HEALTH HAZARD ' B a sis o r H ealth Control The essential basis of health control in industry is the phys ical examination. Without knowledge of the physical condition of the individual whose health is to be conserved or bettered, it is difficult, if not futile, to develop the facilities required for his care. It is also true that only by regular medical examinations over a period of years can a reliable opinion be formed regarding the effectiveness of preventive measures used to prevent the oc currence of occupational diseases. Reasons for Occurrence The question may be asked, " Why do occupational diseases occur?" Many causes might be cited, chief among which are two: First, occupational diseases occur because of the employ ment of poor risks, or the failure to select workers physicallj and mentally capable of giving reasonably continuous serv ice. In the selection of workers, consideration also must be given to the possibility of the job aggravating existing diseases and defects. Second, occupational diseases occur because they are actu ally produced by exposing workmen to concentrations of toxic substances beyond the threshold or toxic limit of those sub stances, or by the failure to provide and maintain the neces sary equipment to protect the workers against harmful ex posure. F oundry H azards The health hazards of an industry are determined by a phys ical survey of representative plants of that industry. W ithout go ing into the matter of the methods and standards used in conduct ing a survey of an industry, the results of that survey should evaluate the various health hazards existing. It should indicate the chief .sources of the hazard, the extent and efficiency as well as the faults of equipment intended to protect workers. Wher ever physical examinations are made, it is possible to correlate the physical findings with the data collected from the physical sur vey of the plants. Such studies indicate the foundry industry to have comparatively few health hazards. F irst might be men tioned the presence of dust of a mixed character. It is true that the harmfulness of a dust varies considerably, depending upon its chemical composition, its concentration, in some instances the par-
