These people pthcred 10 exchange the latest ideas in safe attitudes, safe methods and safe equi,.menl. Throuah tpeeches, panel discussions and symposiums, they acquired new ideas for helping others-and themselves-to live, work, aud play safely.

These, in addition to the everyday hazuds of lire, occurictl 11tc thoughts of the safety people at the Congress. To encourage more widespread knowledge of the various fields of safcl)', the National Safety Council publishes the Current Safety Topics-JO volumri of condensations of Conarcss speeches and exchanges of ideas. Each voh, 1c o: is a handy reference to different phases of accident prevention. The co1111,I 1c set of volumes are listed on the back page each volume.

EXTEND lFFORTS OFF-JOI The fruit, of plant safety discipline should be shown in the off-the-job 1tclivitie1 of tl,e employee. If we have really sold him on lhe rules of conduct not only for machinery operation. but all phases of personal pfety, thm the employee will practice these rulu not only in his own home, but also in drivin1 his car or while using recreational f:acilities. This does not answer the question of how many days' suspension an employee should rtt1!ive for an infraction of safety rules. I have purposely refrained from attempting to answer that question because in my opinion that is not a safety problc,m. The punishmmt for the infraction of rules is ncl11:1lly the responsibility of. in conjunction with the Labor Department. Where there are many Inf rules, it is probably due to the fact top echelon of the orpnlzatloa an whole-hc,artedly in asreanenl with . _ thal lhe supervisor In Immediate c:harp used the rules as a mailer of coa rather than as a matter of prottc the employee. { Good safety discipline cannot be by the number of people suspended f lation of safety rules but rather measured by the spirit, the push, sincuity with which top manasanmt ates the safety program. Safety is the direct result of sound. r logical rules of conduct as reai-llll!!li by the safety department, and enfo all levels of mana1ernent. Safety discipline: depends on the a and the manner in which the: Ill carries out his day to day asslpmmll contact.I with the employee.

This is rt11uired for practical, structural rea1on1, .but we attempt to avoid it by using othu types of closures in all but 1111:111, mcdium-prcaaure vessels. With this one exception, a minimum of 10 per call donption should be specified for materials used in the construction of hiah pressure equipment. Whm purchasing metal stoclc for this use it is wise to specify metal that is f rec of flaws or inclusions, and is w:atranltd by x-ray or other suitable tests. Before a vessel is placed in service it mu11t be pressure tested, preferably lo one and one-half times its maximum working pressure. A log sheet should thereafter be kept for each vessel so that a history of ill service is available. Frequent inspection of each vessel and regular periodic pressure tests are required to avoid failure resulting from corrosion, small stress cracks, embrittlen ~nt, etc. CONED CONNECTION The common coned high pressure connec- tion has frequently been a source of diffi- culty, most of which is easily avoidable with a liule care and attention. The scaling surface is on the tapcrtd c:nd of the tubing, and the force is applied from the threaded 1land via the collar on the tubing. First, the aeatins surlaccs and threads should alwa)s be 11111-th, dean, and in good order. II not, they should be remachincd or replaced as may be tl,e case. A common error in assembly of one of these COIIIICdion1 i1 in not 11lacing the collar the proJ)er di1tance back on the tubing. I ( it is too far back a good seal can be made but all of the force is taken by only a portion of the threads of the gland, resulting in failure under pressure. Hi1h pressure gauges rresent some prob- lems, but a little thought when localing them will easily rrmrdy this. Always use the solid front or "blow-out" back type of hia;h pressure gaui;e and remove the glass face cover.

FACEPIECE TYPES Normally, respirators use a "haU-mask" J facepiece, covering the nose and mouth, : while gas masks use both full-masks and full faccpicccs. (Only full facepieces on; 11as masks nre a11proved by the Bureau of Mines). Recently, the "sell-rescue" or: "1>0ckct" rcs11iralor, normaNy usaf with 1 ,. cartridge containing Hopcalite with a dryer and designed for escape horn mines, hu ::- been extended into other cartridges. The mouthpiece of this style respirator is held tightly by the front teeth of the wearer, and the breathing is accomplished throu1h the mouth. A nose clamp blocks off the oprnings of the nostrils, and prevents irritation of the membranes of the nose. A neckband 1ermits the respirator to be worn rr,,tly for insl:ml use. Twelve different filter cartridges will fit the basic holder and ; mouthpiece.

For many appliations, air-supplied equipment has real advantages, but this equipment is subject to definite limitations. The simplest type is the Burc:ou ol Mines Type D hose mask, which is a lacepicce lo which l is attached a hose without a blower which must extend to a respirable source of air. This mask depends on the breathing action of the "'carer lo move the air.

Moinlrnoncr. Training 0110 Alrdicol Pr,caulion1 In discussin1 respiratory protection, we have shown the importance o( breathing "good" air. briefly reviewed the major air contaminants, and discussed briefly nppnratus available. We have stressed lhc limitations of each typr. rathn than the advantages, since we believe that limit:itions were not as widely appreciated as advantages. The ideal breathing a111:,ratus has yet lo be developed. We have tried to crcale the imprcnion that a thoroni:h knowlc,li:c o! the particular apf'3ratus used is csscnti:11 lur 1ls sa(c. us.c under var&ou~ cont1ilions.

Washing tlae facepiccc with an antiseptic solution or so:1p, rinsing in clear water, and drying will assure that sanitation and clunlincss is not neglected. This also prolongs the usclul life o( the laccpieccs. Proper stor:11te conditions and ( requent checking for deterioration arc as important with rcspiratory protective equipment as with fire extinguishers, parachul~ and life-lines. lRAINING DEFICIENT Training is the third, and perhaps most important lc1 of the triangle of respiratory safety. There is serious deficiency in thia phnse of the respiratory program. Pullins on a device for a (cw minutes once a year is not adequate training. The U. S. Bureau o( Mines Health and Safety Activities, through its district and sub-district offices, conducts training courses in first-aid, and nl~o in the use of various emergency brulhing a1aratus. The course can be modified lo meet special needs on request. Addresses of offices which offer these courses may be obtained by contacting the Health and Safety Division of the Durc.,u of Mine~. 4800 Forbes St., Pittsburgh 13, Pa.

The succl'ss of the plan is dnc to strict adherence lo the hasic princia,lu. day during the month, it is uot necessary to wait until a new period before another no-accident record can start. 1 The objectives were set so that once the :!, lirst ,vas reached, the 1roup continued lo ! . amass consecutive shifts since the last lost ..; time accident. When the second or third -1 1objectives are rcarhcd, awards o( crc:iler '. .nlue are distributed. To be more spccilic. croups or plant divisions are awarded safety incentives after 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000 shifts without a lost time accident.

INCENTIVE PLAN Six yr.us ago the safely department of Asbestos Corporation Limited examined scvrral plans lo improve the safety record o( the company. If accident prevention could he conslantly before the worker, the accident rrC')ntnCJ aod severity would decrease. This would lower the compensation rate, since this company operates on a merit rating basis within the rate structure set by the Quebec Worlm1en's Compensation Commission for the Quebec Asbestos l\lining Asrocialion. lldore pro1t0siug any safel)' incenlivt 11la11, it is adviS:tble lo review the past experience of the company and of other orgauizations in the same industry. This review or survey will guide i11 selling objec- lins for safely awards. It would indeed be unrealistic lo base objectives 011 n yearly frequency o( fin lost time accidents per million man hours of c:<posurc when your best previous hc- 111ency has been 20 and that of the industry 12. In other words examine your records and set your objectin~ so they may br reached by extra cllort in the lield o( a,ci1lc111 rrevcntiou. Do not expect miracles 11ined. Everyone is {~ iliar with the ther- 111011,ctcr chart u~cd hl iarilable campaiRn and war bond drives. For the safety incen- tive pl:,n al Asbestos bulletin boards at the in \Corporation Umited, plant entrances or the punch clock rooms, showed the nwnber o( consecutive man-shills worked since the last lost lime accident for each croup opcnat- ing lls a unit. These boards arc kept up--to- dale daily by the timekeeping dq,arlalent I the plant. MANY AWARD WINNERS The awards or incentives should be distributed to as many employees as pos5ible. The breakdown of each pl:lnt for the S.'\frly i11ccnlive rbn lollmYccl 1:,c m.,in working divisions: i.e., mine, mill, slio11s or maintenance, and general or ~rd labor. E..ch group is a unit whid, operates independently in the plan. I( a lost time acridtnt occurs in the mill, it docs nol allccl t~e records of other 1roups_ , The groups arc not equal in site but by sdting the objectives on. the basis o( consl;cutive 111:1n-shifls worked since the l:.sl l!\~t time accident, the exposure to injury i~ equal for :,II groups. l The objectives are the same for :,II 1:fours. There were several ohjec1io115 In .', A safety inccntive plan wa~ proposed lo man;agemrnt ha~c<l or, ,i.~ following prin- ciiilu: I. The goal lor safety awards should be rc.alislic and possilole to attain by ~- 1ro11p which would pay rarlicular ion lo accident rrevenlion. and do not sci the objectives so high tht employees will led they cannot attain thew ohjcclivcs.

The distribution of use Iul ilcms has !Ken quite popular among our rmrloytfi. 11,c safety incffltivc plan must be understood by all employees. This basic principle applies lo .any incentive plan initiated and opcratNI by a business organiza1ion.

To raritubtc briefly the safety inccnlivc pl;,n o( As!Kslos Corporation Limited; Each operating plant is subdivided into four sections which operale iruk.,endcnlly in establishing safety records of consecutive m:tll 1hihs worhd without a lost time accident. When one of the following objectives is rc:achcd, 10,000, 25,000, or 50,000 and so on in 25,000-sltift incrcmenls, a.ch employee i, cntitlNI to a safrty award if he has worked :ti lt:1st 75 1cr cent of the time in that section during the period thc record or objective was !King established. I[ a lost time :accident occun in a section, the cumulated man-shi[ ts drop lo zero and a fresh start is made. SELECTING AWARDS FOR SAFElY The s,.lection of suitable awards is important.

Table I is a breakdown of our accident u:pcriencc from 1947 through 1956. This period was chosen !Kcause it illustrates a l'tfiod of five years. 1947 through 1951, ,nor lo the introduction of the safety in- ctnlivc plan and a live year period, 1952-56, that the plan has !Ken in operation. ' Tables II and Ill are a compilation :mil avera1e of these two five-year periods. Thc1e records Indicate an Improvement since the inception of the safety Incentive ,ian. When the compensation cost plus the -' iiccntive cost for the 19S2-56 period is com ,arcd lo the compensation cost alone for the I 1947-51 period, we find a yearly average .i saving of over $30,000, and this in a period 1 when the compensation benefits as well as . die w:tgc5 were incrc:1$ing.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS Secondly, 1937 was the year of legal awareness ol occupational disease. For tht first time industry and the business firms concerned with \'vorkmen's Com(lCnsatioa were forced to take cognizance of liability lor certain occupational diseases. The big bad monster was silicosis. How well l remember the fur and consternation ! in Industry and Casually Insurance Car ricrs of Workmen's Compensation when kg islation enforced these rcsl'onsibilities. So little was known about the disease at that time. Tl,e widespread industrial exposure to lrce silica was fantastic. Some people predickd total bankruptcy for industry and the nllied insurnnce people. Time and reason have taken the place of (car. Silicosis is known, 1,i,1 completely con- troll:ible in our modern indu,il y b:, b<ncr housekeeping, impro\'ed handling techniques, subslitntion o( safer, yet suitable materials and where necessary, the use o( personal protective equipment. Management l1as been compelled to change its :attitude or be pc- ) ucu~:,H . lized by legal action. D ditions as contrasted to allowable conditions have aspects which pay off in the directly and indirectly. Now occupational disease must embrace many things : the pneumoconioses, the der1mato11e1 and tJ,e many toxic exposures. The _jhaurd o( uncontrolled exposure of lead tf_11111es, benzol, carbon tetrachloride, beryl- .\lium. cadmium, trichlorethylene. insecticides, :and now more recently rndioactive m."\terial1 r.!.1ve opened a new lield for exploration. INDUSTRY FOLLOWED LEGISLATION ~ ?!Ith tl,e comins of O.D. act,, people r.ahzed the nttd for promoting occup:a- ,:..lonat health programs In industry. The i existing units in city, county and stale hralth deparbnents were ex(landed-new delltrlments were established where none ex- wed before. Large industry found it eco- llHlllc to seek their lielp. Where the prob lens were great and lhe demand exceeded tie existing facilities, some of lhe more fcresighted industries developed their own programs. Large cMualty i11surance carriers res110nsi'1e for the smaller industries pursued the rourse of enlightened preventive medicine beyond the field of simple mechanical princitles of safety. Other allied groups, dedi- cated to saving life and limb created or ex- JlQl!dcd such programs, notably, the National Safety Council, the American Medical A.sociation and the Industrial Hygiene Fouadation. P:!:-employrncnt physical ',exami112lions, including chest x-rays, were,desinble in most industries and a must in othera. Selective placement became a reality to employ certain people without liability riskt to em11loyers. Occupational health was in0ucnccd by the cllects o( World War II. Even before the United States became an active participant, industry moved into high gear productionwise. The resultant attendant hazards were apparent and often resulted from constant demands for incr.,;ising quality, as well as uantity. With :iclive war declared, governmental agencies were concerned both dirtctly and indirectly in aII plants h:u,Jling . nr or defense contracts. Their concern was not limiled to sabotage air but included development of new product~':::;t:::~~l::':n:~:::;,ip~:;,:~:: large quantitic, of ,,igh quality prodncts both old and (ft~d as ex(ICditiousty ru- possible with d11e regard lo health and salcly of the people nroducing. With the wartime economy, prog~ms previously considered too expensive sudJcnly began. The cost plus war contracts 11allowed the introduction of tl1ings long wanted aml considered worth- while. In tl,elieahh field particularly these prom:rams wcrcil favored. . I WAR EXPANDED INDUSTRY SAFETY o.b. With tl,e acts imd World War II, occu1,atlonal health came of :,ge and gnth- ered momc:nlmn. The unprecc<lentc,I post w:>r ttrospcrity has been a potent factor. The creation of new groups and expansion ol old groups represented physicians, nurse~. hygienists. dentists and physicians. A board or occupational he:allh a~ a sub~(lCCi:ilty of preventive medicine with public health aml aviation medicine has come into being. Sl'c- cial training al poslgr:uluate level is 110w available in a 11mnbcr of medical scl1<ols for special degrees certifying training nnd pro- ficiency in lhis licld.

In the field of occupational health, salety and health are inseparable. Industry has leamcd that it is economic to give formal attention' to matters pertaining to health and 'safety. l:arge industries rrovide their own, small industries buy from or though insurance carriers or groups providing medical, dental, nuraing, h)giene, engincerin,t or other appllcable 1trvires. More profu~ional people an' devoting part or all their time to problems relat"d to occul'ation:il health than ever before. Permanent impairment, time lost from work and the, mortality and morbidity ol occupational o~igin is at an all time low per unit l'roduced.'fOur old prohlrms arc largely conlrollcd, anJlncw problems a111icipaled and minimized. Th!ose escaping tcml'Orarily arc soon idcntifief, classified and dealt with. More and mo 1t the expert is called during the planning sl~ge.

CONTROL ENVIRONMENT FOR HEAllH Environmental controls by the engineering :and occupcation:al hygiene approach in the better org:aniud plants give :ttlcntion to minute det.:ails. Nol only h:u:uds, but nui s:ance problems receive attention. Dusi, gas, smoke. fumes :and vaJlOrs which may be a community, as well as :a plant problem, arc ,cm. The vtry presence nl these thin11s in some m:anuf:acluring processes m:iy indic:ile :an inefficient or uneconomic operation, and correction would serve a tnultiple benefit. Also, under this general program are food available to workers, its preparation, han- dling and disposition in a safe, clean, appetizing manner, a place to cal, and garbage :and sewage disJlOsal in a sale and :acceptable fashion. Water pollution is ohcn a greater prob 1cm than air pollution.
