You Imy protection and human health -- not a respiratory device. I Respiratory protection was not jlist in vented.

Ask about various devices -- there is more background information than you might expect, and it is available if you insist on completeness. In June 1969, students at a major univer sity appeared iu an academic procession wearing World War 11 surplus gas masks. This is a very serious matter; such masks arc being sold in surplus stores all over the country, and they arc essentially worthless. The same mistake occurred after World War I -- thousands were sold or given away, ami loss of life resulted from their misuse. If you come across such old equipment, destroy it at once before it kills. Xot all mask face pieces lit everyone properly. This is poorly appreciated, since we have a tendency to accept something offered .without question. About 95 per cent of the adult population can he accommodated by the average full face piece if properly worn and adjusted. The various sizes and shapes of faces are well known; the Army and the lltircau of Mines are well aware of the problem of human variations, hut most people who buy and wear masks are not. Another confusing situation develops when the medical ami nursing professions use the word "respirator" to indicate a device for inducing or modifying breathing. Two of these were recently condemned as unsafe by the Food and Drug Administration ami ordered removed or recalled from the mar ket. (Devices were manual bellows or bagtype blowers for introducing air into patients through a half-mask piece.)

' Nuclear gauges using radioactive isotopes were introduced in the early 1950`s. These instruments are designed to provide con tinuous on-line information regarding pro cess material thickness, composition, level, or density. Prior to 1962, the industrial usage of such gauges was controlled by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. During 1962, a program was initiated to transfer tills con trol to the individual states. At the present time 19 states have assumed this responsibi lity and are known as Agreement States. Licensing by one of these agencies is a pre requisite to the possession of a nuclear gauge. the Titanium Pigment Division _Sional Lead Company instituted a evaluate the process control capa^tie&iof nuclear level and density gauges.

This problem is not uncommon and results primarily because of fears that this new system will detract from the effectiveness of existing systems.

Uthough the best procedures to prevent htion of harmful air contaminants are f elimination of the roiilaiiiiiiants at their s of generation or the reduction of the ninant concentration to levels stillitly low not to cause bodily harm, there situations where, for one reason or ter, these procedures are inapplicable, tactical, impossible, or not adequately effective. In such situations, respirators arc utilizes! to protect personnel. I'rinr to using respirators, a study must Ik~ 111:11 le of the contaminated alinosphcie to determine the nature of the hazard. The effective use of respirators requires the establishment and o|>cration of a planned respiratory protection program. The pro gram should include the following essential I 70 J9o9 Rational Safety Cmi>iiess pints: selection; training; use; supervision; maintenance; storage and issue; medical snrvcillaucc; and evaluation. This paper will cover the use of respirators only. After the proper respirator has hecu selected and the wearer has been trained to use it properly, it is essential that the wearer he given an explanation of the charac ter and magnitude of the hazard, the ptinciplrs of operation of the respirator, the probable lime that the respirator will offer protection, how to recognize faulty functioning of the respirator, and instruc tions of what to do under emergency condi tions resulting from his work or by acci dental injury to his respirator. It should he remembered that the normal oxygen content of atmospheric air at sen level pressure is 20.9 per cent by volume. The symptoms of anoxia begin to appear in humans in atmospheric air nt sea level pressure when the oxygen content drops to 16 per cent by volume. Thus, an oxygen deficiency for humans in atmospheric air at sea level pressure exists when the cjxygcn content is less than 16 per cent by volume. The adverse effects of an oxygen deficiency increase with decreasing atmospheric pres sure or increasing altitude. Whenever possible, respirators tested and approved by the U S. Ilurcau of Mines or respirators tested and listed as acceptable by the U S. Department of Agriculture should be used. Sometimes, a respirator user must employ a respirator that has not been approvnl or listed as acceptable liccausc either the type of respirator he must use is not covered by a test schedule or the hazard for which the respirator is to provide pro tection against is not covered by a test schedule. When this occurs, the respirator user must assure himself that the respirator manufacturer or another reliable organiza tion has tested the respirator for the in tended application and that the respirator manufacturer maintains a high standard of quality control during production. ril/iwj of Respirator Pacepiecc Pitting of a respirator facepiece is essen tial.

The size, shape, and the fibrous media employed in the filter generally depend upon the type or types of airborne particulate which the filter must protect against. Usually, the filters arc replaceable, but in some cases are a permanent part of the respirator. Most filters arc designed to be used once and then discarded, while a few filters arc de signed so that they can lie cleansed and reused. Rcuscablc filters may be cleaned by brushing or blasting with a jet of com pressed air, but never by washing in an aqueous solution or organic solvent. Ex treme care must be taken in selecting the proper type of filler for the intended opera tion. The respirator filter has a useful service life that depends upon its shape, size, fibrous material, type of airborne particle, particle size, particle concentration, and the activity of the respirator user. The breathing resist ance offered by the filter will increase pro gressively during use as its fibrous material becomes plugged with retained particulate, and eventually breathing becomes dilficult. When this occurs, the respirator wearer should leave the contaminated area and re place the plugged filter with a new filter or clean a rcuscablc filter. Small size particles plug a filter to a greater degree than large size particles. The resistance to breathing offered by a filter generally will increase at a rapid rate if used in a moist atmosphere. The lack of an inhalation valve system in a respirator or damage of a respirator's inhalation valve system may cause conden sation of moisture present ill the exhaled air on the respirator filter and thereby in crease the breathing resistance of the filter. Usually, the respirator filter becomes more efficient for retention of particles during its use as the quantity of retained particulate increases. However, this may not always be true. The filtering efficiency of some types of filter materials may be adversely afTcctcd by liquid particles.

Respirators with either independently re placeable filters for particulates and chemi cal cartridges for vapors and gases or chemical cartridges with built-in fillers arc available. Some people prefer the respira tors with independently replaceable filters and cartridges because they find it more economical to replace filters and cartridges separately, depending upon which needs replacement. Others use the respirators em ploying cartridges with built-in fillers, liecause they feel that these units reduce the chance for leakage of particulate around the filter due to a poor connection between filler and cartridge.

The U S. bureau of Mines rcipiircs that gas masks for protec tion against carbon monoxide gas, including the Type N gas mask but excluding a self rescue gas mask for emergency escape use, contain an indicator that tells when the canister ingredient that protects against carbon monoxide gas is exhausted. Indicators are in the form of a window panel in the side of the canister containing granular substance that changes color when the can ister ingredient for carbon monoxide is exhausted, or in the form of a mechanical timer which has an indicating dial or which activates an audible or physical alarm. The window panel type indicator also is available for a few types of canisters for protection against vapors and gases other than carbon monoxide gas. The end seals on a canister should be left in place until the canister is attached to the gas mask. After a canister with a mechanical timer is secured to a gas mask, it must be replaced as soon as the mechanical timer indicates that it has bpen in use for the intended service life, even though it has never been exposed to a harurdous atmosphere. After a canister containing a built-in window panel indicator is attached to a gas mask, it must be re placed whenever the substance behind the window changes color, even though the canister may never have been applied in a coiilamiuatcd atmosphere. The maximum time that any type of canister should be left attached to a gas mask is one year. Canis ters which have been in storage with end seals intact for more than four years should lie discarded. Some gas mask manu facturers date canisters with the recom mended expiration date for canister use. Mechanical damage which distorts a canister may result in leakage of a contami nant through the canister wall; crushing of the granules or pellets into finer particles, which increases the breathing resistance of the cani'lei'; or channeling of contaminants through areas of decreased resistance, which reduces the service life of the canister. Cor rosion of the canister may result in leak age of a hazardous substance through the canister wall and thus reduce the canister's useful life. Mechanically damaged or cor roded canisters should be replaced.

A recently published papes. of the Joint Respirator Committee of the American In dustrial Hygiene Association and the American Conference of Governmental In dustrial Hygienists lists certain procedures which must be taken to allow the use of airline respirators in atmospheres immedi ately hazardous to life or health.1- This in formation was published because the Joint Respirator Committee recognized that con ditions of a routine process or o|ierational designs may occasionally preclude the utili zation of respirators approved by the Bureau for use in immediately dangerous atmos pheres and may dictate the employment of an airline respirator. It is not possible to list the detailed procedures here. Respirator users are urged to refer to the publication for instructions. The airline respirator is considered to be the most versatile type of respirator because it can lie used against a wide variety of air contaminants, both particulate and gaseous, with the limitations previously listed. Most airline respirators arc light in weight, com fortable to wear compared to other types of respirators, offer little or no resistance to breathing, and the flow of air to the respiratory inlet covering usually provides a cooling and refreshing effect. An airline source of air which is not carried by the wearer means that there are definite limita tions in regard to the use of an airline Airline respirators arc approved by the Bureau for use in atmospheres containing airborne parlinilatr, vaixirs, and gases that respirator may lie worn for long periods of time without appreciable discomfort for prnlnugrd work in hazardous atmosphere. respirator. There arc three modes of air flow foe airline respirators: continuous; demand; and pressure-demand. The continuous flow airline respirator supplies air to the respira tory inlet covering continuously even when the wearer exhales. The demand flow air line respirator supplies air to the respiratory inlet covering only when the wearer inhales.: The pressure-demand flow airline respirator supplies air to the respiratory inlet covering until a predetermined air pressure is estab lished in the respiratory inlet covering, and are not immediately dangerous to life or health or from which the wearer could escape without the aid of the respirator. Tlic reason for this limitation is that the respirator wearer is de|iendcnt ii|Hm an ex- lemal source of respirable air which is subject to failure under some conditions such as accidental stopping of a comprestor, depiction of compressed air in a tank, or accidental rupture of the air-supply hose. A major disadvantage of the airline res pirator is the trailing air-supply hose, which limits the travel of the wearer. The trailing hose must lie arranged so as to minimize kinking, liernniiiig entangled in objects, ami tripping the wearer. Also, precautions should be taken to protect the hose against damage such as cutting, crushing, or burning. An armored hose may be necessary under some However, the Bureau now approves a com conditions. Prior to using an airline respira tor, the user should always examine the bination airline respirator with an auxiliary air-supply hose for defects and test it for irlf-contaiucd air supply carried by the bhxkagc. then supplies additional air when the wearer inhales, to maintain a positive pressure in the respiratory inlet covering. .> The U.S. Bureau of Mines tests and ap proves airlines respirators.11 The continuous, wearer for protection in atmospheres im mediately hazardous to life or health, induding an atmosphere with a deficiency of oxygen.

When it is necessary to use a tank of com pressed air, the demand flow airline respi rator is preferred, since it will conserve the supply of respirable air to a greater degree Ilian the other types of airline respirators. The pressure-demand flow device also may he used with a tank of compressed air, al though it will deplete the air supply at a faster rale than the demand flow unit. The constant flow airline respirator is recom mended oidy for use with an air com pressor as the source of respirable air. The quality of the compressed air used as breathing air is the responsibility of the airline respirator user. Precautions must he taken to insure a clean supply of respirable air is available at the proper pressure and in sufficient quantity. The U. S. llureau of Mines stales that the approval of an airline respirator is valid only when it is supplied with compressed breathing air that meets the most recent requirements of Compressed Gas Association Specification G7.I for Type I, Class 1) gaseous air and shall contain less than five milligrams of oil vapor or oil particulates per cubic meter of air. The most recent specification, 117.1, was pub lished in 1966.1J Analytical methods which may he employed to test the quality of the compressed air arc given in those s|iecificalions. If tanks of compressed air arc pur chased for use with airline respirators, the purchaser should s|iccify that the vendor furnish tanks of compressed air meeting the incut ii ined s|icriAral ion. Most air compressor systems employ in ternally oil-lubricated pistons for air com pression. Oil and water droplets, scale and other foreign particles, and oil va|ior may be present in the compressed air. Tllese contaminants can be removed by mechanical and chemical compressed air filters. This (\pc of compressor should lie well main tained to prevent it from overheating due to excessive friction. An overheated compres sor may form harmful amounts of carbon monoxide gas. The compressor should be eciuip|ied with a high temperature actuated alarm which warns if the compressor begins to overheat, and a carbon monoxide alarm which gives a warning that a harmful con centration of carbon monoxide is present in the compressed gas. The compressor manu facturer should be consulted for aid in making sure that the compressor will supply respirable air. Certain types of air compressors which may be water lubricated or which may utilize non-lubricatcd diaphragms, graphite rings, or graphite vanes for air compression arc available. These compressors are superi or to oil lubricated compressors in supplying respirable air. The compressor intake should be located in an area where the air is dean and unconlaminatcd. The compressor intake should lie kept away from all sources of air con tamination including engine exhaust. Chem ical and mechanical filters for connection to the compressor intake are available. An air storage receiver of sullicicnt capacity to allow the airline respirator wearer to escape from the contaminated area in case of compressor failure is recommended for use with the compressor. If |mssihlc, alt air compressor separate from that used to sup ply compressed air for industrial equipment is recommended for supplying air to airline respirators. This should be considered for installation in new operations or where major alterations to industrial operations justify it. Couplings for attachment of airline res pirators to the source of respirable air should Ik incompatible with couplings for other gas systems, to prevail accidental connection of airline respirators with sources of non-rcspirable gases or oxygen.

Tile airline respirator contains a quirkdisconnect coupling for the air-supply hose which is secured by some means to the res pirator wearer, often by attachment to a belt worn by the wearer. When this coupling is disconnected, the breathing tube connected to the respiratory inlet covering is left open to allow the wearer to breathe through the IiiIk. Also, the portion of the coupling at tached to the air-supply hose closes the outlet ol the air-supply hose when the coupling is disconnected to prevent escape of the compressed air.

An approved hose mask with blower may use air-supply hose up to a maximum length of 300 feet in multiples of 25 feet. An approved hose mask without blower may use a hose up to a length of 75 feet in multiples of 2S feet. The large diameter air-supply hose must be strong enough to resist collapsing and permanent deformation when a crushing force is applied against it. Also, the hose must resist attack by solvents such as gasoline. Hose masks may be used for protection for long periods of time. The hose mask with blower may be used for respiratory protection in any hazardous atmosphere re gardless of the ty)>e of concentration of contaminant and in an atmosphere with any degree of oxygen deficiency.

The small positive pres sure is obtained hy means of a spring- loaded or balanced demand regulator and a balanced exhalation valve. Both types of devices, except those used for self-rescue, employ a hand-operated bypass system to permit the wearer to breathe if the demand valve tails. t Self-contained breathing apparatus usual ly employ a full facepiece hut sometimes a mouthpiece and nose clip arc used Ap paratus using compressed or liquified air or oxygen, except those used for self-rescue, contain a gage visible to the wearer which indicates the remaining gas or liquid. A timer, which actuates an alarm, is used in the oxygen-generating device, except those employed for self-rescue. A remaining service life indicator nr warning device is used hy apparatus utilising compressed air or oxygen, except those employed for self rescue. The U. S. Bureau of Mines states that a self-contained breathing apparatus is ap proved only if it supplies respirable breath ing gas to the wearer.11 Oxygen, both as a compressed gas and as a liquid, must meet the requiremaps of the United States I`harmacopcia for medical or breathing oxygen.'* Compressed air must meet the most recent requirements of the Compressed (ias Association Commodity Specification for Air, (i-7.1.

The self-contained breathing apparatus has no limitation in regard In the nature of the hazardous atmosphere in which it may be worn. It provides complete respira tory protection in any concentration of par ticulate or gaseous contaminant ami in any condition of oxygen deficiency. Since the wearer carries his own supply of respirable atmosphere with him, lie is indc|>cndcnt of the surrounding atmosphere. The apparatus allows the wearer to move with comparative freedom and he is not limited to movement in a restricted area.

' The . breathing atmosphere supplied to wearer by self-contained breathing apparatus using liquified air or liquified oxygen is cool, which may be an advantage when the apparatus is employed in hot atmosphere. The dctnaml-ty-pc self-contained breathing apparatus produces a negative pressure in s facepiece during inhalation which may per mit inward leakage of contaminants into the facepiece. The pressure-demand type self-contained breathing apparatus maintains a positive pressure in the facepiece eves during inhalation, which prevents inward leakage of contaminants into the facepiece. Tlie ambient atmospheric pressure afTects Use of Respirators in Panitennts Atmospheres Procedures covering the safe use of res pirators in atmosphere's immediately dan gerous to life or health encountered in nor mal operations or in emergencies should be established. Personnel must he thoroughly familiar with these procedures. Whenever a respirator is used in an atmosphere immedi ately hazardous to life or health, at least one suitably trained standby man with a self-contained breathing apparatus should be present in the nearest uiicoiitaiuiiinicd area for emergency rescue. The standby man should be trained in the methods of resus citation. Communications hy voice, baud signals, or signal line should he maintained between the respirator user and the standby man. The respirator used should lie equipped with a safety harness ami line for lifting or removing him from the hazardous atmosphere. The standby man should he provided with the means for summoning assistance if an emergency should occur.

However, the longer it takes to write a standard the higher the cost Time is of the essence in drafting a safety standard, as it is in any worthwhile chore. Time is a most precious thing.

The contract with the Bureau of Mines investigates the behavior of liquefied gases, Mich as nitrogen, liquefied natural gas, and chlorine, in water. They are investigating sudden, massive releases of these liquids. While their v.orlt is still far from complete, it appears that liquefied natural gas forms a lattice with the ice. This ice results from the heat of evaporation absorbed from the surrounding water by the LNG. ( of Hazard Evaluation Hazard evaluation permeates all phases of the Coast Guard's hazardous materials work The results of massive cargo spill studies, . mentioned earlier, will provide a hazard ` evaluation technique for guiding decisions on ship and barge design and o]>cration requirements. The studies are already pro viding a better understanding of transporta tion hazards; i.e., "hazard evaluation." Two things should be noted about any hazard evaluation system and ratings men tioned in this paper. First, they are guides to regulatory decision making, and not rigid rules. Second, and as a corollary, other in- ' formation is used whenever available to sup plement or over-ride ratings.

H. MOULTON Respirator Product Mgr., American Optical Co., Southbridge, Mass. lu 24 years of working with the mechanics ; of respirators, it seems that those people in safety who know amt understand respirators best arc (hose who know and undersinnd the United .Stales Ihircau of Mines test ami approval schedules hcsl. And so it is that t we lake a look at the very latest Sehednle No. 2111 covering I hist. Mist, and Fume Respirators. First, though, what is a respirator ? My favorite definition is "A respirator is a de vice designed to make inhaled air respir able." And when you think about it, that statement covers a multitude of products in the respirator field. There are three major classes of respirators: atmosphere - supply mg respirators; air-purifying respirators; and combination, atmosphere-supplying and air-purifying respirators. These break down into six basic types of respirators: 1. Mechanical filter type for dusts, mist* and fumes. (11M 2111) 2. Chemical cartridge type for va|H>rs and gases. (I1M 2311) 3. Gas masks. (I1M 14F) 4. Airline respirators. (I*M I9H) 5. Self contained demand type. (I1M UK) 6. Self-generating oxygen breathing type. (I1M I3K) Along with these six, we now liitd ap- j )*canng on llie market a mm lilln-hhover battery powered respirator that may soon __ appear in quantity, if the filter-ldower respi- ^ oSfi ra,or ,s 10 **IC bureau of Alines, 1 wou^d lc eligible for testing and approval *,wider Schedule 21H, and mayin: under oilier ' A: schedules, too, in the future.

Yet, you may take a small piece of that very same rubber balloon, stretch it across your mouth and inhale the rubber into the mouth to create a small "bomb" for your child or grandchild to squeeze until it blows up with a bang. What this means, you see, is that we expel air front our lungs by relaxing our rib cage muscles and our diaphragm. We inhale by muscular expansion of the rib cage and lowering of the diaphragm. To state it very simply, we arc weaklings at exhaling and quite strong at inhaling. The Bureau of Mines takes this into account in establishing nuiximum values for both inhalation and exhalation resistance of respirators. In the new Bureau of Mines Schedule No. 211), there arc several new resistance requirements for respirators, and these will be reviewed in this paper. But now, let's look at some of the approvals that arc available under this new Schedule No. 21B. There arc, as I sec it, at least 13 approvals available under Schedule No. 21B should any or all manufacturers desire to obtain these either in single filter or twin filter respirators that arc prevalent on the market at this time: 1. For dusts having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cubic meter; (a) single use filter; (b) reusable filter. A few of the old-timers in the respirator area might not recognize this one as the Type "T" approval for toxic dusts of many years ago. Later on, it became the approval for toxic dusts not significantly mure toxic than lead. Yon will note that today we no lunger talk about MAC, or maximum allowable concentrations, but work now with TLV, which stands for threshold limit value. So, today, your Bureau of Mines approval will he given on "toxic dusts having a TLV not less than 0.1 milli gram per cubic meter." It is still possible to get this approval on single-use filters commonly known as the throw-away type, and the approval is still available on a reuseable filter, or, in other words, a filter that may he used anil, after it has become plugged with particulate, may be cleaned by compressed air or other means and used again and again. It is first tested, cleaned, texted, cleaned a second time, and then tested for the third time. Today, we find the single use filter or the disposal throw-away type outnumbering the rctiseablc filters by a huge margin. 2.

With these Id previously listed potential approvals, it is important in make note of the faet that there is provision in Schedule 21 It for testing very complicated units, extending approvals of previous ap proved respirators, or oilier testing that might he ropicsted of the Ihircati of Mines.

Jteforc discussing the actual tests in Schedule 21 It, we should review the materials used and the size of the particulate involved. A yardstick is needed to give us an idea of just what we arc uoiking with in the respirator laboratories.

Likewise, lead dust is about 20 times smaller than can he seen with the naked eje, and the lead fume generated for u*c in testing rspir.itors is approximately 30 times smaller than can lie seen with the naked eye.

In the DOl' or dioctyl phthalate snioke used in testing tillers for radioactive particidatc, the particle size of the DOR smoke is al>out 30 times smaller than could be seen with the naked eye. In the new respirator fitting test involving coal dust, the coal dust is about 10 times smaller than can be seen with the naked eye. Isoamyl-acetate vapors are used for fitting tests on certain respirators. The materials for testing arc placed in test chamlicrs for efficiency tests, with many pieces of etiuipment such as air pumps, precipitators, and monitoring equipment lieing used during the actual conducting of the test. A review of the 21B lest requirements will point out to you several new changes in the breathing resistance requirements since there are now limitations on the initial resistance to inhalation at K5 liters |>cr min ute and several adjustments have been made in the allowable exhalation resistance at 85 liters per minute. All of these new require ments will result in respirators being de veloped that are very conifortable to the worker as far as ease of breathing is con cerned. There arc, however, new tests involved for respirators, and some of them rould become controversial since it apiwars that it might lie necessary for manufacturers of respirators to make face masks much larger than those that workers arc familiar with, and there is a tendency for workers not to accept face masks that are rather large ill design. 1'crimps modern day technology will allow respirators to lie constructed that will meet all of these new requirements and still meet the very important worker accept ance requirements. Following arc some of the special tests required of various dust, mist and fume respirators: 1. Dust, Mist and Fume Respirator Face piece Pressure-Tightness Test. Fifteen to 20 people -- variety of faces. Respirator fitted -- exhalation valve held dosed -- exhale gently into facepiece -- positive pressure created in mask -- no leakage -- respirator fits.

It is interesting to note that there are respirators on the market that have been approved for protection against radio-nu clides where the concentration dues not ex ceed the threshold limit value or concentra tion limits by more than 10 and more than 100 times. However, no mask, at the time of writing this article, lias been approved by the United States Bureau of Mines for pro tecting against radionuclides in a concen tration from 100 to 1,000 times the TLV. Although the Uranine Giambcr Test is in Schedule 21U, it is no longer used by the Bureau of Mines or most manufacturers since uranine contaminates the laboratory and the equipment, making it almost impos sible to get accurate test results. A review of all of the previously dcscrilicd test procedures and requirements will give you an idea of the tremendous amount of laboratory work that lies behind an ap proved respirator. You can see that, if you pass all the necessary tests as we have re viewed them and you have a Bureau of Mines approved respirator, then, as a manu facturer of respirators, you need a little bit more. To the approved respirator you must have added suitable packaging to meet Bureau of Mines standards, proper advertis ing, suitable literature or catalogs for the users to use as reference, proper quality coo trul for all components during manufactur ing, a sales and distribution setup, and ym this review, recognize and stipulate modern equipment can have on oil systems control. -^|^Cvciitivc mainlcnaiwroQ defensive sab' ^Wer cfpiipment npcrql>ft!jPslKHiM he tiain "tbf thoroughly nndcrsj&yBlhc vehicle tli arc set to do business.

Good health is a business asset. Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology. Indus trial disease is directly attributed to expo sure to harmful materials or uncontrolled conditions in the work environment. There are more than 900 occupational exposures to toxic substances and conditions that may impair the health of the worker. Among the more important of these toxic substances are the alkalies, corrosive salts, acids (chromic acid in particular), fat solvents, dehydrators, dyes, beryllium, silica dust, radioactive mate rials, etc. The practice of industrial hygiene control and an intimate knowledge of toxi cology can reduce the incidence of occupa tional disease. The techniques used are: the maintenance of clean work rooms and ma chines; enclosure of hazardous processes; exhaust ventilation over dusty, vapor, or fume producing operations; provision of protective clothing; measuring and monitor ing of contaminated or suspicious work problem in the United States. It u ettiiwS that the average cost per injurj'iHS times the figure of the wages jeumf Safety programs and industrial i/nStjK services have reduced the numbcrMni verity of accidents but much mort, taSS. to be done. i'SSB Competent safety engineers state (tea* than half of all industrial accidents it;je ventable.
