D O O L IT T L E Aviation Manager, Shell Oil Company, St. Louis, Mo. The speaker said in part: There are few of us who appreciate the great care at is exercised in the operation of a modern air transport line to assure safety bid a degree of comfort as well. Any normal man or woman having average eye- psight and no physical disabilities, and being possessed of average intelligence, can gleam to fly an airplane in a relatively short tim e; but it is a far cry from the mere Bet that one knows how to fly an airplane to the art of flying as practiced by airline pilots who have made it their profession. These pilots are not only masters of every ranch of the art of ordinary flying, but must take a post graduate course in blind fo r instrument flying. This training is given in special airplanes equipped with a gpoded cockpit and the pilot is obliged to fly by means of his instruments alone, as he nnot see outside the airplane. _ _ ... Probably unknown to the vast majority of air travelers, there exists in every jfcinodern air transport company today a complete medical division which closely exam Lines the physical and mental qualifications of all their pilots once every month or gsix weeks. The examination is strict and thorough, and is given by physicians | trained in aeronautical work. These examinations are in addition to those required jjpsemi-annually by the United States Department of Commerce. The eye examina ti o n requires that the pilot have not only normal vision, but that his judgment of 153 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 v Council `rent from the re or unnatur,, ,e eyes are slo, of the costs W E N T Y - T H I R D A N N U A L S A F E T Y C O N G R E S S NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL lman welfare *1 the older view4 -ealm of hums ' m efficiency, f uce the costs m tight and bodilyhut the recently y which affect" rows new lighig /ell as the obviJg This means thef ders.

The speaker said in part : In the automotive industry there is too much repauj| and not enough maintenance, and too many managers that don't know the diffrend between repair and maintenance. The repairer fixes very little but the maintaina_ uses every means to prevent repairs. Maintenance takes care of the little thing^j instead of allowing them to accumulate into heavy repair bills, interrupted operation and expensive claims. 3 It has been authentically reported that many companies make it so unpleasant fog their drivers when they report poor brakes, bad steering or other defects, that theg3 hesitate to register complaints for fear of losing employment. f| The problem of safe transportation on highways is not so much what a comparag tively few safety-conscious, well-financed and managed corporations can do, but whatg can be done through regulation to enforce safety maintenance and promote safe' thinking among all motorists and fleet operators. . i ' The answer to this maintenance problem surely lies in state or city operated ini spection bureaus, where all vehicles are required to appear at intervals for inspection^ Memphis, Tennessee, is successfully operating such a bureau where all motorj vehicles are required to appear once in six months for inspection, and a fee of fiftWj cents is charged, which maintains the station and gives to the city a surplus to bej used for further street and highway safety. It has resulted in a 25 per cent decrease^ in fatalities and casualty underwriters have reported a very substantial decrease property damage claims. This station provides standardized inspection by trained operators. No repair| work is done, no attendant is permitted to recommend any repair shop. The motor-| ist may go to any shop he chooses or, if capable, he may do the necessary correcting^ himself. If he wishes suggestions or advice on the safe maintenance of his vehicle, a competent supervisor experienced in automotive work is available. ^ Fleet operators, especially those national in their scope, having well manae;edj| maintenance departments, found little or no trouble at this inspection bureau. But; those organizations having shops of the "fix-it-up" type, or no shops at all, found* their equipment in great need of repair. This was particularly true of the owner:;| rjver t) Sght tru.

The chairman then introduced the first speaker. L , The Economics of Accident Prevention in Handling Marine Cargo By H. W. HEINRICH A ssistant Superintendent, Engineering and Inspection Division, The Travelers Insurance C o, Hartford, Conn. The speaker said in part: According to data provided by the U. S. Depart ment of Commerce, 342,489 tons of cargo valued at $10,910,429,000 were handled for export and import in the United States in 1932. This includes cargo handled on the rivers and lakes as well as at ocean ports. The payroll required was $188,000,000. Estimated payments for compensation and employers' liability claims and for medical and hospital services amounted to approximately $14,000,000. In addition to this, the indirect costs of accidents in stevedoring work is approxi mately four times as much as the direct costs, or $56,000,000. From these data accident costs may be expressed in terms of tons and payroll, as follows: Total cost per ton, 20c. Total cost per $100 of payroll, $37. \ Part of total cost per ton not covered by insurance, 16c. Part of total cost ..'vL; per $100 of payroll not covered by insurance, $29.60. , It is fair to compare accident costs with other so-called overhead costs in han dling cargo in order that a true picture of its relative importance may be had. Stevedoring operators in the Port of New York provide the following estimates: Overhead costs, .068; labor costs, .68; bid price, .90; profit, .13; accidents, .20. >f these from a doctor of disnsation ire into occur, y he is 1 favor suspiiis eyes s from lysician ses, he ply be- eration atient's eration mg the ts who id try- of us orough i corn- many before ell the few of , aches ion to lething ay the nistake efforts about neces- Ip itients. human ; some .n aind ; busi- i t only , riends. neces-; tonsil' or his ,o call The t w e n t y -third a n n u a l s a f e t y congres s ; r national safety council Metals Section Officers 1933-34 I General Chairm an-P.

His results show that accidents reach then p in the summer months, and that the current path through the body is usually from theIn'^ever'y'case*ol^ekctric shock there are certain factors that influence.the result ing injury These are the type of circuit, its voltage, current and resistance, the points of contact with the circuit and the duration of the shock. . P In a series of experimental studies carried out at the Johns HopkinsUniversity in which the author was associated with Dr. O. R-Langworthy of the Schoo Medicine and Dr. D. R.
