INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT REPORT - Roy 0. Denson Mr. Benson, Muingcr of the Industrial Dpartaient, presented the following report : INDUSTRIAL STAFF The Industrial Staff lo still one man short, having lost Charles Wolff to the U. 3. Department or Tabor. Part of the problem In hiring Indi vid ualn lo due to ''ur position ns a membership organization. We feel we cannot approach an individual working for a master organization and must wait mtll they approach us. However,.although wo are still a man short, It i:oco not. mean that we have not interviewed a number of Indi viduals. t new oolary plan was adopted by the National Safety Council Hoard of D) rectors which will m m lot the department in tooth hiring now employees tnd rewarding present employees. Although the first unalyaip showed that the staff salaried ware within the new plan, we can and will be in a better position to ouggent salary Increases. STAFF Hm'Tt RECORD Some yor eo ago the Industrial Department was given the reuponulblllty for adrinistnrlng the Accident Prevnntian;Progmm tor the entire staff. Sloe* that time, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Peterson nod Hr. Rppcraon have accepted the responsibility of staff safsty director for various porl.du of time and about a ynnr ago we preaentnd o u m l v e # with our gun Awiud of Honor* ' A little over n month ago our record wns broken Just Short of four million man-hours. It seemed Ironic that tbs causa of the last time accident van coffee spilled in an nlole that caused a girl to lip. Ironic In that we had an Industrial employee booklet, entitled "Coffee breaks" that iud as one of Its main topics, this very "spill" subject!,.. The Injury was minor and Urn girl wns book to work, in * few dnyti, ibis is an effort that keeps the Industrial staff close to the problem In on in-houae test program. SAFRTY CHECK FOR CONOBKS3 Safety at Congress Sessions was another problem that toe Industrial staff tackled. Although we have always discussed safety in the noting rooms, no regular check list has ever beta mode for uniform inspection. This year, the list tint each room captain uses to check projectors, easels and other requested equipment will also have a room.safety check. We hope ve can build this Into a meeting room safety chuck data sheet that can be used by associations running meetings, everywhere. ACCIDKOT PREVENTION MANUAL. 5TK EDITION Our schedule called for submitting copy for the various chapters of the Manual early in duly. This early starting date was necessary to have the book printed and available for October 1. 4, as anticipated. There were a number of Important decisions and unfortunate: circumstances thul had to be settled before the book could really get on its way. First, the book, was submitted to n number of printers for bids, type limiting and press work ami it was found that It was economically advnnttigeoua to change from the printer who had handled the first four editions to a now firm. This did not. interrupt the Industrial Department work, but did hold T T - up editorial work., since the policies of the new printer bad to be understood and followed. The new printer has greater type setting capacity so it is felt that the early delay will be overcome.. Since the book would now be reset, there was an (opportunity to give it a couplet over view. A study was made of various type faces and it> was felt by our Production Department that an improved and a more readable- face could be and was selected ' Headings were changed end we believe you wlll find, the entirebook one that is a little easier to use..,He have also asked both editors and authors to take all the "fat" .put. of.the copy. He expect that this will reduce the text by at least 10 per cent and not sacrifice .any essential .material... Many people beside ourselves have felt that thejfourtto edition was both thick and heavy. The third edition 'i^'~about~the tdgiit` size for .the .lnformation we: had t a lapart.: He have mads one other decision to reach this end. A ll^iter weight pnper that sacrifices nothing in opacityJtt^rbeeR selected, Although we are adding sa#e new Information Industrial,Boise and Visual.-Aids plus bringing all other material up-to*^ate, v.believe we will .produce a book that Is easier to read and to handle. ' Our last problem, we hope, was to find a replacement for Robert Sullivan who had edited, the third and fourth editions and resigned in August to Join Argonne Kationnl Laboratory^ We now have a nev editor, Frank McELroy, and. believe that we can proceed without further delay. In the interim the Industrial Department has turned over more than half .of the chapters in.the book to the Editorial Department.^. They feel certain that the book will still make.the scheduled publication date, October 196U. HALSB-HEAUSY REGULATIONS Although this is a Standing Committee operation the complete analysis of the new regulations to get ready for the Congress meetings necessi tated many hours of Industrial staff time both during regular and after hdurst t.Mr.. Currie and Mr. Kelly both spent a great deal of almost ;"monastic effort" in order to. give, each portion of the new regulations a uniform chapter analysis. . Other staff engineers reviewed assigned chapters but it fell to these two men to summarise the. analysis. TTIAIHiao AMD TBAIBIHO QUARTERS . . When the Council's Board of Directors approved enlarging the office facilities it included providing new training rooms to accommodate the Safety Training Institute. The work has now been completed and the facilities will be used for the first time during this Congress, tfe hope that a number of the sections will plan on having their Execu tive Coinaittee meetings in these rooms. They are all set up with now training type tables...The room will be used exclusively for trainingtype meetings ard will not have to be shifted to accommodate confer ences. A projection room has been provided with enough storage room to handle all the materials used in oui- classes. -8 - Our enrollment Is oft* to n good start, In fact, our Training Director, Mr. Smith, tells a the November clans Is filled. This m a n s that all fundamentals courses during 19b3 were filled to capacity. S T B P (SELF TEACHING EDUCATION PROGRAM) The acceptance of this new program has been so encouraging that vs are planning a new series for 1761*...More than 2,900 nets have been requested and many were being requested on the basis of a trial with requests for greater quantities if satisfied. With some companies ordering hundreds of sets, it Is now felt that qualified acceptance has been made ant new subjects should be considered. ACCIDENT CASK HISTORIES Ctae Idea suggested by our 'mining Director, has now been plaeoa on the publication ,,-hedule. Thin Is an accident case study kit or tml.ilng by t&. Incident .tethod. Hie present planned kit consists of six acci dent case studies, with pictures and descriptions. Snail groups Study the accident and make an analysis as to cause and cure. The picture and analysis is reviewed and discussed. According to trainers this teaching methcu Is beneficial because participation Is stimulated. It Is adapt able to many variations to suit the audience Involved. SAFETY MANAGEMENT FILMS This last summer we worked with Alschull Productions on eight new super visor training films. Every staff man was Involved in one or more of these films as a technical consultant. This series of films probably gave more of our staff an Insight into motion picture productions than any other previous effort. Individuals on the Industrial staff are also Involved In the writing of script for slide films. At least four more subjects are being considered for l^oli. WILLIAM H. CAMERON AWARD On September IP, William II. Cameron paused away in Evanston, Illinois, We know that many of the people on the Industrial Conference shared our feeling concerning the important contribution that Mr. Cumeron made to the National Safety Council and Industrial Safot-- . We know this, because you so unhesitatingly endorsed the idea that on award be established bearing his name. We can all feel pleased that wo were able to convey our feelings while Mr. Cameron could atill appreciate them. At Ills service Mr, Cnmeron'o family, and especially his-widow asked me to let the Conference know how m uch tills recognition meant to Mr. Cameron and the family. CONGRESS SURVEY During the Congresn, the Industrial staff, in addition to its regular session responsibilities, have been n3kxt to nnnlyae the survey to be made of the Thursday morning Early Morning Session audience. In order -9 - to give the Congrenii Program Committee some information for their Friday meeting, it will be neeenwtry 'or Tour or five staff men to spend Thurs day afternoon and some part of the evening on this analysis. It will alno be uecemtary for another team of Industrial stuff engineers to devote one evening during the Congress to the correction of Home Study Course lesson units. With more than 100 supervisors uctlvely enrolled, it is imperative that the schedule is maintained on a daily basis, Congress notwithstanding. ; STAFF TRAIHIBS -'.y ..kt---' Daring the year throe tnemhvrs of the Itdustrlal. staffparticipated, in the institute for Organisation Management conducted h y theiChaoiben>of> Oomerce of the United States at Mich.-npn State University. - Our'Training Director participated in a workshop apoooored ly tt National Training Directors JVsuociation and others including our Industrial HygUsnistpartieipalid in vifv: Envirocaentnl Hazards Symposia. . .v- To .-'vni *, V.

Olinmpliu Mr. Champlln reported that now membership results for 'lift first three quarters of 1963 were somewhat better than for t.he onme period last year. The total of 623 new affiliates with aggregate oimnnl dues of $h0,700 represents an (.norms of 90 members and $7,900 In dues over the new membership figures at the threequarter point of 1962. Cancellation experience has shown almost no reaction to the duos adjustment resulting from the change to the total employment basis for determining nirnunl dues fra# the previous "blue-collar' method. The 1963 loss of 5(fc members awl $38,500 in dues was virtually identical to the nine-month toll in 1962. limn, the new change picture shows a growth of 119 members and $2,200 in dues as compared to a nom inal 28 member gain and a net loss of $5,600 dues for the same period of 1962. The membership situation Is not without Its disappointments. With approximately 16 per cent of the employer organisations that will be affected by the new nil- employee method of determining dues renewed, the rote of increase Is thus for well below expectations. The avenge Increase In dues for 82^ renewals has been b.2 per cent as compared to the 15 per cent gain Indicated by the staff's study. Should this rate of Increase continue for r full 12-mooth cycle, the growth in duas vlll total $35,000 or about one-third of the expected gain. It should be pointed out, however, that the major renewal months H e Immediately ahead, and that the heavy concentration of large organization memberships that will be renewable may Increase the current rate of growth. The happier side of this situation Is that the principle involved of extending Council membership and tbuo safety program coverage to all the employees of a member orffutlzation is being accepted, and that even the corporations that have experienced rather drastic increases in annual dues have, with but a handful of exception's, renewed on the new basis without question. Earned income from membership dues and publication sales for the first three quarters was $3,505,000. In spite of major shifts In revenue results by class!- :flcatlon of sale, the nine-month figure la virtually Identical to both the 1963 budget and 1962 experience for the period January through September. Attributable largely to the continuing spectacular growth of FAMILY SAFETY Maga zine circulation, dues and subscription earnings were $1,79^,000-- an increase of $56,000 over 1962. Advertising sales of $337,000 were $h3,000-- or lit. 7 per cent more than for the same period last year. Nullifying all but $!t,0C0 of these gains, however, was the sharp reduction In sales of non-aubsc Iptlon materials such as posters and films which for nine months was $95,000-- or 7 per cent under 1962. The staff very logically points out that these results should be viewed as encouraging. Advances In the areas of membership and subscription earnings tend to be lasting gains, whereas the performance of non-subscription material sales tend to be erratic, and subject to short term changes in the economy, and the rather wide range of income potential for any given year's array of planned new products. 11 Contributing to the favorable outlook for the fourth quarter are three recordbreaking revenue items: (X) sale of exhibit space at this Congress resulted in gross revenue of $1^0,000 on sales of 3^8 booths-- an increase of $3,000 over the previous high of last year; (2) advertising sales in the Congreissues of the Council's three major program periodicals produced eanfugs of $99,000-- * gain at 6 per cent over October/ 1962 issues;, and finally (.>} circulation of FAMILY SAFETY Magazine la expected to exceed 600,000 copies vith the release of the Vinter issue-- an increase of nearly 100 per cent sit: the. 1962 Vinter Issue.

RKFORT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEKTINO - C. F. Schlueter Mr. Sch .rfter drew attention to the 14 charts on display which briefly outlined the major objectives of the Industrial Conference adopted by the Coherence at the May 1963 meeting. At tlint time, the course of action and specific Consnittee assignments proposed to carry out these objectives were Indicated. Since ffay, some definite steps have been taken and many projects are under way. Some have been assigned to Conference Standing Committees, others have been assigned to special cosmlttees or ntudy groups. A complete report of the objec tives and their present status will be reported to the Board of Directors on_ Tuesday. October 29, at their meeting. A copy of this is attached. (Attach ment B.) Mr. Schlueter referred to one objective that effects the Conference Itself, an examination of its meetings and organisation. Mr. Queannr and Mr. Oorbell have undertaken a careful review of the mechod of operation of the Industrial Confer ence during the last two years. A new format for scheduling Conference meetings with a view to improving the Conference meetings had been proposed and will be tried at the January 1964 Conference. The new schedule of meetings will be out lined in the invitation to the Jnnunry meeting. At the May meeting action wan tuln'ti t,o change the names and scope of two Stand ing Committees: 1. Nuclear Energy Committee would be changed to the OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARDS COMMITTEE. 2 . Mechanical Safeguarding Conmlttee would be changed to the PHYSICAL HAZARDS COMMITTEE. A new suggested Scope, Duties and Responsibilities has been prepared for these committees and was acted upon by the Executive Committee at their October 26 meeting-- these Scopes will now be considered by the new comalttees which will meet following the Conference session. Scopes and Duties of these two committees will be submitted to the Conference to be made a part of the Confer ence Handbook for the January meeting. Mr. Schlueter then asked for reports from a couple of special cosmlttees of the Executive Committee. A. Government Regulations Committee - M. F. Blancardl Mr. M. F. Blancardi was sure that all Conference members were aware that the Proposed Revision of the Safety Regulations on the Walsh-Healey Act were published in the Federal Register on October 1 , and comments on the revision have been requested by the Department of labor by November 30In other words, 60 days have been allowed for Interested parties to submit comments. According to Mr. Bianeardi no hearings have been planned on these revisions. - 13 Upon receiving these proposed revisions the Industrial Department staff was asked to make a complete review m d svtelt a report for considers tlon by the Industrial Conference's Governmental Regulations Coedttee. & analysis on which the report va* based was obtained by providing answers to the following questions an each af the paragraphs of "the Ualsh-Healey Revision. 1. What is the source of the Regulation? 2. Is the Regulation more stringent;,less stringent : . or the sane sa lts source material?- :v: . 3. Are any "should" in the source Material changed to "shalla" in the Regulations? U, Are there any Important physical Conditions not covered that should be covered? 5* Is the Regulation a "Physical Performance Requirement?" 6. Is the Regulation subject to interpretation and: . Judgment by the USDL Investigator or Safety -Engineer?- in-!-;: -i. 7. Is the Regulation (l) Inadequate, (2) Unreasonable, (3) Vague, (t) Obsolete? 8. What general comment is applicable? This Committee will meet on October ^ ^ t o c ^ l ^ s r the analytis snd agree on a plan to be submitted to the Department .of labor. .... .. The attached report was the result of the October 30 meeting end s subse quent session with representatives of the Labor Conference. (Attachment C.) w .. In the meantlms Conference members are urged to do several things: e. Appraise their management of the full import that , ` these Regulations may have for them. b. Make an individual analysis on any consents you may have to the Deportment of Labor. c. Througi their own management and business associations consider the revised Regulations and their effect on the Industry or ares so represented. Mr. Blancardl concluded by stating this was the sumnary of what is presently taking place with the revision of the Safety and Health Regulations of the Walsh-Realey Act and no other work would be undertaken by the Governmental Regulations Coamlttee until this item of business was concluded. - jA - Mr. Schlueter then referred to one of the other specific objectives which was the re-evaluation of the entire National Safety Congress particularly as it applies to the Industrial Sessions. One of the Post Chairmen of the Industrial Conference, Mr. 0 . 0 . Griffin, has agreed to take over the Chairmanship of this Study Coaulttee and has selected a Committee for this study. Mr. Griffin was then called to report on plana for this study of the Congress. Mr. Griffin pointed out that thin Committee truly belongs to the entire Confer ence membership. It is a Study Committee and It can only function ns ideas from the membership are presented. The National Safety Congress is an ever growing and meaningful Important annual function. It is 50 years old, but there is no reason why it cannot be Improved. However, it is very Important that we do not destroy satisfactory effort in a desperate effort bo make changes. Mr. Griffin then named the members of the Study Committee. F. Daluoa R. Gilmore T. Wilkcnson Wm. Brown E. C. Woodward This group planned to meet as Boon as the Conference had adjourned to conulJer surveys and studies required to progress with their work. Mr. Schlueter, In conclusion, wished to extend to all members of the Industrial Conference his appreciation for the excellent work done during the year. He hoped it had proved to be both a productive and worth-while year and he hoped that the future would favorably measure scae of the results of the past year's effort. IX. INTRODUCTION OF NEW VICE PRESIDENT FOR INDUSTRY ARP CHAIRMAN OF THE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE Mr. Schlueter introduced Mr. J. S. Queener, as the new Vice President for Industry. Mr. Queener expressed his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him-- he referred to an old saying in the Du Pont fnmil "with every honor bestowed, there must be a responsibility assumed." The u n o r now bestowed upon him carried with it a very real responsibility to the entire membership of the Industrial Conference. A year ngo while attending an International Safety Meeting in Ceneva, Switzerland, each of the countries represented demonstrated thoir safety programs visually and vocally. In listening to the pu-ticipantu describe their programs it became very evident that our country Is considerably advanced in a concept of safety compared to the Continent. In talking with business people from other countries attending those meetings, Mr. Queener discovurod that the main reason seemed to be that they did not want to do anything more in safety than Unit required by legislation. Du Pont, like many other American concerns, tuts European plants und it is found that the people in these plants have the point of view that the law determines safety. If America is to Intervene to show leadership In industrial safety, it must continue to work on the principle . .oruntary action and responsibility ns recognized by the National Gnl'cty Council and by the Iniuutrlal Conference. -15 - i 0 Roy Hamilton presented Mr. Schleuter with his Conference PastQihlnsan Award. G. 0. Griffin presented Mr. Schlueter with his Honorary Life Membership to Industrial Conference plaque. Schlueter once again expressed his appreciation for the honors bestowed. X. ANNOUNCEMENT CP THE 1963-1961* CONFERENCE MEMBERSHIPS Mr. Queener noted that according to the Constitution and By-Laws it was his responsibility to appoint Memberat-Large for the forthcoming year. "I hare taken Into account the suggestions of my colleagues and they have been been very helpful. We now have, therefore, a new Conference listing for 1963-196* which the staff will now distribute." A preliminary list of the I963-I96U Standing Canmlttees was also available for distribution.

OBJECTIVE: Develop a future policy and course of action for the Industrial Conference concerning the entire area of promulgation and application of governmental safety regulations by any government agency. ACTION: Referred as an additional assignment to the special committee which studied and prepared a report on the i960 safety regulations issued coder the Walah-lfealey Act. At the recommendation Of this coantttee, In 1962 the Council submitted a report to the Department of Labor making certain recanmendatlons, the most Important being the urging of the use of performance standards rather than detailed er ciftc standards applying to environmental exposures. The Council was Informed by the Department of Labor that It would not be possible to adopt the basic programs It reconaended but also that Improved standards were being developed with the provision tint interested parties would be given ample opportunity to make recomawndationo when they were published in the Federal Register. The new regulation*! were published on October 1 of thlo year and a period of 60 days hau been allowed for all Interested parties to submit written cananritn and suggestl-rs. The Industrial Department staff has analyzed the new regulation and at the direction of the special committee on ,government regulnti'tis, with the approval of the Industrial Conieram.o, will submit urittfn eoiw;ntn to the Department of Labor. However, there are also other govemiwntal agencies, bos Lien the Depertraent of Labor, who have been or n>v proposing to Issue additional safety regulations. It Is felt dentreble to further study all ouch current developments and prepare a policy mid nuggeotec course of notion which will present a positive approach, rather than take defensive action when any agency issues new safety regitlni ions which arc considered to have objectionable features. 3. OBJECTIVE: Conduct research on accident control methods to determine which elements of accident control exist most frequently in those companies which consistently have a good safety record. This should result in n selection of the most commonly successful approaches which can bo used as a basis of extension of such methods in plants or Indus* tries whsre they are not now In use. ACTIOS: This has been referred to the Research Frojecto Committee which Is working with the Research Deportment of the Council in developing such a study, U. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the operational methods currently used by committees, sections, and the Industrial Conference an a whole in carrying out its program, for the purpose of trying to improve performance and possibly reduce the time and travel, of the people participating.

Endorse the plan for the adoption of "state needs." 2. Encourage associations In which they were members to support the plan. 3 Publicize state needs. 6. Enlist the support of conuunlty leaders. 3. Urge that the management of company plants in other states also support their Btate needs. - 1 - Attachment B As a result of this request, many organisations represents) cm the Conference outlined what they were doing to cooperate and requested additional Information concerning specific state needs. Responses also Indicated that these companies were using their Influence to support recosmended traffic safety legislation and in many Instances indicated they had been lending support even before receiving the request. Also, early In the year, a special campaign aimed particularly at the relatively high traffic accident rate of the summer Booths, solicited the support of all employer Bombers of the Rational Safety Council. To offer specific activities they could engage In, a package program was developed and mailed to 17,000 mernbtrs In May. This contained: (1) A letter from Mr. Pyle. (2) A project fact sheet. (3) A procedure fact sheet. (b) Three flve-mlnute safety talks. The response won very heartening with many organizations requesting additional copies of the material to be distributed to various divisions of their company. Many of them used stories In their house organs and reproduced copies of the talkB for additional distribution. 6. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate all of the types of occupational safety material produced by the National Safety Council to determine its effectiveness in the total program. ACTION: Referred to the Research Projects Cogmittee which is working with a Council stuff man assigned to Industrial safety research. In this study, material from other sources at well as that of the National Safety Council will be evaluated. 7. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the existing sectional newsletter program In terms of need, usefulness, content, cost and frequency of publication. Production of all of the sectional newsletters on a monthly basis is a time conn nting operation and a current appraisal as to the purpose they serve in relation to the time and expense of producing them appears desirable. ACTION: Referred to the Technical Publications Committee. 8 . OBJECTIVE: Develop greater use of statistics In establ Lulling major accident prevention target aivnti by industry neon riling to types of Injury iiud types of accident.. ACTION: Referred to the Sectional Activities Coinmlt.tee which consists of the rhiiiiven und group vice chnirmen of sections, with tie recommenda tion that each wcl.ion not studying target arena, work with l.lm staff representative In developing the necessary statistical information and 5 Attachment B. a w it b s :a basin for wotlonal activity. Special efforts by Indus* trial Sections to direct its activities against major injury sources should produce laproved records. 9* OBJECTIVE: To reappraise the Council's occupational safety progrs to determine bcw to more adequately meet the worker-accident problem nationally. Explore bow the efforts of state and local safety organi sations as veil as business, professional and other organisations can be coordinated and used more effectively vlth the efforts of the Industrial Conference in reducing occupational accidents. - ACTION: At this point, no specific action has been taken to carry out this objective, but it Is hoped that a study group consisting yt some sabers pf t h e industrial Cenf*wnuh< some of the management nnbers of M^hla Board, representatives of Industry associations and sons lambers of- the conference of state and local s.ifty organisations can le created tomate a thorough stwly of thlv problem. 10. OBJECTIVE: Re-evnluate the purpose, the genei-l ^lun, the scheduling of business aretinge, program quality and program coordination of the national Bafety Congress snd recommend the charges which would opierir desirable froa such an evaluation. ACnOH: A special study comlttee, headed by a pnat chairaan of the Industrial Conference has been appointed for this project. Specific action planned is a survey of people attending the early morning ses sions of the Industrial Conference. Mnny of then arrive at least a half hour before the beginning of the program and these people will be queried concerning meeting attendance and satisfaction with programs. Although limited surveys have been made in past years, It Is felt that checking vlth a larger group will secure m o w valid facts on which to base conclusions, m addition, all subject sessions will be monitored this year by members of the Industrial Conference. 11. OBJECTIVE: Determine whether, on the basis of experience to date, the present method of nominating individuals for 'Distinguished Service to Safety" awards is such that deserving people i n not overlooked. ACTIOS: This has been refer red to the Contests and Awards Comlttee as a special assignment. At present, aost of the candidates are nominated by sections and there is soae question whether there a w individuals who have not been considered for this award because It was established after soae of them did their aost active work in sections or as members of the Confewnce. 12. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate whet)r the NATIONAL SAFETY NEWS can serve m o w effectively In helping the Industrial Confewnce achieve its specific objectives through possible closer coordination of the editing of this publication with the Industrial Conference activities. ACTION: Thin has been referred to the Technical Publications Committee as a special assignment, and tlie editors of the NEWS will meet with the coimnlttee to study ways In which the Journal can more effectively promot Conference objectives.

ACTION: Before assigning thin to one of the standing consulttees or appointing a special committee, It. was felt that the Industrial Department staff should gntlier some Information for preliminary con sideration and a staff member Is now working on this. Information to be gathered Includes established at.nndnrds and means of testing product safety. 1U. OBJECTIVE: Make an objer tve evaluation of the President's Conference on Occupational Safety, .n an effort to determine whether It serveo any real purpose In furthering occupational safety. ACTION: It was suggested to the American Society of Safety Engineers that as n professional safety organization, they might be In the best position to make such on evaluation and the Executive Cmslttee of that loctety took action by appointing a group to make ouch an evaluation with respect t.o tlx* Conference scheduled for June 19$'* an well ns previous conferences. With these overall objectives, ns well as thoce generated by the com mit.;.coo and industrial sections, you can see that the Industrial Conference has a full work program for some time to come. 8C1P&399 Attachment C.

Third, use a sound basis for judging what la to be reccessended In high injury rate establlslsnento to correct the basic acci dent problems. ' Fourth, Initiate pre-contract determination of the level of safety attained by contractors to determine their eligibility for contr-tcts subject to the Walsh-Healey Act, (over) m - 2 Attachment C. (b) With regard to regulations governing physical conditions: (l) Particular emphrsle should be placed on that portion of toe Act which says, "Coopllnnc* with the nrfety, nnnlt.nry and factory inspection lnvn of the nt.r,t<s in which the work or part thereof is to be performed shall be prisn fucic eviihmce of compliance,"' (s) I f the Department of labor finds that sta te req tinrvnto are InmWquote and i f it baa the authority to eat-thliab hlrher standards to attain thn objective o f the Act, the Dejnctnent should roly m general physical perform requi rem nts. a.
