While we arc too new at this work of Pennsylvania. It was hoped that such a to oiler definite conclusions, wc are hopeful that through this discussion wc will be able to give you some helpful information. We in Pennsylvania, as well as you from other coal-producing states, have long been concerned with the explosion hazard of bi tuminous coal dust. Through intelligent re search we have learned how to guard against coal dust explosions. The same considera tion has not been given health hazards from coal dust in all areas. This could be due to the fact that medical authorities arc not study would offer some criterion that would enable the establishment of safe limits of dust concentration. This study was made and a report suhmiitcu to the Governor o! the Commonwealth. Among other concl* sions, the report contained the following: "Analysis of the data for the purpose d! determining safe limits of dust exposure in dicated that employment in an atmosplieu containing less than 50 million dust particki per cubic foot would produce a iiegligiHt sum of cases of anlliraco-silicosis when the in unanimous agreement that the breathing quartz contents of the dust was less tins of bituminous coal dust is harmful, lie that 5 tier cent.

Secretary Lewis E. Evans of the De partment of Mines staled at a later meet ing, comprised of the same representatives who attended the original meeting, that it was his intention to employ first-grade mine foremen as dust study personnel both in the anthracite and bituminous divisions. Fol lowing this meeting, four first-grade mine foremen were employed--two assigned to the anthracite division and two to the bituminous division. A comprehensive six-weeks training period was arranged to familiarize our dust study personnel with various techniques of sam pling and analyzing coal dust. Following this training period, we equipped two com plete laboratories--one in each division. Pres ently, dust counts are made with a microprojector. Some work has been done on direct counting, and our personnel arc fa miliar with both methods. Qualitative sam ples arc collected by our people and the de terminations are made by the Department of Health. The laboratories arc not pres ently equipped to make qualitative analyses. At the end of the training period, Secre tary Evans met with the dust study per sonnel from both the anthracite and bitumi nous divisions. He outlined a tentative procedure and described his expectations. Briefly, his instructions were: 1. He emphasized that dust study per sonnel must be concerned only with the work for which they were employed. This de partment had reports that on some occasions, personnel making similar studies had ex ceeded their authority and reported situa tions about which they had no knowledge or jurisdiction. 2. He insisted that before entering the mine, our personnel should have a thorough understanding of the property, thus enabling them to conduct a study that would be rep resentative of the dust in suspension through out the mine. 3. He suggested that periodically, pro cedures were to be discussed with repre sentatives of the Department of Health and with mine management. 4. Our people were advised that the pur pose of this study was to enable the De partment of Health to evaluate the effects of dust on the lungs of our mining people, and that any piece-men! publication of the report could have undcsircd effect. There fore, it had been agreed by all parties to this study that one copy of the report wotiM be furnished to the Washington office of the United Mine Workers of America, the op erator of the sampled mine, the Secretary of the Department of Health, and one copy was to be retained in the Department o( Mines and Mineral Industries. Before our entry into the first mine, three of the major companies operating in Ihe bi tuminous area expressed the desire to con duct studies simultaneously with our person nel in their mines. We welcomed this idea and felt that in time other coal companies in Pennsylvania will express the same in terest and conduct studies of their own. At the time this was written, we had com pleted surveys in at least one mine of each of the companies who were making simul taneous studies. We then met with the coal company industrial hygienists from these companies and outlined our procedure. We invited their criticism, and I am happy to report that in the main, they were most complimentary. It was felt by all concerned that periodic meetings of this type would prove most beneficial in arriving at a stand ard procedure that would be indicative o( the intended purpose. . Insofar as is possible, we have adopted similar procedures both for the anthracite and bituminous divisions. It might prove in teresting ami helpful to this group to outline Ibis procedure: 1. The Deputy Secretary of Mines and Mineral Industries of the pertinent division makes arrangements with mine management to conduct a dust study in a specific mine. 2. The dust study personnel meet the state mine inspector at (he mine for the purpose of becoming acquainted with local mine management. At this meeting, the mine in spector goes over the mine map and gives a description of the methods of mining be ing practiced. It is only for this one-day meeting that our state mine inspectors are delayed in their regular duties. They can, of course, as time permits, accompany our dust study personnel on at least a part ol the survey. 3. No attempt is made to study every working place in the mine.

Determinations are made of each of the various classifications and in proportion to the number of such classifications in each mine. For example, if there arc twenty con tinuous mining machines o|>crn(mg in a mine, we make an effort to take dust counts and samples at at least half of them. Likewise, the same procedure is followed for each of the various job classifications. ` 5. Daily samples arc correlated into av erage time weighted cx|x>surcs.

It is this dust containing from 35 per cent to 65 per cent silica, depending upon the nature of the material drilled, that is most harmful. As this program continues, I am certain that we will he able to offer more conclu sive and valuable information to groups of this kind. I feel that T have had an in valuable experience in being permitted to initiate this program in the bituminous di vision of Pennsylvania. Secretary Evans has emphasised on many occasions that health is a function of our department, and if through this program we can prevent one case of silicosis, anthraco-silicosis, nr pneu moconiosis, the program will be well worth while. I am certain that this is not only Pennsyl vania's problem, but a problem in all mining states throughout this nation. It is well de serving of our best efforts and consideration. SAFE PRACTICES IN STRIP MINING By EUGENE E. QUENON Director of Safety, Peabody Coal Co., St. Louis, Mo. Injury records at strip mines, compiled on a tonnage basis, have always been envi able when compared with deep mines, and one is likely to take for granted that seri ous hazards seldom exist in strip mines. Shortly after being employed by l'ealiody Coal Co., I had a very rude awaken ing to the fact that hazards in the strip mines were numerous--and that many of these hazards were serious and decidedly dangerous. While many hazards exist in strip mines under normal mining conditions, some of these same dangers become much more seri ous under adverse weather conditions, and cannot be entirely eliminated without the as sistance of improved weather. Peabody Coal Company's injury records definitely indi cate that adverse weather has a direct bear ing on the increase in frequency and se verity rates of accidents at our strip mine operations. The following example will serve to point out the effect of severe weather changes in the operation and maintenance of our strip mines. Late last Fall, a round of in spections was made at our strip operations. The weather was ideal, and conditions of the pits, haulage roads, equipment, shops and cleaning plants, as well as newly painted buildings and well-kept lawns and yards, all seemed to coincide with the wonderful weather. Working conditions such as were observed during this inspection, along with the at titude of' employees toward adhering to safety practices, gave me a confident feel ing that real progress was being made toward an over-all improvement in safe working conditions which would ultimately result in a much lower frequency and se verity rate. A prolonged cold spell of several weeks' duration followed these inspections. During this lime, the surface had frozen to a depth of 15 inches; and when thawing started, the pleasant surroundings observed a few weeks earlier at many of our urines had, indeed, changed to such an extent that conditions throughout the operation seemed to invite accidents. The hardshi|>s caused by muddy terrain not only created new hazards, but were indirectly responsible for several equipment breakdowns. The over all adverse weather conditions actually ap peared to discourage IKith workers and su pervisors from following adopted safety practices that were normally in effect. Other than tlte main haulage roads sad uncovered coal at these mines, the sur roundings were a mass of mud that defi nitely retarded the entire mining operation and created new hazards. Higliwalls and spoil banks now presented a definite danger from falling or rolling material; handlinf |K>wcr cables in the mud was much more dangerous; walking and working widen such conditions caused fatigue, resulting ^i*r--a lack of alertness. A majority of strip mine officials, who were consulted regarding the greatest hazards involved in strip mining, stated that unusual weather conditions--such as heavy rains, extremely low or high tem peratures, thawing of the surface following long periods of freezing, and extremely dry weather--were all conducive to accidents. Frequently, a heavy rain will completely flood a pit, necessitating the setting of pumps, moving equipment to higher ground, caus ing slides along the spoil hanks and tinstable higliwalls. Until conditions return to normal, employees arc exposed to abnormal hazards. Zero temperatures in the open pits retard tire operation and tend to increase the fre quency of accidents. One of the stqicriiitendcuts explained his reasons why an em ployee is subject to injury during low temperature: "His cars are covered iqi--lie can't hear. He sometimes has bis face covered tip to where lie can hardly see. lie is so cold that lie's numb, and lias hut one thought ill mind--get the job done and gel thawed out." The superintendent might have exaggerated a little, but from observations, I don't think he is loo far wrong. It was also the consensus of opinion that more breakdowns occurred in iieriods of extreme weather conditions. Temperature changes caused expansion and contraction of metals--in cold weather metal liccomcs brittle and lubrication becomes less effective --plus the fact that equipment working in mud ami water is subject to overloading. . Our experience in the past four and a half years proves that a large pcrrcnlagc of serious injuries resulted from employees doing repair work in the open pits during periods ol inclement weather. Snell injuries are partially due to weather mid also due to the fact that the men are required to perform dida'cnt types of work from tlveir normal routine. Lack of cx|iericiiee makes any task more dangerous, and repair jobs ' always require haste, which is also unsafe. The seriousness of safely problems in volved in a modern prcparnlion plant de pends to a great cxlent on the cuiislriirlion, maintenance and o|>eratioii of the plant. Ill recent years, I'cabndy Coal Co. has cou'tlclcd several modern preparation plants, 000431; tp'-r/ Mttriiuf liuilding into them ccilniu fuAtujcs that will enable management lo npcrtilh! jthem safely and efficiently, " -`XSc J While these tipples or cleaning plants me built to include the most modern equipment for maximum safety and efficiency, these modern devices will only help lo eliminate accidents. Constant supervision is necessary lo make certain that personnel think and work safety at all times. An employee is less likely to lie injured when lie lias been trained in his routine work and when the plant is being operated under normal conditions. Since the cleaning plant at River Queen Mine is of modern const ruction and similar lo tliosc at oilier rcabotly operations, it will serve as an example to dcscrilic, briefly, the im|Hirtanec of building lltc plant with certain features to iitereasc efficiency anil eliminate hazards. The Kivcr Queen preparation plant is of fireproof construction throughout; all elec trical wiring is in closed conduit; motors for driving the various pieces of equipment are moisture-proof. Tin: equipment is ar ranged to provide adequate room for safe mainlcnaiire and repair work. The moving |iarls of equipment arc adequately guarded. Stairways and eross-overs arc installed at convenient locations and arc guarded with toe boards and band rails, idoors, stair ways and emss-nvers arc, ill most instances, constructed witli tnctal grills, thus eliminat ing accumulations of coal and dust. A scrirs of water jets, spaced nlioiil 30 indies apart, arc installed oil I lie ground floor for clean ing pur|xisrs. The plant is adequately lighted through out by -yindows and iiieniidrsrciil lights, ami provisions are available, for heating in cold weather. The entire plant ran lie denned with water, without damage lo equipment. Switchlmards amt control panels arc pro vided witli ruhlicr mats, and the equipment is controlled by a series of ptishlmtloiis from a central location. A railroad ear s|M)l|cr, controlled by pushbuttons, eliminates the hazards of having workers exposed, as nlicu conventional methods--such as drop ping railroad cars by gravity--arc employed.

There is sonic real basis, in my view, for (he lack of respect fur (he taw and its officers. Traffic law enforcement has not always been carried through with (hat in tegrity, reasonableness, and intelligence which the public has a right to expect. Let us look at each of these. Integrity. The "fixing" of cases by police officers, prosecutors, clerks and judges, while greatly reduced over what it was a decade ago, is still widespread. The effect of this upon the confidence of the public is in calculable and positively dangerous--particu larly among our younger citizens. This is a serious weakness in the moral fabric of our society, reflecting a lack of both de votion and courage on the part of the offi cers and a cynicism on the part of the public which has lost its capacity for right eous indignation wherever these conditions arc tolerated. Reasonableness. The use of radar to en force speed laws to within two or three miles of the limit; traffic violation bureau fine schedules and the crowded courts which deny a hearing; the fixed limits in chemi cal testing for intoxication; and the "point system" for drivers' license revocation, while apparently "business-like and efficient" arc substituting artificial standardization for judgment and reason and courage in law enforcement. This mechanization and effi ciency are very handy for the politician, but the public has a deep sense of the un reasonableness of it all. Intelligence. The aim of selective enforce ment is to produce the safest possible con- ditioii with the available resources. It h based upon accident investigation and good records--by time, place and type of viola tion. The public will understand ami sup|K>rt such enforcement; but it is still not being done in even a majority of our cities and states; it requires the training of top people, both staff and line. When the public knows that enforcement INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1961-62 Vice-I'residcnt far Industry and Chairman--Roy I'.

We liave seen that we must have enforcement; we cannot have enforcement without public un derstanding and supiiort; the public wilt not support unless the enforcement is honest, reasonable and intelligent; and for such enforcement we need highly trained, well motivated, adequately supervised police, frot* top to bottom, to carry on a welt-organized program which, in turn, is supported by an effective court program.

You can suspect its presence wliercever there is fire, but don't be fooled into believing that just because there is a lot of air present that carlxni monoxide will not be formed. To illustrate this point, take the burning of newspaper in excess air as an example. According to the experi mental work performed by Kaston, the fol lowing analysis of the products of com bustion was found. Carlton Dioxide............................. 7.6% Carlton Monoxide......................... 6.2% Oxygen ........................................... 7.7% Nitrogen ......................................... 77.6% Unsaturated Hydro-carbons........ 1.2% The maximum allowable concentration for carbon monoxide is 100 parts |>cr million; the concentration obtained by the burning of newspaper in excess air was 62,000 parts per million, enough to kill a man in less than five (5) minutes of exposure. Sources of this gas are smoke from a coal lire, flue gas from boilers and house heaters, gas from charcoal braziers and from cokeburning salamanders, and whenever a flame impinges upon a cold surface--just to men tion a few. Carbon monoxide is not a protoplasmic tissue poison. Were it not for its aflinity for the hemoglobin of the blood, it would lie classified with the simple asphyxiants such as nitrogen mid hydrogen. For some unknown and unfortunate rea son, the hemoglobin's nlfinity for carbon monoxide is approximately 300 times greater than its aflinity for oxygen. Its chief mode of action is to combine chemically with the hemoglobin and thereby deprive the body of its respiratory function. There is no further change in the system. The carbon monoxide remains thus combined until the victim is removed from the contaminated atmosphere to fresh air where the chemical process is completely reversed; that is, the hemoglobin gives off the curium monoxide and takes on oxygen. There arc no cumulative eflccls from car bon monoxide for it is not a cumulative poison. The misconception expressed as "chronic carbon monoxide poisoning" is probably based on cases where there has been prolonged asphyxia which has damaged the brain too severely for complete recovery hut not suflicicntly enough to kill the victim. This same brain damage will result re gardless of what the circumstances arc that caused a deficiency in the supply of oxygen to the brain cells. Plastics Polyurethane foams and epoxy resins are finding wider use in numerous applications. The diisocyanatcs used in the production of the urethane foams arc upiier respiratory irritants and extreme sensitizers. Persons who have once become sensitized to these materials develop severe asthmatic attacks if they should again lie excised to extremely minute quantities of the material. Exposure to large initial concentrations will also re sult in an asthma-like syndrome. As a rule once a person has become sensitized, he can no longer work with or in the vicinity of this material. The best control measures for protection against exposure to the di isocyanates is to put in a welt-engineered ventilation system before operations Itegin. The amine hardeners used in the C|ioxy resin system arc the principle cause of dermatological manifestations resulting front contact with these materials. We have a great deal of diflicully in trying to con vince iteople of the iui|Hirtance of wear ing adequate protective equipment in order to prevent skin contact with subsequent sensitization. They arc inclined to ignore the warnings liecause in many cases the skin reactions do not ap|cur until several months after a person has started work ing with tin' resin. Once a reaction has ikrrlnpcd, they must exercise even grenlei rare then required initially in order to pre vent a recurrence. High Energy Fuels The race for missile supremacy and (he conquering of space has confronlcd us with increased problems of cxixisiirc to high energy fuels and tlicir decomposition prod ucts. Among these arc hydrazine and (lie borftnes -- dtboranc, pcnlaboranc and dccaboranc. Hydrazine finds its use ns a propellant fuel, either alotm or with other conqioiinds such as nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide or oxygen. It lias a maximum allowable con centration of one (1) part tier million, and m addition to the inhalation hazard, the material is absorbed through the skin. It is primarily a central nervous system stimulant causing excitement, convulsions and cyanosis. Dibornnc is a gas at room Iciiqierntiirc and lias a maximum allowable rnnrcnlrntioil of 0.1 part per million. Inhalation produces congest ion, edema and hemorrhage in llic lungs.

Protection is best afforded by the use of air-supplied respirators or cartridgc-ly|ic respirators that arc specifically designed and designated for protection against these com pounds. In concluding this brief discussion, may I ixdnt out lo you that the services of your local, stale, and federal health agen cies arc always available lo von. Should you desire information on the polcnlial health hazard associated with any material or process to which yon or your associates are exposed in your particular place of work, feel free to contact any one of them for assistance in evaluating the problem.

Charles Dickens wrote this in his Itook Hard Times, published in 1854, describing a typical cily in England during the years of the industrial revolu tion (1760-1830). The description sounds loo familiar for comfort to us in America in 1961, at a time when wc arc going through another industrial revolution: automation, atomic energy, space travel, and many powerful new chemicals. They arc excit ing developments. They offer a promise of a wonderful world of tomorrow. However, they also pose serious threats to our health ami well-being, unless they arc properly con trolled. We must ask ourselves whether we are better prepared to meet these threats than the English were 150 years ago. Certainly, wc arc better prepared technically. In 181)0, except in a few instances, little was known alrout the health aspects of exposure to chemicals, to ionizing radiation, or the ef fects of long hours of work, jKxir lighting and ventilation. Today, however, our tech nical knowledge is sufficient, so that wc can say with assurance that we know how to use any chemical with safety. Wc know how to set up proper protective measures to make every job safe. The big question is, "Arc wc utilizing this knowledge?" Perhaps you who represent workers in industry know the answer better than I do. Let me give you oidy two examples that will help provide the answer. In Illi nois, in 1958, there was found "a drug packaging plant where 103 employees were subjected to a full body fluoroscopic ex amination each day as they left the plant as a check against pilferage. During the examination, the entire body from the top of the head to the bottom of the shoes was exposed to ionizing radiation. The firm had practiced this procedure on all employees for some 12 years, but discon tinued it when advised of the hazards in volved." I am quoting from Ihe Rc|iort of Ihe Atomic Power Investigating Commis sion to the 7ls| General Assembly, Stale of Illinois, March, 1959.' In the same rc|iorl, the study loutid that: Umax r.nntnmlnntlon and excessive lereli ol rniltnllon typify nearly nil radium processing Installations In Tlllnofa Included In the sur vey. These conditions result from a lock of adequate shielding of proper routing of msterlals, as well as poor housekeeping within the plant, as noted by the contaminated paper and rags littering the floors, the tack of local exhaust ventilation and presence of contamination In eating areas. In addition. It was noted that labels on containers of radium-luminous compounds ilo not contnln Information as to the quantity of radioac tivity Included. In alt radium plants sur veyed, little or no use was made of per sonnel monitoring devices, such ns dim badges and, therefore, there Is no adequate record of radiation exposures received by working personnel.1 This was Illinois, 1958--thirty years after the tragedy of the girls who painted walch dials: they pointed the brushes containing radium |iaint with their lips, and lalcr died of bone cancer. The role of environment on health grows in inqiortancc as wc gradually control the infectious disease agents that caused the plagues of old, and as the chemical and physical hazards of our industrial environ ment become ever more important deter minants of our health and our diseases. A recent report of the Public Health Service made for (he House committee on appro priations stales: "After hearing the evi dence, Ihe members of the subcommittee concluded that the licallh hazards resulting from changes in the environment arc far greater than is generally realized and lhal all levels of government, industries, and research and educational institutions need to step up their efforts to tlcal with the problem.'" The number of chemical materials man is being exposed td is increasing constantly. Over 600 chemicals arc currently being added to food; over 600 million pounds ol pesticides arc used annually, in the United Stales. Approximately 500 new chemicals arc introduced on (lie United States market each year. The occupational environment is the basic element in our total environment. Our oc cupations largely determine how and where wc as individuals will live, and, indirectly or directly, may actually influence our life expectancy and our mode of death.

Or occupational diseases call lie sludied according lo the part of Ihe laxly affected ar the kind of disease.

Occupational diseases may tic acute ami Icuqairary, or may he chronic and long-last ing. Ilrirf rx|Hisurcs lo certain chemicals may produce symptoms that arc of short duration, and the individual recovers quickly. A gocal example of this is metal fume fever, there are many variations and combinations ol these conditions. To attempt a detailed listing of all of the chemicals and metals which can cause disease would only lie disturbing ami con fusing, and wc would lie in danger of not seeing the forest for Ihe trees. Every iuihisli.al chemirnl is dangerous. It is merely a niaf'rr of determining hmv daiigrrnnx it is and establishing pria-eilmes for protect ing against it. The lime is past when "ex perts" ran stand la-fore a group of workers, or, for lhal mailer, a group of physicians and scientists, anil say without rvidenrr that this or that rhrmieat wlun nbsnrlail into the lanly is harmless. 1 recall only a few years ago at lending meetings of in dustrial physicians anil being shown X-ray pictures of lungs of coal miners, hiack with inhaled coal dust, and bring told that this dust was harmless.

Among the metals which can cause this arc zinc, copper, magnesium, cadmium, iron, man ganese, and others.

For a long lime, wc have recognized that silica dust, as it is inhaled hy the metal More important, however, are the chronic miner, the foundry worker, the pottery diseases of industry. These arc the dis worker, tin: lunncl digger and others, causes eases of relatively long duration arising a disabling and often fatal disease called usually from long-coiilimicd exposure to `silicosis.' Similarly, wc know that asla:stos relatively small amounts of toxic chemicals. dust causes a serious lui.g disease called 7 1961 Nationahoufety Congress 'asbestosis.' And, tiicrc is a lung disease (mind in workers in the mnnfartnrc o( alumina abrasives, called `Shaver's disease' (after Dr. Shaver who described it). The dust has high concentrations of alumina and silica. Diatoinaccous earth, a form of free silica, similarly causes serious lung disease. And there is byssinosis, result ing from the inhalation of cotton dust. Un til a handful of years ago, some of the experts insisted that many dusts when in haled into the lungs were inert; that is, they produced no effect on the body. How ever, as we learn more, we find that these so-called ''nuisance" dusts arc also capable of causing disease. For example, talc, co rundum, feldspar, graphite, porcelain, barita, cement, mica, slate, kaolin, and many others. Even farmers, as well as grain handlers in the holds of ships, suffer from a respira tory disability when inhaling large amounts of grain dust. They develop chronic bron chitis with shortness of breath, cough, etc. Chronic bronchitis can result from inhala tion of irritating dusts, fumes and gases: for example; phosphorus chloride and other volatile chloride compounds, acid fumes, phosgene, nitrous gases, aldehydes, solvents and other chemicals. One of the leading toxicologists in the country, Dr. Herbert Stokingcr, of the I'nhlic Health Service, points out that: . . . our experience with occupational lung diseases makes It dldlcult to escape the eonrluslon that all dusts. Irrespective of their nature. If breathed In sufficient quantity and for sufficient time, may enuse profound dam age to the lung, and emphasises the desira bility of the physlclnn's obtaining an ac curate and thorough history on Individuals suspected of pulmonary disease.* Ollier Chronic Diseases Let me discuss a few more of the chronic disease hazards, since these arc the chief occupational health problems of the present day. The chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride, represent a large group of chemicals used in industry. These ran damage the liver and the kidneys. The chemicals known as aromatic amines, repre sented by beta naplhylaminc, used in the manufacture of dye and oilier commodi ties, have been proven In cause cancer of ilie urinary bladder. The central nervous system--that is, the luaiu and spinal cnt<l -ran be affected by many chemicals. Tclrarthyl lead causes severe brain disease called encephalopathy. Manganese, one of the im portant industrial metals, causes a disease that is remarkably similar to multiple sclerosis. Carliou disulphide may cause se vere nervous system effects, affecting the nerves, muscles, and brain. Serious and sometimes fatal blood dis eases may be caused by exposure to benzol. Of course, we know that ionizing radiation in any form--whether through exposure to X-rays or radioactive chemicals--may cause fatal blood diseases as well as various types of cancer. The bones can be affected by exposure to radioactive chemicals, fluorides, phosphorous, and other chemicals. Cadmium affects the lungs and kidneys. The heart may be affected by the metal known as antimony, and possibly by nitro glycerin, and there have been a number of reports that the heart may also be affected by brucellosis infection, which occurs among slaughter house workers and farmers. Nitroglycerin and related chemicals used in the manufacture of dynamite and other explosives make an interesting story and illustrate some of the problems in occupa tional medicine. Workers have been ex cised to this group of chemicals for many years. They have known for many years ihc severe headaches this chemical causes. For years, also, we have heard reports of sudden deaths among workers excised to nitroglycerin. We do know that this chemical has a powerful effect on Ihc Irmly. It causes profound reduction in blood pres sure, severe headaches, palpitation of the heart, nausea and vomiting, fainting, dizzi ness, and other symptoms. It can also cause skin inflammation. Whether it can cause heart disease is disputed. Even though we have known this chemical for many years, there has been insufficient investigation of the health hazards, and inadequate preventive measures. ' Cancer Occupational cancer is one of our mast serious problems. It also provides us with a remarkable opportunity to study cancer in general. The first breakthrough in tlie mystery of cancer came with Ihc discovers' of an occupational cancer. In 1775, in Eng land, Dr. I'crcival J'oll called attention In sihiI as a cause of cancer of the scrotum in chimney sweeps. These wric lillle boys who climlicd inlo Ihc chimneys lo clean them out.

(Ucccnt studies in decide whether Ihc patient is sulTcring from our own uranium mines reveal dangerously an occupational disease. high exposures.') Since then numerous other chemicals, in addition to ionizing radiation, have I icon demonstrated to be capable of causing, or contributing lo the dcvchi|imrul of, raoeer in various parts of the body. Some examples are beta naphtlialamine, which I mentioned earlier, causing cancer of the urinary blad der, coal tars which can cause cancer of Ihc skin, chromates which cause cancer of the lung, and-rjiany others. Recent studies have focused Suspicion of lung cancer liazards in the work of wijdcrs, sheet metat workers and other jiicUdjyorkcrs. Very few occupational diseases produce such characteristic symptoms that they can lie readily identified as an nrritpalional dis ease. After all, ihc body can read to harm fill stimuli only in a limited number of ways. For example, a worker may have severe pains in Ins alidnmcn. These might be caused by appendicitis or by laid poison ing. Leukemia may result from unknown causes or from exposure to X-rays. A person suffering a certain type of |iaralysis may have multiple sclerosis, a disease of as yet unknown cause, or it could lie man ganese poisoning. The person who has a Skin Dileases n rough, shortness of breath, and is losing Skin diseases are, as you know, Ihc most frequent type of occiqiational disease which we see. Most of them result from direct irritation by chemical or physical agents. A smaller numlicr result from an alleigic weight, may have tuberculosis, silicosis, berylliosis or cancer of the lungs. A his tory including occupational history and a thorough examination is the only way of telling those conditions apart. reaction to a chemical. Almost any chemi cal contact can result in dermatitis. Many of the new chemicals arc musing skin troubles. l*or example, the epoxy resins: These materials are living widely used in electronics, niitiuiiolivrs, pattern-making, diecasting, aircraft, ami other trades--for sur face coatings and |>aints, molding compounds, various plastics, ami electrical insulation. Another group of chemicals which causes skin disease arc the chromates. (.`limine ulcerations of the skin arc well known. The chlorinated hydrocarlmus also may cause skin diseases. One of them is railed `clrloracnc' because it resembles ante. Machinists and metal workers often get a dermatitis from cutting oils, foal tars produce skin changes, some of which may turn inlo can cer. There arc a host of others loo numer ous to mention. Prevention All occupational diseases are preventable. If ivc were doing our job right, we would have Mnlhiug to talk almirt Iihlay. The fad is that unknown numbers of i>cuplc arc sulTcring from a great variety of orciqiatioual diseases liecausc we arc not ade quately iirolcctiug against them. What arc the protective measures which we sliouhl follow ? (1) Education: Employees should be given adequate training for their lobs, so that they understand the process, know ihc ma terials they arc handling, and. therefore, can protect themselves and other workers from injury. Key employees sliouhl he instructed in first aid. Management and lalmr liolh have responsibilities here. Shop health ami safely commit lees can help in the health education Protection of workers.

Good lighting and re duction of noise, clr. arc oilier environ mental problems (hat (he engineer can help to solve. Only when engineering measures arc not possible should respirators or other |>crsoiinl protective devices be depended on for pro tection against inhaling of harmful materials. (3) Good housekeeping and sanitary place of work: This means a clean place of work, free of dirt and dust, and accident haz ards. There should be adequate toilet, wash ing, shower, locker and eating facilities. Hand washing atone can often prevent dermatitis and other diseases. All containers of chemicals should be properly labeled. (4) Personal protective devices: Wher ever necessary, management should supply workers with respirators for protection against noxious dusts, fumes and gases in the air; suitable gloves and work cloth ing for protection from harmful chemi cals; hard-topped shoes and hats for pro tection from falling objects; safety goggles, etc. (5) Medical protection: This includes first aid facilities and a medical department. Every worker should have a |icriodic physi cal examination, not for the purpose of dis qualifying him for work, but for the pur pose of detecting disease cariy so that prompt measures can lie taken to protect bis health. The physician has an ethical obligation to inform the worker or his family of any finding important to his health. In addition to first aid and medical care for work injuries, all workers and their families should have access to modern medi cal care. Unions throughout the nation are obtaining such care through collective bar gaining. Union health centers and other plans, such as Health Insurance Man of (ircatcr New York and the cooperative health plans, are attempting to bring good care, including preventive medicine, to work ing people. (6) Plant health and safely committees: Every place of work should have a com mittee of representatives of the workers roncerncd with the health protection of the men ami women in the plant. This com mittee should have authority to make pe riodic inspections of the plant and make recommendations to management. The com- milter, should meet regularly with the plant physician, the nursing staff, the plant safely and industrial hygiene engineers, and with other representatives of management to dis cuss health and safety problems and to plan programs of education of the workers in these problems. (7) Government safety and industrial hy giene agencies: These agencies should be called upon for help, whenever the union believes that management is not adequately providing health and safety measures in any particular problem. Iloiv IPc Are Doing Our Job How well arc we doing in protecting our workers? Let me cite a few facts. The prevalence and incidence of occupational dis eases in the United States is unknown, be cause in many states there is no reporting of occupational diseases. And, in (hose states where there is reporting, it is incomplete and not uniform. Moreover, we know that numerous occupational diseases arc not rec ognized because of medical ignorance, de ficiency in medical education, deficiencies in workmen's compensation laws anil health and safely laws. Health services in many private industrial plants arc inadequate, and most workers are employed in small plants where such services arc not provided. According to the I'ublic Health Service, *70 per cent of the labor force is not receiving proper industrial hygiene and health services. The governmental agencies, federal, state and local, which arc charged with responsi bility for protecting the health of workers, arc for the most part grossly inadequate in their resources and services. They suffer from lack of funds, personnel and even (rum lack of authority. At least seven of our slates have no'occupational health units in their health or labor departments, and in all of the state occupational health agen cies in the entire country, there arc less than 41) physicians employed. There is no uniformity of industrial health codes anil standards, and the states differ in the haz ards regulated and in their regulations for llic same hazards. There is a serious and growing shortage of physicians and other hrullli personnel Itotli in and out of industry. I)r. Harold J. Magnuson, Chief of the Division of Oc cupational Health of the U. S. I'ublic Health 10 00 04 :t I /.n/wjP aletv Seivicc, estimates that by 1970, indnslr. will need 4800 physicians, but is cxpcelci to have only 2900; while 35,(KM) industrial nurses will be needed, but only 26,000 arc* expected; and 3400 industrial hygienists will be needed, but only 1600 arc exacted. IPork-men's Compensation Good workmen's compensation laws arc basic to the health of industrial workers. Without strong workmen's ronqicusaliou laws, it is difficult to sec how we can ever have really effective implementation of our industrial health measures. The fact is that although the workmen's compensation laws are the earliest form of social legislation in the United States, they arc in almost all cases hopelessly behind the limes. They are inadequate in their provisions for com pensation, for medical care and rehabilita tion, and most of them have not been brought up to dat4 to'pcrmit equitable recognition and compensation fbr the injuries iulliclcd by radiation and chemical hazards which cause chronic diseases, usually after long latent periods between exposure and the first symptoms of disease. Two stales still have no no upalinii.d di. ease coverage. Nineteen Mate laws oner only specified diseases. Most of tin- laws exclude farm work, domestic work and casual employment. In over half the slates, employees in small establishments which have less than a s|iecificd number of em ployees arc excluded, and in 12 slates the laws apply mainly to a list of ''hazardous" employments. Many white collar workers arc today excluded from the workmen's compensation laws. Research The level of our research in oectqiational health is correspondingly low. Research is largely in the hands of private industry, and it is guided substantially by the eco nomic needs of the particular industry. Even where research is done in universities, much of this is subsidized for s|*cial needs by private industry, (ioverimieiilnl agencies sporadically have made excellent contribu tions, but their resources arc chronically inadequate. There is an urgent need for a system of research and consultation facili ties in various parts of the country where workers and employers alike can go for .scientific solutions to their prublems. nY pie' I'ulHrc /l * i*a t, a siiIhi mimillcc of I lie, I'lousr bVtr^n'^li|lfofifumiifis''i,llfrtetr4i;oligress- mnit Fogarty conducted hearings on these problems. These nrc published in a ''Kc|*rl on Knvinmmcnlal Health I'mhleuis," avail able through the Government Minting Of fice.' It is interesting reading. These hear ings raised hope that better appropriations would be made to the I'lthlir Health Serv ice and other agencies for an expansion of services in the environmental health field. In the meantime, there is a dangerous vacuum in the supervision of hazards from ionizing radiation as differences prevail among the interested agencies, A EC, U. S. I'ublic Health Service and the slates, over jurisdiction in this field. At the moment, controls in this field arc a patchwork with good programs in a few stales like New York and California, Imt poor or almost noii-cxistcnt programs in most others. The implications of all this should be obvious.

The United Auto Workers lias a depart ment of occupational health, staffed by two experts in safely and industrial hygiene. The Inlet national Association of Machinists has a medical consultant. The Inlcrnatiuiial t'hrmiral Winkers' Union also has a medi cal consultant ami icrctilly appointed a stall safely mail. These pciqdc can be of great help to workers in providing them wi'.li expert knowledge anil honest information. Obviously, however, every union cannot and should not hire its mvn corps of experts and set up its own lescarch laliornlories. We arc dealing with lug social problems, and they must be met socially. 11 1961 National y Congress Professor of Sociology of Columbia Uni versity, C. Wright Mills, defines the issue in this way: No moral endeavor, no political orientation, no human study that docs not pay close at tention to man at work, can possibly be adequate for our time. For work Is affected by nnd In turn affects nil that man Is and all that he might become. The question we must ask of any society or of any social nro- f;rom Is what kinds of men and women does t select, encourage, create? And, In terms of this human evaluation, the most Important question we can ask Is whether work Is n void In which men sacrifice themselves or whether work Is a central feature of n style of life In which man may realize hlinself. . . .* REFERENCES (1) Hunter, Donald, The Diseases oj Occupa tions, Little, Brown & Co., 1955, pp 85-6 (2) Report of the Atomic Power Investigating Commission to the 71st General Assembly, State of Illinois, March, 1959, p. 25 (3) U.

C,, 1960 SOME OBSERVATIONS ON OCCUPATIONAL DERMATOSES By PAUL P. BOSWELL, M.D. Senior Dermatologist, Provident Hospital, Chicago Incidence of Industrial Skin Diseases While llicrc arc at present no reliable statistics on the incidence of occupational dermatoses, Ihcir frequency is undisputed. Indeed, in World War II evidence indicates that there were more skin casualties than all other battle casualties in this very spe cialized occupation of soldiering. In England, a three year study done lictween 1930 and 1932 inclusively, more than 72 per cent of all occupational diseases were found to be industrial or occiqiational dermatoses. Reports from the compensation boards in seven states in this country indicated that 65 per cent of all cotnpcitsiblc cases were occupational dermatoses. In a fashion more understandable to those of us accusliancd to cost and taxes, this means an estimated loss of more than ten weeks per year with an annual cost of approximately one million dollars. This, in itself, a stag gering figure. /Inatomy and Vunction of the Skin With these brief statistics, it is well to ask something of their body area, so easily 12 disposed to such great measure of damage. And again it is felt that a most superficial look at the anatomy ami function of the skin, ns it is related to this question, is indicated cs|>ccially for those not related to the medical sciences. It is not always realized that the skin is one of the most important organs of the body. In its embryonic drveliipnicnl, it represents the first of the three primary or basis tissues formed, the ectoderm. And from this ectoderm the largest sensory or gan is developed, the brain. So the skin is not only a prologue to the brain, but remains the next largest sensory organ. The skin is an organ, a very complex organ, constituting about one sixteenth of the total body weight. It contains, within its comparatively thin structure, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, glands, specialized cells such as those that produce pigment and appendages such as nails and hair. Willi over-simplification, we ran divide the skin in two major layers--an inner layer, called the curium and an outer layer called epithelium. The inner layer is tough, clastic and resilient, mid its chief function gMt" -5 non.1 / u - > UUU O . Lobar Safely is to protect against normal and cvcrydaVqjj tlpns .made to this subject. T liti|;jj,.n|:li`.li. injuries the more susceptible inner orgamM^^Wtielfinud tycrmans' began to dtwibc the and this is the skin layer which, on taimiuip%.-.^6uj3ntibflai llCrmnloscs of their ctj|. produces leather. until World War T iti'ifTTlncriran The epithelium, or outer layer, likewise protects by means of its outermost, in sensitive, corilificd layer, its oil gland nnd sweat gland secretion, and by means of pigment content. These elements are present in all normal skin and vary only by degree or quantity. (Icrniatologisls begin llieir prolific ami sig nificant studies. At Ibis lime there was an intense revival ami expansion of die chemi cal industries and many new areas ill llic field of industrial dermatoses had to be explained. These new areas arc still be ing met with even today. Of the many functions of the skin, the following arc of particular pertinence to this discussion: (1) It protects the under-lying tissues of the body by the physical means of resilience and elasticity, (2) It protects by means of die relatively insensitive oille^ "horny" layer of the epi dermis by Us 'resistance to noxious sub stances. 'f ~~ , \ (3) It protects the integument from ac tinic and other physical radiations by means of its pigments. (4) It receives ami transmits sensations of many Ijqics to the central nervous sys tems such as pain, heat and cold. In 1928, the Uniled Stales Public Health Service organized the Office of Dermatosis Investigation, which is exclusively con cerned willi occupational and oilier forms of contact dermatitis. This, in part, has led to formulation of laws in the majority of states designed to compensate workers for occupational diseases. Predisposing Causes of Occupational Diseases ft is almost impossible lo classify clearly all the professional and occupational dam ages lo which skin is subjected. The new chemicals, the complexities of manufac ture anti the wide nsagrs ami lltu resultant ehcmiral products increase Ibis tliflirtilly. (5) It regulates body beat so that ex tremes of external temperature changes can be neutralized. (6) It secretes water ami some waste products. (7) Finally, it has a small role in respira tion and gaseous interchanges. All of llirse functions arc constantly lieing modified by internal and external in fluences designed In allow man In maintain sonic constancy in an ever changing en vironment. Historical Background of Industrial Diseases . From a historical jxiiiil of view, injuries suffered by the skin were known but not favored in medical writings for many years. Not until 1700 when Ramazzinc published his Treatise was formal recognition achieved and many of his observations still bold true today. In 1775, Pcrcival Potts noted and de scribed the chimney sweep cancer of the scrotum, as previously mentioned by I >r. Abrams. However, certain factors remain couslanl. I should like lo summarize some of these among die prcilis|Hising farlors dial play an important role: l:irst--llliisl rating die protective role of epidermal pigment, it is an accepted if not prove,i fact dial negroes are less suscepti ble to certain skin irritants Ilian oilier races. Thus they are die choice employees as grinders and dyers in dye factories, where irritating dusls as well as dyes arc llic major hazards. This is likewise true where solvents arc llic irritating factor as in drycleaning establishments. However, oils and their by-products arc llic chief irritants of negroes and an increase in dermatosis oc curs in negroes chiefly in the form of oil acne. Secondly--Ty|ics of skin vary markedly in individuals as well as in races. The thin, blond-skinned individual has trouble obtain ing employment in those industries that bring llicm in contact willi imlrtidal ir ritants and, I may mid, il liaise imlnsllies' pre-employment examinations arc adequate. Not until die early part of the nineteenth Workers with thick oily skin can tolerate century svere added interests and contrihu- the action of fat solvents, such as soap. 13 I _. IV6I Rationi;. ..afcty ( iim/iess do the job even miller the jircsent iimilci|ii:ilc law. Il is little wonder tlint work men's compensation insurance rales jumped II per cent last year. It was interesting to note that school custodians met in East Lansing recently. While there, one niiinile of silence was observed for a fellow custodian who un fortunately was blown up while performing his duties at the school. By the grace of God, it was one unfortunate victim and not a whole school of children. Hut even one is too many. Not one recommendation was made from this meeting to the illouscSenate Labor Committee to amend the law to cover alt boilers, increase the Labor Department staff or provide adequate funds for the department. Each of these points discussed with yon today arc hut part of the overall picture. Management and laltor should join hands with pride and humility to work side by side towards a common goal, which is greater than all of us. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. This is l%l with all its auto mated machinery, new hazards from chemi cals and radiation. The old problems still have to be whipped before we can lick the new ones. VV'c have a long way to go and a short time in which to do it. Return home determined to work' en thusiastically towards witting out the misery and heartbreak caused by these needless deaths and injuries. 36 OFFICERS OF THE LABOR CONFERENCE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1961-62 Eire President far Libor--l.t.ovt> I).

By attending the Congress you become part of the largest and most important safety meeting of the year. You meet safety men with the same safety problems ami respon sibilities you yourself have. You exchange views ami ideas on accident prevention, health, hygiene and fire prevention--on safety in industry, in trallic, at school, at home and on the farm. From a program of more than 400 meetings, discussions and demonstrations you select the activities that interest you most and that most closely relate to your safety work. This week-long educational program--planned and pre sented by the National Safety Council--can be your most inspiring, most thought-provoking safety experience of 15)62. See the Latest In Safety Equipment At the Greatly Expanded Congress Exhibit Hall See nearly 300 exhibits! This alone--the largest of all safety equip ment exhibitions--will make your trip to the Safety Congress worth while. The industry's leading suppliers will display their newest and best safety products for your inspection. See . . . compare . . . ask questions. There is no finer opportunity Jtoncgh Wjdl-iiifornicd buying decisions for your company. HMka 000452 I I9(iI National Safety Congress nil colors. Tlirir :nr a lot of channels through wliicli people can lie muliv.'ilcil. let's list some to provide you some fuel for thought: individual and family security, individual and family luallli, personal recognition, economic reward, increased status, individual creativity. These channels can apply to the person to be motivated, or to the person motivating toward the goal of safely awareness. Over 80 per cent of the visitations that take place at our company hospitals because of injuries arc due to minor cuts, lacera tions, abrasions, contusions, and bruises. Of all the types of injuries to eliminate, this rategory is the most difficult. If we could give you a solution--a cure-all--humanity would probably put up a statue of us. We won't hold our breath for that statue, for we know that the cure lies with you--not with us. The first step towards the solution of the problem of cuts, lacerations, abrasions, and contusions is the recognition that the problem exists. Your knowing that a prob lem exists and keeping yourself and your employees aware of this problem wil^ pro vide the solution to it. This solution is not an over-night' deal--but can lie obtained hy adding the magic element of perseverance. flag waving is a huilrli of hog.waslll A great many people called the great strides of advancement in the technological fields hog-wash. One of these strides was tin establishment of a preventive maintenance program for all machines. This has Ioiij since proven highly successful. The first and most im|Kirtnnl tool neces sary to a successful human preventative maintenance program is a good sigicrvisor. A good supervisor, like any good man, dot) not live in that dismal swamp land called "indifference"; nor docs lie look at friend); employees, or problems with all the enthu siasm of a corpse. Boil it nil down and it condenses to a priceless, magical element (that we all pos sess, but which, through lack of use, has for most of us become rusty), common sense. II we were to tear down this tool of cominou sense, we would find that it's made up ol these imimrlnul parts: 1. Ability to think logically and system atically. 2. Control of emotions. .1. Just and high ideals. 4. A control of egotism. 5. llclief and practice of the golden rule 6. Courage. It's jmssiblc to shine these parts--lubri cate them with usage--and apply them Id the important job of protecting your em ployees from physical injury and pain. 16 OFFICERS OF THE METALS SECTION NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1961-62 General Chairman--I).
