We suggest how a pcrticulhr^rfknt can be defer protected against the malicious efforts of the spy or saboteur as ^ell as from the more common industrial accidents. Deficiencies most frequently found pertain to the matter of selecting and investigating personnel, identification of employees, guard protection, exterior end interior illumination, fire-fighting equipment, handling of visitors, fencing of proparty andrscreening of windows, end protection of confidential blueprints and records.' J _ . \ ' . . -. . . . As an example, in one particular plant it was found that fire-fighting equipment consisted chiefly of water pails suspended from the celling or the walls. The survey disclosed that ell but a few of the palls were either empty, contained only a few inches of water, or had deteriorated to the point that there were no bottoms at all. Ur.

AS atract of first progress report on a study of "Sick Absenteeism in Industry," among a group of members of Industrial Hygiene Foundation presented by Dr. W. a.

Sever t.Se<companies, however, show story rates above the Public Health Service With regard to days lost, the 7 of the 8 comedies supplying data on the closing of non-ended cases shaved s loss of 51*126 days j^bng the nrles. Company rates varied from 1.69 to 3.39 days per nale per year, tbe-.&tter rate apprordsf.ting the median rate of 3.33 days experienced by companies repo^^g to the Public Health Servlet for 1935-37. With respect to the reliability of the rates *ad hendl^&ke value of inter company comparisons it is sufficient to stats that the rates may reflect the operrtion of many factors among which are the mors cr less "artificial" ones such as those originating in the various regulations of a sick benefit plan. It may be safely assumed that the rates as given do not present an overstatement of the sick absenteeism situation as measured in taros of 3 day or longer absences. (One conppany*3 rate was well above the average for the others and three times higher than one. An analysis showed that two-thirds of this company's large total rate ns caused by respiratory diseases.

The shorter period is used?because absentee ism of Bore than eight days is obviously less than for a shorter period, and ve are most anxious to have as much inforai^ion as possible so that corrective steps can be taken to lessen ths t^^jLost. We also express absenteeism, instead of by the number of^ees per thousand employees, by the percentage of shifts lost, as this basis, in our opinion, mors vividly indicates to our operating men the amount of time lost, and therefore the percentage of loat production and profits. Statistics, Just as accounting statements, must be current and easily undarstandable by the men in charge of production. It is, of course, elsrays interesting to know why a person died, but from my point of view I would much rather know why ha is sick, so that steps might be taken to prevent death. .. ?&ji No. 2. 2. The Coat, or the "dollars ar.d Cents" Angle of Absenteeism There are attached hereto certain absenteeism figures of the 5t. Joseph Lead Ccspeny, which show that only about 6.CJ of all absenteeism is the result of accidents while at work. The other comparative percentages may jae Interesting for those who wij^fjto study the situation in detail, only t g to handle ti; em from a rather bread point of vi^sj^yith tl ;ht of empha * g^tha "money'* loss of absenteeism and t^^Sfuggesi' ible waxarof 5ening this loss. Lead Company has made a serious effjrtHt se involved through accidents whii^Q( have done so, not because of say afomyrtlc e dollars saved by this procadEwemJPia- [.s Indicated by the foil* rom l ick in 1923, u its per hun 'd^&ars of payroll was spent by tl: of accident# was * rtment pel work, and the cost a of payroll; whereas in 1940, cents for safety, and the cost of accident per hundred dollars of pay- roll. `dui^to ^^^ofety expense increasing Tke comment might be over nine tines, on^jjjifc^fccident coat o; ~ ing cut about 70%, tho actual saving is^neJc^y the difference in cost, which Is $1.71 per hundredjddi3*p of payroll C*3JQ^r>$l. his is, of course, true, but mrftWPai saving is far gre^rter^than (although this iir- ect savCa'isr only Southeast Xissouri^JEoa^ts ut $35,000 per use it does not include the indirect costs. These bats are, the extremely adverse e. , ofi<^3tccident on a own person and family, the expense of^rn^acin^^^lnjured man J/ith the resultant increased cost of supervision ^spoij&rt ef material, lower output, plus the eost of repairing equipment thnt'~ay have been damaged in an accident. About a year ago, Ur. Harrington, Chief of the HealtlFe^d Safety Branch, (J. 5. Bureau of Hiaea, made the rather startling esti%to me that tr.e indirect coats amount to about three times as much as tdaSjLirect costs. With a direct eost of 97 eents, or approximately one doTifa^)the indir ect costs would, therefore, be about $3,00, and the total -cost about $4.00 per one hundred dollars of payroll. With a payroll of five million dollars, the accident costs may, therefore, amount to $200,COC per year. Even though the time lest through accidents Is only about 6% of the total absenteeism, we cannot estimate the total absenteeism less by multiplying the accident percentage by some fixed amount because all operating men know that even under normal conditions there will be sick ness and, therefore, extra men are carried on the payroll to insure reasonably normal operations# The direct loss of absenteeism Is the amount of wages paid these "extra" men,- just as the direct less of accidents is the compensation and medical cost. From the tables attached, Pag* No. 3. it la apparent that in Southeast jiissouri, th* shifts lost through ab senteeism is 2.33% of the total shifts worked, at the Bolraat nine 2.2%, and at Josephtown 1.7%, It may, therefore, be reasonably assumed that in our operations possibly 21 extra sen are being carried; with a force of 5,000 sen, there are possibly 100 extra men whose earn- ts would approrlmate $lSO,COO.^u.s figure may be considered as the rect" losf^ Th* "indirect^SteseKeeism losses are probably first as >as fcoincidents, tajeefjJSJy because a man works efficiently up^ jwhereas in th* ease of sickness, a " ^done before an employee is forced to_ Using the accident Indirect cost " and miscellaneous absenteeism $540,000, which with the direc '^arjpajces a ' , it must be appreciated th Ac'matter what :e will be some sicknas^&nd !scellaneous therefore, the can reasonably 1 or about employee in a oxlaate the abaenteelsm .t, multiply the number of 3.

T7* can, of course, consume -mpfr* materials if we can secure more workers, but as a representative-frek a statistical service stated to me, "There is it possible to obtedfeiO million more workers which will be needed if the indicated consurfph|ijki for war and civilian purposes is accomplished?" From puroly a prse^E^I point of view. It seems to me that wc should reduce civilian conigkption to -the extent necessary to meet war-tir.e necessities, and from an equnlly practical point of view, that more man hours of employment should be secured by decreasing the amount of time lost through absenteeism. A rough approximation of the production loss con be determined on the following basis: each worker in the United State* loeee about 8 days per year - if we can save 50%, or 4 days, we save 32 hours per worker; with about 7 million persons in defense industries, we would save about 200 million hours of labor, which is sufficient to build 100 destroyers, or about 300 standard cargo ships. Pag# No. 4 4. Improved Community Wealth ia "eslrable In connection with reducing absenteeism because of sickness, the problem is even greater than in the ease of accidents, because, in addition to working conditions and employee attitude, sick absentee ism is affected h7 th's employees' horn# life, his housing,'his food, hi^Jhility to get prompt and eff^ont medical service, and above aJ-fcyiy the general sanitary cctriSUoay In the locality is which he live*<v!rhe Stv^eeph Lead^Cnmpd^'has for the peat twenty years been wi&jsly;5awesti^firjBie general health of the communities in whie^^tsvprli^iBa^^MriKans are located.

SuggestiosKiaJfea Methods for and Lessening Absent^efty7 _____________ ^maption that seme ccrpahjaa^will evinced of the y of obtaining information o'njreaont then I offer e following suggestions: W< When the check-up is undertaken, tell tW empl^m^why It is being dene, that the inforaatlon obtained will not affect their personal liberties, and that'^tuj* the data definitely shove certain conditions to be iSixfjfljwrable, then the Company will seriously attempt to de^Jtop remedies. For example, if it is found that a deal more time is lost from colds than from accidentsf^tfcen a company might well consider the desirability of nagging available protective cold pills or vitamin capsuletf^p sun lamps. If It would appear from absenteeism figures that an epidemic was starting, workers might bo sent home immediately upon feeling sub-normal, and not be allowed to return without doctor's permit. It is also suggested that the company's or a recognized local physician should tnik to the men collectively at certain periods, that these talks should be stenographicnlly reported and then mimeograph copies mailed to the man's home so that there would be some discussion on the part of his* family - if a man has already heard the doctor's- story, he rill be disposed to discuss the pamphlet and, in sc doing, will improve himself os well as others with the doctor's Pag* So. 5. suggestions.
