Schroeder, Vice-President--Safety, United Air Lines Transport ^ration, Chicago. S ent Records--Essential to Effective Accident Prevention By R. L. FORNEY s Director, Industrial Division, National Safety Council, Inc., Chicago _al safety work over a long period ,' has shown that success in accident r.i cannot be attained unless accident :e is completely recorded and an"d use made of the information. ut records and statistics on flight .-j have been collected and analyzed Gvil Aeronautics Administration. In of the principles I shall advocate ... i applied to flight accident records Civil Aeronautics Administration. Company which has paid little or no to safety is likely to answer any regarding its accident record by the ,-t--"We don't have any accidents." . *r inquiry usually reveals two rea'r this statement: either there are no made, or there is no understanding accidents should be counted. This _>my first topic--accident definitions dent rates. Since the beginning of organized industrial safety, a need has been felt for standardized definitions and rates, so that accurate com parisons could be made of accident experience from one plant to another, and from one period of time to another. All of this dis cussion has been carried on by practical men, interested in workable procedures, hence, the results they have achieved are not theoretical, but are eminently practical. The rules finally developed on these mat ters are now incorporated in the American Standard Method of Compiling Industrial Injury Rates. This method is used not only by members of the National Safety Council, but by community councils, federal and state governments, trade associations, and others in industrial accident reporting. The definitions are contained in the Na tional Safety Council's Safe Practices Pam phlet No. 21, which may be secured by any 253 American Society of Safety gineers--Engineering Section Officers 1940-1941 -hairman--F.

ADAMS ndent, Plant Protection, Linden Division, General M otors Corp., Linden, N. J. " days ago I received a call from an ` the army. He wanted me to recom'ihim all the men I knew about with lection qualifications. I attempted to names of several fine appearing from my files, but as I read their '' and other qualities he would stop -g "Sorry, but that man does not qualifications." 1 him what the qualifications were, 'ed: "W e would like them to have j or navy experience, although that essential as having been a member 'anized police force. If possible they ve had plant protection experience : company which gives a good trainve all they should be fine investi- 1be able to write full and compre- orts." fully I told him that all men such ribed were on steady payrolls at ires with which he could not hope ! with his offer of $1320 per year. t mention intelligence and loyalty, those two very essential qualities .lied within the framework of the of the desired men. -weeks Post has an article by Garet *- which he states that new plants in States financed by the U. S. , the British government and 'tal, now built, building or pend ing, total 3,429, at a total cost of $3,930, 000,000. Figures have come to mean little, but'the fact is that every one of those plants must be protected against all manner of in fluences and forces that could lessen their productivity. This does not take into con sideration any of the thousands of existing plants now being operated for the govern ment or producing other necessities. They also have to be guarded. A moment's consideration of the foregoing allows the deduction that there is soon to be a greatly increased demand for trained and experienced plant protection men, and a corresponding shortage of them. It follows that the qualified plant protec tion men of existing industry can and must make contributions to further national de fense activities. Such contributions may take two main forms: one, the training of thous ands of new men for the job; and, two, the assistance in the planning of plants to permit the job to be done with fewer men. An axiom of training plant protection men which has been forcibly impressed on me, is that only a plant protection man can tram another one in all the many phases of the job. You may get better safety training from good safety engineers; you may get better fire prevention training from good firemen, and employee relations training from per sonnel men, but only the experienced pro- Cement and Quarry Section Officers 1940-1941 -hairmtm--R.

Company, Hudson, N. Y. Cement and Quarry Accident Experience By IVAN F. LeGORE Cement and Quarry Section, NSC, October 8, 1941 Last year in this meeting we discussed the place of industrial safety work in the national defense program and the effect the national defense program might have on safety work. We spoke of the magnified problems of labor turnover and shifts of personnel within the plant organization to be expected, and of the much greater attention that would have to be given to the placement, training and edu cation of new workers, transferred workers, and old-timers. As anticipated, the period has been one of tremendous readjustment. Well under way is migration of labor to defense centers. It is said not to be as broad as World W ar migration, and is not yet drawing heavily from farm areas and non-defense centers. But the movement is growing and it is es timated that industry must recruit 500,000 workers in the next 12 months from outside local areas to forestall shortages. Added to our problem is the problem of priorities which confronts maintenance and repair groups with the necessity of utilizing substitute materials in place of those with which they have been familiar for years. Careful thought and planning will be needed in instructing workmen in the use of sub stitutes, including the use of lumber in some cases for lack of steel and iron. Organizations that heeded the nals lost no time in reviewing programs and in perfecting their i selecting, placing and training i safe job performance. These plants got ready for thd period also by putting more indvxj work on the numerous details of 1 program, and they tightened up spections of physical properties, environment cause almost as many i as personnel faults, and this factor j importance when operations are Old equipment and old sources of : terials returned to service after disuse require especially careful and, where necessary, these were br to safety standards. Plants that moved tardily to mee uation suffered adverse safety record most part. While accepting accident tion work as "a good thing", they ' to take steps to detect and promptly environmental and personnel fault! accidents could occur. While gi* safety program lip service, the failed to make use of accident Pr tools which are available.

The Safety Engineer's Problems in Constructor By J. E. JACKMAN Safety Director, McCrady-Rodgers Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. W e come here annually, not merely to be told that accident prevention work is impor tant, but to find, if possible, some answer to our problems. It is my opinion that the most important problem is H O W TO GET COM PLETE COOPERATION IN TH E AC CIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM from the top to the bottom of the organiza tion. Another problem is H O W TO ENCOUR AGE AND ASSIST IN KEEPING THIS COOPERATION ACTIVE. If we safety engineers GET and K E E P this cooperation it seems to me that we will have solved most of our accident prevention problems. and I do all I can to keep frc hurt." Then we will talk to the for' will probably answer, "I do all to keep the men from getting hurt,' erally I don't get very far because are just careless. They don't do w* them." Now, we will ask the superinten he thinks about accident preventio accidents, etc., and probably he "As long as our insurance rate too high, I don't think we have worry about." H e will probably a is very busy and that his foremen responsible for the safety of their We, of course, must assume that some interest in our accident prevention work has been shown by the management. Ju st how much is shown will depend to a great extent upon the ability of the safety engineer to SELL the idea. To properly consider the problem of GET TIN G cooperation, we must first consider what the general attitudes of the average organization are. First, we ask the laborer. His answer will probably be, "No one wants to get hurt Then, we will ask the presided' company what he thinks about this he will probably answer that he do anything about the costs of accid the secretary or treasurer takes insurance--"GO ASK H IM ABO He may add that he has hired a saf neer and that this whole problem is There is something radically w" all this reasoning, and it's all beca misunderstanding of the problem need for complete cooperation from borer to the president. Food Section Officers 1940-1941 *Chairman--D ean M.

MONDAY AFTERNOON SESSION October 6, 1941 Presiding General Chairman F rank E. A mes, Manager, Safety Department! Bros. Steamship Company, Inc., New Orleans. The Why of Safety By LT. COL. ELLIO TT VANDEVANTER Executive Assistant, Upper Mississippi Valley Division, Corps of Eng U S. Army, St. Louis Safety work was started about 1910, pos sibly somewhat earlier. W e have been stead ily working and earnestly trying to prevent accidents for 31 years. W e have made prog ress, yes, but are any of us satisfied with our results? Why, I ask you, must we fight continually to protect our workers ? Why must we coddle them, display posters, have frequent safety meetings on their employers' time, and pay them for lost time injuries, many of which have been caused by their own carelessness, lack of obedience and of interest? Why shouldn't our personnel have enough interest in their own welfare and in their family's welfare to learn all they can about how to protect themselves? It seems to me that were I in their boots I would first of all learn how to take care of myself. And certainly our supervisors, who have been with us for many years, should accept their responsibility and really make an effort to protect the men under them. As an example, a number of electric cranes are operated on many of our dams. For sev eral years no injury occurred. Then one man grew careless. He was thoroughly accus tomed to oiling this unguarded ge should have realized his danger. H-- slipped and it was badly mashed by a] in the gear wheel. Not one of the visory force had reported this ha did the injured man. It could not from the superstructure and the is that not even the foreman had eve up on top of the crane. After the ao occurred, of course guards were insfc But why! Oh why! must we the accident to lead us to the danger] Why should we not have frequent tho inspections of all installations, made " sponsible men who are well acquainte the situation, and have the ability to i hazard and to make the necessary cl subject, of course, to the approval local supervisor? In case funds are re request should be made to the Distric I feel that every "Brass H at" at Da headquarters, when making a trip ' field, should look into the safety situati addition to attending to the particular] which is the cause of his visit.

MONDAY AFTERNOON SESSION October 6, 1941 Presiding--V ice-C hairman C. M. Mense, Lehigh Valley Shoe Company. AJlenh Federal Meat Inspection and Safety \1 By W. G. REED Meat Inspection Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, Chicago Modern industry has created problems in safety of such a nature that it is the respon sibility of every organization to acquaint its employees with the modern-day hazards and at the same time to develop within each individual an attitude of safety as an in tegrated part of his personality. Inspectors working for the Bureau of An imal Industry of the Department of Agri culture in the packing industry encounter their greatest accident hazards on the killing floors of these plants. In January 1941 this class of personnel reported eleven disabling injuries for a frequency of 22.30, and severity of 0.22 for that month. The victims of these injuries were lay inspectors, junior veter inarians, and assistant veterinarians, most of them skilled workers doing a wide variety of work, most of it under conditions which may be considered hazardous in nature. It is interesting to note that all of these injuries were reported from offices which re port only 26.6 per cent of the total man-hours for that class of employees. If only the offices which reported injuries were con sidered and the frequency calculated for them only, the frequency would be 83.06 per million man-hours, but as 73.4 per cent of the man hours reported for the same class of em ployment by all offices carried no injuries, the frequency, as previously stated, was 22.30 and the severity 0.22. Reports for April of this year % slight decrease in man-hours and a if in both frequency and severity, the i being 12.41 and severity 0.12. The! of injuries was reduced from eleve the man-hours reduced from 493,1521 uary to 483,286 in April. Three of 1 offices reported four of the disablin ies in April. Only one was caused by slipping < killing floor against the four repol January. The same number of kniq was reported as in January, four, that these were reported from widel| rated offices indicates that this ha common to most operations of the sa and is not the result of a few stations I fewer trained men or that the emplo a few stations are more careless than < Hazards on the killing floor are difficj control, but we have no "repeaters" same men experiencing more than one i of the same kind reported from that.j of employment during the months of Ja April and June. We believe that this ' indicates that reasonable safety precari are being taken. In June of this year the man-hou.. dropped to 473,214, but the number of i ies had increased to nine for a frequei 19.13 and severity of 0.19. Two offic ported injuries in all three months.

' program this year is somewhat less a complete than in previous years. We that we have at previous Congresses tried to accomplish too much as a and that because of the number of 1 and the number of papers, many of -bon members were prevented from nS proceedings of other Sections or of `uncil as a whole which they would ked to attend and from which they have obtained great benefit. So this *Ur program is shorter. Tomorrow i we have two separate group meet- ings. One of those is especially set up for members who are interested in paper prod ucts and paper specialties manufacturing; the other is for those interested in pulpwood log ging operations. Wednesday is a completely open day. On Thursday we have our annual Section Luncheon, followed by the final ses sion. The presentation of the trophies for the Section's safety contest will, as usual, be made on Thursday afternoon following the luncheon. (The General Chairman then presented his "Progress Report of Section Activities," briefly reviewing the year, and mentioning the good work of the many Sectional Com mittees.) 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 Petroleum Section Officers 1940-1941 ' Chairman--C h a s.

You know the to that question or you would not be Roday. Last year industrial accidents Bx hundred and fifty million dollars in [cash outlay. The additional cost due I time and to the removal from producf skilled workers would add greatly to igure. It is undeniable that a large Jof this unnecessary loss is due to acciinvolving new employees. The figures " it. During the last year, accidental *in industry have been increasing at a pice as fast as should be expected from pCreasing number of employees. During fdeaths were up 10 per cent over^ 1939, 1 employment in manufacturing induslincreased only 6 per cent. Lost-time , have followed the same pattern as i$. The inexperienced employees clearly [been a major source of accidental cost lay. This is not surprising in view of the many studies which usually show that accident rates during first year of employment are at least twice the rates for subsequent years. W e must conclude, therefore, that our new, inexperienced men are largely responsible for the recent disproportionate rise in indus trial accidents. This conclusion suggests that substantial results can be obtained from con centrated safety promotion among this high- accident group of workers. A clue to the answer to this problem lies in a recent study by the National Safety Council. In one industry--the only one for which figures are available--the principal cause of accidents among experienced men was found to be the disregard of instructions. Among new employees, however, the prin cipal causes were ( 1 ) deficient knowledge of safe practices and (2 ) lack of skill. This suggests that the new men were not prepared to be safe workers.

SCHRENK Chief Chemist, Health Division, Bureau of Mines, Pittsburgh, Pa. The properties of refrigerants may be broadly classified into three main groups: (1) Those important for refrigeration; (2) those significant from the standpoint of con fining the refrigerant; and (3) those that be come important if the refrigerant escapes from the machine or container. The first group of properties, such as latent heat of vaporization, specific heat of vapor, specific heat of liquid, etc., is not considered to be directly related to safety and is not dis cussed here. The second group--those properties im portant in confining the refrigerants--has particular significance because it relates to "built-in" safety. This is emphasized because it is believed that the soundest procedure in designing equipment is to give due considera tion to both the health and safety hazards likely to be associated with it. Furthermore, the toxicity, fire, and explosion hazar controlled as long as the refrigerant,* fined. Some properties of this group ! stability, (2) corrosiveness, (3) point, (4) pressure developed in the (5 ) warning odor or irritation, and (6 of detection. The third group includes such pro as toxicity (of compound and decon products), irritating action, and explo Many substances have been suggest: tried as refrigerants, but the numbers more or less extensively is limited. (T? gives a list of refrigerants that are incfl in the American Standard Safety Cod* Mechanical Refrigeration B9-1939.)

I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Old Hickory, Tenn. You will all agree that no one method has proved satisfactory in getting the individual employee interested in the safety program. It requires' many methods. schedule at least monthly and every employe, some time during the month would attend a safety meeting in their department. . No doubt the most important individual in getting safety across to the employee and developing his, let us say, safety conscious ness, is the supervisor and foreman. He must be sold--he must accept the responsi bility for safety in his department. The foreman or supervisor who has a good safety performance has a good production record. He knows how to handle employees and em ployee relations. He is the key man in any safety organization on any plant. The problem facing the safety department of a plant is to supply the tools with which supervision is to maintain the interest of employees at all times. The first and we might say the most essential thing is to have a sound safety organization which reaches every employee from the plant manager to the man on the bottom. F irst let me say that the management should be sold on safety and should expect every employee to make safety a part of his every-day job. Such an organization should have a central safety committee com posed of the plant manager, the members ot his staff and safety supervisor. Area or departmental safety committees composed of supervisors, foremen and key operators in each area. Shift and sectional safety com mittees which cover all employees. All of the committees should meet on a regular Next I believe there should be a sound method of classification of injuries such u those established and used by most indus ries. There should be no discrimination against departments or individuals in such classifications and all should be treated =<1iV Such classifications include major or lost time injuries, sub-major injuries and minor injuries. O ur plant and I believe a good many plants of our company have an addi tional classification which we call the sub minor injury. I am sold 100 per cent on this classification and let me take a few minutes to explain its significance in our safety program. In 1925, the first full calendar year of operations, we had 33 major injuries, two of which were fatalities, 177 sub-major in juries and 11,790 minor injuries. We worked slightly more than 3,000,000 exposure hoars which gave us a frequency ratio of 10.9. By 1933 we were able to reduce this to four major injuries, 44 sub major and 2,260 minor injuries. But included in these injuries were infection cases of major or sub-major classification, which had failed to get prompt first aid attention. Pressure had been put on the prevention of all injuries and em ployees were failing to report those of * very minor nature, which were all potential infection cases. With the permission of our home office, we initiated the sub-minor in- Wood Products Section Officers 1940-1941 Qeneral Chairman-- O. C. Boileau, RCA Manufacturing Co., Inc., Camden, N.
