298 Tnxnly-fiflh National Safety Congress 1. Ovcriiisliaf m*t Mr. McClellan Mbtniild bine prints oi a properly de signed fcoob and also of a portable plat form which had reduced accidents in this operation. 2. Safety shoes and non-slip boots. The nse of safety shoes with fibre toes rather than steel toes had been found advisable in refrigerating rooms to avoid frosting inside the shoe. Mr. Palmer re ported that some of their employees had objected to the stiff tees, claiming misfit and chafing. In such cases the shoe com pany had taken X-ray pictures of the employees' feet with the shoes on until they had found whether the complaint was justified. By following this proced ure they succeeded in getting satisfaction in all cases. Leather soles bad been found the least likely to slip in almost all opera tion*. but that oothtng satisfactory for use on the vitrified brick floors had been developed and thoroughly tried. 1 Mesh gloves. Mesh gloves have been used In two weights. Lighter weight gloves are satisfactory where there is oot much chance of tearing against the bene, but the heavier glove has bcett developed to resist this tearing and is proving much more satisfactory. although some men ob jected to the increased weight- 4. Knife guards. The use of guarded knives on beef killing floors Is largely a matter of education. Some of the old time workmen feeling that It is a reflection upon their skill to have to use a guarded knife. 5. Non-efip floor*. The vitrified brick floors now being in stalled in some locations are more slip pery than the old type. An asphalt floor with plenty of grit is about the least slip pery floor so far developed. Concrete floors that have been troweled to a smooth surface can be roughened by (rearing with concentrated sulphuric acid and then flushing with water. adjournment Metals Section Officers 1935-36 General Chairman H. \V.
