Benson Staff "At the last Conference I repo ted that one of our staff men, Harry Johnson, vas seriously 111 and confine to a hospital. In April, he passed sway, leaving all those who had beer associated With him saddened...: During his Illness, Joe Van Sickle vho had been added'to the staff early in the year, filled the assignments that Harry Johnson bad handled. Nov these duties as staff representative to the Automotive and Machine Shop Section and the Electrical Equipment Section have been officially assigned to Mr. Van Sickle. We bad hoped that we vou'd have an additional man on the staff at this time, but ve have not as yet been successful. On October 1, Hugh McCahey, Director of the Associations Division, resigned to take a position with the Association Division of the United States Chamber of Commerce. We vere pleased that Mr. McCahey, In the short time he had been associated with trade associations had made such a favorable impression that he received this national challenge but a ^ i n this personal recognition left us wanting. In order to continue the effective vork that had been imitated during the year, It vas necessary to take Mr. Paul Sheppard, away from his Important Off-The-Job Program and assign him to the Association Directorship. In his vork vlth the Public Utilities Section Mr. Sheppard has proven his ability to vork vlth Associations. I am certain the Asrociation Program vlll progress rapidly under his direction. The Off-The-Job Division that Mr. Sheppard directed baa new been assigned to Mr. Robert Belknap. Mr. Belknap vlll relinquish one of his Sections so he can devote more time to this program. One of his first dirties vlll be to vork vlth the Greater Nev fork Safety Conference on the one-day Off-The-Job Conference In November. This means that ve are now short two engineers in accordance with our approved "manning" table. Congress Program This la the first, year that the Industrial Conference and the department faced the problem of running the entire Industrial portion of the Congress Program. The plmis whereby the one mnn from the Executive Camnittee of the Industrial Conference and one more from the Industrial staff took on the responsibility for one Subject Session lias worked well. Deadlines have been met and I believe ve have a challenging series of subject sessions. Che of the objectives was to secure speakers out3lde the safety field and I believe this has been accomplished. With the close liaison between staff and Conference we could and did handle emergencies. Let me cite an example! Early In October wo received void that our speaker on Vloual Aids had been taken to the hospital and would not be available for the Congress. This vus not a paper tjiat could be read by another - but ti two-hour demonstration. It would hnve been difficult for anyone but a staff man to devote enough time to seek out it substitute. However, A1 Baltzer with the aid of Lcn Smith our Training Director, secured the services of Dr. Phil Lewis who conducts a Visual Aids Course on Chicago's Educational Television 3tation to fill tie gap. I believe wo should continue with the plan of having one person from r.ho Conference and one person from the staff work on each Subject Seoslon, we also had a staff coordinator and next year we will also have a Confoivnou Chairman to oversee Subject Sessions. The problem of Ccngrcas Improvement should be one of continued concern. Although we are now anticipating the 1902 SeBSlona, thought must be given to At this Congress we want to obtain Information from those at tending that will help us with our future plnnn. Each Section will be asked to surv ;y the audience at one of their largest attended meetings. This will be a simple card survey similar to the ones we have conducted by mall. However, we exp.' -t that we will get two or three times the number of returns and consequently, have a much better simple. The second and more elaborate survey Is a face-to-face Interview that will be made by our engineers. Each of our men has been given a survey port folio and lias been asked to Interview at least ten attendees at this Congress. Questions range from number cf years Individuals have been attending the Congress to opinions on the Banquet. It 13 hoped that enough of this informa tion can be compiled and be available for the Congress Program Committee when It meets during the Congress week to make it useful to tliera in their deliberations. Training During the year the Safety Training Institute has maintained its established pattern. Classes huve averaged a little below capacity but there seems to be no lessening In Interest. The special Interest nessIons on Industry Hygiene and Radiation are gnlning favor and will definitely be continued. The Home Study Course lias been so well accepted by the memtiers 1 int. repeated staff adjustments, have been necessary to maintain the test, correct ion schedule. During the last year the Industrial staff corrected and recorded over 10,000 tests to keep up with the schedule for the more than 1,100 7 - active student level maintained over the same period. Sven during the Congress it Is necessary for the staff to correct tests to keep from falling behind. Case Histories A few years ago ve started collecting case histories on accidents from member companies. At the time,ve predicted a number of useful services that might result from this compilation. One of the best current urea made of this file has been the new edition of "Talk Topics." In this new safety booklet we use an actual member's experience case history and use It to develop discussion. Technical Publications The Technical Publications Comnlttee will report on the complete data sheet schedule but I should mention the special effort of the department to enhance the program. Early In the year It was decided that the July Issue of the NATIONAL SAFETY HEWS was to be a Fire Prevention leeus. A data Bheet on this thems was felt necessary. TLire, was no Sectional or A.S.8.S. projects on the subject In the 'offing" so It was decided that this would be s staff effort. The feet that the subject "Hot Work Peralta" lid not make the leadline was not because the staff man, Marshall Petersen, Old not meet the deadline, but because enough time wae not allowed for review. This year, the staff has again selected a data sheet for the special FIRE Issue end we have enough lead time to cdeplete the necessary i review. Federal Regulations Considerable time wee spent by the etafr in reviewing proposed sad promul gated Federal legislation. This has reaultad ,1a a hatter understanding by the entire staff as to the Council's position repenting Federal Regulations, We also believe that the various agencies of the Federal Oovercmant have approached proposed legislation with a better appreciation of the Council's position In Industrial accident prevention. In order to better appreciate the role of the States la Industrial accident prevention, an effort Is now being made to inventiry the State Programs. Since the recommendations of tha Conference on Federal Contractors Safety Regulations name the States as the repository for Industrial safety regula tion, a thorough understanding of the situation la necessary. Following understanding, assistance can be offered In thoee areas where It Is acceptable. NATIONAL SAFETY NEWS The Industrial staff continues to conduct the following important Sections of the NATIONAL SAFETY NEWS. Consultation Corner......... L. C. Smith Fire Tips.................. M, Petersen Ideas That Work...............A. S. Kelly Cfl-The-Job Safety.......... R. Belknap Safety Through Associations..,P. Sbepparc - 8 - Now that Robert. Belknap has taken over tb work cf the Off-The-Job Safety Program he will be concerned with this portion of the magazine. In the current October IsBue of the NEWS, twenty-seven pages of editorial material, Including space devoted to data sheets, were produced by the Induntrial Department, In addition, all of the articles are reviewed by the engineers for technical accuracy before publication. The majority of the books aDd pamphlets reviewed In the "Safety Library" column carry Industr'al Depart ment credits. Although most of the responsibility for admlnlei-rlng the Council's advertising policy has been assumed by the advertising promotion division, the Industrial staff Is still called upon to give technical opinion and can request that either offensive copy or Illustrations be altered to comply with recognized safety practices. The Industrial Department staff Is also called on to review art teles in other Council publications and materials where the engineering staff opinion la deemed necessary. Wm. H. Cameron Award Now that this award Is a reality and the first Sectional Committee recipient has been determined, the staff Is reviewing the rules to see how greater sectional participation can bo attained. It is felt that a simpler report ing system might he devised, and the etal'f Is working on a proposal for the Contests and Award Committee. Campaigns Two campaigns that were Section created and staff developed have proven successful as determined by member acceptance. The "Palls of Ground" Cam paign for Metal Mines lo completing the second half of the year-long effort. In the first six months the Mines completing reports showed a 39 Per cent reduction in injuries resulting from Rtl.ls of Ground. The "Hard. Hat" Cam paign continues to he accepted as a special emphasis program after more than a year of exposure. Off-The-Job During the year two Off-The-Job Conferences were scheduled, one In Chicago and the other In New fork. Both were two-day meetings and although greater attendance would have been welcomed the meetings must be considered successful from what was accompliabed. They proved that there was much interest in the subject and that there was much available Information to be disseminated. In November, the Becond Annual Off-The-Job Conference will be held In New York. Perhaps, the one-day session will provide the right pattern for similar meetings In other cities. In reviewing the work of the department, I find that most of the Jobs tliat are now being performed did not exist a few years ago. Many ore challenges that have been accepted over the years and continued because they Imve proven successful. - 9 - Liaison Reports from Other Conferences and. Program Area Farm A safety reconsaeovation la being prepared by the M u m Conference covering the use of power take-off shafts oa fare equipment. It will be given nationwide distribution to manufacturers,dealers and national publications. A seminar covering the trauma and problems surrounding the movement of farm machinery on the highway was held in October at the University of Iowa, leva City. The Kara Department, Rational Safety Council, wae one of the sponsors. Home As a result of interest expressed by the Some Conference of the Rational Safety Council end other organizations the National Fire Protection Association has organized a committee to develop a uniform fire repeating system to gather data on causes of fires, fire spread and toman reaction to fires.' Staff has now completed the final revision of the Surslng Home Safety Manual being developed under contract from the American Burning Home Asso- ciati ja. The BSC Bdltorlal Departaent ls Currently reviewing the naan- ecrlpt and aplatlng necessary lay-out and art work. It la anticipated tbit t b final product will be available for distribution by December 1. Tht Home Conference Training Ccmdttee is In the midst of developing a course guide for a basic course in borne safety. Current subscriptions to FAKILT BARIT magaslns have now exceeded 300,000. Increased utilization by Industry as part at their off-the-Job safety program accounts for a great share at this continued Increase In circulation. Labor Published a labor safety manual entitled "Safety Guide for Unions." This is a ShO-pags hard cover book pointed toward aaaisting uzd.cn safety per sonnel in on and off-the-Job safety programs. Labor Day Safety Campaign recognition certificates were earned by 65 unions for their outstanding participation. Field Service Seventy-five state and local organizations were reappraised for accredita tion by the Rational Safety Council. Bine orgudzations underwent Initial appraisal. Three additional orgardzations already have met performance standards for accreditation, and It Is estimated that six more will he accredited in October. - 10 - Motor Transport The booklet "Better Driving la Better Business" van distributed to 7,500 fleets in addition to the normal distribution of 2,200 copies under technical release mailings. Ttto thousand four hundred requests were re ceived following mention of the booklet In the Klpllnger Newsletter. Work Is underway and nearly completed on the new special emphasis pro gram, "Keep Your Distance" on front-end collisions, the fourth hook of "Five Minute Safety Talks for Driver Supervisors" and a special booklet for company fleet ear drivers. Public A Drowning Accident Report form has been developed and is being fieldtested in six local areas. A formal progress report will be Bade at a Public Safety program session4during the Congress. Baselines were established for the measurement of current and future per formance ou the Everyone Learn to Swim program. Research Metropolitan Life Awards for Research in Accident Prevention-- Seventy studies were submitted for the 1962 Awards, li> mare than in 1961. More than half of the studies dealt with traffic safety; seven were In the ar*u of industrial safety. The Award of Honor ($1,000.00) was earned by W. B. Kouwenboven for his research relating to electrical accidents, and titled "The Effects of Electric Currents on the Heart." Religious The Religious Safety Activities Survey of 270 Religious bodies indicates a variety of safety programs and projects -- seminars for clergy, special appeals during times of rising death rates, religious youth safety programs and projects, support of alcohol legislation, pastoral lettors, church fire safety, water safety, support of Christmas, farm safety week and labor Day campaigns. School and College A Joint Committee with the American Vocational Association Is developing a priority list for research in industrial education. The Conference is working to develop a program to be presented to the Industrial Conference early in 1963 on Driver Training needs In the several states. Traffic The Consnlttee on Uniform Traffic Accident Statistics continued to seek means for developing a procedural manual for city and state traffic * 11 accident records systems. Xt developed end. dlstributi4 : a new Manual oe Classification of Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents for use in 1963. The Conmittee on Winter Driving Hazards is easpletirg srrangesnnts for its winter test prograa at Oaylori, Michigan, f w n January 20 to Tebruaxy 3, 1963. A traffic Safety Needs and Progress chart yae developed for use by cities of 90 thousand and over. Xt contains all vajor Traffic Inventory gecuiatendatlons and will give officials s graphic presentation of progress over a three-year period. Women A Hons Safety Messags-af-tbs-Mooth was developed for General federation of Vonen's Clubs to he implemented locally vrlth radio and/or televlelon at* tlons.

Tbs Hiltoa Hotel's new exfctiat faaility ^ v e us the r' opportunity, and I a dellghted to report that alBoet allof tteaddl- tiooal space has been old. The Exposition this year has attracted 259 exhibitors, including 73 organizations vho are participating for the first tine. Booth occupancy has Increased from 259 in 1961 to 357, and Exposi tion earnihga of $137,000 is $b3,000 Bore than last year. Educational exhibits, vhich a n assigned hy t M s Conference, havw been expanded ftub six to twelve booth spaces. ... (rvu-.n . A by-product of the larger Exposition, was. a 9 Pr,vcent increase in advertising sales m the October Congress issue ofWkTI0KAIi8APary HBW8 which includes the official Exposition Oulde. Gross advertising revenue for this issue was $92,000, the highest total for a single issue yet recorded. "Earned income from membership dues and publications sales for the first three quarters of 1962 has maintained the favorable pace reported at 12 - earlier meetings this year. The nine-month total of $3,501,000 Is 3.1 per cent over budget, and 5.5 per cent more than the same period of 1961. At this rate, the 1962 final total should surpass our 5 million dollar target, and vlll exceed the 1961 total by approximately onequarter of a million dollars. "Highlighting this gain Is the dramatic growth In the consumption of the Council's off-the-Job safety services both by business and govern ment employers. "This classification of material -- led by the 300,000 copy circulation success story of Family Safety magazine -- will account for nearly onefifth of the Council's publication sales In 1962. The anticipated off-theJob material sales total of three-quarters of a million dollars for 1962 represents a 30 per cent gain over 1961, and 114 per cent more than the sale of this type of material as recently as 1958. "Improvements in publication quality and service efficiency, In combina tion with the continuing program aimed at helpln nv members get off to a good start In obtaining maximum benefit from the Council's membership services seems to be producing results. The numerical toll of cancella tions for the first nine months has been reduced by one-fifth, and Is lower than for any similar period since 1956. Unfortunately, this Is about all the good news that can be reported relative to our struggle to grew as a membership organization. For no apparent reason new affili ations and cancellations seem to move In the same direction. In years when membership losses are the greatest, organisations clamor to Join. When cancellation experience seems to be under control and the opportuni ty for real growth is at hand, prospective new members ssy 'no' In chorus. "The 'Anniversary Tear' does present a natural'springboard for an allout membership campaign. We have seme arbitloua plans that you will be hearing about at subsequent meetings." V.
