Approval of Nilnuta of the October 16, i960 Meeting The Minutes of the October 16, i960 Meeting were approved as mailed. Ill Industrial Department Report - Mr. R, 0. Benson Several staff changes were made to improve operations nnd increase em phasis on programs requiring additional attention. Off-The-Job Safety has assumed such an important position in ton indus trial programs that added staff direction was advocated. Mr. Paul Sheppard van relieved of the Electrical Equipment Section staff repre sentative duties and was appointed Director of Off-The-Job Safety Activities, He will retain hia affiliation with the Public Utilities Section. In addition to working on off-the-job statistical program and publicity, Mr. Sheppard is also studying the possibilities of an off-the-,job safety symposium to be conducted in Chicago during May 1961. The Electrical Equipment Section that was handled by Mr. Sheppard had been assigned to Harry Johnson. Mr. Johnson now has two Sections: Automotive and Machine Shop Electrical Equipment these having similar production-line problems. To make the move it was necessary to transfer the Printing and Publish ing Section to Mr. E. E. Koch. Mr. Koch had only onp Section assign ment and this plan will be continued in the future, when possible. We will try to have a new man handle ont Section until he becomes ac quainted with the work. A new staff representative, Mr. J. Epperson was added to the Industrial Department staff on January S3, 1961. He will he assigned to the Petroleim Section. This move was made to relieve Len Smith, Training Director of all Sectional responsibilities, therefore this is not a new move hut merely one that brings the staff assignments back into line. The Heme Study Course and the training institute duties have become so demanding on Mr. Smith's time that this move vas imperative. Mr. Roy Ellis, Director of the Small Business and Associations Division haa resigned from tlie staff effective February 20 to Join the Variety Store Association as Assistant to the Executive Director. Mr. Ellis will remain a member of the Small Business and Associations Committee of the Industrial Conference. 5- The entire office staff of tKatfetlonalSafetyCouncll h a B n o v g n n e nor than two: m i l l n man-hours without a lost-time injury..-This, acaldentprevention effort h asbeen accomplished under tbesafety direction- of two Industrial Department* members - Kr.

Like the safe practice pamphlets that paved'tbs way to the Accident Prevention Manual, these papular cards are sacrificed to the changing Industrial needs. With more complete forme!- lzed training, card reminders apparently are no longer required training media, lack of lntorest by our members resulted in the "kill" decision. Two hundred seta were made up and the remainder will be destroyed. The bal ance may be sent to Junior Achievement for use in their safety program. - 6- A new srias of Foremens Safety Talks are now tinder preparation. hla series is being written by 01cim Griffin, our former tn.ining director. Thir x v series will be an entirely new format. The talks will be shorter and the book, will include suggested questions and their answers so that the foremen can conduct short classes instead of Just lecturing. The editorial staff and advertising staff of the NATIONAL SAFETY NEWS and the Industrial Department now meets monthly in order to plan improve* ment of this Journal. The fact that the new editor and advertising mana ger are both former members of the Industrial Department makes this rela tionship highly satiufactory. All material for the forthcoming March equipment issue was reviewed by the Industrial staff to bring the equip ment copy up-to-date. Authors for lead articles for each chapter were suggested hy the staff and are now being prepared. For forthcoming issues, the Industrial staff has agreed to secure or furnish articles as needed in a planned schedule. We will be calling on Industrial Conference members and others for specific articles in accordance ylth the known abilities of the members. In October, we prepared releases for all Individuals elected to Sectional Executive Committees as well as the Industrial Conference and these were sent to local house organs and local papers as designated by the elected com mittee members. We have been checking to see how many releases appeared In home town papers and company magazines. Results, to date, make us believe that this idea was very satisfactory. We believe these releases give our volunteer officers well deserved publicity and helped publicize the National Safety Council all over the aountry. Same months ago we stopped sending out questionnaires on the Industrial Inventory. Wn had felt we had enough experience to tell us that this Inventory was too complicated for our purpose. It did prove that we could get useful answers from our members, if we did not make the process too dif ficult . When the Member Opinion Survey Committee of the Conference was dis banded and the work referred to the staff ve felt the-effort to simplify should be started. A new short questionnaire has now been prepared that we think can be answered annually. This group will be asked if they will act as a member opinion group, for not only the annual survey, but to other question naires from time to time. The objective, to have a regular member opinion research group that can give us quick answers on specific questions. Ve plan to use the return post card questionnaire technique that has been so success ful on the Congress Program Survey. By our next meeting ve should be started and have some preliminary results bn which to report. IV. Report of the American Society of Safety Engineers - Mr. 0. L. Oorbell There are now ^ 6 chapters enrolled in the Society and 7,300 members. It is noted that this is quite an increase In the membership figures since last year. The Society was incorporated in lyll in New York. The Charter no longer completely reflects the Society's objectives end operations, and steps are now under way to re-incorporate in Illinois where they maintain their headquirtera to bring the Charter completely up-to-date. The Society la presently vorklng on the revision of the Constitution and ty-lava, to re define safety engineering and also to outline the objectives end. purposes of the Society. Preparations are now under way to launch, a monthly Journal In, October 1961, which will combine "Engineering for Safety";(nonthly newsletter) and,the "Journal." The Society has also agreed to be the United States headquarters for a n International 3afety Abstracting Service^ better; known to moat as CIS# ` 1 A draft will be prepared this year on an ocrapetionnl aonogroph to be used primarily to show people the advantages of Safety Engineering as & pro fession. - .-> :- The Safety Subject Seasloos for the 1961 Safety Congress h a m .been outlined . and are now being finalized. ='FS-i-'ife-f "i The Society's Qff-The-Job Safety Program started last yearia now being ' extended.to our .CtaBters s?:cy;i ? - # . v;:r . i I T . - . - 'h- ; f e f i i ..; V. Retort nf the Vice President for Membership - ? i , -fr -v-': ; :. In the absence at the Vice President for Membership, Mr. Benson presented the following report. -Ov yii;>,. y.;# ; m.r-U-t 'y'iisV In spite of the turn down In the economy during the.second h a l f o f t h a year, i960 turned out to be a good year for both sales and membership. Earned dues and sales lncome,thpugh .note yet financed, ahouMapproxlmate 1^,720,000 as compered to $k,3^7*OOQ f o r l 959 - an increase of nine-per cent. The gain was a generalized; one-eachsubclaasifIcatloa of iacome reaching its hlgiest total In Council history. - y ; Membership dues and the additional purchases ,of members amounted to $3,190,000 - an Increase of $105,000 or three, per cent over 1939 Seles; outside of the membershlp classlfication totaled ll,530,000 ^ a gain of $269,000 or 21 per cent over 1959 Included in thia, group a m t - Advertising and exhibit space sales -- up 12 per cent Purchases by Federal Oovernment .agendas -- up 13 per cent Non-member pmromiir '* ' ""# ^y^jpT21 ''per'cent'';_ The total' was further augmented by the sales of the 23 state, and-localsafety organizations participating in the new "Sales Agreement"plan. During I960, the first full year-of experience under this arrangement, the local Councils sold $13^,000 lr National Safety Council materials and re ceived commissions totaling $20,000. The Increasing importance of this miscellaneous classification of sales to the Council finances as well as Its accident prevention influence is illus trated In the Chart which showed the history of dues and sales revenue since 1950. - 8 - While member Income from duos and sales 1mj Increased 74 per cent du~ing this period, growth in the non-member categories of Su....s hus amounted to 295 per cent, and now provides approximately one-third of the Council's sales revenue. Although we have only Just begun to aim some of our sules promotion effort beyond the membership market, the fact that substantial annual progress is being wade in inter;stlng non-members in the Couuoil'u safety services is encouraging. Thank3 to the aggressive work of the membership volunteers, I960 memherahln results were the best in recent years. New memberships totaled l,0 'j4 the highest new member count since 195b. Cancellations, although still a major problem, numbered 745 - 12 per cent less than for the previous year, and the third consecutive year in which a reduction has been achieved. Our sales promotion emphasis during i960 vaa along two lines: (1 ) to in crease the number of products advertisod, and .(2 ) to broaden the market, to which our sales literature is mailed. The first objective wbb achieved through the introduction of a monthly, six-page, full-color brochure which was used both as a Rational Safety Hews house ad and as an enclosure in all of the new posters released each month, the brochure carried a "what's new" in Council materials feature, and advertisement of or.e of the Council's major products, and offered sample copies of the curt ,nt employee training booklets to prospective buyers. With the introduction of this new monthly multi-product promotion piece, we were able to Increase the number of products advertised in our mailing and enclosure program from an average 60 per year to 110. The objective of increasing the number of potential customers exposed to our promotion literature was achieved by Increasing our non-member and government agency mailing lists, and by Increasing the number of local , safety councils selling National Safety Council materials under tne sales agreement plan. Each of these councils are given a supply of all new promotion material to mail or otherwise distribute to the prospects lo cated in the areas they serve. Their sales work has greatly amplified the Council's sales program as we estimate that at least 50 per cent of their prospects are not members of the Council, or otherwise exposed to our sales efforts. VI. Industrial Conference Standing Committee Report; Mr. Roy P. Hamilton, as Chairman of Committees, reported that a meeting had been held on January 25 of ail the Conference Standing Committees, the Chairmen of the Standing Committees had then met with Group Vice Chairman, J. S. Queener, Mr. Hamilton had attended the other group due to the absence of Mr. LeGore. A. Audio Visual Aids Committee - W. E. Stuffing It was reported that the film catalog scheduled for June 1961 has been started. - 9 - The Flannel Board Survey has been completed end studied, results did nob Indicate any further action required In the area. Three new sufetygraphs are now available for sale from the national Safety Council, the subjects are: 1. Bard Hats 2. Office Safety 3. Longshoring (set of six) A subcommittee was appointed tc study the report on the feasibility of Sections and Associations submitting 3 5 m slides on specific subjects. Films to then be cataloged and sold by the Council. The conmlttee discussed the basic point award plan for the Vm. H. Cameron^Awazd.. ' B. Contests and Awards Committee - J.Llcyd Discussion concerning the presentation of tbs Distinguished Service to Safety" award revealed thatacme off tba-Sqctlans, as well aat h e employing company of an approved nominee m y want to make plans to hold functions'"iB.connection with presentation of this award prior to the October meeting of the Industrial Conference. A Motion was made and approved that the rules be changed to read: The endorser of a noalnee shall be notified when the nominee's application for award baa been approved by the Vice Frasident for Industry. ~u&t- All recipients of awards shall be?recognized at the October meeting of the Industrial Conference. -v : , ' v : : . It was suggested that the chairmen of SectlonS'be Informed of the "Distinguished Service to Safety" Maid, with advice "that applica tion forme are available upon Tequest. In connection with the Ita. H. Cameron Award, a proposed point basis for evaluating Section nativities relating- to contests and awards was made and after some discussion, the following Motion was presented and approved, that the five points available for this activity be al located at follows:, If Section has a Contest 1 point Promotion of a Contest 1 M Increase In number of conr testants oyer previous year (any number-) or If all mem * bers of Section are already participating 1.0 - Promotion of National Safety Council Award Plan Increase in number of annual reporters (any number) Quantity and quality of award presentations i point * " 1 As to the actual design and style of the Wm. H. 'omeron Award, this would he left to decision of the National Safety Council staff. C. Fire Prevention Committee - Parker C, Folse Mr. Foloe, Chairman of the Committee, reported hia group liad dis cussed th inclusion of Sectional Fire Prevention activity in the Wm. H. Cameron Award, it was agreed that prior to offering any sug gestions more time was needed for ttudy. The Safety for Fire Fighters publf ition project was discussed and there was considerable thought concerning the scope of the proposed material, with some Committee members feeling it should be limited to in-plant fire fighting crews. A letter would be sent to Mr. Cobb requesting progress on the project. The Committee, along with Mr. Queeuer, Group Vice Chairman, discussed the name change for the Committee. Several points of view were ad vanced. However, the consensus was to defer further discuss Ion to allow time to fully consider the question. The entire subject La to be placed on the October 1961, agenda. . D. Industrial Safety Training Committee - B. DeHeumcr A report was made on thu results of the Western Pennsylvania dufety Council Fundamentals Course, which ran the week of December -8 , i960, by Mr. Len Smith. The Western Pennsylvania Safety Council handled the promotion and publicity as well as securing classrooms and equipment. The Metals Section arranged for instructors. Simi lar courses are now being considered for Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and New York. A Motion was passed by the Committee to have the Council explore the possibilities of producing a series of three or four cards with a safety message on each one and n place to imprint the company name. The cards would also hove a place for the signature of the compuny president and would be sent to the hone address of u new employee, ft two-day training course outline for supervisors, previously pre sorted nt. the October Pi Peut Lug was approved. The next step U: tc direct this >ut,liue c nil Dectiuns with a cover letter urging the Sections to promote training of this type as a Sectional activity. u - The Council is planning a course lor training cafety instructorj . the objective of the course la to give qualified safety men the n^esanry training techniques to enable the to: teach safety. The courft would establish and aaintalnbaaic standards and would build a group of qualified Instructors from which the A.3.S;B. Chapters, Local iiafety Councils, Chambers of Conaerce aad oth a n would. be able to drew upon If they wished to conduct a course, in safety.

Nuclear Energy Committee - D. F. Hayes Reference w hs made to the Council's Radiation Safety Training Course which will be offered In cooperation with the Argonne National Lab oratory and the Atomic Energy Commission on February 27- March 3, 1961. Cood attendance la Indicated as n result of vide publicity given by the Council. The Nuclear Energy Committee reported progress by the Metals Section which has undertaken to develop a data sheet on using radiation thickness gauges. The Committee is also staking good progress on the revision of "Sources of Information on Nuclear Energy" Data Sheet. As requested at the October i960 Meeting, the compilation of the Atomic Energy experience In accidents involvliig both licensees and Coumisalon'd operations has been prepared. Copies were available for the Committoe to study and further publication of data' vlll be available In February In the AEC's annual report to Congress. There vlll be additional pub* Iteration of this Information in a Tochnice' Information bulletin at a later date, published by the Commission's office of Health and Safety. Mr. Fawcett, member of the Committee, offered to provide all members of the Industrial Conference with reprints of an article entitled "Citizen Atom which appeared in the December 11, i960 issue of the New York Times. The Committee also wished to announce that "Living With Radiation" Part II (fire service problems) la now available from the Government Printing Office, nils Is a companion to Part I. Part II Is currently appearing as a series of articles In the NATIONAL SAFETY NS.IB. G. Off-The-Job Safety Committee - T. J. Berk An analysis of the quarterly reports received from the National Safety Council members on off-the-Job Injuries during i960 was made by Mr. Sheppard. Copy of this summary Is attached es Appendix A. A discussion was held on methods of encouraging greater participation In the quarterly reports and an effort will he made to have the Sta tistical Division of the Council review the present report fora and in corporate changes which should aid in preparing a better report. A post card notice would also be sent to those companies who fall to submit the quarterly reports, but yet have volunteered to participate. H a l ion representatives with the various Sections have been appointed tj each Sectional Executive Committee and they are available for counseling and aiding In the program of Off-The-Job Safety.

The Chairmanof the A.S.S.S.Off-The-Job'8aTety Committee, stated that the 3ocietyhad approved the appointment of an Off-Tbe-Job Safety Com mittee in each Chapter, the Committee Chaijnsan of each Chapter would report to thelr Chapters on any nev devAlopoenbs. -; A report prepared by Marlon Martin on a Survey node onOff-The-Wob Safety through the State Labor Departmeets la attached *s Appendix B. A proposed survey form was presented and this will be nailed to all Indus - trial Conference naohers It was suggested that a copy of the quarterly report be sent wlththe questionnaires, A beala for awarding points for the Wn. 8. Cameron Award was discussed end approved . A proposed two-day workshop conference agenda bad been prepared for dis cussion end review. The first offthejob eafety wnferenas wee to be e regional one In the Chicago ere and was to be scheduled lor May 9-9, 1961. The Industrial Conference, after review and explanation or its purpose, approved this Off-The-Job Safety Conference. Information on the proposed "Learn to Swim" campaign was stir1led and a decision wao reached that the material would be discussed further at the May 1961 Meeting. In conclusion, Mr. Berk reported that he had ctnfe.-red with Mr. W. Montgomery, Dr. Wheatley and Mr. Ennes, Chairman of the Bone Confer ence on how Conferences' can cooperate in the prevention of Qff-The-Job Accidents. Such cooperation will be welcome from any Conference or Division of the National Safety Council. It was stressed, however, that such liaison is to be made by and through the Qff-The-Job Comnlttee when industrial firms were to be Involved in the promotion of off-theJcb activities. Research Projects Cmdttee - S. F. 3pence Study is being given to changes in the policy that guides this Committee. Copies of these changes had been sent to all Ccemlttee members for re view and reconnendationa that they slight feel were Decennary. The re vised policy was accepted as written and it will be forwarded for inclu sion in the Industrial Conference Manual. Copies of the revised policy would be sent to all Sectional Chairmen. Attention was then given to the research project on Safety Shoes. Pro fessor Cox presented a status report and Indicated some of the diffi culties now being encountered. Seme questions w e n raised, such as: 1. Should the standards state only performance and not how the shoe itself is made? (The Committee agreed that this should be the case.) 2. Should there be more than one level of foot protection speci fied In the Standards? Shoes to be used for high and low ex posures were discussed. (The Cmanittee believed that such a suggestion for dual Standards might prove feasible.) 3. Should the study os It is now progressing, concern Itself only with the shoe-cap, or with a more enlarged view of foot pro tection? (The Committee felt that only the cep should :<e the subjt ct of study at this time and a more complete foot protec tion >juld be studied later.) A report on a study covering approximately 1,000 companies wau read, this covered some 80,000 employees in the metal-working trades. It was clearly demonstrated that the first and fifth toes were the main digits being injured. The Research Projects Committee decided that a copy of the report should be forward., to manufacturers of the safety toe-cap and that both the Standards Committee and A.S.S.E. should be informed of this finding. It was also decided that a note Indicating interest on the part of the Research Projects Committee regarding the revision of ZUl.l should be frewarded to both groups. Discussion on the status of activities of the revision of Standard ZAl.l. (Safety Shoes) and A-6b Aineri'-n Standards For General Indus trial Stairs revealed that the Committee for revision of ZAl.l. is in process of re-orgBnlzatlon, and when a Chairman is assigned it will be operative. n r 13 - A-6k, a cuoationnalm prepared for this Standard, 1b bei ng me lied out to ell Committee member for their consider*.Mon. The Standards Committee la COW apprised of the fact that <.h- Re search Projects Comrlttea 1 interested In both these Standards. A point system plan for the Wm. a. Caoeren Award vns approved. Waps and u s n s of achieving batter Ualaonvilh other Caasdttees and with A.8.S.E. were discussed. A letter will be sent to each Committee Chairman, enclosing s copy of the revised. Research Project Committee policy along with a requeet that eaeh Cvonttte consider needed research and research projects now being conducted. An exchange of Minutes with the Research Projects Coomttee and A.S.3.E. would enhance liaison and 3tepa will ho taken to eatoblitn this exchange. I. Email Business and Associations - Frank ladaror In discussing automation dues It was felt that larger associations might pay higher dues and permit a lssser chargs to the smaller asso ciations. Pros time to time, mailer association have found It neces sary to drop membership bacause of the $80.00 fee. A Committee will he appointed to study membership fees and make sug gestions to the Council .j to she most equitable membership arrangement for nil doneru ed . The Council stuff rcpneawutntlvet were requested to obtain names of association that their repnctlvu Executive Committees feel might effectively cooperate In extending safety in their Ihluatry, the Small Business and Associations Conmittea would then follow up. It vaa urged that the staff of the Ccemlttee would continue to present informstlon on the Association program to the Sections. The monthly mailings that are now received by the Association Executive will be given a com plete study. A Ccmelttoe headed by Prad Deeg will make this study. The Committee approved a point system f the Wa. H . Cameron Award. Mr. taderer then reported on the resignation of Rsy Ellis to t&se a position In Be fork. Mr. Sills will serve ae a Member-at-Large for the New fork Region Committee of the Small Business and Associations Committee. All Sections of the Industrial Conference m m requested to refer to two Snail Business and Associations Committee, those Associations which they believe should be concerned with, or intorasped in, outab'labing or strengthening a safety program.

It fiad been proposed that the Council accept sponsorship of A.S.A. B13-1921* Logging and Sawmill Safety Code. A poll conducted among inter ested parties In the Wood Products Section'and the Pulp and Paper 8oction, resulted In a substantial majority of opinion adverse to the Council's sponsoring the B13 Code. Discussion In the moating favored exploring the possible need for a national Logging and Sawmill Code, and the alternative If the Council does not accept sponsorship. Mr. Hill, Coosa.ttee member, volunteered to discuss tiicse questions with the Pulpand Paper Section Executive Caanittoe, and was to request Mr. Gilmore to discuss thorn with the Hoods Products Section Executive Coamittee. In the meantime, action of the Comslttee on National Safety Council sponsorship of this code is deferred. Material describing the Wm. II. Cameron Award point system was distributed and discussed. Mr. R. P. Gldel presented a report on the acti v e s of the Bureau of Labor Standards, U. S. Department of Labor, in ...< 'ring state codes end regulations with American Stanlards.

The Section'c Exeouti v-- Cocisittee held Its Winter meeting in Hew York (.ti January 16-17* 1961. l't vur noted that, during i960, each newsletter carried an editorial on the front page written by an airline board chairman, president or vice president. During 1961, the Air Transport Newsletter will feature front page editorials written by well-known people in fields related to air transportation. For cxsmpLe, guest editorials for 1961 ir,ve already been received from Conceal Quesada, Administrator Federal Aviation Agency; Colonel Tubbs, Assistant for Ground flefety, U. 3 . Air Force; Mr. I/wterer, Managing Director, Flight Safety Founda tion and from others of equal prominence. Tlie Hewn Letter Editor is planning to publish a mlnlr.ua of four, sixpoge newsletters in l'/Sl. sad arrangements have been made with the National Safety Council to insert an extra sheet into the regular newsletter. At the time of the Congress Newsletter Editor'3 meeting, the Section'a Editor proposed that all newsletter editors got to gether shortly after taking on their newsletter assignment. This sug gestion was nppro/t. 1 by th- editor:! and the Council. As a result, a "get-together" to exchange ideas anil experience is to be held in Philadelphia in conjunction with tills present meeting of the Indus trial Conference. In the area of research and engineering during the Section's October 19, i960 Executive Conmdttee Meeting, It was unanimously agreed to change the name of the Engineering Division to "Research and Engineer ing Division." This will place additional emphasis on research work being carried on by the Section members. One research project has been completed. Hits project entitled "Flush ing Test for Fuel Spills on Black Top Ramp Areas" was reported in the Section at the October meeting. The purpose of the project was to re duce personnel injuries, fire hazards and damage to black-top surfacing material. An evaluation was made of various methods and products in treating and flushing away Jet fuel spills. Other major reoearch pro jects are being worked l by Section members. 1 . An analysis of the flammable vapor area which may exist on airport ramps during aircraft fueling operations.2 2 . The effect of Jet engine blasts on various types of glass used in airport terminal buildings. ?0 j. Testa to validate the use of "attitude" tenting to pre determine the susceptibility of prospective employees to r.ccidents. U. Noise surveys at alrportB to determine the overnll noise levels produced in various areas by Jet engines under normal operating conditions to verify or disprove the adequacy of existing hearing conservation programa and personal protec tive equipment. Other work being dono by the Research and Engineering Division is as follows: 1 . At the request of one member, an evaluation test, was conducted of a commercially available anti-skid paint: Three-quarters of this project is complete. 2 . A study 1 being made of public liability type of ground inci dents and accidents to determine the nee tor technical publica tions such as data sheets to reduce potential and actual in juries In this area of ground safety. 3. Current procedures on "grounding" of aircraft during mnlntenance, servicing or storage operations ore being reviewed. This review is being coordinated with the National Fire Pro tection Association 'i. Committee on Aviation and Static Electricity. U. The possible ingestion of personnel Into the Intake of operat ing Jet engines Is being Investigated to determine ways and means to eliminate or reduce this possibility. 5 . A review la being made of existing National Safety Council Air Transport technical material (data sheets, safetygraphs, etc.,) to determine need, If any, for revision. Mr. Christoffel pointed out that all National Safety Council publica tions of an educational and training nature pertaining to the Section have been reviewed to assure that they are both current and usable. It was also determined that the posters ore still usable, however, it was agreed that the poster artwork, layout and color left something to be desired and provisions are to be made to have the Committee re view future posters before printing. Safetygraphs and 31 will have to be revised to inclua Jet air craft safety material. The Committee had already determined through the staff representative how this could be done and the cost of such revisions. Plans are being mode to go ahead and develop tlie changes required to make the safetygraphi. under dlseussl >n current. The cection ' membership count of V> has remained the same alr.ee October I960. Two airlines are being contacted as prospective members. - 21 - At the October meeting'a Planning Cbmmlttea via established l'ir the purpose of developing a progressive plan for increased achievement by the Section. At the January 16-17 Meeting the Planning Comalttee submitted lte report covering organization, iy-lava and duties of Committee Chairmen, planning, scheduling, projects end so forth. The scope of the report was ao great that the Executive Committee decided to concentrate at this time on two major items rmcontsended In the report. 1. A Committee vas formed to develop detailed recaenendations regarding the Section's organization and structure including By-Lava and duties of Conttittee Chairmen. 2. The Statistical Chairman vas instructed to Investigate the development of a uniform system of classifying accident types, causes and factors, a system simple enough to use and stiffici- ' ently detailed _o be of value. Aircraft nud ground equipment damage an.* ground accidents to passe*;??* and the general pub lic a m to be included along with employee injuries. An Off-The-Job Safety Committee vas established and various waya and means for determining members' experience were discussed. An inves tigation will be made to see bow much usable data is available through insurance company, medical department and personnel department records. A copy of the Fall issue of the H m e Safety Review" vas provided to all members of the Executive Committee. Contests and Awards : During the award year frem September 1, 1959 to August 31, i960 the Air Transport Section members earned tvo Awards of Honor, eight Awards of Merit, lb CcmmendStion Avoids and kj President's Letters. From September 1, i960 to th present date, one award of Merit has been earned... In conclusion Mr. Christoffel reported that it was agreed that the Sec tion's I96I Congress Program would he built around.the thane of "Do-It- Yourself Training Aids." Various ways of developing safety training aids at low cost were discussed. It is anticipated that this program will be very valuable to our own Section members as veil as to all Council members. . C. Automotive and Machine Shop Section Mr. 0. Humphrey, Chairman of tue Section, was unable to be present; the following written report had been submitted: The Section held a meeting on October 18, i960. Another meeting was held on January 18-19-20, 1961. Both enjoyed excellent attend ance . In regard to the Automotive Material Handling Devices, it wa3 de cided that this 3hould be prepared as general rules with specifics to be developed later. The Committee will compile material on hold back devices on conveyors for both up and down travel. Safety Interpretations J. I. C. Electrical Standards; Intense disappoint* ment was expressed because this material had been rejected for data sheets by tie National Safety Council. It was decided to refer it to the Electrical 3ctlon for their consideration. Movies ana booklets on A.B.C.'a (non-power) Hand Tools vlll be made available. Steel Bailer (Scrap Baler) to be referred to the Metals Section. Mr. Humphrey reported that speclnl assignments were nude to de. . the handbook, and completed material for thin will be available : the May meeting. Swap Shop Ideas will also be compiled to be reany for the May meeting. Plans for establishing a Speaker's Bureau of all members of the ATM are being made and assignments for speeches are to be made through the National Safety Council. A manual entitled "Industrial Hygiene Manual for Safety Engineers" is also ready for publication. Mr. Humphrey noted that membership has shown a slight decrease and definite plans are underway to reverse this trend. The Off-The-Job Committee felt that there was a vast quantity of ma terial that was not being used to Its fullest value, and In order to start the full use of this, a questionnaire will be circulated to determine the best methods. All Committees expressed determination to gat articles In on time to the Newsletter Editor. The suggestion was made that the past General Chairman and other inactive members be carried In a special advisory grouping. Details and purposes of meetings were carried in leading Kansas City newspapers and In addition, the General Chairman for the entire group was presented an official key of the city. All details for October's Congress Programs were finalized and It will be comprised of four speakers and Tradin' Post. Cement, Quarry and Mineral Aggregates SeeLira Mr. F.

Revision of the Data Sheet "Jackhamaars in Quarries" is being under taken. Currently> this la in the hands of the Engineering Coraittee of the Construction; Section for additions to cover the use of Jack hammers in their industry. A review of the assignments for preparation of the Data Sheet "Con veyors Used in the Cement, Quarry and Mineral Aggregates industries" will be made at the next meeting-of the Engineering Committee. This is necessary because of changes in staff personnel and Committee make-up. Slides, photos and miscellaneous matefials have already been collected. The revision of the Detail. Sheet "Edn Platform.'- has been sent for review to the Engineering Committee and recommended Changes will be reviewed at the next. Committee meeting. Tins Engineering Committee is also considering the preparation of a Data sheet "Drop Ball Type of Rock Breaking;" It was reported that at the i960 Congress Program of the Section, the audience was invited to submit suggestions, for the 1961 program. From these, a.list of 17 topics was presented at the Executive Com mittee meeting for study prior to the Jonuary meeting; iru.addition, a half dozen more topics were suggested by the Executive Committee members. A full listing of these suggestions has been sent to all members of the Executive Committee with the minutes of the October i960 Meeting. It Is anticipated t h a t a firm selection of;program topics will be made at theJenuary meeting. The Section's Visual Aids Committee is planning tq seefe.prior to the full meeting of the Executive Committee meeting on January 24. At that time they will edit a new group of:.slides related to "Safeguard ing New Equipment" which will be added to the existing "Safety Ideas Illustrated" series. In addition, there is materif1 to be developed in conjunction with the .extended campeltpi for..promotion of personal protective equipment. _ i- The Section's Training Conmittee having met twice prior to the Con gress to formulate objectives and procedures, also met during Congress week to outline asalpaenta. It la:proposed, as an Initial step, to establish a regular column In the newsletter and at the meeting in October an introductory article and the.first three follow-up articles were worked out and placed in the hands, of ttte Newsletter Editor. With regard 'o the personal protective material campaign, the materia] for the initial phase (hard hats) of the proposed four-year program for the promotion of 100 per cent use of personal protecti-re jquipmen; nas been prepared and is now in the hands of the National Safety Council s t a f f . Lt In hoped that thin campaign wl Li get under way during the f i r s t quarter of ly til. The Statistic.-', and Cent -nta Committee Is continuing to work with the Statistical Department of the Council In an effort to resolve apparent contradictions between industry Information as published in "Accident Facts" and as lt appears in the "Explosive Engineer" magazine. The Committee la confident that eventually this question can be resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned. E. Chemical Section Dr. E. G Meiter, Chairman of the Chemical Section, reported that the Section's Executive Committee had met on October 18, at the La Sf-JLle Hotel, with 28 memberB and several guests present.

The Section's Health Committee plans to complete the revision of Silica Bearing Dusts (Safety Reprint #6) and Industrial Dusts (Health Practices Pamphlet #*) by the end of January 1961. The Technical Publications Committee of the "Section has undertaker, the review of nine uata sheets as follows: Acetic Acid Acetone Aniline Antimony and Its Compounds Formaldehyde Hydrogen Sulphide Oxalic Acid Picric Acid Chemical Safety References The Chemical Section did publish in the January 19<sl issue of the Chemical Section Newsletter a questionnaire for use In obtaining ac cident prevention data on materials UBed In Industry having hazardous properties that can result in injury or property damage (Know Your Chemicals). This questionnaire was offered to members as suggestions as to the questions member companies can ask the suppliers. As to the 19bl Congress 1'rogrem the Section will co-sponsor with the Occupational Health Nursing Section In a morning session on the psychology of chemical accidents. A Joint afternoon session will be sponsored by the Racket and Missile Sub-section of the Section ami the Aerospace Section covering the subject of guided missile and rocket safety. The Laboratory and Pilot Plant Sub-section of the Chemical Section will co-sponsor with the toerlcan Society of Safety Engineers In a morning session or safety In laboratory operations. The Section will also eO-sponsor with the A.8.S.E. in a morning ses sion on Radiation Hazards. The Section's Training Ccnmittee is preparing a critique of a poster on pipe line liquids: developed by the Council. At least six posters will be prepared by the Council as a result of ideas submitted by the Chemical Section. A direct appeal was made b y letter to key cental .ambers of the Chemical Section to establish an' off-the-Job safety program and re port experience to the' National Safety Council. A reprint of the article entitled T h e Challenge to Management of Off-The Job Acci dents," which appeared, in the RATIONAL SAF E R NEWS for June i960 was included with the letter. The Chemical Section suggested in a letter to the Chairman of Off-TheJob Safety Committee of the Conference* that the Industrial Conference consider "soliciting, the cooperation'of the various.: state- department s of labor and industry m fostering off-the-Job safety through their field representatives or other means in such manner and degree that may be reasonable and not contrary to the authority." Dr. Waiter concluded M b report by noting that for tbs five-month period of July-Movember, i960 the Chemical Section-had gained U new members. There were 11 cancellations. As of November 30, i960 there were 536 members .in the Section. Coal Mining 8actlon .

Within the area of visual aids five out of 12 posters subuittei at the October Congress will be u&ed In developing Council posters. These will be added to the Council poster selection and will be available to the industry. - 26 - The Roof Control CcTOr.ltt.ee of the i960 National Campaign to Prevent Injuries from Roof Kails in Coal Mines terminated on December 31, i960. A final bulletin shoving the results achieved by participat ing mines will be developed and. sent to all enrolleea. Avards will be Issued to theme mines, supervisors, local unions, and local union safety committeemen who qualify under the campaign requirements. The Section's Publicity Committee has been active in getting Congress papers and safety articles In trade publications, magazines and other media. The Coal Mining Newsletter continues to disseminate safety information and articles pertinent to the Coal Mining Industry. It was noted, with deep regret that the Chairman of the Membership Com mittee lost his life in an automobile accident recently. G. Construction Section Mr. R. L. Moore, Chairman of the Section reported that during the i960 Congress the Construction Section Executive Ccmmittee was in almost continual session for three and a half days. This busy schedule, unprecedented In the history of ihs group involved: 1 . Construction Section Executive Committee meeting on Sunday evening, October 16, which was attended by 1*5 members. 2 . Five separate Workshop sessions involving members of Build ing, Highway, Heavy, Specialty and Home Building Divisions, were held on mornings of October 17-18 and 19. 3. Three separate program sessions involving Building, Highway and Heavy Construction Safety were held on the afternoons of October 17-18-19 and the c-.w.flowing crowds Indicated interest In three fields of safety in construction. U. Two separate visual aid film showings of seven new Construc tion safety films on the mornings of October 18-19, drew good crowds of construction attendees, who normally would not be attracted to other morning sessions. In the area of Engineering the following progress was to be noted: 1 . Data Sheet "Lift Slab Concrete Construction" ballot review draft to be mailed January 13, 1961. 2 . Data Sheet "Tilt-Up Concrete Construction" ballot review draft mailing to be completed by February 1 , 1961. 3. Data Sheet "Temporary Electric Wiring for Construction Power and Lighting" - publication draft copy to be completed and forwarded to the editorial department by February 1, 1961. ,. Data Sheet "Material Hoists and Elevators" publication draft copy to be completed and forwarded to editorial department about February 8 , 1961. - 27 - 5. Data Sheet revision "Concrete Mixers and Pavers" was submitted to the Construction Section Engineering Committee for review and revision in February i960 and again in October i960. 6 . Data Sheet revision "Motor Graders, Bulldozers and Scrapers" was submitted to the Construction Beetion Engineering Com mittee tor review and revision in February i960. 7- Construction Safety Hints. Several manuscripts for continued publication of thlSvlten at 11 per year were received. Mr. Moore also reported-thatvith reeusd to.tfceir Congress Program three divisions ware involved, namely, Building, Highway, Heavy and they sent out questionnaires after both tin .1959 and the. i960 Congress sessions. This procedure has proved, its worth in planning for the next year's Congress Progran.

To be effective today, our warning must include calls for greater scientific Bkill, more efficiency, bigger production, faster growth, and above all a very serious call about the extremely important part that the prevention of accidents at work, at home and on the hiriiways will play in the winning of the cold war. - 28 - If this sounds fantastic or unbelievable to you, it is no more so than the fact that almost one million lives were lost and over one hundred bullion dollars vested, as a result of acoldents in the past ten years. This is reedless vaste at its worst. This is a threat to our national secxlty. Ho nation with that kind of record of wasted lives and resources can consider itself in firstclass condition to wage a life and death struggle. We are of course, all aware that our country is engaged in a life and death struggle, and that our most vital interests are at stake. The outcome of this struggle will affect every one of us. It will affect our Jobs, our businesses, our ata rdard of living, and the well-being of our fan. lies. It is in `very sense of the word a struggle for survival In this struggle of ,,.v sixties, ve shall either prove to the world that our way of life is the most ficicfc.t, the most humane, and the best way, or we shall go down to an ignominious and dreadful, defeat. The day is past when we can waste lives and resources with impunity. The day is past when ve can afford to ignore our major social problems, or calmly pass off as statistics the killing of over one hundred people a day on bur highways. The day is peat when we can disregard the effect of our actions on world public opinion, without substantial hurt to ourselves. If ve want to prove to the world that we will not be overtaken economically by any other power, if ve want to shew the world we can grow as fast or faster than any other country under any other kind of system, ve will have to operate at top efficiency. Ve can no longer afford the luxury of waste through accidents; Make no mistake about it. In every phase of this cold war the ef ficient conduct of our industries, the extent to which they are kept free of accidents, and the extent to which our hemes and our highways are kept free of accidents will have a major effect*in determining our ability to meet our objectives. The warning should be very clear. We dare not repeat the wnats of the frightful fifties, during which we threw away tbs Itvea of almost one million Americans without batting an eyelash, and dumped over one hundred billion dollars In costs down the sewer, by the most shame ful route of accidents. Ve can, we must, end ve will do something about it if ve heed this warning and understand how seriously Important it is to all of ua. The prevention of accidents on the Job, at home, and on the highways, has become the number one factor, where each of ua can and must effec tively do his pert to help our country with this cold war. I appeal to you to make your own safety in the sixties one of your major con tributions to your country's effort." - 29 - In continuili the report Mr. Moore pointed out that the Construction Section are alao atemben of the Associated Cenerai Contractors of America and they, therefore, report their accident statistics to the AGC so there are no plane to duplicate this effort since the ACC also make tlrUinformatiob available to the Connell as do the Corps of Engineers of tha U.

The New fork City ConstructionSection Executive Ccraaittee meeting on January 18-20, 1961 was'Scheduled to run durlngtha aaaeveek and con currently with the National Constructors* Association 3afetyiConsnittee. All of the members cf this Coranittee were luvxted to attend the meet ing of the Section's Executive Coraslttee. Qne^half of this RCA grotq> of 20-25 people are already members of the Coranittee and nearly ail will attend the Hew York meeting. - This ls aost Indicative of the close cooperation that exists. - U - i-'..- The General Chairman, Mr. !loore gained publicity for the Council's Con struction Section in the annual.issue of-Chicago'a Construction News; published on December 21, i960; the article read as foUowat If someone were to ask the question as to who Is the spokesman for safety in construction hperatlons it would be very difficult to nane any one man. Why Is this truel Well, fop the simple reason that there is a recognised national safety, group that concems ltself vith the construction safety problems of our country in all phases of the huge construction'Industry. ::This groups consists of ;90 persons that repre sent contractors, labor, government safety engineers,! association and Insurance company safety engineers. So ve could say that this group could be. considered ast h e recognised authority in the matter of construction safety because their members represent all branches of the Industry;- namely, building, heavy, highway, specialty and home bulliing. During the year I960 the Con struction Section's Executive Committee belt three meetings, which were all well attended. These meetings included workshops where the assembled group labored on the development ard production of con struction safety training aids which are produced for the industry by the National Safety Council. High point of the work for the year I90O was on the development of agreement by the Committee on content of basic safety programs for contractors in all of tha five divisions'of the industry. This Is a continuing program that la being carried forward into the year 1961. - 30 - It is true that the successful safety program must be tailored to meet the specific needs of each Job. Proof that contractors have been doing a good Job over the years is given by citing statistics that date back to the year 1926. In that year, the-frequency rate of accidents in construction vas 57.70 and the severity rate was 5iW*0. Ey 1933 the frequency rate bad declined to 55.66 and the severity rate was up to 5,760. In 19k0 the frequency rate vas 33.17 and the severity rate had dropped t o 3,580. In 1959 the fre quency rate vas only 18.78 and the severity,ratewas 2,2^9. Predictions as to vhat the rates for the construction industry will be for both i960 and 1961 canwt be Bade atuthta.tiaa.but if one can draw any coneluslonafrem the. work that is being done by contractors and labor alike, with;the assistance of the insurance companies and governmental agencies, va can look forward to continued Improvement for both years. It v l U take the effortof all of us in the Con struction Industry - let's all remember that construction can be safe! - - g. electrical gQulpnent Section Mr. B. J. Turton, Chairman of the Electrical..equipment Section reported that their annual meeting took place in Chlcago on October 18> with 2k members in attendance. `.'tor r The first meeting of the Executive Committee in l96l was held in Allsntovn, Pennsylvania an January 11-12 at the Amerlcus Hotel.

Further plana to discussed and reviewed at the June Meeting. An off-the-job survey report is to be prepared, its purpose will be to learn more about the activities of the.various companies in-the field of off-the-Job safety.^ Subsequently,* sumary will be prepared and sent to all members who respond to the survey, .It has also been de cided that the newsletter will carry items on off-the-Job safety in each issue. Up-to-date listing of prospective members will be distributed to Execu tive Committee members for personal contact possibilities in their geo graphical location. The staff representative is to review Council's supplying Executive Committee members with materials which would help them do a more effective Job in recruiting new members. Total membership to date is 151. 32 In conclusion Mr. Turtoh noted that 1961 stands as a ye)' ol` chal lenge to ovai''/ Section of the Industrial Conference. The Wm. it. Cameron Award can be a serious challenge to the talents of every man on every Committee of the Electrical Equipment Section, to ex tend their best efforts In the interests of aafety.. 1. Fertilizer Section The following report had been presented by the Chairman, Mr. Raney, since he wao unable to be present. The Section's Executive Coramitt <e meets three tinea each year. Gen erally in February, June and October. Attendance at those meetings Is usually 90 per cent or better. The Section, with the assistance of the liitton&l Plant Food Institute and the Rational Safety Council, has prepared a Fertilizer Safety Guide Booh. It will be released for distribution during January 1961. This guide represents several hundred years of experience in the fertilizer industry and will be useful to small fertilizer manufactur ers who do not employ full-time safety engineers. Special efforts in the field of membership are continuing, the Member ship Chairman is systematically covering the fertilizer manufacturing areas of the U. S. with letters going out to all non-members. A follow up procedure and a letter for cancelled members has new teen established It is noted that the Fertilizer Section enjoys th. services of a Super visory Training Committee. This Committee 1b composed of five chairmen from the Executive Committee, who organize and conduct supervisory training classes in five regions within the U. S. There were 186 par ticipants in this training program for i960. / In conclusion, Mr. Raney referred to their Congress Program which Is complete at this time and observed that the Fertilizer Section 1b pro viding the Industry with a very necessary service In the prevention of accidents and injury. J. Food and Beverage Section Mr. N. L. Heuar, Chairman of the Food and Beveragi Section, reported that as in previous years the Food and Beverage Ejection has been very active in carrying out all phases of sectional r.ctivlty and as In past years had nine active industrial divisions. ;Each division has a Chair man and' Secretary and in some cases a Vice Chairman. These divisions hold meetings at various times throughout the yoar and then report to the Section's Executive Committee, The Executive Committee met on October 20, at thi Sheraton Towers, with 29 members in attendance. Earlier during tho week of Congress the outgoing Executive Committee held a meeting with 50 of their mem bers present - at these two meetings reports were rec. Ived. fran all Committees and divisions and progress made during the >ar was noted. I - 33 - The Grain Handling and Processing Division Is withering mute rial 'or a proposed Data Sheet on "Hazards of Men Worfclng In Grain Bins and Food Tank Cars" and a rough draft of the Data Sheet "Unloading Bulk Grain Cars" has beer, sutxnttted. However, further research Is being done on this. With regard to the 1961 Congress Program some of the Section members believe it should be streamlined by eliminating a Tuesday luncheon meeting. A H divisions of the Food and Beverage Section are again being urged to develop and carry on round-table sessions and an effort is being smde to Include their trade associations in these sessions. The Bakers1 Division completed a survey to determine needs for plant and fleet posters. The division is cooperating with .he American Bakers' Association in an effort to develop posters. The Soft Drinks Division has completed some art work for a proposed set of colored slides on truck backing accidents. The Brewers' Divi sion at their last meeting in Chicago planned on developing some new visual aids for the Browing Industry. The Dairy Products Division presented a very interesting visual aid entitled "Sputnik, the Moon and Profits" and this presentation was so well received that the Section plans to request their Visual Aids Committee to i'ollcw-up on this par ticular presentation by making it available in kit Torm for use in plants. The Section^ Off-Tlic.-Job Safety Committee has authorised headquarters to make a special mailing of a questionnaire, surveying the off-the-jcb ac tivities of Section members. - Division Chairman have outlined tile scope of their groups ac that a study con be made of the correctness of contest entries. The Bakers' Division ia working with the Safety Committee of the American Bakers' Association in an effort to set up a Jointly sponsored fleet contest similar to the one existing in the Bakery Plant Contest. It was noted that Dr. ?. Rush, Health Director of the Section's Execu tive Committee for almost 20 yours, and Medical Director for the Corn Products Company, received the Distinguished Service to Safety Avard on October 19, i960. The Section's Executive Committee has added members, who It is believed, can strenghten its liaison with the several associations who are influ ential in the nine industry divisions - co-sponsorship in sessions is uiie aim. The newsletter Editor hopes to make available interesting anl beneficial newsletters to all members cf the Section and is particularly interested in not only achieving wide coverage of activities from the members but also beneficial materials from other Section newsletters. - jJl - A new Training Committee was appointed and it. la now eons Id.-ring proniotion of one or two-dy courses tor supervisors, The First. Vice Chairman of the Section attended the Council's training meet Inga on November 10-11, i960 In Chicago. Mr. Heuer added that he lind referred to nine divisions. Hovv-'t', at their last Executive Committee meeting, the Agricultural Division wm; changed to a Committee so as to better represent other divisions with agricultural interests. With such a change the Sectional Divisions will total eight. K. Class and Ceramics Section Mr. Wray, Chairman of the (Unas and Ceramics Section, reported that, there had been no meeting of his Section since the October 1900 Congress. Their next meeting wns scheduled for April 10, l'/il Ln Detroit, Michigan to afford members the opportunity to attend mootings of the American Industrial. Hygiene Association Conference. The manuscript for the Data Sheet "Masonry 11,vj" haa been prepared and forwarded to the Technical Publications Committee for their action. In preparing for the next Congress meeting, efforts will be made to pro vide portions which will tic appealing and beneficial to the newer workers in the field of safety and other portions pertaining to problems of more particular intercut and value to wickers of greater experience.. An effort will be made to compile al.ntiut.inu oil off-the-Job aeoidentn ill which the employees arc directly Involved. This Information, when assembled, should be valuable I... Mi- entire Industrial Conference. In the are of membership very effort will be made to retain the members already enrolled anil to enroll new ones so ttiat the year may shew a 1.0 per cent gain. Contestants of the previous year are automatIcaLly re-entered far the new contest period and the Executive Committee of the Section la most active in efforts to increase the mistier of participants. L. Hospital Safety Services (No Sectional lltutua) The following report wnu presented tiy Mr. Huy Ellis for the Hospital Safety 3ervica. During I960 the American Hospital Association and the National Safety Council have continued their co-sponsorship of the hospital uuioty services and the HoapltuL flal'ety Contest.

General sessions wore held on Stevedoring, Shipbuilding, Inland Waterways, Tank Ships, Cargo Ships, and U. S. Coast Guard, a luncheon held .lointly with the Propeller Club of the Port of Chicago. In the area of engineering, It wea reported that four maritime safetygraphs had been completed for the Bureau of Labor Standards, U. 3. Department of Labor. Two additional, (completing the aeries of six) prepared in preliminary form and sent to the Bureau for review and approval prior to printing. These are to be completed during the flr3t half of 1961. A Subcommittee was appointed to line up programs for the 1961 Congress on subjects of Stevedoring, Shipbuilding, and Inland Waterways. In off-the-job safety it was noted.that the shipbuilding industry is the one branch of the Marine Section best suited to activity in this field. .... With regard to Association there la cooperation with American Waterways Operators in promotion of their safety program, including Council Adminstrattoa of Barge and Towing Vessel. Safety Contest* Various industry trade associations cooperate actively with the Marine Section through membership of their officers on,the Section's Executive Committee. For additional publicity the American Waterways Operators are mailing contest rules, registration forms, etc., to all their members with publicity in their weekly, newsletter to promote greater participation in the Barge and Towing Vessel Industry Contest. The Public Informa tion Officer of the American Merchant Marine Institute serves as Pub licity Chairman for the Marine Section, be has secured extensive pub licity in New York papers for the i960 Marine Section Congress Sessions. - J6 - fl.

In the atinen' of the Chairman, Mr. Mackenzie, the had been pr> sented. report, The Sect! n's Executive Committee held one meeting In December i960 nt he NHtionnl Safety Council headquarters. No fur .her atudy has been made on studying the safety aspada of human slaughtering in the Meat hacking Industry* The proponed schedule of Section activities for the 1961 Congress Prc jram were submitted at the Section's December Executive Committee Mee .ing. The suggested theme is Mnterinl Handling, since that is one of ran,for problems within the industry. There tire at present '<") participants la the Meat Pushing Contest unit 1*9 participants In the Leather and Tanning Products. At the lust Executive Committee meeting the Section's Contest rules were reviewed and plans were made to revise the rules for next year's contest. During the Last Executive Committee meeting discussion was held re garding participation of the Council In the l*)6l convention of the National Independent Meat Packers Association at the American Meat Institute. Both of these conventions will be hold in Chicago this year and plans are being fo..ulated to have a safety exhibit. The staff representatives' participation at the last convention wan con sidered beneficial and It is honed that this year's activities w<ll to equally successful. The staff representative in working closely with the association and has been instrumental in promoting new inter est in accident prevention activities. In the area of publicity It vus noted that the magasine, National, Provi3ioner, had done a tremendous Job In reporting and promoting the safety activities in the Ment Packing Section. ,A number of other safety articles have appeared in Meat Magazine and o,,her periodicals for the industry. At the Section's last Executive Committee meeting plans were formu lated for continuing the newly developed Supervisors Accident Pre vention Course. It is anticipated that the next training school will be held in New York. Additional plans will be discussed at the next Executive Conaittee meeting. Plans are still tinderway for developing ", safety manual for the meat packing industry. The Tannera Sai' jty Manual ia scheduled for revision and a report will be ma^e at the next Executive Committee meeting. The Section's accident figures were computed and reviewed and It wits agreed to make some revisions which would give a more repivumiitutlve picture of the Industry. A concerted effort will be mt.de to obtain more reporters which in turn would tend to improve the accuracy of the statistics. - 37 - Metala Section Mr. Gilliland) Chairman of the p.bove 8ection reported that the t'ir3t meeting of their Executive Committee vas held on December 15, at the Council offices and that it was preceded by a planning meeting attended by officers. Cosedttee Chairmen and several of the Section's past General Chairmen. Subjects for two new data sheets were submitted to the Engineering Ccnmittee a m one existing data sheet was prepared for revision. These are in addition to 11 new, data sheets now being prepared and four that are being revised or cleared for:revision- Eight Safety Instruction Cards covering the subject of Foundry Operations are being reviewed for revision. . The Training and Education, Committee la consl iiing the development of a slide film job safety analysis program of. the type, developed and used by Republic Steel Company. A typical program of this kind was presented to the entire Committee for, thedr-. review and. consent The Training and Education Ccsssittee co-sponsored a "Fundamentals of Safety Training" Course In Pittsburgh during the week of December 5*9 The program was well received and consequently future sessions are to be considered for Cleveland, Buffalo and Syracuse plus a "repeat performance" at Pittsburgh. .... Qff-The-uob safety continues to receive attention from all Cceaslttees in their projects and from all individuals at their plants. The Metal Section continues among the leaders in a number of companies reporting off-the-Job statistics to the National Safety Council. Awards were presented at the i960 Congress to 236 Contest Winners. Qoa thousand one hundred and sl^ty-eight contestants completed the contest represent ing 2,516,823,000 van-hours worked. The first place In Group A was won by Gary Steel Works, U. 3. Steel Corporation which established a new steel industry safety record, of 17,133,12k man-houro. The Section'b Membership Camnittt* is exploring the possibility of pro viding additional follow-up on each new- membership as well as continued efforts to follow-up on rtapreHatlpna. . , Efforts are being made to retain the representative of the Steel Plate Fabricators Association as a member of the Steel Fabricating Committee. :This Association contact, can be telpfulin reaching companies not otterwise exposed to the Council and. organised safety, activity. The Newsletter Editorjyoid the Co-Editor have a g d n assigned particular issues to various coemittees. This ,arrangement worked out well in the past year and it is hoped to continue to improve the quality of this publication as the Section's "voice to the membership." - 30 - In conclusion, Mr. Gilliland noted that the West. Coast Conanitt< reports that they vill aponi.nr thro half-day sessions at the Western Safety Congress In late March and they huve established contact with a safety group In the state of Washington.

Workshop sessions will be held on Monday and Tuesday so that individuals with dual responsibilities might cover food service on one day and hotel safety an the next. A full session of the Section would meet on the third day. In the area cf visual aids, individual organizations in cooperation with insurance companies continues to be the most effective source of sound filmstrips and movies. The Hot Shoppes and F. W. Wooivorth are two ex amples of activity in this area. Copies have been made available through the National Restaurant Association and the Council in several instances more cooperative effort in this regard is a Ccnoittee objective. In Off-the-Job Safety the Section is currently engaged in an investiga tion of the seriousness and extent of injuries and fires related to the unattended, 2k-hour, coin operated laundry and/or dry cleaning establish ments. This critically relates to an off-the-Job area that involves individuals from diverse industries and the. heme representatives of the worker. A major emphasis is given to off-the-Job aspects of safety since most of the trades and services deal with the individual from the Industrial location when he or she is in an off-the-Job role. A full issue of each of the Section's two newsletters will be devoted to off-the-Job safety during 19 6 1. The Greater Chicago Hotel Association and the Hotel Association of New York City continues to conduct an annual safety contest for their members. The association executive responsible for operation of the contest serves on the Executive Committee, although the program Is not directly related to the Council. The Sfeconi' Vice Chairman has been designated as Membership Chairman. Special articles are appearing in the two Trades and Services Safety Newsletters to acquaint the large number of complimentary mailings with the services available through a membership.
