There nay be times when we may not havo the iramodiato anowor, however, again it is our responsibility to assist you in getting the answer to your problems. Cooperation docs not mean a dead-end street - it, is a two-way street. If we arc not reasonably conversant with the problems at. hand, we no3t certainly cannot lend the kind of assistance you would desire. Tien you stop to consider, the succoss of management depends on the successful oporatiOn of each individual department.. A great many of our plants employ a Safoty Director, and jn sue!} Jnatoncoo you can readily appreciate that thoy have many duties i.t corcuon with our Nurse. In many cases they are qualified first-aid people and handlo the first-aid duties when you are away from the plant. It. is highly essential, therefore, that these individuals work in close harmony and enjoy the boot possible relationship. Jn all of our plants the Nurse is required to maintain complete ftr3t-aid rocords, and thesn records aro valuable in several ways. With the thought in mind of maximum cooporation, much data from those records, along with possible suggestions can be passed on to the Safety Director to assist him in his efforts on watching for indications of a definite hazard, a recurring type of accident or an accident prone individual. It is equally ns important for our nurses to really loarn to know our plant physicians. They should likewise know the plant physician1: staff and the facilities available in his office. The same condition applies to certain representatives of our Compensation and Health Jnsurnc< carriero. I believe you will agree that with close and sincere contacts, as mentioned, it cannot but help to make your office moat efficient and will prove exceptionally sound in the handling of our employoe medical problomu. The plant Superintendent or Works Manager has many complex problems and generally appreciates not being bothered with routine or trivial nattors. On the othor hanu, it is our duty and responsibility to be fully aware of your problems, and in this respect you should at all times feel free to discuss them and request assistance when necessary. These various practices followed orv a sincere basis represent positive team play and certainly will be productive of what we all desire to achieve in our respective plants. In a groat many industries, the Industrial Nurse has been placed in a rather awkward position for the reason that duties involving regular and routine clerical work have been delegated to them, which in no wayare conneoted with first-aid, nodical, insurance or other relatod work. During periods of accident-free operations, we have known 01 many instance: wherein the Nurso has voluntarily requested to be of assistance of a clerical nature, however, it should be distinctly understood that her regular duties have top-priority. The Superintendent or Works Managershould be sufficiently well informed, and maintain maximum intcrost in the Industrial Nursing Program to make certain that you receive all the help and support you are entitlod to. The successful and harmonious operation of your department should be just at important to Management., as would be expected in the Pattern Shop, the Foundry, Grinding Hoorn or any other dopartment.. 51 SPNY 000181
