D O O L IT T L E Aviation Manager, Shell Oil Company, St. Louis, Mo. The speaker said in part: There are few of us who appreciate the great care at is exercised in the operation of a modern air transport line to assure safety _ jd a degree of comfort as well. Any normal man or woman having average eye sight and no physical disabilities, and being possessed of average intelligence, can learn to fly an airplane in a relatively short time; but it is a far cry from the mere ct that one knows how to fly an airplane to the art of flying as practiced by airline lots who have made it their profession. These pilots are not only masters of every . "anch of the art of ordinary flying, but must take a post graduate course in blind jjr instrument flying. This training is given in special airplanes equipped with a ded cockpit and the pilot is obliged to fly by means of his instruments alone, as he not see outside the airplane. Probably unknown to the vast majority of air travelers, there exists in every tnodern air transport company today a complete medical division which closely exames the physical and mental qualifications of all their pilots once every month or six weeks. The examination is strict and thorough, and is given by physicians trained in aeronautical work. These examinations are in addition to those required setm-annually by the United States Department of Commerce. The eye examina tion requires that the pilot have not only normal vision, but that his judgment of 153 V Council `rent from the ire or unnatur c ?yes are slo^J of the costs -iman welfare H the older viewf -ealm of hun 5 ut efficiency, u uce the costs ,, iight and bodilyhut the recently! y which affect' rows new lighr'ell as the obviS This means th t| dcrs.

W E A V E R Vice President, Weaver Manufacturing Co., Springfield, 111. The speaker said in p art: In the automotive industry there is too much repaui and not enough maintenance, and too many managers that don't know the different between repair and maintenance. The repairer fixes very little but the maintainetl uses every means to prevent repairs. Maintenance takes care of the little things^ instead of allowing them to accumulate into heavy repair bills, interrupted operation and expensive claims. i It has been authentically reported that many companies make it so unpleasant foj their drivers when they report poor brakes, bad steering or other defects, that thef hesitate to register complaints for fear of losing employment. I, The problem of safe transportation on highways is not so much what a comparai^ tively few safety-conscious, well-financed and managed corporations can do, but wha| can be done through regulation to enforce safety maintenance and promote saflSj thinking among all motorists and fleet operators. 33 ' The answer to this maintenance problem surely lies in state or city operated in|| spection bureaus, where all vehicles are required to appear at intervals for inspection^ Memphis, Tennessee, is successfully operating such a bureau where all motor vehicles are required to appear once in six months for inspection, and a fee of fifty cents is charged, which maintains the station and gives to the city a surplus to be| used for further street and highway safety. It has resulted in a 25 per cent decrease^ in fatalities and casualty underwriters have reported a very substantial decrease property damage claims. JVB This station provides standardized inspection by trained operators. No repair|| work is done, no attendant is permitted to recommend any repair shop. The motor*|| ist may go to any shop he chooses or, if capable, he may do the necessary correcting^ himself.

HEINRICH A ssistant Superintendent, Engineering and Inspection Division, The Travelers Insurance C o, Hartford, Conn. The speaker said in part: According to data provided by the U. S. Depart-j ment of Commerce, 342,489 tons of cargo valued at $10,910,429,000 were handled j for export and import in the United States in 1932. This includes cargo handled j on the rivers and lakes as well as at ocean ports. The payroll required was'; $188,000,000. Estimated payments for compensation and employers' liability claims4 and for medical and hospital services amounted to approximately $14,000,000. j In addition to this, the indirect costs of accidents in stevedoring work is approxi-'J mately four times as much as the direct costs, or $56,000,000. 1 From these data accident costs may be expressed in terms of tons and payroll, - as follows: j Total cost per ton, 20c. Total cost per $100 of payroll, $37. \ P art of total cost per ton not covered by insurance, 16c. Part of total cost ; per $100 of payroll not covered by insurance, $29.60. It is fair to compare accident costs with other so-called overhead costs in han-- dling cargo in order that a true picture of its relative importance may be had. Stevedoring operators in the Port of New York provide the following estimates:-; Overhead costs, .068; labor costs, .68; bid price, .90; profit, .13; accidents, .20.

D. T R A N T E R General Superintendent, Middletown Division, T he American Rolling Mill Co<' Middletown, Ohio The speaker said in part: If we seek the solution of the accident problem by; the same methods used for operating control, we will more quickly improve the*,, plant safety record. For example, safety rules must be regarded in the samefi manner as operating rules and practice. Some years ago, safety gates had beat* installed in the rear of open hearth furnaces for the protection of men working ori> tap holes' and runners in a certain plant. The safety appliance was not accepted wholeheartedly by the furnace men until a helper fell off the backstanding and waSi fatally injured. But after this accident, the gates were always in place. Here is another case. A gas maker was seriously injured during the burn-out* of a gas producer. Investigation of the accident disclosed that the man had prevfrj, ously received a number of minor injuries while working on this particular job. Itf further developed that he was unsuited to this type of work because of age and? previous training. If this man's foreman had considered these minor injuries ntj the light of a danger signal and transferred the man to a less hazardous job, thi$r accident would have been prevented. '%, Discipline in accident prevention as well as in operation should be resorted _t p j only when other means fail. Men usually respond willingly to proper inspiration^ and leadership. In case of a violation of safety rules, a word fiom the superin-ft tendent to the person who committed the act goes a long way.

Electric Shock By W. B. KOUWENHOVEN Professor of Electrical Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland The speaker said in p art: The number of accidents due to electricity is appar ently increasing and this is particularly true of those caused by contact with low voltage circuits. Maclachlan, in 1930, and again in 1934, published excellent sum maries of cases of electric shock. His results show that accidents reach their peak in the summer months, and that the current path through the body is usually from the right hand to the feet. In every case of electric shock there are certain factors that influence the result ing injury. These are the type of circuit, its voltage, current and resistance, the points of contact with the circuit and the duration of the shock. In a series of experimental studies carried out at the Johns Hopkins University, in which the author was associated with Dr. O. R. Langworthy of the School of Medicine, and Dr. D. R. Hooker of the School of Hygiene, three types of circuits have been used: namely, continuous or direct current circuits, alternating currents of commercial frequencies, and the discharge of an impulse or surge generator. Con stant voltage circuits were used wherever possible because they are the ones found in both industry and the home. The individual is subjected to less chance of injury in making contact with a 110 volt direct current circuit than with an alternating current one of the same voltage. In fact the speaker has only been able to learn of one authentic case of death on a 120 volt direct current circuit. In this instance a man was working inside of a Scotch marine boiler at a temperature of 112 degrees F. He had with him a defec tive portable light supplied from a 120 volt direct current circuit. In Italy there is on record a case of a man who was electrocuted on a 46 volt alternating current circuit. Experiments using 110-220 volt alternating and direc: current circuits on rats gave similar findings. At higher voltages, 1,000 volts or over, the direct current shocks produce greater injury than the alternating current ones, particularly if the brain or nerve centers he in the path of the current. A comparison of the two commercial frequencies shows The material on this page was copied from the collection of the National Library of Medicine by a third party and may be protected by U S Copyright law f W E T Y - T H I R D A N N U A L S A F E T Y C O N G R E S S NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL workwork- ljuries Quarry Section Officers 1933-34 t General Chairman---O tho M.

Chairman Ihi .li introduced Mr. R. W. Emerson, Vice-President and General Manager, the 1 l>vi-land Railway Co., who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Convention 1 n v The Chairman presented a brief resum of the activities of officers and stand"I' i ommittees of the section during the past year, praising their work. He then "iliidluced the first speaker. Physical Examination in Accident Prevention By HART E. FISH ER , M.D., F.A.C.S. Chief Surgeon, Chicago Rapid Transit Company i The speaker was accompanied by two assistants and a full equipmen* of appa with which he demonstrated his procedure, and spoke in part as follows:) I lie technique of our examination is so arranged that each step follows in se'l'i' nee, so that very little lost motion is had and the course of the examination I'" reds smoothly and quickly. First comes the examination of the eyes as to their 'Miai acuity, both for distant vision and near vision, No one will deny that good unni) is an essential prerequisite to safe work performance, and more imperative good sight in the transportation industry- It is important to detect evidence of 'vi- strain, which undetected may produce headaches, dizziness, fatigue, blurring, wliii li in itself may distract the attention of the employee away from his work "ni produce an accident. Examination is also made of the chambers of the eyes In detect any change through insidious disease that might interfere with the man's vi-inn in the performance of his duties. Also a test is made of the mobility of the vi Imi! to determine if the eyeballs rotate together in all directions and that there 1 ini divergence or convergence of the eyes (cross eyes). The pjipils of the eyes " also tested as to their reaction to light and accommodation and if ihere is an in -ulious disease of the nervous system there it will be revealed. Examination of near vision is important in train service employees, as well as Hi'isr working about moving machinery. Those so afflicted find it difficult to effiI'-nlly and safely perform work close at hand. An employee whose work requires 1I'i-.i- and constant attention will suffer eyestrain unless his eyes are normal or his 111 nr of vision corrected. You must bear in mind the fact that glasses are a hazard In the man working in a shop about machinery due to fogging, blurred if not clean, mid the danger of breaking the glasses from flying objects. Glasses are often lost "i left at home and the employee is handicapped without them. Up to this point you have seen what usually is considered sufficient to approve 'I piTson's eyes as normal for the work he is to perform ; but here is where we rest m ialse security, for the test as described may show normal vision, and other tests in essential if we are to have more than a reasonable doubt as to the perfection of "in's visual apparatus. The two most important tests yet to be made are those for 'I' detection of depth perception which determines the man's ability to properly indi'e distance, speed and space. The other is the determining and graphically plotmi' nf the fields of vision of the employee. This latter test reveals those persons 'dm. on account of narrowed fields of vision, are unable to see approaching objects I'"in the rear or the side and as a result an accident occurs Failure to properly see "h u rts approaching from the rear or side is very often the direct cause of many automobik although We m stereosco] with moi fact, thos unable to i motorola! due to la* eyes dece This is a accidents may be s reduced.
