Sinai the outstanding work of Drs Tabershaw Cooper and Balzer on the West Coast medical and engineering scientific research in which the manufacturers are improvements made by many participating an ~ td he individual contractors especially in your fabrication shops Perhaps some of you have not seen the direct results of these programs The reason is that they are only now beginning to produce visible results In the very near future you will see improved dust masks dust collection equipment new products and product packaging identification of specific job site health problem areas by which you can pinpoint control requirements and advantages of physical examina- tion programs The question of whether there really is a serious health problem in the insulation industry has arisen several times during this week Please let me add to what has already been said and assure you that a problem does exist it is one that is serious but not impossible to solve Remember that any material can be handled safely and any job done safely if proper equipment methods and precautions are taken Batteries paints and other containing materials are manufactured with practically no cases of lead poisoning to workers The petroleum industry manufacturing and distributing gasoline benzene naptha and other highly flammable materials have reduced injury occurrences to a minimum Between the con- tractors the union and the manufacturers in our insulation industry we have all the essential factors brains brawn and drive to get this injury prevention job done Others who have minimized their problems 5 were in no different position than we are They had to stay competitive they had insurance companies and government agencies breathing down their necks they had public criticism They also had a determination to do something about it and so have we otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it today There is an urgent need for NICA NIMA the Union to accelerate our efforts Some of the and im- mediate steps that we should be taking are 1. Conduct industrial hygiene engineering surveys to identify typical jobs and operations that pro- duce dust and present a health risk 2. Assign priorities for correction in accordance with the health risk taking into consideration the extent and duration of potential exposure 3. Correct the conditions as quickly as possible Give consideration to engineering control de- velopment of new job methods and improved work practices in order to accomplish results Certainly this will require the introduction of new ideas and changes but that's the reason it needs to be a cooperative program with every- one willing to give it a try 4. Establish industry standards for good housekeeping Make everyone aware of them so there are no misunderstandings as to how good good housekeeping is Solicit agreement to put them into effect Institute a follow regular reminder that this is an agreed industry program A respiratory protection program is essential Not a volunteer programi nor one that requires wearing face masks in exposure areas but a program designed to assure the wearing of respirators in areas above the allowable dust limits These areas should be designated by the industrial hygiene engineering surveys Sure there will be areas that vary in exposure levels from time to time but these can be defined If there is a doubt wear the respirator Wearing difficult a respirator is to see. and not comfortable It's hot difficult to breathe It therefore requires a damn good reason for a man to want or even agree to wear one Tell him the reason why it's important to him Pro- Write or Call for information Moisture and Vapor Barrier Compounds Protects insulation corrosive retardant Monsanto Lion Oil Building El Dorado Arkansas 71730 vide him with the facts concerning potential health risks Encourage his cooperation A respirator worn around the worker's neck when in exposure areas might as well not have been furnished 6. Establish a periodic physical examination pro- gram especially chest rays and pulmonary evaluation employment trade examinations of young people entering the trade through the apprentice program or however they begin to work should be done This is necessary in order to eliminate aggravation to existing pulmonary problems that might cause further serious and even irreversible injury and disability Other impairments such as cardiac or circulatory dis- orders should be detected to avoid serious or fatal injuries especially where climbing and scaffolding work is a job requirement Physical examinations will be an assel to the older workers especially those who have a physical impairment They will be knowledgeable of their condition and more receptive to taking special precautions You can also help their situation by special precautions such as per- sonal protective equipment and job placement Physical examination programs are necessary in order that you have knowledge of the effec- tiveness of your injury prevention controls We know that there is a direct relationship between extent of dust exposure and disease occurrence Reduce the dust and you reduce the disease occurrence In order to really know the effectiveness of controls you must know what is happening to the people who are exposed 7. Consider a safety program and safety contest within the insulation industry Make it interest- ing and accident worthwhile occurrence to all involved Exchange and investigation informa- tion to avoid recurrences Exchange safety ideas that will prevent accidents cidents that cause no injury Don't overlook acbut cause extensive equipment and material damage Remember that determining the cause of the accident is the most important factor The seriousness of the injury is a product The difference between il minor and serious injury can be a matter of a split second fraction of an inch sheer luck Fliminate the eairse and you eliminate the injury I've spent a lot of time making recommendatiorecomnendastions as to what needs to be done Let me tell you how we in NIMA can and will help you If you as individual contractors have a problem in the areas which I have been discussing that you cannot solve bring it to the attention of your NICA Health and Safety Committee They will provide assistance where possible If however they need additional help they will contact NIMA and we will try NICA OUTLOOK NIMA'S REPORT ON HEALTH AND SAFETY to provid" the discussed this necessary services to procedure in some assist you I detail with have Don Bradshaw and Ted Brodie We stand ready to pro- vide NICA with assistance when needed I would like to make one more suggestion That is that NICA utilize its Health and Safety efforts and money toward identification of job site hazards climinating the basic cause of those hazards providing education instruction and equipment to prevent in- juries and initiate physical examination programs The manufacturers will continue to conduct med- ical and engineering scientific research on insulation materials It would be needless waste for NICA to duplicate this effort Improved communications will provide NICA members with information concerning the progress of the manufacturers research work and other studies being conducted throughout the world Some of the research studies currently underway in which the manufacturing companies are participating are 1. 2.

Adjourn * WORKING FOR YOU AND THE INDUSTRY **** TRADE SHOW In order to help you derive as much benefit as possible from the exhibits here is some good advice 1. Use your official program Check off the names of exhibitors and booth numbers that you definitely want to visit 2. Ask exhibitors are seldom able to display all their products and services 3. Take a notebook and pencil with you to jot down any information you want to remember 4. Look over the exhibitors literature collect only what will really be helpful to you 5. Take the time to tour the entire show area home 6. When you get review the material file important brochures where find them again when you need them and toss out the rest you7. Make up a report on new lines products etc. for those in your who organization did not attend the Convention 8.
