W. BROWN (MC) USN 4i ".......... May I point out that this award is unique in that it is being conferred upon an organization notable for its efforts in promoting the conservation of industrial personnel, a factor so closely geared to war production. In production we tend to think in terms of the finished implements of war without sufficient emphasis on the significance of saving manpower by the safeguarding of indus* trial health. The Navy brings this award this morning to an organization of out* standing excellence in this phase of the war effort. "The primary objective of industrial hygiene is the maintenance of indus trial manpower through the prevention of industrial illness and accident. Your .ability as an organization to advance industrial health has been attained by the excellence of your surveys of occupational hazards, thereby improving working conditions in war plants; by studies of health conditions of women in industry-- a new problem; and by your important publications, notably the Industrial Hygiene Digest--the only journal of its kind. The services to your industrial member companies not only reduced absenteeism incident to industrial illness, but increased personnel efficiency as a result of improved environmental con ditions. This reflects distinct credit on your technical staff. In recognition of your war service and in token of appreciation of the Navy, it is my privilege to present to the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America this Certificate of Achievement. This is the Navy's wholehearted way of saying 'Well done!' " OOufI? HOW THE FOUNDATION AIDS INDUSTRY AND HOW THE FOUNDATION FUNCTIONS The Foundation conducts and supports research in medicine, engineering, chemistry, and physics. Through plant surveys and studies of particular prob* lems members are given specific and constructive advice for the general well-being of men and women at work and for the communities in which they live. v Plant researches are conducted at individual locations or collectively for a single industry to appraise and eliminate health hazards, to combat air pollution problems, to improve ventilation and air hygiene, and to conserve manpower. The Foundation affords a working vehicle for the active interchange of experience and data among companies through inquiries, round-table conferences, interviews, and plant visits. Problems may range from toxicity of a new substance to specifications for medical departments or plans for new factories. Chemists and engineers from Member Companies are trained in industrial hygiene procedures. . A general meeting of Members,- held annually, commands national attention for the timeliness of its programs. Members receive the com plete Transactions. Informative round-table conferences are held in connec tion with the annual meeting. 0 C058 WHAT IS THE INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE FOUNDATION? The Foundation is a national, non-profit association, whose members are primarily interested in the advancement of industrial health. The Foundation believes that better working and living conditions and improved physical fitness and mental attitude of workers will result in . finer workmanship, . lower production costs, development of new products under safe operating pro cedures, and proper labor and public relations. The Board of Trustees of the Foundation is annually elected from the member ship and includes officers of the U. S. Public Health Service and the U. S. Bureau of Mines; its medical, chemical and toxicological, engineering, and legal committees are composed of representative specialists from these professions. On the latter pages of this circular are listed the members, officers, and committees. The headquarters of the Foundation are maintained at Mellon Institute, 4400 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh 13, Pennsylvania, a foremost center of scientific and technologic research. 0( cJ The financial status of the Foundation is sound- Cur* rent research and operat ing expenses are financed through the annual dues. Surveys, studies, and spe cial research work are con ducted for members on an equitable basis. An Industrial Hygiene Digest, abstracting pertinent literature, news, and legal developments, is compiled for Members each month and is nowhere else available. (It would cost a company approximately $5,000 annually to produce a similar publication.) , Informative bulletins, reporting results of Foundation researches and special studies, are issued periodically. They deal with such practical subjects as "Health Problems of Women in Industry/' "Determination of Benzol Vapor," "Putting the Disabled Veteran Back to Work," "Accurate Appraisal of Silicosis Hazards," "Findings from Major Studies of Fatigue," # "More Manpower Through the Reduction of Absences/' and "Industrial Health Department Functions and Relationships" 00000 HOW THE FOUNDATION HELPS ITS MEMBERS Until the conclusion of the war, it was im possible to expand the Foundation staff, although the opportunity for useful and con structive aid to industry was, and is today, almost unlimited. Recently, however, the staff has been strengthened through the appointment of Lt. Col. T. F. Hatch, a spe cialist in industrial hygiene, from the Sani tary Corps of the U. S. Army, and of C. Richard Walmer, M. D., who has specialized in industrial health, as full-time Medical Director. In addition to making plant surveys for Members with a view of lessening or elimi nating occupational hazards, the Founda tion's staff will advise on plant design, ma chine arrangements, industrial ventilation, and all factors for improving physical working conditions. For a fraction of the cost to an individual Member Company, the Foundation through a mutually supported research program can, for a particular industry, make a study and aid in developing a proper operating pro cedure for the entire industry. Such investi gational work has recently been completed for the pottery industry through the U. S. Potters Association. A study is now being made for the National Industrial Sand Associ ation and another for the Lead Industries Association, which is composed of lead miners, smelt^s. and consumers. THE FOUNDATION CAN HELP YOU The Foundation files contain numerous cases, wherein improved working conditions have resulted in dollars saved in operations, for example: Fumes escaping from a degreaser created a health hazard and aroused employee complaints. I-H-F chemists and engi neers brought the dangerous exposure under control. After the elimination of the hazard, and the source of complaints, the company discovered that it has thus saved $25.00 per day in the reduced quantity of solvents needed for the operation. A company-wide study disclosed that dust was more of a hazard to the ma chines than to the men; installation of recommended ventilation improved working conditions immeasurably and cut maintenance costs on machinery about 50 per cent. TO PRESENT MEMBERS The Foundation is unique in that there is no other organization of its kind in the United States, and it is hoped that you will make full use of its facilities. TO FUTURE MEMBERS The Foundation is now in a position, through its increased staff, to help you with your problems--with your support the Foundation will continue to grow in usefulness.
