SAFE PRACTICES AND HEALTH PRACTICES PAMPHLETS M | - -X IMPORTANT This is an index to the subjects treated in the Safe Practices, Special Industries and Health Practices Pamphlets. 1. Safe Practices Pamphlets are referred to by number O N LY ; Special Industries Pamphlets by an abbreviation of the industry name; example-- "Ru" for the Rubber Industry, and Health Practices Pamphlets by the prefix H.P. 2. Heavy face type indicates that the pamphlet treats the subject in detail; light face type that it contains less complete information. 3. Specific chemicals, gases, fumes, etc. are indexed under individual names, not under general subjects; example-- A ce tone, Hydrogen, Cyanamid, etc. 4. Combinations of letter and numerical symbols in subject headings indicate names of chemical and commercial com pounds used in various industries. 5. For numerical list of pamphlets see last two pages of index. INDEX TO SAFE PRACTICES AND HEALTH PRACTICES PAMPHLETS Heavy- face typS 4ndieates*an entire -pflinphlet on the-subject.-Lightface type indicates a, brief reference to the subject in the pamphlet.
