Acquaint private pl,ysiclans with nnture of work, requirements of Benefit Plan, nnd function of company medical staff. This has been accomplished by various menns, rang- ing from simple phone c"lIs to plant visits to "1','11 IUlIIsL's f"f ('IIIIIIIIIIlIily .Iudurs. 'Vu lillll 11 dllcd conc\aUlIll hchvI"'n the 11111(111lit ..f familiarity 0 patient's doctor has with the compan: .,"d the length of illness absences. 2. Visitation of sJck employees to discuss (:onvalescent progress. This visitatic..n lI1ay be done by supervision or nurses. In the past we have utilized visiting nurses, but wc nre having ollr nurses primarily visit hy tele- phone now. It is stili comp:my policy to have supervision visit the employee to show con- tinued Interest In t~e employee while he is disabled. \ 3. Once 0 patient is mnbulnto,y, he Is asked to visit the company dispensary. The ability of the employee to return to"hls regu- lar lob or to "light duty" can then be dis- cussed between company and privlite physi- cians. OJ,ViIlIlSI)', thlll 1.11111 nf c1l1se ;IUcntinll III I!Illployee's healtll, IIl1d to the work and home environments that contribute to It, can best be accomplished by on on-premise med- Ical (orce. A company 05 large as Western Electric Snds the effort not only 0 humnnl- tarian necessity, but one which pays off In on-the-job performance. The scale of Western's commitment to f!l\lployee health can be seen in these figures -37 full-time and 99 part-time physlcla~sl healtJ, and safety programs at 57 company , locations; programs ranging from blome- c1l11llics to computerizcd epidemiological studics, nnd fundamental resenrch In such varied Helds as heart disease Rnd laser haz- :Ink .

Many componles IlRvo found ,: that private clinics can take on this vital' , Illedicnl-l1Innllgelllent llartnershlp. Others de- _ pencl on Insurance benefit plans-a sure way , ' to prolong absences. Many reports have Indl.';' cated there Is 0 tendency for length of ab- sences to Increase us bencRts Increase. :, Sound IOlInagement plan Is essential to control absenteeism. It creates the psycho-', logical and physical environment conducive ' to good attendance. The cooperation oE fam-' ily and occupational physicians can do much' to Improve this attendance. This cooperation', con restore the ill and Injured to work a.' soon os possible and practice on a broad scale 011 that we mean by "preventive medi- cine," Management and medicine can malce 11 contrlbutiun to the ollcrtlting emclcncy of the orlllllllzatioll. Dut most Important o( 1111, ' o vigorous medlcal-mllnagement plan Is ' foundation upon which to build a healthy society on and off the Job. As the pressures of our tllchnologlcal age Incrense, as our urban environment becomes more complex, it is Imperative that we bring business and medicine togetller to seek mutual solll1t1c,"l:i'~1 to health and safety hazards. ) OFFICERS OF THE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1967-68 , Vice Preslden' for lndultrll-H.

Further, noise is more likely to lead to Increased errors and accidents If its value exceeds 90 db., and high fTequency audible noise Is more harmful in this respect than low fT('queney noise.
