Right Safety Foundation, Inc. 1800 N Kent St, Arlington, Va 22209
The Flight Safety Foundation works to unpiove standards and techniques in all aircraft operations Its specific objectives are to pro mote research, to provide a forum where con troversial safety issues may be lesolved, to disseminate accident prevention information (through such means as articles, bulletins, re ports, books, and lectures), to encourage the adoption of proven safety devices or proce dures, and to try to foresee hazards and to press for corrective action
To further these objectives, the foundation acts as a clearinghouse for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of safety informa tion Its personnel participate m safety dis cussions and safety studies and conduct safety seminars for aviation personnel It presents awards and otherwise encourages the growth of safety programs It acts as a catalytic agent m drawing attention to needed improve ments and changes in safety techniques Its publications include
Accident Prevention Bulletin (monthly) Pilots Safety Exchange Bulletin (monthly) Business Pilots Safety Bulletin (monthly) Aviation Mechanics Bulletin (bimonthly) Cabin Crew Safety Exchange (bimonthly)
Among the foundation's reports and special studies are

Health Physics Society
PO Box 156, E Weymouth, Mass 02189
Organized m 1955 and incorporated in 1961, the HPS has as its objectives (a) to aid and advance health physics research and ap plied activities, (b) to encourage dissemina tion of information between individuals m this and related fields, (c) to improve public undei standing of the problems and needs m radiation protection, (d) to initiate and de velop programs for training of health physi cists, and (e) to promote the health physics profession
Health physics is devoted to the protection of man and his environment from unwarranted radiation exposure The health physicist is a person engaged m the study of problems and practices of providing radiation protec tion He is concerned with an understanding of the mechanisms of radiation damage, with the developing and implementing methods and procedures necessary to evaluate hazards, and with providing protection to man and his environment from unwarranted radiation ex posure
Health Physics is the official journal of the society
Illuminating Engineering Society 345 East 47th St, New York, N Y 10017
