Howard Pyle President National Safety Council One of the most cherished goals of our oddy is to guarantee all our people the highest possible measure of personal safe ly and economic security. Yd accidents -- on the highways, in our homes, on the job, in every phase of na tional life -- are taking a terrible human toll every day. Last year 107,000 Americans died in acci dents, 49,000 of them in traffic mishaps. More than 10 million suffered disabling iojuries. These accidents cost our people indescrib able personal misery. And they cost our notion many billions in ravaged productive energy. Our commor. challenge is one that you attending the I960 National Safely Con gress and Exposition live with daily. It it to marshal effective new methods of protecting human life and avoiding eco nomic loss through accident prevention. Etch of you has sought out a heavy re sponsibility. But each of you has the grati tude of all Our citizens. I extend yon every best wish for a Con gress tli/it will prove rewarding to you and to the public you so faithfully serve. Lyndon I). Johnson Mr. Pyle then introduced the Honorable Abraham A. Uihicoff, United States Senator from Connecticut. Mr. Pyle referred to Sen ator RihicnfTs previous public service as a Municipal Judge in Hartford, Connecticut, a member of the Connecticut Legislature, a member of the United States House of Representatives, Governor of Connecticut, and Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Senator Rihieoff then delivered his address "Traffic Safely and Public Policy," which is included as a part of these transactions, on following pages. Following Senator Rihicolf's address, Mr. I'ylc expressed the National Safely Coun cil's appreciation for his service to the cause of traffic safely, over a period of many years, and presented him with a testimonial plaque, authorized by the National Safety Council's Executive Committee, describing this service.

Wuuhl you have llie three legs of the combustion triangle inside this regulator? (Fuel, oxygen, and heat). What would happen? This? (Show the blown up regulator.) How Can We Guard Ayainst This? 1. Disconnect the oxygen regulator and con nect the SAF-"I FAR icgidalm*. 2. Show how the safely check valve on the GAF-T-PAK regulator stops the reverse flow of gas. 3. Insert Smith's SC2I9 with Mo-TrOl and demonstrate the built in cheek. Burning Kate of Steel. Experiment XI/. 1. Take a milk bottle, into which yon have previously inserted a piece of asbestos paper saturated with water. (This should be lying Hal on the bottom of the bottle.) Fill the bottle with pure oxygen from the torch. 2. Light a small piece of steel wool will) a match to show that the match will raise the steel to its kindling point. 3. Drop the piece of steel wool into the milk bottle filled with oxygen and call attention to how rapidly it burns in the oxygen atmosphere. 4. Indicate that this experiment tics in with Safety Rule No. 9 and caution the audi ence about what could happen if the oxygen should come in contact with grease on clothing or if a person lights a cigarette when his clothing is saturated wiili pure oxygen. Review each safely rule to determine if the objective has been accomplished. The audience now compares their understanding of the reasons for these rules to how fbffi felt about them thruugh the first run throw! the rules. Grand Finale of Safety Meeting. 1. Fill green balloon with oxygen only. A& audience, "What will happen when Hi touch the balloon with Dame?" 2. Fill red balloon with acetylene only.,At the audience if there is sufficient oxypt in the mu mumling air lo hum all olfi carbon of the acetylene. 3. Fill a small yellow balloon about ftt* inches in diameter with equal amount f< oxygen and acetylene. Ask "How nm pressure, psig, is there in this balloon 4. Set off 1 lie oxygen balloon with Iwd flame. Note the disappointing "poof" 5. Set off the acetylene balloon. Note br heavy black carbon residue. Attention: Before setting off the (yell*/ oxy-acclylcnc mixture balloon, ask aa* dicncc to cover their cars and ror.ra;* their hearing aids. 6. Set off the yellow balloon, but be 5PI your own cars arc protected. Alter explosion, compare the uiixtus which was low in pressure in the ydb* balloon and the 2,200 psig in the oxyfls regulator when it is attached to a full of indcr. Is there any question how this com have happened? (Again show the blown $ regulator.) In closing, let us be mindful that, in al culating the effect of an accident, you w come out with this answer: ACCIDENT: (--) Subtracts from jai pleasures.

However, tbc training program did stimulate enough interest and added knowledge so that there was a marked reduction in accidents on the job. As proof of Ibis, tbc Department was able to turn as much as $-16,000 back to the workmen's compensation fund in one year. Prior to the last two years, the accident rate for our Oklahoma Highway patrol cars had been relatively high, until we started a defensive driving vonrse ami relied on aecident records to lead ns to change the color of the Hashing warning lights on the hack of the cars from red to amber.

Y. In (be rubber and plastics industry many powdered or particulate materials arc used which arc capable of becoming air borne under the right conditions. These materials include (l) chemical* such as sulfur, anti oxidants, accelerators, ami metallic oxides, (2) reinforcing materials such as carbon black and hard clays, (3) inert fillers such as cotton shearing, hydrated silicas, and as bestos, (4) pigments such as iron or chro mium salts, (5) processing aids stub as laic and line stearate, and (0) rubber and plastic dust from mechanical action. When these dusts are dispersed into the woikrooni atmosphere, they arc capable of causing (wo types of leuards about which we are greatly concerned. One is the ex plosion and lire hazard, the other is the to.xic or occupational health hazard. For an explosion ami fire hazard to exist, the necessary conditions arc a sufficiently dense dust cloud, nde<|uulc oxygen, air, or other supporters of combustion, and an ig nition somcc intense enough and m contact with the dust long enough to raise the temperature of part of the dust mixture to the ignition point. Reducing any one of these conditions will materially reduce the chance of an explosion lu occur. From a toxicological or health standpoint, a hazard is normally considered to exist when ;Vre is exposure by inhalation to atmospheric dust concentrations high enough to have an adverse effect on the health of the vwukcr. Over the >cars threshold limit* have been established for exposure to many of the types of dust encountered in the rubber industry. It should he realized that dust concentrations necessary for explosion are much higher titan those generally con sidered fiout a health standpoint. It is for the purpose of preventing these ha/.aids from existing that dust control measures are m cessary. Dust control measures arc nothing new. 'flic Chinese, centuries ago, used crude ven tilation methods in an attempt to reduce exposure to coal dust in coal mining. Today we must apply exlta rucigy ami do a better job. W hen we talk dust control today, we normally think of ventilation first. Actually, this is only one method and we should not he blinded to this method alone. Other methods may provide better control, reduce maintenance problems, ami reduce material or product cost. I would like to illustrate various ap proaches to dust control in the rubber and plastics industry. 1. A very dusty operation existed some years ago in one of our plants where bale* of synthetic rubber were opened. The syn thetic rubber bales were coated with talc The hales were stored in a large room about 200 ft. long. Very high dust concen tration* icsullcd 11oiii the opening of the hales ami movement of the bales to |moduction. T he (|ticstion was how to solve this problem. Attempts to ventilate were im practical because uf the large open area. Some years later, someone came up with the idea of packaging in polyethylene plastic hags, eliminating the need for talc and re sulting in a considerable saving. Now, pho tic hags and all are dumped in the mills. The dust problem has been completely eliminated, 't he solution was process change, not ventilation. Sometimes, taking a fresh look, as was dime here, will result in a heller and/or luwer cost product. 2. A common problem in must mill rounis w.is the'handling of carbon black, resulting in very messy work areas. A piogram was undertaken in the company over a four-year period, involving over a million dollars, to improve (he mill room appearance by in stalling ventilation. This, however, did not completely solve the problem. It wasuT until 000583 /vTi/d.'t r ilr I'ltisfic.x .Sr*./:.

Oust concentrations were very high, a lot uf laic was required, and duel work woie out fairly fast. Dust concentrations were reduced hy altering the ventilation, hut they were still too high. The solution was a change in process, hi place of the brushes, an electrostatic powder coaling machine was installed for (Justing the tubing. Dust concentrations arc iiuw down below' the threshold limit and consumption of late has decreased from HDD lu ISO pounds per eight-hour shift. A conMilcrahlc saving resulted from a change to a process which docs not depend on ventila tion. 4. Hand dusting of lire tread with talc (as it used to he done) as would he ex pected, pioduccd high dust concentrations. Now, a li<|uid .slurry of talc is sprayed on the tread eliminating the dust problem. 5. Another plant was experiencing con siderable Inpihlc with fires during the emp tying of hags of powdered sulfur into a sulfur bin. In the operation, the workman carried a bag vof sulfur on his shoulder to the bin opening, slit the bag while it w'as on his shoulder, and dumped the sulfur into the bin. Occasionally, after several hags were emptied and the sulfur dust concen tration had a chance to build tip, static charges would cause a small explosion and Hash lu'c.^Tiurinnately, the operator in each instance suffered only minor face and arm burns. The first attempt to solve the problem was to install a grounded grid across the Lop of the bin, with the thought that the grid would remove the static charge devel oped during the emptying of the hags. Ex plosions still occurred occasionally. Next, (lie bin was kept as full as possible, with no success. The Imal solution was the sub stitution of an oil impregnated sulfur for the powdered sulfur to keep dust and static charges to a minimum. 6. The ultimate in dust control was achieved in one of our plants hy the complete automation of the Banbury loading operation.

NICKEL Manager of Safely, Armstrong Cork Co.. Lancaster, lJa. Part I Several years prior to 1966, (lie Robinson Company's monthly safety reports had shown the Woodvillc Plant as having one of the poorest safety records among the company's nineteen plants. The Woodvillc Plant ranked at or near the bottom in fretpicncy of disabling injuries and duration of absence because l industrial aoidenl. Workmen's compensation costs iur Wooilvillc for the two previous years CNCceded costs and budget allocated to that plant by the central office. On July 3, i960, as an clVnrl to improve the plant's safely record, the production supermlvudcnl sent the following letter to all general foremen with instructions to dis u.'-s it with the shift foremen tinder their supervision: ``Dining the past eight months much has been said and written about cost reduc tion. Each foreman should and must he ail efficient manager, and his desire to re duce costs must embrace safety. We must eliminate waste, which includes the eli mination of accidents-- something tec definitely have not accomplished. "We need a stern, mandatory program to enforce safely rules -- we can't be wishy-washy about it. Therefore, cadi foreman should lake the following ap proach: 1. Know your safely procedures and U able to spot had practices. 2. Train new employees thoroughly. 3. Treat cases of safety-rules violations the same as if the employee was in subordinate or failed to follow work specifications. Use write-ups or, il serious enough, send the cmplujcc home. I. Sliuw your displeasure toward acci dents, as if the employee deliberately caused tire accident--accidents arc ablol on your record as a foreman. 5. Don't let up--constantly talk safely to your employees. 6.

Action must he taken with accidentprone employees. * 'K-l; : C> UUU;5M U&ltber. & Plastics Ye. <ma "Each supervisor is person to the plant mauigrmWf the cause' of each accident.

About eleven o'clock Barr, acting upon Crane's instructions, brought both Danny ami Sam Hill, the union steward ami a <-> worker oil Danny's crew, to Crane's uin.a.

The average highway transport driver of today is well-worthy of his title, "gentle man of the road." If the trucking industry can achieve this high level, surely we can train and instruct drivers within the four walls of our plants, and achieve a similar success. Each plant, each organization, has its own peculiarities and it would be difficult to suggest a driver training program tailored exactly to the needs of all organizations, both large or small. However, it is possible to olabli.di basic concepts covering the ``Who? -- What? -- liow? -- Why?" of driver training that would be applicable lo large or small organizations. ibis can perhaps be best defined in some wiith'ii inniN ni irfcrcnec that firmly nulliur.s UifM- fai ls and may lake the loim of a policy letter, or other written procedure. The formal promulgation of a policy such as this has the advantage of clearly inform ing all concerned what has to he done and ensures the cooperation of all levels of employees. The next questions to be answered, as we organize our driver training, arc "Who will we train?"--and "What will we tell them?" It is necessary to produce, or adopt, an operator's manual which contains all estab lished safety and vehicle operating procedures and is issued to all trainees for future ref erence. It is most important that when an em ployee successfully completes any plateau of a driver training program, Ibis is recog nized ami recorded with the issuance of a safely permit to the employee. A safety permit does many things to many people and should be an integral part of a driver training program: 1. It recognizes a degree of driver ability. 2. It conveys a sense of accomplishment to the employee. 3. It forms the base of your driver train ing records. I. It pi ovules a something (hat can be revoked temporarily or permanently as a consequence of continuing unsafe driving habits. The content of a driver training course should he as simple and direct as possible. We should remember that we may be at tempting lo train out of some of the more senior employees had driving habits that have gone unheeded for years. Action iu such eases might entail a complete change of altitude on the part of a driver and his total acceptance that what we are trying to teach is not only the safe method, but the right and the easiest method. The words "safe," "right," and "easy" can convert cowboys T* Course content should contain as much local background as can be worked into it. For instance, if you use slides in your train ing presentation, lake the pictmes for the slides iu your own plant, using your own employees as subjects. This will certainly stimulate a great deal of interest witii your drivers and help them lo understand that what V'U aic talking. about lines allot ytmf plant anti not some unknown, remote loca tion perhaps a thousand miles away. Let's review some of the basic require ments of a good driver training program: 1. You -- the already hard-worked safely engineer who will willingly and enthusiast!* cully sell management on the need for a driver training program in your location. 2. A iKilicy statement or written procedure that spells out details ill terms of respon sibilities and people involved. 3. Training course material (a camera ami some imagination will help). 4. A driver's manual containing all safe driving rules, safe operating procedures, and other pertinent material. 5. A safety permit system. In conclusion, good, safe-working material handling equipment operators arc not bom that way -- they arc tntined. If you arc plagued with a high incidence of accidents caused by improper vehicle op erations, dont just stand there and blame (lie driver -- maybe someone hasn't takes time to tell the driver what he ought to da Remember "if the pupil hasn't learned, ill because the teacher hasn't taught."

There will be four key speakers and the subjects tend to intcr-rclatc. At the con clusion of the papers we will have a ques tion and answer period. With the co-sponsorship of the American Industrial Hygiene Association and the American Association of Industrial Nurses, we have on the platform with us today their two presidents. First, William T. McCor mick, president of the American Industrial Hygiene Association and Assistant Director in charge of Occupational Hygiene in the Medical Department of Inland Steel Com pany, Chicago. lie is also a member of the American Socicly of Safety Engineers, and many other related safely and hygiene groups. McCormick: The American Industrial Hygiene Associa tion is most pleased to be a co-sponsor of Ibis program on Up to Date Industrial Hy giene. I am particularly pleased that the ladies who make up the membership of the American Association of Industrial Nurses arc also co-sponsors this morning. In our company, the groups who are con cerned with the health of workers both di rectly and indirectly enjoy a cordial and co operative relationship with each other. This has been a benefit to both workers and the company alike. I think it is extremely im portant that those of us who have interests in the well being of people have the oppor tunity to meet together as groups periodical ly to share our information and to assist those in the common goal that we have. The program this morning consists of outstand ing speakers; I'm sure each has a message for us to lake back to assist us in our prograin. It gives me great pleasure to rep resent the American Industrial Hygiene As sociation this morning and to bring you greetings from its members. Uadcliffc: The president of the American Associaliot of Industrial Nurses is employed with tlx Guide Lamp Division of General Motors Cor poration. She is a registered nurse and lias done hospital work, private duty, supervisiav and industrial nursing during the last U years, has worked on many committees aid given many papers. She is a most adivt member of the industrial nurses in tliii country. Without them, our medical, hygiene, and safety programs would be lacking. It't my pleasure to introduce to you the presided of the American Association of Industrial Nurses, Mrs. Edna Watson. Mrs. Watson: We arc most happy to have been invited to co-sponsor this session in the Safety Con gress and, on behalf of the Board of Di rectors of the American Association of In dustrial Nurses, I thank you for being aide to share this experience with you. As industrial muses, we arc especial!) interested in all phases of safety and hy giene in our various job situations. At individuals we are vitally concerned wiA safety at home, school, on the highway, a wherever we find ourselves in a coiiiinunilj setting, not only for ourselves and familiits but to be better informed and thus moil effective as occupational health nurses. We hear much today about the team appioacli to health, preventive medicine, and concern for the whole man, both on the jol and away from work. We believe that takes a combined effort of all of us to UU05oo I nidusUntil Safety Subject Sessions realize the goal of a sa ru- incut in which we woi ^ajidpla>v It takes knowledge, understanding and coopera' lion to have an efficient, effective safely program. That is why we arc pleased to have a part in this session and you arc to be con gratulated in making it possible for all of those who arc interested in safety to come together to share ideas and learn what part they can play in the accomplishment of an effectual program. We ns industrial nurses need to learn to be better prepared to care for the health and safety of workers on the job and to be able to answer questions about safety away from work. As an association, we're glad to be a paMicipahl;jp.i5jifitl woithwhilc pmject f"r oil* W doing all that we can to fulfill the purpose of our uigam/alion. i hi i we can do by taking part in meetings surli as this with other national associations who have similar goals and purposes. Since health and safety are so closely related, you caniiut have a good health piugram without a good safety program. One complements the other, for a healthy productive worker must have a safe work cuvii nimteul. By woi king together, to lorUgnuc safely hazards and cooperating to eliminate them, we can make the environment of the Ameri can industrial worker the most healthy, safe, and productive place in the woi Id. WHAT HEALTH, SAFETY AND PLANT PERSONNEL SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DUSTS, FUMES, MISTS, GASES, VAPORS, AND NOISE By WARREN A. COOK Professor of Industrial Health. Department of Industrial Health, School of Public Health, The University of Michigan, Ann Harbor, Mich. A quick .answer to whal should he known by health, safety, and plant personnel about hazardous materials used in the plant is-- everything! Practically, the extent of the knowledge must necessarily fall somewhat short of this Utopian goal. There are a number of categories of information which should be known. I propose to explore a number of these. Pcriiaps the most critically needed informa tion is that concerning materials which may cause serious illness or death without the worker realizing that he is being subjected to a dangerous atmosphere. An example of such material is one which has resulted in only some 20 deaths as reported in the literature over the last fifty years, and only three reported eases since 1956. Certainly, such a material should not deserve too great emphasis among the myriad of substances which compete for n place in the overall knowledge of health, safely, and plant per sonnel. Bui let us consider what the actual facts may he. In January, l%b. a woi her in California was hra/.ing metal pails, using a silver solder. After some two hours of work, he began to feel bad and the next day ex perienced some tightness of the chest, was coughing, and felt that he had been exposed to too much welding fume. As the condition worsened, he called a physician and they agieed that he must have permitted himself to be excised to excessive welding fume. He was treated symptomatically. Uu the fourth morning after the exposine he was found dead in bed. Within a shoit time after this, a second wotker on the same job be came affected. By this time, it was known that (he silver solder contained over 2(1 per cent cadmium and that the condition was actually due to excessive exposure to cad mium fume. Following the report of this fatal and accompanying' nunfalal ease. 10 additional cases wcie icpmted in the Cali fornia Bureau of Occupational Health, three of these fatal. A detailed ai count of the ciu.unMam es of the two initial eases i- to I II i960 National Safety Conyress he published soon hy Dr. Hector 1\ lilcjcr id tlie California Department in the Journal of Occupational Medicine. Here we have an example of a material which does not immediately become exces sively irritating; one concerning which we have not had too many published reports of dillirulty. Very possibly, the reason for this was that eases may have occurred but, being sporadic, they have not been recognized nor published. Since a welder or a worker engaged in bia/ing operations may have been using solders over the years containing no cad mium. and then such a solder is required for the next day's work, it is vital that not only the health and safely personnel hut also the foreman in charge of the operation should be well informed concerning (be hazards from cadmium oxide fume. Another example of hazardous materials in this category is chlorinated naphthalene. This waxy material is melted in voider to impregnate wire or cable insulation or elecIrical condensers. The vajiui* from Ibis syn thetic wax condenses in the air above the melting p*l as a fume. On being inhaled in excessive amounts it may cause serious and even fatal liver damage. Among the earlier fatal cases as result of such an exposure, one worker died with a diagnosis of yellow atrophy of the liver. At that time there had been no such experience with this material ami it was thought that the fact that this worker was a rather heavy drinker may have led to his death. A second worker continued tltc operation. When he developed a liver condition which also termi nated fatally, but with no history of alcoholic beverage complication, investigations were in stituted which definitely implicated this harm less looking and non-initating synthetic wax as the producer of these liver conditions. As further categories of knowledge con cerning hazardous materials, we should in clude those materials actually in use in n plant, together with those which may lie contemplated for early future use. Possibly (lie best and earliest source of information concerning such materials is through the purchasing agent. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that a close liaison he set up between (lie purchasing agent and (lie Health and safety personnel so that early informa tion will be provided concerning materials in use and those which arc to be ordered. 't hese materials may best he discussed m categories related to their physical and physi ological proj>criics. Among the most important categories aie the dusts that produce the pneumoconioses. In the major industries involving exposure to silica dust, there tends to he a good knowl edge of (he fact that loo much of these dusts will cause a lung condition which may lie disabling. Where the dust may contain crys talline free silica, such as is (lie ease with molding sand in the foundry, or granite dust in a quarry or stone cutting shop, it is wtU understood that the greater (he percentage of free .silica in the dust the lower the dust concentration should he in order to avoid the development of silicosis: It is known that workers should he given periodic X-ray examination, and that the extent of the dust exposuie should he determined by air anal yses, with control measures such as will be discussed later in this session.

An example would be (lie use of silica Hour as a filler in a paint mixture or as inert material in a variety of products. Asbestos lias been much in the daily news papers over the last year or two, uot so much because of its action in causing asbestosis, but because of the association of a cancerous condition known as mesothelioma winch lias been found among workers with asbestos in far greater incidence than among the general population. Talc and soapstone powders are used id such industries as rubber goods manufactur ing, ami may introduce appreciable amounts of such dusts into the air. Whereas most dusts made up of silicates are esesutinlly inert and, as such, as much as SO tuilliou particles per cubic foot of air may he con sidered acceptable, these two miiieials have been found to produce disabling pucumocouiosis in lesser concentrations with (lie result that no more Ilian 20 million particles prr cubic foot of air is considered within sale limits. 132 | 0005811 1 'Industrial Safely Subject Se.\Mfns This, however, is i -tu.y: atses]` and. fi ll that much of the h.i/- connection with talc a florin- a rd; wtpf ^.rei&cjYed when manufacture! s or frequently, these i\vi>It*""1fPtifift'Vh*lTtagreed to unit beryllium in to have some quartz content; this may be their phosphors in June 1949.

Jt would seem that evcivhudy is well in Somewhat the same situation occurs in connection with a dusty material made up of diatomaceoiis earth, a form of amorphous silica. The natural material has been found to cause a disabling silicosis when the ex posure exceeds 20 million particles per cubic foot. However, where the diatomaccous earth is subjected to a calcining operation, some of this amorphous free silica changes over to the crystalline form known as cristobalite. Depending upon whether the diatoma ccous earth is calcined with or without a flux, the percentage of tltc ciistwbalitc may be in the order of 20 per cent or .U) per cent, tiic latter with the Oux calcining. Ap plying the ACGIM formula, these calcined diatomaccous earths should be kept either to 10 million particles per cubic foot or to seven million, in order to avoid lung injury. In the category of metals, we would ex pect that all health and safety personnel arc familiar with lead as an occupational hazard and that proper precautions arc taken to prevent excessive exposure. In spite of this general knowledge, lead poisoning eases con tinue to occur in industry, uot only in the industries that have produced the greatest number of eases over past years.

Hydrogen sulfide is formed wherever there is decomposition of materials containing sul fur under reducing conditions, and eases of multiple fatalities, from two to five, have occurred. Wherever materials containing sulfur arc being handled, ail workers should he briefed about the rapidly asphyxiating properties of this gas. It should be empha sized that at the higher concentrations the sense of smell docs not provide the warning to which one is accustomed on exposure to the lower concent rations of hydrogen sulfide. Workers should know ahead of time that, if one of them sitould collapse in some con fined area where hydrogen sulfide could be the cause, the fellow workers should not enter the confined area to rescue the victim without gas mask protection. The usual precautions of providing watchers outside the confined area, provision of a proper harness with rope attached for rescue from the outside if required, and availability of adetpialc ventilation together with grab sample checks on the hydrogen sulfide concentration within the area should, of course, always be the practice. A category of hazardous materials which includes many substances found in practi cally all plants is that of the solvents. A com plete list of all solvents used in the plant should be maintained. Where proprietary solvent mixes are utilized, every effort should be made to determine the constituency of these or, in any event, whether solvents with threshold limit values of less than 100 parts per million arc included. With the extensive publicity given to the severe health hazards of carbon tetrachloride, it would seem that everybody knows that this should not be used as a general solvent. However, the experience has been repeated many times in which a highly toxic solvent has been substituted by one of less toxicity but at some later date the more toxic solvent, desirable for good solvent properties or low price, has been brought back into the plant without the health ami safely personnel be ing aware of ils re-inlroductioii. Increasingly, methyl chloroform is being recognized as a desirable substitute for car bon tetrachloride as it includes the attributes of eliminating a fire hazard ami, in addition, has the advantages of low toxicity together with good solvent properties and a vaporiza tion rate close to that of carbon tetra chloride. It is to he noted that the hazard of a solvent depends on other properties than tlw threshold limit value, perhaps most promi nent being the vapor pressure and corres ponding boiling point. It is to be pointed out that even such a slightly toxic solvent as methylene chloride with its threshold limit value of 500 parts per million has caused fatal poisoning where its great vola tility has resulted in build-up of concentra tions higher than this value. Solvents with low vapor pressures and high boiling points often may be safely used with open surface) at room temperatures hut, if the operation involves heating the solvent, then there is always the possibility that even the high boiling paint solvent may be vaporized suffi ciently to exceed acceptable concentrations. In past years, the use of petroleum solvents lias indicated a low order of toxicity since these could lie expected to be made lip ol aliphatic hydrocarbons. Today, there is mud increased probability of presence of aromatic hydrocarbons front petroleum sources. It should he kept in mind that the aromatic hydrocarbon content may change with tin same supplier from time to time and con stant vigilance is necessary to make sure that the worker who may he exposed with out injury to a couple of hundred parli per million of the petroleum hydrocarbor containing only aliphatic constituents mz| have Ids health seriously injured on intro, duction of aromatics. Uenzeue is, of course the most toxic one of these ordinarily found in petroleum hydrocarbons. The number of compounds that arc ini plicated in the production of cancer of tli lung, bladder, or skin appear to be on tli increase. Epidemiological evidence point clearly to the chromium compounds as cause of lung cancer. Just how low the exposut needs to be to prevent this dcvelopmci among more susceptible people is ctirrcnll not known. So far there seems to be t evidence that a sufficient exposure ocrui at chromium plating operations to proclui this condition Certain dye intermediates ai sufficiently effective ill the production i bladder tumors that the Slate of t'cnnsj /iiifii.iff iiil Safely Subject .So-r vania lias passed a law, unprecedented in the United Stales, that two of these -- betanaplithylaniiiic and benzidine--may not be produced or used ill that stale. Some years ago, on the basis of animal experimentation, it was believed that many of the high boiling oils from catalytic cracking operations in oil refineries were severe producers of sl.in cancer. Extensive control measures were in stituted in many of the refineries to avoid contact with sueli oils. Over the ycais, ob servation lias been continued of workers with some exposure to these oils ami in a recent publication it was reported that the hazard to humans from this source docs not appear to be as severe as initially contem plated. Ionizing radiations of various types arc increasingly common throughout industry to day. Alpha, beta, and gamma radiations are the most frequent, but neutron exposure may also be a factor. Where sources of these types of energy arc present, competent health physicists should survey the installations with appropriate instruments and make sure that adequate precautions arc observed. A final category that is not a material, hut a vibration, is that of noise. In plant areas where it is necessary to use an ele vated voice at a distance of a foot or so, or to shout in order to carry on a couvcisation, it is desirable to make a cheek of noise intensities with a sound level meter. Where the overall intensity exceeds 85 decibels, it is to be recommended that the sound level meter readings be supplemented with read ings of intensities at sound pressure levels, certainly in the 300-01)0, 000 to 1200, and the 1200 through 2-100 cycles per second bands. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology recommends that the intensity in each of these Lauds should not exceed 85 decibels where a steady noise con tinuous for lire hmirs or moic p-a die contemplated. The United Slates Air Eorcc extends I range over which octavebaud dclcriuiualio aic made from JtHI to -180(1 cycles pee seem All oclavc-baud level of 85 decibels is co sidereal that at which damage risk is minim but the point at which personal cai pi"U lion is lecommcnded.

It#may be however, that we aic attacking symptoms rather than causes. We have, as I have said, begun to explore the nature and true cause of industrial accidents since it is apparent that ^legislation, regulations, and good intentions do not in themselves solve the dilemma of rising accidents. They do, however, provide us with a legal, and we hope precise, framework |o operate within. With our study, we hope not only to delinc the industrial accident and the role of the chief participants, but to be able in some measure to anticipate the future and legislate, not only for this period, but in anticipation of the developments of the new industrial climate. I might say that we, as every prevention body is, arc working to wards the day when we can no longer be employed. We are assured hy many economic planners that the advent of sophisticated technology (automation, if you will), will relegate the industrial wmkers to pushing buttons and performing muuiluiiug func tions for three hours a day. (hir chief aim at the moment is to keep workers alive ami kicking until that day arrives. However, 1 might note that since hv> than two per cent of our industry is fully automated, I feel no immediate need for a jnh re-training cmnse. Our department has continual exchanges of ideas, statistics and operation descrip tions with our other provinces and other cmmtncs. We have just recently completed the first of two ministers' safety conferences where i cprcscntativcs of trade unions man agement, and government have come to gether to re-examine ideas generated hy in dividual research. We have, as well, been host and key participant at the recent Inter national Labour Oigaui/aluui Manpower Conference, winch discussed in some detail the international aspects of .safely education and preventive techniques. All of us then--government, management, ami employees--share the rcsjKmsibility for industrial safety. As government becomes more adept at defining it legislatively and management more adept in recognizing it as a method of enhancing the balance sheet and employees learn to use the safely me chanisms provided for their own protection, we may yet find formulas that work belter than our cmrcnL situatiou-hy-situation ap proach. Frankly, 1 cannot give you omni scient answers, hut I know that if we, to gether, caicfully select our questions and behave honestly and with proper concern in the area of our responsibilities, we will arrive at solutions that lessen and may eventually stop industrial accident and death.

Mr. Dowling: We deal with the Ontario Federation of Labor and favor its support of joint labor-management methods of rule and regulation writing, but I would like to add that once these rules and regulations are adopted they should be put into the working man's language. They should be de veloped in such a way that the working man knows what they arc ami he under stands them clearly. In Canada, we print these rules ami regulations in French for our F'rcurh workers.

They went to Brookings Institute for advice, then developed a play with 13 char acters such as a farmer, business man, stock holder, manager, etc. The employees were assigned various parts and participated in the play at various locations all over the country. The principle idea was that par ticipation would improve understanding and respect. The company paid thousands of dollars for that idea, and it is believed that the same results can be obtained if the union is allowed to participate in developing safety rules. An example of such cooperation is the Carhoi undum Company's joint safely work with the Oil. Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union. This relationship is work ing extremely well and practically every one that I know of has worked very successfully. Moderator: Do you think safety programs should he in the labor contract? Dr. F'mi Alia: Certainly I A contract has to do with conditions of employment, arid one uf the major conditions of employment is your continued life. It seems to tire that labor groups, in general, have been most remiss in that conditions uf employment have not been included under safety. How ever, this is ccrrainly no excuse for this to continue. Mr. Greene: The contractors in the Dis trict of Columbia must comply with tire regulations of our department. One of the problems with safety by reference is that most of the workers, and some of the man agement, do not have any idea of what these regulations arc. They don't understand them. If safety is in the contract, the work ers ought to have enough information so that they can know whether the regulations arc being complied with or not. If they are nut. the workers can act accordingly. If their wages under the contract were not being paid, they would do something about it immediately. I believe that a union should act immediately if there is a hazard ous situation that needs correcting in accord ance with accepted codes and regulations However, if people do not understand the regulations they do not know when the regulations arc violated. The answer, of course, is training. Without training, the regulations will be uitimplcmcntcd. Dr. Van Alta: 1 have read a significant amount of contracts which were signed by people who thought they had negotiated safely into the contract. The standard phrase is "the company will continue to provide safe and healthful places in which to work." This is really just saying that the company will continue its existing bad practices. That is not negotiating safety. It is as worthless as a contract that says the company will con tinue to pay wages. There is meaningful language which can be negotiated into union contracts and nearly all of the international unions can provide this type of language. Mr. liurch: If the union has already sat down with management and worked out acceptable safely rules, the contract can con tain meaningful language that is also simple UUUSiM Bur Sc.\ For example, "both sides agree to at at ai! times, to the safety rules agreed jointly.'* This keeps unnecessary word, of the contract and has the advantage that everybody knows what is being referred to. It also skirts the situation where the con tract is filled with language aimed at every body's particular grievance. The important thing is to get together and work out the rules and regulations by which you arc going to live and then firm (hem up in a binding agreement so that everybody knows where they stand. Actually the original question -- should safely be negotiated into a union contract? -- has been answered by the National Labor Relations Board. Not too long ago, there was a decision which was upheld after it was appealed, and it will probably be a landmark ease in labor relations. The final ruling was that safely was a mandatory subject of col lective bargaining. Moderator: To what extent is voltage over 5,000 volts being worked on out of aerial baskets or insulated platforms with rubber gloves and sleeves? Mr. IVhitchouse: I would like to highlight two things. One, safety standards for the electrical industry recommend that any volt age over 5,000 be either de-energized, or grounded, or worked by hot slick. Two, aerial baskets arc fundamentally a good tool because they place a man in a good position. However, these baskets should not be con sidered as an insulating or isolating device. The same rules apply when working voltages front a basket as when working from a pole. There has been a concerted effort on the part of management of many utility com panies to go to 13,200 volts (and one wants lo go up to 15,000 volts as a limit. A man can use rubber insulation for up to 20,000 volts; however, if his nose is still exposed, that is where he will make contact. Edison Electric Institute made an analysts of accidents over the years and practically all of the contacts over 5,000 volts arc not hand contacts. So, the rubber gloves arc not enough, and it's not reasonable to expect annul to work completely enclosed in rubber. In the opinion of our organization, 5,UU0 volts is the limit for working energized lines except via hot stick. Moderator: A major Chicago cab com pany has vehicles which have the fresh air tiinfMhc cxiiuii^t fumes iuuncdiatcjjr^ahrjtil ' firo. taken info he passenger compartment'cah. This could constitute a serious health hazard and we are wondering what the National Safely Council can do about this situation. Dr. Van Alla: Actually the Council can not do anything about this sort of condition except publicize the hazard. It stupiised me when 1 found that (Ins cab company is still taking their flesh air into the passenger eoinpaitment through ducts (hat arc to<ati down low in hade of the icdiator. Tins is especially smprisiug when you icali/c that all `other automobile mauufaetiiicrs Slopped this practice 6 or 7 years ago because of the number of deaths from carbon monoxide. 1 can't think of any conceivable excuse for this type of neglect in design which can cause serious injury. 1 would think that unfavor able publicity and perhaps one or two dam age suits against the company for negligent design might have a mod salulnious died -These steps can be taken by the union and should be. (Comment from the floor, by Joseph I. Algiua, Safety Director, Sen fa ms luhinatioual Union)--The local union that is involved with ibis rah company is meeting tonight and I will lie pieseut. I will iert*mmrml that this union (.ike dim! action (n see tii.it tin: condition is dimmapd. MtuLrator: I low are safely and hiallh problems handled under Canadian laws? Mr. Diwtimj: We have an arrangwmiil with the Director ami Chief Inspector, In dustrial Safety Branch, Ontaiio Dcpaitmcut of Labour, Toronto, whereby I meet in his office to discuss any problem that involve', steel workers. If thcic is a violation of the Imlushi.il Safely Act, the initial step ird** witli the ofhcial of (lie local union iuvolwd. 'Die local should extend every elfort lo get the violation cot reeled. However, if no cor rective measures are taken the repot t is sent to my ollice. I forwaid it to the lnduMiiul Safety In am.It ami an impcdoi is sent to the plant to check into the condition. Subsequently, we get a report from the Di iceloi of the Iuilustii.il Safely Jhanch imheating whether the complaint was upheld or rejected The fmimhy Mdimi of one union has a somewhat mote ictuied method of haLon. The government inspulor for fuumhivs II iVtilt i\'nii,<n,il Safety Lontjtess must contact the local union officials before lie visits a plant and must take (lie luiyd's appointed representative with him during his lout of the plant. In addition, the factory inspectors m the I'roviucc of Ontario carry a warrant with them and, if they are opposed by the cm* ploycr, the inspector uses the telephone to call the local magistrate. A policeman is dispatched to the plant to serve the warrant on the person obstructing the'inspection atul lias the person removed from the premises until the inspection is completed. Modemtor: Is there a standard clearing house that records a complete list of radia tion exposures to workers handling radio active materials ? Dr. Van Atta: Not in the United Slates, unfortunately. There was a hill introduced in the last Congress, hut Congress did not act on it. We have high hopes that it will he handled during the next Congress, al though we understand that there is consid erable opposition to tliis bill from manage ment sources. Moderator: How can we gel management to correct unsafe conditions promptly? Mr. Doudiny: 1 can only give you an il lustration of what happened in the cily of Hamilton. Ontario. 1 was conducting semi nars in Hamilton when one of the crane operators in the plant called me at my home, lie informed me that the wheels oil the crane had become so worn lhat the dcdiie shoes that pick up the electricity hail dropped to where they were striking stud bulls, caus ing them to fall to (he fldbr below. I called the shop foreman and he admitted that the condition was unsalc. 1 then phoned the Director of the Ontario Industrial Safety Branch ami he suit ail inspector within 35 minutes. The inspector was in the plant for 10 minutes, lie shut down the entire plant. Management was then obligated to tiring in n contractor to icplacc the crane wheels. The plant was shut down for two shifts. Mr. Creme: We have a way of getting things done also; however, it is sometimes rather late. When we receive a complaint we send an inspector to the location. Usually the condition existed for .some time before we receive the complaint. It has bothered the worker, and he has probably complained to various people but lie doesn't contact us until the condition gets seiious. Mr. (told: 1 think it must he apparent that the answer to this question depends in a large measure on the geographic area in which the plant is located. Some stales have hue laws which will take care of these things if you push them. However, oilier states arc quite lax and backward. Mr. Kuutpci: If you believe you arc work ing in u hazardous situation and feel morally certain that you arc right in your belief, then you should refuse to work on such operations until they can he examined by proper and qualified authorities to determine if the conditions need correcting. Mr. Jlunh: I endorse what John says, hut 1 would like lo add (hat union strength varies geographically. A lot will depend upon the knowledge and guts of the local business agents. Moderator: What are the cllects of as bestos dust? Dr. Van Atta: Breathing excessive amounts of asbestos dust over a period of 25 to 35 years, depending upon I lie amount and the person, will result in shot (ness of breath, circulatory and heart problems, and the person will probably die of heart failure. In addition, you will probably get no as sistance from workmen's compensation, if you arc under most jurisdictions. That is the classical picture of asbestosis. But, in llc last few years, we are discovering that asbestos is a rather pi olilic. producer of a variety of cancers of the lung and sur rounding tissues. Asbestos is a skinny little crystal, like a needle, and il works into the tissues and promotes cancers. One variety is appearing in rather sub stantial numbers among asbestos workers-- it has always been (here, but now it is be ginning to be diagnosed. This is a subject about winch we don't know nearly as much as we thought we did 20 years ago. I might say that excessive amounts of asbestos dust is only enough to const'llutc a slight haze iu the air. The situations in which asbestos is used are highly deserving of conqielent professional assessment. Moderator: llow can unions get such professional assessment in eases where they feel the plant hygienist or medical per sonnel are not competent? uuosbb ; o Dr. Van Atta: There: arc scvei qualified physicians in the country act as consultants. Also, some si departments have personnel who can nimb ler asbestos operations and render opinions. (Comment from the Hour)--Dr. Van Atla, you mentioned you can't get compensation lor asbestos disabilities in most jurisdictions. The law has changed in most jurisdic tions in the country during the last few years so that you may he aide to sue the construction company, the architects, and en gineers who built the plant without proper ventilation. This can be considered for full recovery for the wrongful death of a work er or for injuries. This is a very important new area of protection for workers, not only to get damages where there has been disability hut to prevent the continuation of the condition in the future. Moderator: What services or aid should be given or offered to local unions from the safety stall of an international union? il/r. Hurch: The safety director should develop training programs, or at least out lines, for use by* local union safety personnel, lie should supply materials (posters, decals, technical data, etc.) and act as a research consultant in safety and health matters, lie should answer questions received via letter or telephone. He should gather .statistics, which requites the coopeialion of local unions. The international union safety director should represent his union members and (lie trade union movement as a whole, on the various committees that wiitc standards and codes which will died the vvoik of the union's members. The United Slates of America Standards Institute, the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the Society of Mechanical Engineers arc examples of or ganizations that have these types of com mittees. Previously, participation by union rep resentatives has been minimal and we me doing our host to change this situation. This is one of the most important activities that safety personnel of international labor or ganizations can undertake. There are plenty of openings hut labor hasn't sought rep resentation. When labor does become a pad uf these committees, it has been my ex perience that labor representatives arc wel come and oiler valuable conti ibulious.

Until local union leadership pushes accident pi evcutioii, the man on the job will continue to be unconcerned. Mr. IVhittlninse: Let us not overlook the fact lhat many international laboi organiza tions do not have a safely director or safety deparlna ul bor them, the In st thing they can do is establish such a department and staff. (('oiujiirnt fiom the liuor, by Joseph Leo nard)-- Ihe Longshoremen's union installid accident prevention activities in the Jnlciuational Union ullice and made il mandutniy that c.ti h local should have a safety piogram.

You cannot sell just once in a while. Ads lor new aulonmbiles do not occur once in a while. They arc publi>hed cunlinuou.nly. The same continuing sales pilch is necessary to keep a union safety program lolling. You have to work at it.* (Comment fruni Dob Wilkins)--I feel certain that the only way accident prevention can he effectively sold to union members and their families is through effective de monstrations. Demonstrative presentations stick in a persons mind much longer and are more effective in changing habits and atti tudes. Films are one method of demonstrat ing what can be done to avoid accidents or reduce Inwards. Of course, this requires more lime in preparing safety presentations ami oftentimes costs money. 1 am sure that all of you will agree that lake Cold docs an outstanding job of teach ing accident prevention to people from all walks of life and you will notice that ho uses demonstrations wherever possible. With reference to tbc continuing complaint that management cannot get tbc cooperation of the union or the men when they wish lo initiate a certain type of accident pre vention program, the primary reason for this difficulty is the fact that management feels that the safely program is lint oidy their responsibility, but that it is their privilege to develop and enforce it as they see fit. These types of procedures often run into difficulty because most people resist some thing that is forced upon them. However, must people are willing to cooperate with practically any project or program if they have some voice in the maimer in which the project or program is developed. As an example, if management wauls to initiate a safety-spectacle program, it is extremely helpful if they will ask the union to appoint two or three representatives to sit with management and develop the pro gram which will later become mandatory. When this cooperation is enjoyed from be ginning to end, the progiam will always he a success because both parlies feel that the program was developed properly, and both parties will cooperatively assist in see ing to it that the program is pul into elfcet. Regarding the question of what labor can do about industrial hygiene problems, I be lieve that if the state labor department or other concerned organizations cannot provide industrial hygiene peiM'iiuci to study situa tions believed lo he hazardous by (he union, then the union should hav e the oppoi (unity to hire it's own consulting industrial hygien ist to study the situation and give an un biased report. This should satisfy the desires of the union membership and should assist in avoiding hazardous situations which may he overlooked by management. (Comment from the floor by Mr. Fhilo) --If you don't mim), I would like to say something in general about a problem we, as lawyers, have in representing injured people. 1 have been interested in one very important area of safely and 1 refer to suits against manufacturers of machinery or safety equipment that result in an injury to a worker. Our position is not aided by the existence of weak standards and weak positions by local and international unions. In particular, I have dining the past year presented eases of 37 workers who have lost hands in power presses. I have just spent some time in the l'owcr Press and Forging Section sessions, listening to speak ers on points of operation guarding. It is my opinion that about 50,000 presses in the United Slates are guarded by a trap instead of a safety device. These are the pull-back guards. 1 think it is predictable that a work er who operates a press equipped with these pull-back devices for 30 years is bound to lose a baud. I represent some clients who have lost both hands. I don't believe that the National Safety Council is ever going to suggest that Ihc pull-back devices are unsafe, 'i bis is prob ably because the Power Press ami Forgings Section basically represents industry and management. However, the unions can and should do something about this situation. They ought to gel these devices banned in every stale in the country. The pull-back devices violate (lie two principles of power press safety. First, every device or guard must have a fail safe mechanism; second, the worker's hands should never be placed between the dies when the machine is run ning. General Motors, Fold, and Chrysler will not use these pull-back devices on any of their thousands of pi esses. They recognize Labor .V,\uiui. they arc a trap. It is the smaller simps which do not have effective accident preven tion engineering in the plant, where these devices exist. 1 recently talked to a corporate safety director who I thought, should know heller. However, his company is being advertised a$ having pull-back type guards on power presses in several of its plants, 'i hc cor porate safety director admitted (his was true, lie went on to say that this type of device was used in some plants because Ihc local union insisted on the pull-back devices. I believe that the local union safety per sonnel were undoubtedly good, conscientious safety people but were not safety sophisti cated. This point of operation guarding is a complex problem. Dr. Van sltta: What Mr. Fhilo says is perfectly tiuc. Fail safe design is partic ularly important when you're talking about power presses. It is true that there is no failure of a pull-back device which is a safe failure, k.vciv \ oma n'cable faitmc u a hazardous failmc.

It respiratory equipment assigned lo employees is not func tioning properly, it should be taken out of service nutil repaired. When it is necessary to ;i into pipelines or eii(mel >|i.uc\ where \eiml.uiun might he suspect, the lest safe guard is the use of electric or gasoline driven Lionels which ran move considerable volumes ci fresh air into such work loca tions. Important adjuncts to respiratory equip ment are two widely used pieces of airtcalin;' equipment, wheichy we ran deleiinim: the presence of explosive gases. 'I he smllcr, or explosive gas indicator, samples a portion of the ai. through a metal extension tube and hose, the presence ot explosive gases will be indicated on the instrument's easily read dial. This is all done without having to expose the worker to any hazard, because condition^ can he determined hcfoic euleiing a >u>pccicd aea. \\ hen working in pipelines or tunnels, the U .It V-i/./v I.ainft is often used as an ludu i|..( I .limn:.pht It- .

The indicator in this case is a small ilame, width is Mirinundcd by a graduated scale on die lamp chimney. Variations in the llamc indicate conditions of the air. if (he llamc prow, larger, it indicates Ihe presence of explosive ga.w.s; a decreasing flame indicates a deficiency of oxygen. Consequently, we imi't always remember that gas fiom a hr.d.m main or other source may seep into vaults or oilier underground structures with in a short period of time, and. by displacing the oxygen, can can>c asphyxiation. For work area protection, any employee aligned the duties of llngmau should wear a red vest, and cany a red llag and a hand paddle which will dearly show lib. intenr.ons when directing or controlling trahic.

Another available piece of protective equipment is the first aid kit. Its function is to prevent a minor injury from becoming ..rPu,; Ti,.

We must continue to learn and to teacli and we must not forget our people if we are to prevent accidents. We can summarize as follows: 1. We created an atmosphere of communi cations. 2. We accepted the philosophy of safely-- "Accidents Can Be Prevented". 3. We recognized and accepted our respon sibility in our organization. 4. We were motivated by accurately an swering the question, "What do 1 get out of safety?" 5. We created good personal relations n -4 ngh personal contact. 0 We reviewed vvoik t mnl.nnciitals by appl>ing the job hazard analysis system. 7. We improved woik methods through work simplification techniques. 8. We provided a method of programming tmiM'lvrs and "nr icmhiim'S, fur safe and cllicimi woik tluough PLKT. This program has provided us with a personal discipline, it has given us the con fidence and ability to successfully meet tl.t challenge of the future. We are learning how to work safely b> applying modem management techniques to our work problems. We know these tools CJQ be effective when applied to specific problems and presented at the proper level of com* prehension of the particular people involved, because the Dallas Division maintenance people worked 5i>4 days without a disabling injury, witli no disabling injuries in We 'have had one disabling injury in tit Bridge and Building Depai Uncut this year.
