Through science and technology man is progressing progressing to increasing speeds in travel and production and increasing dangers dangers never before encountered These in addition to the everyday hazards of life occupied the thoughts of the safety people at the Congress To encourage more widespread knowledge of the various fields of safety the National Safety Council publishes the Current Safety Topics volumes of condensations of Congress speeches and exchanges of ideas Each voli ic is a handy reference to different phases of accident prevention The compl te set of volumes are listed on the back page of each voluine Since the proceedings have been edited and condensed for reference purposes the complete original manuscripts with any charts or illustrations used are available in the National Safety Council files Views expressed at the Congress or in any volume of Current Safety Topics are those of the Congress participants and not necessarily those of the National Safety Council t had fee } National Oe 4 Safety Council OFFICERS Chairman Board of Directors F.

S. Department of Agricul- ture B. GASES AND VAPORS In this major group may be included most of the air contaminants which are not classified as aerosols 1. Irritant gases are those which produce inflammation of tissue such as the skin the eyes and the respiratory tract membranes They are divided into two general groups a action is limited to irration such as hydrogen choride b action extends to systemic effect such as oxides of nitrogen Some of these gases and vapors have pronounced odors but the nose cannot be depended upon as a reliable method of estimating concentrations 2. Asphyxiants are substances which deprive the body tissues of oxygen causing hypoxia oxygen starvation Two general methods of action are known simple asphyxiants such as nitrogen hydrogen helium and methane which dilute or replace the oxygen partial pressure in air and chemical a ants such as carbon mon- oxide hydrogen cyanide hydrogen sulfide acetonitrile aromatic nitro and amino compounds like aniline nitrobemene and derivatives which combine with the hemoglobin of the blood to prevent oxygen dioxide exchange The insidious nature of the action of the simple asphyxiants and the speed with which they can act is still not widely appreciated whereas most people have a healthy respect for the chemical asphyxiants Under proper medical supervision pure nitrogen may be breathed for several seconds and this technique has been used clinically by Himwich and others However nitrogen and the other simple asphyxiants give almost no warning between the time breathing air is replaced with the asphyxiant and unconsciousness overtakes the subject PHYSICAL REACTIONS A loss of mental facilities begins within a few seconds and unconsciousness may occur shortly after with no warning The brain is the first organ of the body to be affected seriously by oxygen want and the subject blacks out quickly Mention is made of this appreciated phenomenon not only because asphyxiants can be released in a room or tank with inadequate warning from the action of a fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system from a large spill of liquid nitrogen from a leaking gas system from an inert producer or from leaking cylinder but also because airlinesupplied respirators hoods and suits are frequently attached to a plant air supply with little appreciation of the hazard For example at the Acids and Heavy Chemicals section meeting Chemical section National Safety Council October 25 1956 no company present reported use of a special air system for respiratory equip- ment If a connection should occur anywhere in the air system which would permit an asphyxiant toxic or flammable gas to enter the air used for breathing the results can easily and rapidly be fatal Oxygen used indiscriminately may also be a hazard since serious fires have been reported where oxygen either from a cylinder or an airline or a leaking hose or pipe was used for breathing purposes in an airline respirator or hood where welding or other flames were involved Only a com- pletely separate air supply supplied by compressor which cannot evolve carbon monoxide carbon dioxide oil mist or other un- wanted impurities or from cylinders of tested known purity should be used for airline respirators hoods or suits In any event regardless of supply the system should include pressure relief valves filters and absorbents as recommended 2. Anaesthetics are gases and vapors whose action is primarily by inducing the Substances producing other effects effects This classification includes several suk~ tonerssuk~toners Include close action diffferorm previously uched substances Included in this group are mercury white phosphorus tetracthyl- drides nickel carbonyl arsine the boron by- drides phosphine hydrogen sulfide and the publicized military nerve gases The initial action of these gases and vapors is ~flprimarily on the nervous system with respiratory arrest following symptoms of anaesthesia when inhaled in sufficient quantities These include the sub- stances which come to mind when the word anaesthetics is mentioned such as the it ethers chloroform methyl chloroform 1,1 f trichloroethane trichloroethylene ethylene oxide and nitrous oxide laughing gas as _ well as hydrocarbons aldehydes ketones other halogenated hydrocarbons the aro$ matic hydrocarbons alcoliols esters and carbon disulfide | r} : DECOMPOSITION OCCURS , CONTAMINANTS COMBINE If the above classifications appear com- plicated it must be remembered that these ait contaminants seldom occur alone and that even less is known about the combined action of two or more substances especially if they are in different groups than of the individual substances Even if particles in the air are toxic in themselves they are known to act as carriers of condensable toxic formaldehyde can have its toxicity increased five times by the presence In addition to the physiological action of of an aerosol : af 1 these materials along and in combination decomposition products are produced in a fire or when they are otherwise subjected to heat Even relatively harmless substances It little wonder then that respiratory protection can become a highly complicated sibject and that the practical application of respirators gas masks and contained such as the Freons and the Genetrons b.eathing apparatus all with their limita- widely used as flammable refrigerants of low toxicity as replacements for am- tions even by persons thoroughly trained in their use is not dried or foot- - monia sulfur and ethane will evolve toxic proof { decomposition products if they are heated above their decomposition temperatures This has occurred where Freons and Genetrons were used as cleaning solvents Relatively untrained persons in an emergency situation are in especially vulnerable positions Many of the case histories attached to this paper clearly point to the Metal parts after cleaning were heated need for more widespread appreciation of i. above the safe limits in order to dry and the nature of the hazard as well as of the flash off the remaining solvent Several limits of the various respiratory protective persons were hospitalized with pulmonary equipment used congestion Trichloroethylene degreasers properly installed maintained and operated RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE DEVICES are safe yet the failure or misuse of these vapor degreasers has created serious haz- ards including both fires and toxicity ' Mass hysteria and unconsciousness due to the appreciated anaesthetic action of the trichloroethylene has occurred in sec- onds; in one incident 72 persons were over- come and in another 26.

PURIFYING RESPIRATORS The fundamental limitations of any air purifying device are that the air must be within the limits for which the respirator was designed for example the oxygen content must be more than 16 per cent ; the particular unit will only protect against the specific substance or combinations for recovered after removal to fresh air and oxygen inhalation The hazards of carbon tetrachloride mixtures in fire fighting and in other applications are well documented which it was designed for example aerosol lispersoid filter_type filter_type respirators will give no protection against gases and vapos ;

conditions becante a focal point for activity Upon being partially or totally successful the demands of labor turned to the called fringe items Recently the fight to stay ahead of the rising living has demanded the attention of the worker and his trade union mumity and State sponsored safety programs Each International Unicef would establish department headed by a competent director to assist in promoting safety within its local unions International Unions with training departments or educational depart- ments should add to their curriculum a course to prepare the plant union safety | committeeman to do his job We have passed over rather hurriedly the general bargaining history of the labor movement since its rebirth in the early 30's and of course a number of items which have been important have not been mentioned During this time most unions had little time or energy to devote to protecting the safety of the members In all fairness however there have been some outstanding jobs done by the unions in some industries and in some segments of industry The best job by the unions has been done as far as safely was concerned in those industries deplorable with safety records This was accomplished principally because safety was foremost in the mind of the worker He saw his fellow worker injured and killed and as far as he was concerned protection of life and limb took precedence over other demands UNIONS WROTE SAFETY CODES A number of unions have devoted a great deal of time and effort in formulating and promoting safety codes to reduce fatalities and time injuries Safety codes are extremely important and worthwhile however without proper policing the expedient employer and employce can enjoy a field day Each effort put forth by the union regardless of size is important in the overall effect of preventing injuries to the wage- earner Each International Union has an obligation to make known to its affiliated local union that the union has an obligation to represent its membership in the field of safety whenever it can effectively do so The International Union has a responsibility of encouraging local unions to affiliate with the National Safety Council to promote a united front for labor in the field of safety irrespective of International affiliation International Unions should encourage local uni o participate in plant com- USE PUBLICATION MEDIA Publications such as newspapers journals magazines and bulletins can most effectively * be used in promoting safety in the mind of the membership Usually these organs find their way into the home of the member where not only he but others can read them The International Unions should enthuse their local unions with a desire to promote adequate industrial compensation compensation compensation laws 50 that the injured member will receive ade- quate care and compensation Many employers had little time for accident prevention as long as the community and charitable organizations organizations took care of his injured and maimed worker and the dependents of his fatalities When compensation laws were enacted and the employers had to assume an additional cost burden the employer usually became inter- ested in his accident frequency It is true there have been and there are employers who have been genuinely interested in the safety and the welfare of their employees However it is regrettable that in the past there have not been more because there would be fewer people working at a reduced income because of an injury and there would be fewer widows working to support their families because of a fatality EMPLOYERS ATTITUDES CHANGED Generally speaking the attitude of employers regarding safety has been changed This change has come slowly in some in- stances and rather fast in others Some employers have the attitude that safety is the problem of management and the carrying out of safety programs is a sole func- tion of management Others have taken a realistic approach and have felt that a program of accident prevention within a plant must have the support of both tabor and management and have created joint labor and management safety progra giving labor the opportunity to assist in : determining what 3101 effective prograng should contain 4 Some of the top management people in the Pulp and Paper Industry of the West Coast have in recent years stated that the most valuable asset this industry has is the people who work in it Another industrialist stated that safety was on the same level of 000332 Labar production 1985 1985 production They They

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH CONTROL THROUGH ENGINEERING by FLOYD A. VAN ATTA industrial hygienist United Auto Workers Detroit Mich The engineering part of the occupational health prograin is concerned with the control of those aspects of the work environ- ment which may have an adverse effect upont the health of the workers in the area The most obvious conditions are those concerned with the temperature Inumidity lighting and ventilation of the place of work One tends to think of these items as concerned with comfort rather than with health but it should be quite obvious that if the temperature is excessively high or excessively low it can be rapidly fatal and this is indubitably an effect on health although not a chronic one Somewhere between the normal room temperature and humidity at which we are comfortable and efficient and the tempera- ture and humidity at which we die rather abruptly there is a limiting value at which men can work probably not in comfort birt without permanent harm It is part of the business of the industrial hygienist to deter- mine this point and to arrange the working conditions so that the limit is not exceeded Sometimes the control of heat and has midity problems is through ventilation and is always the first idea when man is working on a hot job to turn a fan him It always helps some but on most hot jobs it is only a part and often only a small part of the total control which is needed To control properly the man's thermal en- viroment viroment it is necessary to consider and often to control both the humidity and the temperature of the air which and the somees of within sight of his working INDUSTRIAL POISONINGS The major interest of the industrial hy- giynist in ventilation comes in the contral industrial poisonings There are a few ocafses in which industrial diseases are con- tracted as the result of swallowing some material -- -- as the result of contact of some materials with the intact skin But they most commonly arise from the inhalati nof dusts vapors mists gases or some offier form of material in the air The reason for this is clear after a moment's thought ^ Such materials as the phenolic compounds carbolic acid cresols resorcinols and so forth and the aromatic amines aniline fuidings and so on are easily and rapidly allsorbed through the skin but the undamaged skin is designed to protect the body from at...ack and is a complete barrier against the vast majority of materials Because people do not make it a custom to vat the things which they handle in industry industrial diseases caused by ingestion are also incommon They can and do ocem people do cat occasionally with their fanels contaminated with toxic materials and eat much as is require produce industrial ) 37. National Safety Congress case recall one plant where the cmyees of a treating department had covered that they could have nicely asted sandwiches by floating them on a ece of steel on the lead pot This is one the better methods for developing chronic ad poisoning by ingestion of lead Since this sort of thing is rather unusual e major problems in the engineering conof of occupational disease have to do with eventing various kinds of dusts vapors ises or mists from getting into the air in place where men can breath them There a variety of methods available SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS It is sometimes possible to substitute a << toxic material for the one which is cing used and avoid the problem A rather ommon example would be the substitution ( a water emulsion paint for a lacquer cule up with solvents This solves the roblem of control of solvent vapors with a further effort It does not necessarily olve the whole control problem since the gment may also be toxic Occasionally it may be possible to avoid he hazard by putting it somewhere where people do not go in the normal course of work It should not be overlooked that iso- inted operations almost always require supervision and maintenance maintenance and the people who do this work must be protected An isolated operation which is a serious source of air contamination is very apt to become a neighborhood nuisance device device A more generally applicable device is the enclosure of the process st readily seen in the chemical industry where many processes are carried out in a com- pletely closed system from the raw material tanks at one end of the packaged product at the other When thoroughly carried out enclosure of the process unquestionably pro- vides the most complete and most proof protection for the workmen The type of contral which is most common is removal of the contaminant either from the general atmosphere by ventilation or at the source by local exhaust ventilation or by other means such as wet operation which will prevent contamination from being dispersed into the atmosphere The industrial hygienist will generally consider protective equipment to be pretty far down the line as a primary method for controlling a hazard It is useful as a primmeans when the hazard is of short ary duration or occurs infrequently The main use of personal protective equipment is as a second line of defense after the hazard is pretty well controlled by engineering micans The main problem in a great many instances is to recognize the exact nature and extent of the hazard When this has been done the appropriate means of control are apt to be fairly obvious The fact that the particular condition has never been controlled by a particular procedure which looks correct is not an adequate reason for deciding that it never can be SAFETY MORAL RESPONSIBILITY by DR CAMERON P.

instead they add accumulatively 3. radiation can read into the human reproductive system and Fience blight later generations While these dangers are near the surface in the use of active materials they can be kept under control by vigilence Certainly safeguards against these risks should have top priority in safetsayfety program program When a stranger stranger say from the relatively developed countries in Asia and Africa or from behind the fron Curtain should ask of us In your impressive rush toward mounting economie prosperity and now into " ) ) ) 1957 National Safety Congress , This is sheer gain but these laws still focus on doing something for the man who has met with an accident rather than on driving full steam into eliminating causes for necidents When ship is sinking then the whole weight of responsibility rests on manning the life boats and getting the pas- and crew off the vessel When an sengers auto has gone hurtling off a thruway then weiweigght htmoral resprespoonsibilnity sibility is to rush . medical care responsibility But neither life boats nor ambulances are that the full measure of moral rests upon us today when ships still sail Otuhre high seas and cars ride the highways moral sense has grown up beyond that level of moral satisfaction In its modern con- ) preventing moral responsibility stresses preventing cept the oceans and the worst from happening on with ou our roads rather than being content picking up the pieces after the worst has happened devo Total security is a goal that is beyond our reachreach but great progress can be made wha men of competence and good will and tion join together to help each other every way possible to promote safety sures against acident accident hazards TheNational of this step is I suppose Safety Congress itself It stands for moral responsibility toward these hazards at best for our deepest responsibility towar the victim of accidents is to see to it tha all is done to keep him from becoming victim And that is a worthy cause for labor of us wherever we are in education management iin n education and in goven ment management ample that the objective of industrial safety should be the preservation of human life and the protection of human health We would further agree that an employer las a moral responsibility responsibility to protect his workers against disease accidents mental stress and infections from the conditions of employ- A We all profess to agree that luman life } not cheap that man is not something to be sacrificed to a machine And yet these ethical principles are not always applied in day to day life nor are they enforcing practical application they come into con- flict flict with individual economic interests and must be enforced either through group or by society as a whole through politcal action As a rule society does not move as fast the need would indicate We all know for example that the first industrial revolu- tion had run its course for more than 100 a LABOR'S STAKE IN SAFETY years before society got around to adopting and enforcing rules and regulations of in- 4 dustrial safety For more than 100 years industrial j workers were given no legal pro- tection against the risks and hazards of in- dustrial employment by A.

and safer places to work But of all the legislations aimed at this objective workmen's compen sation was the key For until employers were made directly and financially responsible for the results of workers accidents they had no economic reason for prevent accidents The whole pattern and fabric of our industrial safety program throughout the nation rests entirely on how good and how effective our workmen's compensation and our occupational disease laws are ECONOMIC REASONS Oh of course you can point to many other good economic rationalizations for industrial safety You can say industrial accidents add all kinds of direct and indirect costs to production You point to the cost of hiring and training a new employee of equipment damaged in a work accident accident of the time lost by other employees when accident occurs et But I will throw them " 7 you and sa thit it ' present long before before w Sloe dent programs that it W. toe cident prevention was reinforced with workinen's compensation and occupational disease legislation that employers really became safety conscious So it seems that the thing that counts here is how good our workmen's compensa- goccupational tion and really are | discase legislation And that's a good question I've spent my whole adult life in the labor movement As a matter of fact was projected into it by the very thing we are talking about here today industrial accident I went to work at 17 years of age because my father was totally disabled by a work in- jury injury that eventually killed him In the course of many years of studying and dealing with the problems of my union -which are of course the problems of the members of my union I realized that our present system of workmen's compensation compensation and occupational ocupational disease legislation legislation is com- pletely and wholly inadequate to meet the needs of our complex industrial society am not alone in that conclusion There are in fact many men in the labor move- ment today who feel even mess strongly ) 1957 National Safety Congress reseech project does tend to show a.com- relation between employment and discase die aut findhit o is ar lmos st

deplorable lack of informa tion about occupational disease We are years behind other countries in this respect One expert in this field said that research in pneumoconiosis in this country is 25 years behind that of Great Britain SECRETS PREVAIL IN INDUSTRY Industry actively opposes objective .re- on and free search interchange of information socupational diseases because it is more afraid of the passibility of paying compensa- compensa- tion benefits than it is that workers will die from lack of proper information and ade- It should not surprise us that doctors can he mobjective in these cases where their testimony is bought and paid for We have only to look at the spread difference of opinion among doctors as to the effect of cigarette smoking to see that their testimony can sometimes be something less than truth- ful Most doctors who are not in the pay of cigarette companies are convinced by all the scientific evidence on record that cigar- ettes undoubtedly contribute to lung cancer But the doctors on the payrolls of the to- bacco companies either deny that cigarelles contribute to lung cancer or at best main- tain that there is not yet enough proof Here are specific examples that will illusstrate this point There is some medical evidence that the chemicals used in the dye industry and in the manufacture of synthetic rubber cause or contribute to cancer of the bladder In fact one of amine so dangerous that it has been outlawed for all industrial uses in Britain since 1951 But efforts to prove publicize and restrict the dangers of this deadly acid have hit stubborn resistance in this country The large chemical companies have refused to find out if amine does contribute to cancer of the bladder and have strongly resisted in- dependent research into this problem As we contemplate these conflicting views among professional men as we thoughtfully study the reluctance of industry to be honest about this matter of occupational disease cannot help but wonder whether the lust for profits has made many men forget the real purpose of life What is the real purpose of life Is it production and profit the being of the individual If there is conflict between the two do we sacrifice production and profit or the wellbeing of the individual The ethical answer is obvious But the practical methods of reaching the logical ethical conclusion are more difficult Much the same situation holds true in the asbestos industry There appears to be de- cided effects on workers who produce asbestos in that there is a marked correla tion between asbastos employment and lung cancer Here again the industry has been traditionally reluctant to cooperate in a full scale scientific study of this curious correla- tion This reluctance to do research in health hazards recure in industry after in- dustry DOCTORS OFTEN BIASED But even worse when workers do succumb to cancer of the bladder or the lung or to some other equally horrible diseases we are treated to the spectacle of company doctors who testify that the disease couldn't possibly have been caused by their employment Doc- lors are supl to be above reproach in our society is a labor official I have known of too cases in which company FEDERAL ACTS NEEDED We could make a start by enacting com- preliensive federal workmen's compensation and occupational disease legislation to take the place of the chaos that results from having 48 different state systems But I have no hopes for such a constructive approach in the foreseeable future I am afraid the insurance lobby and the employer groups that profit from weak administration are too strong for us at this time So we'll just have to make that one of our long range objectives But there are some things we can do right now We can try to have programs set up in the National Institute of Health and in the Public Health Service which would recognize the importance of occupational disease which would put the re- search effort in this

Before the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best of Toronto there were a good many diabetic quacks Their principal prod- ucts were diuretics Their claims were broad their performance woefully inade- quate Today however it is in the field of cancer that the particular interest of both the public and the medical profession lies In a period of 10 months we counted in a little more than 4,000 inquiries more than 1,000 on the subject of cancer cures and treatments The example that we have here particularly the Hoxsey cancer treatment and examples of the methods of promotion make it evident that over the years the quack has learned by experience that he is ever so much more effective when he hides behind religion and when he sells the public on the claim that he is a martyr to medical persecution FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HELPS The federal government in the agency of the Food and Drug Administration has sought for several years to stop not only Mr. Hoxsey but others one of whom is particularly known in Vancouver namely Dr. William F.
