlarged heart, are denied workmen's compensation in such states as West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Illinois. In Ken tucky, according to the state's Department of Labor, about 1,400 out of 2,000 mines licensed to do business do not comply with die workmen's compensation law for other mine injuries apart from black lung. Yet, ,(|ic present governor ^nd his predecessor Have not considered laiy jand order to In tipjilieablc to coal ojierntdr;. Where docs tliii leaVp,tl|e National Safct; Council? Certainly, it does no service t( truth and candor to hide the fart that tin Council's industrial members and rnnstilu ency take a strong interest in how far tin Council goes in the occupational healili am safety area. That interest, to uc a mill word, resulted in the Council's being plans in a difficult position regarding the Occiipa linnnl Safety ami Health Act of 1968. Soon observers believed that the Council rctractci from a relatively imsitivc imsilinn on tin bill in February to a statement more ii consonance with industry's preferences a few months later. Fur the Council, it is the satin old dilemma of "to be or not to be" thm has plagued its potential independence ir other safety areas. If the Council is to b( true to its potential in occupational hcaltl and safety, it cannot ignore at least soon of the above-noted problems obstructinp progress toward more humane working conditions. that treats coal miners as being less expen sive than coal. Union leaders simply do not give health and safety a first rank pri ority; their lack of aggressive lobbying for the proposed Occupational Safety and Health LASER BEAM PRECAUTIONS Act of 1968 in Congress cannot be covered up by resolutions and resonant statements for the records. Labor leaders are wanted on the ramparts, not just on the record. 5. The Federal government has abdicated its responsibility to devote funds toward effective research programs and trainint programs for occupational health and safety. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) has had no sense of the importance of this problem, the need to de velop preventive systems and competent med- ical and engineering personnel. HEW'* ad vocacy has been weak and, if anything, the occupational health activity in the De-' partment has been downgraded recently. The one area where HEW has received somej consistent funding--$5 million since 1953-- for research on the causes and prevention of coal workers' pneumoconiosis has bad little to show for it, apart from a prevalence ; study completed three years ago. It is dis-j maying to note that not only does Westers Europe spend twenty times the level on re search in the coal dust disease area, but : By WILLIAM McCULLOUGH Collective Agreement & Grievance Officer, Canadian Union of Public Employees. Ontario Hvdro Emolovees Local 1000. CLC, Toronto, Ont. Before we consider the hazards and pre cautions for the safe use of the laser beam, we should understand what it is. Tlic name laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The original concept was invented by Dr. Townes pi 1955. In 1958 Dr. Townes and Dr. Arthur Schawlou gave a paper on how to construct an optical maser. The name maser is an acronym for micro-wave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. An optical maser is a laser. In 1960 Dr. Theodore Maiman, a scientist then working with the Hughes Aircraft Company, gave the world's first demonstra tion of a laser beam. In 1964 Dr. Townes won the Nobel prize for his work on the theory of lasers. ' The light that conies from a conventional fight source radiates in all directions in waves of varying lengths that reinforce or cancel each ntlicr. Because it is non-dircctiuual anil of varying wavelengths, it is said to lie incoherent. Light from a laser beam travels in only one direction ami is all at the same wavelength, so that it reinforces itself and is known ns coherent light. Be cause it travels ill one direction in straight lines, it is a very narrow beam. To obtain a directional beam from an in coherent conventional source of light it must be focused, and even then it soon spreads it's beam again. Ordinary light sources arc usually heat units such as incandescent lamps, arc lights, etc. In a neon tube the glass walls remain cool but the electrons activate the neop atoms within the glass tube and ac celerate them to levels normally found at high temperatures. The atoms of the source material arc brought to a continuous excited state and they fall back to normal by losing energy through heat and visible light.

Our Foam Slag Plant at Sparrows Point has a record of an accident-free string of I.+40.073 man-hours. No. 58 Coal Mine of the Ellsworth Division of the Bethlehem Mines Corporation, Marianna, Pennsylvania, established a world record of 2,206,643 man hours without a disabling injury. These accomplishments show that a real and burn ing desire for safety, good safety tools, and good organization can get results. Bethlehem certainly has. One final point: no program is self-per petuating. Therefore, you must work conti nually to keep your safety program effective. W'c realized, a few years ago, that our accident rate was not dropping as steadily as we felt it should--perhaps something was wrong. The company decided to conduct safety audits. The audits, we hoped wot point out to local management the weaknes and strengths of their programs and " provide corporate management with an all picture of its safety program. Four a arc audited in our safety program: accid ^ investigation, job safety analysis, job safety training, and safely observation. The audit team, composed of men from similar operas tions and the home office, reviews the com? plctc safely program at an operation reports its findings in writing to the li operating head. The audit points out for superintendent where his program n<. more emphasis, needs changes, needs modi&r] cation if lie is to reduce the accidents a 1 approach a zero disabling injury rate.

I am confident that in the intervening 40 years those of you who arc experts in the field have developed new techniques that would make a recurrence of such a disaster highly unlikely, `and that you will continue to dedicate yourselves to the prevention of accidents, thereby assuring continued "com munity stability." 1 could say that every citizen of a min ing community assumes his responsibility for promoting effective mine safety; but to do so would be unrealistic, because the man on the street--the city official, the retailer, the school teacher--has his own problems and is content to leave the matter of acci dent prevention and industrial safety to the safety director, the National Safety Coun cil or to others who have assumed that specific responsibility. But when an accident docs happen which results in a disabling injury or--heaven forbid--a fatality, then the previously disinterested bystander be comes concerned, because lie now has some thing at stake. Generally speaking, mines are locatcjl in small communities, and wc in management arc often unmindful of the widespread effect that even a single disabling injury has on a small town.

The industrial revolution brought rapid changes and was followed by awakened so cial concern about working conditions. Women and young children were employed Coal Miners' Pneumoconiosis. Coal diut itself has always been considered to be !, basically inert dust. In coat mining opera tions, however, it may be inhaled in largt in mines. One ol the earliest writers on the health aspects of mining was Georgius Agricola, who published his De Re Metallica in 1556. Agricola discussed in detail the mining, smelling, and refining of gold and silver, lie recommended ventilation with fresh air for mine workings. He also recommended the use of masks to protect against mine amount. The amount of free silica present in the airborne dust is usually quite small Two main types of pneumoconiosis an described: simple pneumoconiosis and prog ressive massive fibrosis (PMF). The former is frequently associated with focal empliy sema, whereas in PMF large solid masses of scar tissue are found in the lung. Tuber culosis is implicated in the majority of cases dusts. Ontario has no coal mining and 1 haw Mining operations, because of their diver sity, present a wide variety of occupational exposures, some of which can result in ill health and disability. I hope in this presen tation to touch on many of these exposures, with more particular reference to the min ing industry in Ontario. To some degree, underground work is similar to work done within confined spaces. For this reason, greater attention must be paid to toxic substances encountered under ground. The air in mines is more likely to no first hand experience on this subject A superficial look, liowever, at the prevalence of coal miners' pneumoconiosis indicates tbe magnitude of the problem around the worU wherever coal is mined. In the United States a survey of 2,549 Appalachian bituminoa coal miners covering the period 1963-196S disclosed 9.8 per cent with definite x-rsj evidence of pneumoconiosis.

Miners exposed to manganese dust in both Chile and Cuba have been reported to develop central nervous system effects similar to Parkinsonism. No mercury, manganese, or lead mines are found in Ontario. It is per haps worthwhile to mention that manganese steel is commonly used underground in jaw crushers. A welder in Ontario using an oxyacetylenc torch to cut manganese steel under ground developed kidney damage which was attributed to the manganese fumes. Ventila tion in the work area was inadequate. Much of the free world's nickel is mined in Ontario. Dust in nickel mines has not produced occupational health problems apart from occasional cases of dermatitis.

It may occur in mines where sulfide ores are found. It is soluble in water or oil and it may flow for some distance from its place of origin to escape at some unexpected place. Hydrogen sulfide has a characteristic odor at low eimccutralions. It* odor cannot tic relied iqion, however, to give adequate warning of its presence, liecause in lethal concentrations this gas rapidly para lyzes the sense of smell. Such concentrations also affect the respiratory center in the brain resulting in failure of respiration. Radioactivity Radium, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope, is distributer! in small amounts in the earth's crust. The radioactive disintegra tion of radium results in radon-222 and radon daughters. The air in underground workings contains sonic radon from seepage of the gas into mine workings.

Adequate ventilation must be provided to fpmove nitrogen dioxide and other gases one notable exception is the fluorspar mine in St. Lawrence, Newfoundland.

To the industrial hygienist, a noxious substance is one which produces adverse effects on the worker from annoy ance or discomfort to illness or death. Oxygen Lack. Oxygen is the most impor tant constituent for human life. Man can live only a few minutes without oxygen-- his reserve of stored oxygen in the lungs, blood and tissues is sufficient to last for only four to five minutes once he is deprived not a normal constituent of the air. It s produced by combustion sources--fire, ex plosion, or the interna! combustion engine' It is produced by blasting agents. Concen tration* of 400 to 500 ppm in air may bt tolerated for a short time; exposures of 1,500 to 2,000 ppm arc dangerous in a shod, time. I do not feel there is sufficient evil] dencc to accept the concept of chronic eat- hon monoxide poisoning from repeated e-"| posurcs underground. ! tting, tlicre is nearly always mixed ex[posure to carbon monoxide and oxides of utrogen.. For this reason, any worker af fected by blasting fumes with headache, liness, or collapse should always lie conred to have suffered a significant cximto oxides of nitrogen as well. Rcstric- of activities for 24 hours is most it in these cases. It has been recommended that 75 cfm per iwer be provided for the control of tration of radon and its short-lived daughters and to the length of time of cx|k>siiic. It has been estimated that 30 to 50 |icr cent of deaths in Schnccburg and Joachinislhal miners was from lung cancer as a result of radon exposure. The hazard from radon daughters is measured in Working Levels (WL). One WL is defined as that combination of radon daughters in one liter of air that will result in an ultimate emission of 1.3 x ID5 McV of oxygen.

The simplest control measure is to venti late the mine with fresh outside air. An other method of control is to limit the miner's time in areas high in radon and daughter products. In all areas where radon is being emanated, the ventilation rate should provide one complete air change every four minutes unless radon daughters have been shown to be low. (This rate of ventilation is very high for a mining operation and I do not think it would be feasible for large scale uranium operations.) Each pair of men mining in the ore should be provided with 1,000 cfm of fresh air discharged from an outlet not more than 30 feet from the work ing face. On drifts, the airflow needed should be calculated to provide a velocity of 30 ftVmin. These recommendations on ventila tion are all taken from Public Health Service Publication No. 494. Exposure to thorou and tlioron daughters has also been raised in connection with uranium mining. This is currently under dark locations. Such levels of llluminatioo likely contribute to accidents underground; No reports of nystagmus, common In Brida coal miners in Wales, have appeared b Ofc; tario.

Epoxy and polyester resins are used in ^rqck bolting. The use of epoxy resins may result in cases of respiratory irritation and dermatitis from the hardeners used. Derma titis is occasionally encountered with the polyester used. Polyurethane has been used in mines as a seal. These contain isocyanates (MDI or ^TDI). Of these, MDI is less volatile and likely to give trouble. Both of these isocyanates, however, may give rise to bron chial irritation or allergic bronchitis with asthmatic-like symptoms.

Many of tlic finishes had been used for quite a few years prior to the durable press revolution, but in smaller quantities added on and generally with a washing-off stage in mill processing which eliminated unreaclcd or excessive amounts of material. With the advent of permanent press, substantially greater amounts of finish were applied by tlic mill and left on the fabric in an unenred state. The garment manufacturer then fabricated garments and cured the fabric finish. He is unable to wash off excess material so we have to lie sure there will lie no dermatological reactions from such finish on tlic first wearing of the garment. At one time the cutting and sewing of uncurcd fabrics was quite a problem due to the release of fumes which bothered the operators, sometimes to the point where people would quit their job rather than work in the contaminated atmosphere. Air filtra tion systems have now been developed which remove these fumes as fast as they arc released. After proper curing the problem docs not normally exist, as the chemical in a properly cured fabric is tied into the fabric molecules. Another type of fabric finish we watch very closely is the anti-iiiicrohial material used to prevent odor from developing or to protect fabrics from mildew. No mcnf containing chemicals arc permitted by ' Checking on these is a fairly simple ` analysis, as just the presence of merwi enough to cause rejection.
