General Duty to Protect Health and - All Safety of Employees places to which this chapter applies shall be so constructed equipped arranged operated and conducted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives health and safety of persons em- . ployed therein The board shall make rules to carry into effect the provisions of this section In certain jurisdictions the charge is not so specific but is rather a part of the general police power of the state and of the Health or the Labor Commissioner In practice there has been little question of the possession of authority in a given area with few exceptions the power to enforce is well accepted While the objectives of industrial hygiene are well crystallized and accepted in most areas it is important to note that the means of attaining these ends are often left to the decision of the industrial hygiene administrator For example in a certain health department the Division of Industrial Hygiene locates a definite health hazard after study and test The problem is to achieve correction and control It is at this point that the enforcing authority has leeway in method In general in labor departments the enforcement of safety rules and regulations is achieved in a somewhat routine fashion i.e. the inspector is required to issue the orders immediately on perceiving the called violation With respect to health violations the industrial hygiene divisions may after finding a violation move to obtain correction by agreement Not being successful after a reasonable period the Division of Industrial Hygiene may forward the papers to the Division of Inspection for necessary enforcement The important fact is that the industrial hygiene division has considerable latitude in ar- ranging for compliance with its requirements for the con- trol of a health hazard THE EDUCATION OF INDUSTRY During the last 10 years health has become a popular subject and along with the increase of knowledge and in- Presented at the Twelfth Annual Meeting AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE ASSOCIATION Atlantic City New Jersey April 26 1951 Reprinted from Amer Ind Hyg Assoc Quarterly Sept. 1951 terest in personal and public health matters there has gone a corresponding increase in knowledge and interest in the field of industrial health The work of the universities the insurance companies the Industrial Hygiene Foundation the National Association of Manufacturers the Public Health Service and other agencies has served to inform the industrialists of this country about health and particu- larly health in industry This has made the task of what must be done today a relatively simple one The key to educating industry to appreciate industrial hygiene lies in demonstrating the healthful plant working conditions are the basis of 1 good management 2 good working conditions generally 3 good union and worker relationships 4 decreased labor turnover and lost time and 5 decreased production losses and therefore costs of production In other words there are so many axiomatic and obvious reasons why healthful working conditions are good for management that it is only rarely that this direct approach fails Printed matter has also been of great aid Lastly factory inspectors should be utilized in the education of industry with regard to accident prevention industrial health and hygiene and public health PERSONNEL WITH WHOM TO DEAL At this point it is well to introduce a fundamental consideration namely the influence of company size on the whole problem of industrial hygiene and industrial health The size of the company and plant determines its administrative organization and the choice of persons with whom the industrial hygienist may deal In the small plant one man may make all important decisions may purchase as well as sell and at the same time be factory super- intendent Such an organization leaves little to the choice of the industrial hygienist He must see the boss of the establishment At the other extreme one may find a large organization where function and jurisdiction are limited and well defined Here there may be an industrial hygiene department a medical department a department of main- tenance a complete engineering department a personnel office a factory manager a plant superintendent and one or more safety engineers Between the small plant and the large one there are many gradations in size and in kinds of personnel Thus the choice of the person to whom to report is often made for the industrial hygienist by the company organization The plant manager or the plant superintendent must be acquainted with the efforts of the third a by Medicne of Library National the of colection the from copiedcopied copied copied copied was was was page page page page this this this on on material material material material material The The The 41 eet talabo n 8tahu treated was to be used as seed;
