The lyrical school Ims hasn't changed very much in design or saiely performance since Ihe ihinies. Our eurreui research is being stepped up to ensure the maximum feasible protection for the 17 million innocent young sters who are being transported in these vehicles every day. We are studying prob- e.-cc.pc and rescue procedures. Let me also pc>int out, however, that perfecting the vehicle will never solve the problem by itself. We must continue and intensify our broadbased efforts under the Highway Saiely Act of 1906 to help the States tighten up motor vehicle inspection, driver education and licensing, to upgrade emergency medical services, to improve traf fic enforcement and investigation, and to gel .-air land <i i In. lira c-e.ti ! o 'er h lepi.d a.-:, risiiia -- per ecu: of drivers killej in accidents lost their lives because the other guv was drunk. Why should a drunk grl a license in the fust place? Why should lie keep it, when it's so easy to prove his guilt? It's as illogical -- and inhumane-- to give a driving permit t a known alcoholic with repeated convictions for drunk driving as it is to furnish knives to homicidal maniacs. Let uie emphasize that our major immedi ate focus will be on the chronic alcoholic; not the social drinker. The Rcpint on Al cohol and Highway Safety whii)h we sub mitted to the Congress in 190S clearly pin points the alcoholic as the principal offender. 'I'liis is a prohhiu we mtis| lace fonrsi|iiarc. We must move rapidly with a pro gram to identify the alcoholic and control his access lo a car. We must clear, inebriated menaces off the road. lut we must also recognize that the social drinker who takes one too marly poses a serious driving threat on the highway. We need related programs to help social drinkers, and especially young people, recognize that even limited amounts of alcohol can impair their driving skills and judgment.

Ask about various devices -- Iliac 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 in an academic procession wearing World War 11 surplus gas masks. Tliis is a very serious matter; such masks ate being sold in surplus stores all over the country, and they are essentially worthless.

Training. The more complex the mask, starting with the self-rescuer and the dust mask to the self-contained breathing appara tus, the more the need for training. Unfor tunately, the U. S. Bureau of Mines docs not specify a real training course for wear ers of self contained breathing apparatus .'(her than mine-rescue devices. But train you must, in dark, smoke, wetness, cold, and heat, if you are to really actpiirc the degree of familiarity which will give you assurance about a mask or breathing apparatus when the chips arc down anti the emergency is real. The extreme importance of this state ment is emphasized by numerous fatal eases, which, while beyond the scope of this pres entation, arc sobering and should some day be published by an impartial scientific organi zation. To emphasize again, we must consider respiratory protection as part of the system -- man, environment, control. Each part of the system, with all variations, must he care fully evaluated, weighed, nyd understood be fore any successful peuleelioii either by con trol measures or by protective devices can be effective. It is far more complicated than buying devices from a salesman who him self may not have all the necessary infor mation or whose zeal for essential details may be less than enthusiastic. If one wishes to succeed in using respira tory protective devices, we.would recommend lie look at it as part o f 'a system -- man, environment, and control. To ignore an in-depth analysis o( any one of the three is essentially to negate any .value from a de vice, no matter how high its rating or how costly its price. Human life demands our best, ami noth ing is more vital or urgent to life than our next breath. As our three candles die out, so will life, but hopefully we have en couraged you to look deeply at breathing svslcms.

COLEMAN Radiological Protection Officer, National Lead Co., South Amboy, N.J. 4 -A iv 000734 B-- 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 this con trol to tlie 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 lional Lead Company instituted a fftflo evaluate the process control capabilkiisijof nuclear level and density gauges. This! study has resulted in the installation liof numerous nuclear measurement and con-.trol-.ystems. Further, this study has estab lished) that the radioactive materials associi&Jpwrith these systems represent no health hazard when they are used in conjunct with appropriate safety procedures. The Atomic Energy Commission and * Agreement State Boards of Health place* responsibility for the formulation and * plementation of such procedures in * hands of the user and evaluate the result safety programs via periodic inspection- The radiation safety program develop*^ tlie Titanium Pigment Division of Nati^ Lead Company is the subject of This program has been favorably reccirt"." the United States Atomic Energy Co** sion, tlie Canadian Atomic Energy -1.

Aitotlicr problem often to be en countered when any new system is inlro- dnreil into :m organization is ont: arising fiom political controceisics. These coutio- versies may result from jealousies, rivalries, etc., between the safely system ami other organizational subsystems. This problem is not iinruniinon and results primarily because of fears that this new system will detract from the effectiveness of existing systems. The safety administrator must allay this fear by clearly indicating how the safety system will enable other subsystems to maxi mize their effectiveness and contribute more to the overall organizational goal. After solving these initial problems, the safety administrator must work mil a transitional plan for muviiig the new system into opera tion. He must consider when tire system will be placed into operation and should determine if it is practical to place the entire system into existence at once, or if segments of the system should he phased into the picture at predetermined intervals. Another considera tion concerns developing a plan for pattern ing the activity of the safely system's jmallcr subsystems. The administrator must be cer tain that the system's goals, objectives, strategics, rules for operation, work flow procedures, etc., are understood by each member of bis system. Once the system is implemented, it must be managed. The administrator mm,t rely on basic management practices (eg.,, plan ning, executing, and control) to be effective. He must be able to survive the dcinajids of the future as well as the present. He will d>i well In consider alternative ways In acoiinpli .b his lung range goals ami objpetives and weigh these against available resources. Projections of this kind will foster (operatiuual efficiency ami effectiveness. Uuimale Responsibilities of Safely System Once designed and made operational, the safely system will make efforts lo: (a) gain and maintain management support; (b) motivate, educate and train organi zational personnel; (c) develop and maintain an accurate record system; (d) establish the duties and responsibilities of supervisory and employee personnel (c) institute a system of accident investi gation and reporting; (I) establish safe work practices; (g) provide controls over purchase, ust, and maintenance of personal prolcc- .

This paper will cm ei~the. use of respirators only. Afler llie proper respirator lias liccii selecletl and llie wearer lias licen trained lo use it properly, it is essential that the wearer lie given an explanation of the character anil magnitude of the hazard, the principles of nprinliou of the respirator, the probable lime that the respirator will offer protection, liorv lo recognize faulty functioning of the respirator, ami instruc tions ol what to do under emergency condi tions resulting from his work or by acci dental injury lo his respirator. It sliniilil he reuieiiiliereil that the normal oxygen content of atmospheric air at sea level pressure is 20.9 per cent by volume. The symptoms of anoxia begin In appear in hiiiiniis in atmospheric air at sea level picssiirr when the oxygen euuleul drops |o 16 per cent by volume. Thus, an oxygen deficiency for humans in atmospheric air at sea Icecl pressure exists when the oxygen 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 d'stctl and approved by the U.S. Bureau of Wines or respirators tested and listed as acceptable by the U.S. Department of Agriculture should he used. Sometimes, a respirator user must employ a respirator that lias not t'hccii ap proved nr listed as acceptable because cither the type of respirator he must use is not covered try a lest schedule or the hazard for which the respirator is to provide prolection against is not covered by a test mliediilc. When this occurs, tin' respirator ii-cr must assure himself that the respirator manufacturer or another reliable organiza tion lias tested the respirator for the in tended application and that the respirator manufacturer maintains a high standard of ipialily control during production. l-illmil <>j Rexpinilor l'nccfucc hitting of a respirator facepiece is essen tial. Oiten, little attention is given to this matter. Difficulty may he experienced in fitting a full facepiece if the wearer has hollow temples or facial irregularities. A satisfactory seal cannot be obtained if spec tacle temple bars extend under the sealing edge of the full facepiece.

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 eases arc a |icrni;uicnt part of the respirator. Most fillets arc designed to lie used pure and linn discarded, while a few fillers arc de signed so that they ran lie cleansed and reused, kctisoahlc 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. E x treme care must be tahen in selecting the proper type of filter 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 com cut iati.ui, and the activity of the respirator user. The bryathiug resist ance offered by the filter will''increase pro gressively during use as its fibrous material becomes plugged with retained particulate, anil eventually breathing becomes difficult. 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 degi'cc than large size particles. The resistance,'to breathing offered liy 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 in the exhaled nir on the respirator filter and thereby in crease the breathing resistance of the filler. Usually, the respirator fdter becomes more eliiiient for retention of particles during its use ns the quantity of retained particulate increases. However, this may mil always he true. The filtering cllnicnry of some types of filler materials may lie adversely affected by liquid particles. A wide variety of particulate-removing respirators popularly known as nuisance dust and nuisance paint spray respirators are available. They generally are recommended for protection against non-toxic dusts of nomtuxic paint sprays. Many industrial hygienists and physicians feel that there is no such thing as a non-toxic lust or paint spray particulate, since inhaling copious quantities of so-called inert particles, es pecially for long periods of time, can result in adverse physiological clfects. Most of these respirators have poor face-fitting characteristics. A recent publication by Kevoir and Yurgilas shows that nuisance dust respirators permit particulate ftciictralinns that are substantially greater Ilian (lie pcnel rations allowed hy dust respirators approved hy the U S. Ilurcaii of Mines.* Unpublished test results obtained in the author's laboratory show that the nuisance paint spray respirators also permit signifi cant penetrations of air-borne particulate These nuisance paint spray respirators, of course, do not remove organic vapors pres ent ill paint sprays from inspired air and this can be dangerous. Therefore, nuisance dust and nuisance paint spray respirators are not recommended for respiratory protec tion. Use of Chemical Cartridge Respirators Chemical cartridge respirators consist of one or two small cartridge-shaped containers of granular adsorbents or catalysts attached to a hall-mask facepiece or a full face piece. These respirators protect against low concentrations of vapors or gases that ate not immediately dangerous to life. They do lint provide protection against airborne par-. lieulale or an oxygen deficiency. At the present time, the 1)5.

The cartridges may contain one or more adsorb ents-or catalysts in the form of grannies or pellets for removal of vapors or gases from inspired air. Cartridges can vary somewhat in the ipiantity of adsorbent or catalyst tln-y contain, usually 75 to 21X) cubic eenlimelci s. Much care should he taken in choosing the correct type of cartridge for the intended use. Chemical cartridge respirators are useful for low concentrations of vapors and gases that may lie discomforting, irritating, nr toxic, but they should not he utilized fur protection against conccnlratinns of vapors and gases that arc immediately dangerous to life. They should not be used against gaseous contaminants that lack the warning properties of odor or irritation in low, nun- Inxic concentrations. Following is a partial list of gaseous substances against which chemical cartridges should not lie used because they may he highly toxic, lack ade quate warning proper!ics, or are not readily removed from air by adsorbents or catalysts: acrolein, acrylonitrile, arsine, boron hydrides, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbonyls, cyanogen, dimethyl sulfate, ethyl cyanide, Onorine, formaldehyde gas, hydrogen sollidc, methyl bromide, methyl chloride, methyl iodide, nitrogen oxides, nilromclhauc, pcrcli- lorcthanc, phosphine, phosphorus trichloride, slibine. If a gaseous substance is in ilaliug to the eyes, a gas-tight goggle must be used with a half-mask facepiece type chemical car tridge respirator or a chemical cartridge respirator equipped with a full facepiece should be used. A knitted fabric covering (or the periphery of the farcpiccc that con tacts the face should not be woni, slice vapors and gases can penetrate the knitted fabric and enter the interior of the face piece. A chemical earl ridge respirator provides respiratory protection fur a period of time that depends upon (lie type and sire of the cartridge or cartridges used, the type of vapor or gas, the concentration of the vapor or gas, and the activity of the wearer of the respirator.

How ever some of these respirators have a large cauUtei type air-purif) ing element attached either directly (< a mouthpiece or con nected by means of flexible tube to the mouthpiece. In use, the mouthpiece is held in the weaver's mouth, and a separate no clamp is used to close the nostrils which means that the wearer breathes through his mouth. The mouthpiece respirator may be held ready for instant use by being sus pended on the chest by means of a neck band passing around the wearer's neck, by attachment to the wearer's hell by means of a clip or a carrying pouch, or by being car-, ried in a jiockct of the wearer's garments. The air-purifying mouthpiece respirator may he used for utcmmUut respiratory protection against low concentrations of air contaminants for short periods of time throughout the workday whenever the work area becomes contaminated with low con centrations of noxious contaminants.

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 lie left in place until the canister is attached to the gas mask. After a etluisler with a mechanical timer is secured to a gas mask, it must be replaced as soon as the mechanical timer indicates that it has hpen in use for the intended service life,1 even though it has never been exposed to a hazardous atmosphere. After a canister containing a built-in window panel inilicator is attached to a gas mask, it iniisl he re placed whenever the substance behind the window changes color, even lliongo the canister may never have been applied in a coiuamiuatcd atmosphere.

Use of Airline Respirators A source of compressed air, a compres sor or a lank, is used to supply respirable air through a small diameter hose to Hie wearer of an airline respirator. Using this source of breathing air makes the wearer independent of the surrounding atmosphere. However, this dependence upon an external source of air which is not carried by Hie nearer means that there arc definite liinitalioiis in regard In the use of an airline respirator. There arc three imxlcs of air How for airline respirators: roiilimnnis; demand; and pressure-demand. The continuous llovr airline respirator supplies air to the respira tory inlet covering coiilimiously even when the wearer exhales. The demand How air line respirator supplies air to the respiratory inlet covering only when the wearer inhales, s The pressure-demand How airline respirator < supplies air to the respiratory inlet covering until a predetermined air pressure is estab lished in the respiratory inlet covering, and 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.

The Bureau approves . respirators equipped with suitable ISSjKjWP lory inlet coverings that protect llic head and neck against impact and abrasion of rebounding particulate occurring in shot or sand blasting operations. These airline respirators arc known as abrasive blasting respirators. The Bureau will not approve an airline respirator with a respiratory inlet covering wliicli lias a direct nioulb or nose connection. The Bureau docs not approve an airline respirator which utilizes a complete air-supplied suit. Approved airline respirators may use up to 250 feet of small diameter air-supply Iiiisc. An approved vouiinuoiis flow airline respirator must supply a flow of air not less Ilian 115 liters (lour cubic feet) per minute to tigbt-fitling and not less Ilian 170 liters (six cubic feet) per minute to loose- fitting respiratory inlet coverings through a maximum approved length of air-supply hose at the iiiiuiinum approved specified air-supply pressure. An approved continuous flow airline respirator must supply a flow of air not to exceed d25 liters (15 cubic (eel) per minute to either a loose-fitting or a light-fitting respiratory inlet covering through a minimum approved length of air- supply hose at the maximum approved specified air-supply pressure. Airline respirators arc approved by the Bureau for use in atmospheres containing airborne particulate, vapors, ami gases that are nut iiiimcdiahly dangerous to life or health or from which the wearer eotild (scape without the aid of the respirator. The reason for this liiuilalinii is that the respirator wearer is dependent upon an ex ternal sourre of respirable air whirli is subject to failure under some conditions such as accidental slopping of a compres sor, depletion of compressed air in a tank, or accidental rupture of the air-supply hose. However, the Bureau now' approves a com bination airline respirator with an auxiliary self-contained air supply earned by the nearer for protection in atmospheres im mediately hazardous to life or health, in cluding an atmosphere with a deficiency of oxygen.

It is not possible to list (lie detailed procedures here. Respirator users arc urged to refer to the publication for iustnictiiuis. 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 lisleil. Most airline respirators arc light in weight, com fortable to wear compared to oilier types of respirators, offer little or no resistanre to breathing, and the llm of air to the respiratory inlet coveting usually provides a cooling and refreshing effect An aiilinc respirator may be worn for long periods of time without appreciable discomfort for prolonged work in haznidnus atmosphere A major disadvantage of tin- aiitiiic lespirator is the trailing air-supply hose, wliicli finiifs the travel of the wearer.

Also, precautions should be taken to protect the Imse against damage such as cutting, crushing, or burning. An armored Imse may be necessary under some conditions. Prior to using an airline respira tor, the user should always examine the air-supply Imse for defects and lest it for blockage.

An air storage receiver of stiificiciit capacity to allow the airline respirator wearer to escape from the contaminated area in cast of compressor failure is recommended for use with the compressor. If |Hissihlc, an air compressor separate from that used to suplily compressed air for industrial cipiipmeut is recommended for supplying air to airline respirators. This should he 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 lie incompalildc with couplings for other gas systems, lo prevent accidental connection of airline respirators with sources of nou-rcspirahle gases or oxygen.

It should lie assured that the area where the blower or terminal end of tlic air-supply hose is lurutcd contains clean respirable air. The operation of the blower should lie tested. The terminal of the air-supply hose of the respirator without blower should be firmly anchored to a fixed jxiint. The air supply hose should he cheeked for defects and blockage. Hose connections should lie in spected to insure that they arc tight. Check for foreign matter in the hose and blower by operating the blower for a few minutes. Foreign matter may be eliminated by oper ating the blower at high speed for several minutes. Fnirigit matter in (lie liosc of a respirator wdllumt blower may he cheeked and eliminated by blowing clean, com pressed air through the hose. Inspect (lie life line to insure that it is in good condi tion and fastened securely to the harness. When the liosc mask is being used, precau tions must be taken to insure that the airsupply liosc is not damaged and that the air supplied to the respirator is not con taminated by the exhaust from vehicles or .any process. Use o f Self-Contained Breathing sipparatus A self-contained breathing apparatus is a respirator which employs a sell-contained supply of air, oxygen, or oxygen-generating material carried hy the wearer to provide him with n respirable atmosphere. All stllcoiilaiued breathing apparatus oilers respira tory piiiteeliuu to the user against irrcspiraIdc vapors, gases, particulates, or combina tions thereof, in any concentration and against any degree of oxygen deficiency. Self-contained breathing apparatus may be classified by design into the following classes and sub-classes: ( 1) closed-circuit (using oxygen only) -- Compressed oxygen type; Liquid oxygen type; Oxygen-generating type; (2 ) open-circuit (using compressed 000744 f'eu'/rr /wir/dinu s .ii or liquified air or oxygen) Pressure-demand type. fftVtl ?tjiJ!; l'fiii Self-contained breathing may be classified according to use: ( I ) for entry into or escape from oxygen detiiunt alinos|ilicrc or irreparable v:i|iois, gases, and panicill.lies; (2 ) for escape only from oxygen deficient atmospheres or irrespirablc va|>ors, gases, and particulates. The II. S. lliircau id Mines tests and approves the various types of self-contained breathing apparatus.17 The lluieau approves these devices for the periods of lime that they will provide respiratory protection when the wearer is engaged ill iiinderale work activities. Only apparatus classified (or fifteen miiuitcs or longer service life is approved for entry into and escape from a hazardous atmosphere. Only apparatus classified for thirty minutes or less service life is approved for self-rescue from a haz ardous atmosphere. Apparatus classified for a service life less than one hour is not approved for use in underground mining, tunneling, and similar operations except as auxiliary erpiipmrut, which means (hat the weaver lias ready access to fresh air and at least one crew of five or six men equipped with a p p ro v e d self-contained breathing apparatus preferably of two hours or longer service life is in reserve in an area of fresh air. Apparatus classified for a service life less than thirty minutes is not approved as auxiliary ctpiipinriit. A coinhinaliou srlf-roiilaiiieil breathing apparatus for self-rescue having a service life of there or ten minutes and an airline respirator is approved for entry into a hazardous atmosphere providing that entry is made using the air supply of tin- airline portion of the device. A roinhuinliini selfcontained breathing apparatus for selfrescue having a service life of fifteen or thirty minutes is approved for entry into a hazardous atmosphere, proving that entry is made using the air supply of the airline portion of the device, or providing that not more Ilian twenty per cent of the the availaide sclf-coulniued air supply is used for entry.

Tlic small positive pres sure is obtained by means of a spring- loaded or balanced demand regulator and a balanced exhalation valve. Iloth types of devices, except those used for self-rescue, employ a band operated bypass system to permit the wearer to breathe if the demand valve tails. , Self-contained breathing apparatus usual ly employ a full faeepieee but sometimes a mouthpiece and nose dip ate used. Ap paratus using compressed or liquified air or oxygen, except those used for self-rescue, contain a gage visible to (be 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 nidiralui or Naming device is used by apparatus nlilmtif' compressed air or oxygen, except those employed for selfrescue. The U. S. Ilurcau of Mines states that a self contained breathing apparatus is ap proved only if it supplies respirable breath ing gas to the wearer.17 Oxygen, both as a compressed gas and as a quid, must meet the requirements of the United -Slates Pharnmcopcia for medical or breathing oxygen.,H Compressed am iimsl meet the most recent requirements of the Compressed (>as Association Commodity Specification for Air, (-7.1, Type II, (hade l>, liquid air.13 The breathing atmosphere supplied by the apparatus should never contain less than 20.5 per cent by volume of oxygen. The self'Contained breathing apparatus has no limitation in regard to 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 and in any condition of oxygen deficiency. Since (lie wearer carries bis own supply of respirable atmosphere witfi him, he is independent 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 length of lime that a ue.iiii can icuiam in a contaminated area depends upon the amount of air or oxygen or oxygen-generating material in the apparatus and the activity of the wearer. The service life ratings of the devices should he used only as guides. The chief limitations of self-contained breathing apparatus arc high weight, bulki ness, limited service life, and the need for a high degree of training for both safe use and maintenance. The self-contained breathing apparatus provides only respira tory protection Contaminants that arc irri tating or corrosive to (lie skin or which readily penetrate the skin and arc absorbed he the blood of the circulatory system of the bmly require the use of proper pro tective clothing in addition to the wearing of the apparatus. Open circuit type self-contained breathing apparatus are considered to lie relatively inefficient when compared with (he closedcircuit type unit since the open-circuit unit releases exhaled oxygen to the atmosphere instead of being reused. The breathing atmosphere supplied to wearer hy 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 demand-type self-contained breathing apparatus produces a negative pressure in I 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 even during inhalation, which prevents inward leakage of contaminants into the facepiece. I bc ambient atmospheric pressure affects the service life of open-circuit type selfcontained breathing apparatus. Increased ambient atmospheric pressures mean reduced service lives. Doubling the ambient atmos pheric pressure nits the service life in half. Oxygen should never be Used hi selfcontained breathing apparatus that have pre viously employed air. The air might have contained a low concentration of oil. When oxygen contacts oil, an explosion or fire could nrcur. Partly used cylinders or contamers of compressed air or oxygen of liquified air or oxygen should not be kept for reuse.

A week Intel I received a response letter indicating that no safely and licaltli violations were found. 1 sub sequently found out that the inspector who visited the plant went to school with the superintendent of the department that f asked to have inspected. So, I went hack to the chief of the division and said that I still had the same complaint and wanted it checked out further. He hesitated quite a while and Anally agreed to send out another inspector to accompany the previous inspec tor. The two inspectors telephoned and made an appointment to make an inspect ion, and subsequently did. Again, I received a letter iiulicaling that there were no violations 11mull, i realised that (lie problem w.is still existing, so 1 went hack to Columbus and again talked to the chief of the division. 1 inioniuJ him that 1 was tired of, gelling the rim mound, and that I had proof from past court cases that this type of qn operation is hazardous. I asked that lie himself come to the plant and meet with us, relative to this problem. He finally did call me and set up an appointment for the meeting. This time, management, the chief ot the .State division, and myself inspected, the work areas under question. He went hack to OFFICERS OF THE Columbus and wrote me a real nice Idler riding the feme and not being committed in LABOR CONFERENCE any way.

Tbc information they; arc supplying is a correlation between carg j size and damage areas lor a given cargo. The contract with the Bureau of Mines investigates the behavior of licpicficd gases, Mich as nitrogen, lirpieficd natural gas, and chlorine, in water. They arc investigating sodden, m.i' ice iclcuscs of these !i.|tiids. While their >.k is still tar from complete, it appears that liquefied natural gas forms a lattice with the ice. This ice results from the heat of evaporation absorbed front the surrounding water by the I.NO. I \>v n/ lla:anl Evaluation Hazard evaluation permeates all phases of the Coast Guard's hazardous materials work on liotli a national and international scale. For instance, the NAS hazard evaluation system has provided basic guidance in the development of major new U.S. regula tions for hulk dangerous cargo barges (i.c., "Suhehaplcr O ") and in U.S. participation in the development of international stamlaids through 1MCO ( Intergovernmental Mari time Consultative Organization). Overall lulbi-.-s for a cargo are Used to guide deci sions on whether it has uueoiivciition.il hazards and warrants special precautions in transportation. Selected ratings arc used to guide detailed derisions. For instance, if the cargo has high hazard ratings for health as a poison or vapor irritant, closed gaging and venting of tanks is required for liquids. If the cargo has a high hazard rating for water pollution ns a human toxicant, a double skin tank is required to minimize accidental release to the waterway. Another example of using hazard evalua tion is the application of the previously dis cussed compatibility cliail. The hazards as sociated with compatibility are, in the main, evolution of heat am! gas and evolution of dangerous products. Cargoes may have to he separated from each oilier, ui (tom the water If a reactivity problem is present. Aecuidingly, a double sl-iu lank i l required where llic cargo reacts il.ingcimisly with the water. A mm reactive cargo, a eolfcrdam, or void is required around cargoes that react with other cargoes. Separate and independent cargo piping and pressure re lieving lines are also required for tanks ear n in g reactive cargoes. Inert padding is required for cargoes that react with air. The results of massive cargo spill studies, mentioned earlier, will provide a hazard evaluation technique for guiding decisions on ship and barge design and operation requirements. The studies arc already pro viding a better tmdcrslnudiug of traiispuilnlion hazards; i.c., "hazard evaluation.'' Two tilings should lie noted about any hazard evaluation system and ratings men tioned in this paper. First, they arc guides to regulatory decision making, ami not rigid rules. Second, and as a corollary, other in formation is used whenever available to sup plement or over-ride ratings. Tims, there is a real distinction between classification of hazardous materials and evaluation of their hazards. C n n chtsions Hazard evaluation is an approach to transportation safety rather than a rigid system for correlating commodity properties with compensatory designs and procedures -- at least, at this lime. Modern hulk haz ardous materials present complex hazards In operating personnel and the public in trans portation, and with rapidly changing ship ping technology and safely standards there ire no simple rules to follow. However, the Coast Guard, in its regulatory approach to water transporta lion, has pioneered in the type of thinking that will provide comprehensiveness and consistency in future regulation of hazardous materials shipments by any fBHQMfork is-'fttfein an- early stagr hut, hoijw M S ft will" provide a fra mework-1 for adxHBBBH of an extremely importa'iitransc--TraXaSortaiini] safety. % 000758 O. /CERS OF TH E MARINE SECTION NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1969-70 (ennui Cliiiiuiinn -John I..

AND FUME RESPIRATORS & UNITED STATES BUREAU OF MINES SCHEDULE NO. 21B By R. H. MOULTON Respirator P roduct Mgr., American Optical Co., Southbridge, Mass. In 24 units ni winking with the mechanics of respirators, it snins licit those people in safety who know and understand respirators twist arc those who know ami understand the United Stales Uuveau of Mines test ami approval schedules best. Ami so il is that we lake a look at (lie very latest Schedule No. 2111 covering Dust, Mist, and Initnc Respirators. First, though, wlial is a respirator? My favorilc definition is *'A respirator is a de vice designed lo make inhaled air respir able." Ami when you think hunt it, that statement covers a imdlilmle of products in the respirator held. There are three major classes of respirators: alntosphere - supply ing respirators; air-purifying respirators; and combination. atmosphere-supplying ami air-purifying respirators. These break down into six basic types of respirators: 1. Mechanical filler Ijjk; for dusts, mists and fumes. (IJM 2111) 2. Chemical cartridge type for vapors and gases. (DM 2.1B) 3. (as masks. (IIM 111') 4- Airline respirators. (ISM 1911) 5. Self contained demand type. (IIM I.IK) (k Self-generating oxygen breathing type. (IIM UK) Along with these six, we now litid ap pearing on the market a new filler'-blower liatlery powered respirator that may soon appear in quantity. If the filler-blower respi rator is submilted to (lie Jhireau of Mines, it would be eligible for testing and approval tinder Schedule 21H, and mavbc under other schedules, loo, in the future. 'I'lie U. S Ihircati of Mines led and ap proval schedules originated on the following dates: Schedule No. 13-- March 5, 1919; ;Schedule No M -- May 2 2 , 1919; Schedule ` No. 19-- Aptil 2K, 1927; Schedule No. 21 -- August 20, 1931; Schedule-No. 2 3 -- Noveincr 13, 1911. 'flic Ihircati is part of the l)epartmeiit ol Interior, and their work on Cqtltpim lit to piMircl liooeis is welt known in the safely held. The lest mid appno.tl schedules * they have developed cotriun; ci|uijumiit for luiucrs and others have n suited in extremely hip.h (nalit v men ham h- and ci|uipment (.ring available loi Mtiiimi operations.

Today, the seal of the United Slater llureaii of Mines on respirator approval la bels is one of the most respected throughout the many industries of America. Without Ihncaii of Mines approvals, a respiialoi manufacturer simply isn't in the respiialoi business. To design, develop, lest, and in.uin faeliire respirators with the aim of obtain mg ihircati of Mines approval takes a lot of time, people of special skills, and a lot tunc in lalMnatory equipment A tVvmeinbm . amount of research goes into the d e v e l o p incut of respiratory eipiipmeiit in nidi get approved units on tin* maikel loi th< t oiisiiuier.

I low ever, the lotighrd ool to eial. t what we call worker acceptance -- tumlm t Is it easy to hrcalhe llimugli that tequtu tor? This matter of breathing redd.one is often n*t wvit understood: How uuin times have \>m tailed in voiir efforts to blow up a small rubber b.illoon dmpit bei au t vu do iml have tin deir:lh l<* e\pcl air inl>< I W J A'li/i.-n.ii Y w /c/y C u itt/ it s s the balloon wi111 enough pressure to make it cxpaial ? Yet, you may take a small piece of dial eery 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. VVliat this means, you see, is that we expel air from our lungs by relaxing our rib cage muscles and our diaphragm. We inhale by muscular expansion of the rili rage and lowering of the diaphragm. To slate it very pimply, we arc weaklings at exhaling and <|\iitc slrottg at inhaling. The Hurcau of Mines fakes this into account in establishing maximum values for lintli inhalation and exhalation, resistance of respirators. In the new Iturcnu of Mines Schedule No. 2111, there are scp-crnl new resistance requirements for respirptors, and these will lie reviewed in this paper. lint now, let's look at some of the approvals that arc available undci this new Schedule No. 2111. There are, as i see it, at least IJ approvals available under Schedule No. 2111 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 Tf.V not less than 0 1 milligram per cubic meter; (a) singleuse filler; (b) reusable filter. A few of the old-timers in the respirator area might not recognize this one as the Type "T" approval lor toxic dusts of many years ago. Later nil, it became the approval for toxic dusts not significantly mure loxic Ilian lead. You will nolo that Unlay we no longer talk about MAC, nr maximum allowable concent rations, but wurk now with TLV, which stands for threshold limit value. So, today, your Bureau nl Mines approval will be given on "loxie dusts having a TI.V not less than 0.1 milli gram per cubic meter." It is still possible to get this approval oil single-use filters commonly known as the tlirotv-auay type, and the approval is still available on a retiscablc filter, or, in oilier words, a filter that may lie used and, after it lias become plugged with particulate, may he cleaned by compressed air or oilier means and used again and again. It is first tested, cleaned, tested, cleaned a second lime, and then tested for the third time. Today, we find the single use filler or the disposal throw-away type oiitnmnbrriog the miscahlc fillers by a luigc margin. 2. For dusts having a TI.V not less Ilian 2.1 million particles per euliic foot: (a) sin gle-use filler; (b) reusable tiller. This ap proval you might recognize as the old Type "A" approval for dusts such as silira. It is also referred to as the pneumoconiosis producing dusts plus nuisance dusts approval. Today, the Bureau of Mines approval label will list pneumoconiosis-producing dusts as well as dusts having a TI.V not less than 2.-1 million particles per cubic foot anil, again, we have (lie approvals for the single use filter and the reusable fillers. 3. loir dusls having a TLV uu| less than 0.1 inilligrani per cubic meter or 2.4 million particles per euliic foot; (a) single-use filter; (li) reusable filler. Many years ago, this was called the "AD" or all dust approval for silica and lead type dusts. Later on. it became an approval for dusts and still later it became approval for dusts not sig uilieautly more toxic Ilian lead. Today, the approval label reads, "For dusts and also for dusts having a TI.V not less than 0.1 milli gram per cubic meter or 2 1 million par ticles per cubic foot," with approvals avail able on either the single use or reusable fillers. 4. Fumes of various metals having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cubic meter. Originally, this metal fume approval was for fumes consisting of solid dispersoids or particulate matter formed by the condensa tion of vapors such as those of heated metal and other substances. Later, the words ``uni significantly more loxie than lead" were added. Today, the approval label lists "fiinici of various metals having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cubic iiiclcr." 5. Dusts having a TI.V not less than 01 inilligrani per euliic meter or 2.1 million partides per cubic foot, and fumes of various m e t a l s having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cubic meter. This type ol approval covers dusts such as lead, dusts such as silica, and metal fumes such as lead 0. Mists of materials having a TI.V mil less than 0.1 milligram per euliic meter. This approval you should recognize as lire ap proval for chromic acid mist respirators. 7. Mists of materials having a Tf.V mil less Ilian 2.4 million particles per culm foot. This approval covers the pnctimocoiii sis-produeuig mists such as silica mist. 0007(: 8. Mists of materials having less than 0.1 milligram ]icr cubi$gffi4|ttr*4>r 2.4 million particles per cubic BWStf'TTils" type of approval woultl cover both chromic acid mist respirators ami silica type mists respirators. 4 9. Dusts ami mists of materials having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cubic meter or 2.4 million particles per cubic foot. This is the most common type of respirator approval and is commonly referred to as "the dust and mist approval/' It actually is four approvals in one, since it covers lead type dusts, silica type dusts, chromic acid mist, and silica type mists. 10. Dusts and mists of materials having a TLV not less than 0.1 milligram per cuhic meter or 2.4 million particles per mine foot, and fumes of metals having a TLV not less tliaii 0.1 milligram per cuhic meter. This is another common approval covering respira tors for lead ty|<c dusts, silica type dusts, chromic acid mist, silica type mist, ami metal fumes such as lead fume. Most metal fume respirators arc also approved for dusts and mists and, therefore, are in this tenth category. 11. Dusts, fumes and mists, having a TLV less than 0.1 milligram per cubic meter, or for radio-nuclides. This type of approval first appeared in March of 1965. It covers highly toxic dusts, fumes, and mists plus radioactive particulate in the form of dust, fume, or mist. 12. Radon daughters and radon daughters attached to dusts, fumes, and mists. This is a brand new approval covering radon daugh ters and these radon daughters when at tached to particulate such as dusts, fumes, ami mists. It is expected that approved units will soon appear mi the marhvt for use in surli places as iiiaiiiiiin mines. Uranium and other heavy metals such as thorium and ra dium, which arc radioactive, disintegrate, ami one of the products of disintegration is a radioactive gas called radon. Radon gas disintegrates into radioactive metal atoms which in turn disintegrate into other radio active metal atoms until finally a iiou-radio- activc stable lead atom is formed. All of these disintegration products arc called radon laughters. Sonic radon daughters will re main suspended in the air as individual radioactive atoms while most will attach themselves to inert dust, mist, or fume par- tides in the air. 13: AIf: dusts, [iidjt'k. a |d mists. .This ap proval really cuvJjij' tfij Jaalcrfront. It up plies to: silica lypcdtftw , lead type d u s ts , silica type mists, chromic acid mist, iucl.it fumes such ns load, highly toxic dusts, mists ami fumes unhiding radioaetivc dusts, mists anil fumes. With these l.l picvioiisly listed potential approvals, it is important to make note of the fact that there is provision in Schedule 2111 for testing very complicated units, extending approvals of previous ap proved respirators, or other testing dial might he rci|tics(cd of If10 Jlincau of Mines. This keeps the door open for approvals of devices that may yet he invented ami that would not he covered in the previous 1.1 cate gories. Iteforc discussing the actual tests in Schedule 21II, we should review the materials used and the size of flic particulate involved. A yardstill; is needed to give us an idea of just what we are ivoil.ing witli in the respirator laboratories.

In the new respirator ruling lest involving coal dust, the coal dust is about 10 limes smaller than can he seen with the naked eye. Isoamyl-acctale vapors 'are used for hltiiig tests on certain respirators. The materials for testing arc placed in test chambers for ctlicicncy tests, with many pieces of c<|iiipntciu such a,s air pumps, precipitators, and monitoring equipment be ing used during the actual conducting of the lest. n A review of the 21II lest icqiiireiiirnls will point out to you several .'new changes in the Incalliiiig resistance 1Kqiiimoenls suin' there are now liinilatiuns1mi the initial resistance lo iiilialalioii at 85 liters per iiiin- iitc ami several adjustments have lircii made ill the allowable exhalation resistance at 05 liters per minute. All of these new require- mcnls will result in respirators heing de veloped that arc very comforlahic to the worker as far as ease of breathing is con cerned. There arc, however, new tests involved for respirators, and some of them could become controversial since it appears that it might lie necessary for iiiaiiiiiacliucrs of respirators to make face masks much larger Ilian those that workers ale familiar with, and there is a tendency lor workers not lo accept face masks that are rather large in design. Perhaps inodeni day technology will allow respirators lo lie enlistrncted that will meet all of these new rcuoirciiieiits and still meet the very impnrl.iot uorkee accept ance roqiureiiHiils. I'ollowiiig are some of the special tests required of various dost, inisl and fume respiralors: l. Dost, Mist and 1*nine Respirator Facc- piece Pressure-Tightness Test.

However, no mask, at the time of writing this article, has been approved by the United States Bureau of Mines for pro tecting against radionuclides in a concen tration from 100 to 1,000 limes the TLV. Although the Uraiiinc Chamber Test is in Schedule 21B, it is no lunger used by the Bureau of Mines or most manufacturers since uranine contaminate? the laboratory and the equipment, making.il almost impos sible to get accurate test results. A review of all of the previously described 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 rcvicu'cd them and you bare 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 (ptalily con trol for all components during manufactur ing. a sales and distribution setup, and yon arc set to do business. It is important to note that the Unitcil Stales Bureau of Mines docs not condom anything that is improper in any category involving an approved respirator, and lltii is as it should be. A look into the laboratory of a well cipiipiled manufacturer of respirators wouU provide you with a view of a dust chamber or metal funic chamber that duplicates thost nf the United Slates Bureau of Mines i I'ittslmrgb, Pennsylvania.

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 arc more than 900 occupational exposures to toxic substances and conditions that may impair the health of thb worker. Among the more important of these toxic substances arc 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 areas; institution of controls to bring condi tions within known established tolerable levels. New and untried substances must be studied for their clfect before they can be put into production by the worker. Incidence of infection may also be re duced through close analysis of the physical condition of employees placed in potentially harmful industrial environments. About 70 per cent of occupational disease conditions are dermatosis, lly early diagnosis, treat ment, and institution of protective measures, the majority of these conditions can be pre vented and the physical discomfort and com pensation expenses can be eliminated. Strict supervision of the industrial en vironment by attention lo proper heating, lighting, ventilation, sanitation, and elimina tion of excessive noise -- all are essential for healthy working conditions and high morale. Management today has come to real ize that employees are social beings, not economic pawns. They live at their work, and the better the working environment, the belter their production and loss prevention record. Safety-Loss Prevention.
