Vs-I Health W ork in Small Plants By G LEN N S. E V E R T S , M. D. Beal Secretary, Philadelphia H ealth Council and Tuberculosis Committee, W'1 - Philadelphia, Pa. `.speaker said in part: A large majority of industrial wage earners in the States work in small plants; in fact, 98.7 per cent of the manufacturing estab- iints employ less than 500 people. However, it is only very recently that the jjjems, of the small plant and the small plant employee have been given any jn- iye.consideration comparable to that given the larger industries. In a survey of in the United States having medical departments, reported by the National Spence Board, less than 100 are plants employing fewer than 500 persons, and Y o f .the health services are very incomplete. ?t:;now recognized that the development of health service in smaller plants is irimary problem of industrial health today. T hat the need for such service is r ,Ily as urgent as in larger plants is shown by the fact that health examinations P5f.ed V1 smaH plants find less than 10 per cent of the workers free from physical ife;:most of them of a correctible character. ants with less than 500 employees have especial difficulties in establishing medical Cements. They do not have need for enough health work to justify an individual 45 / The material on this page was copied from the collection of the National Library of Medicine by a third party and may be protected by U.S. Copyright law.

' Safety Factors in A ir Transport and the Adaptation of | | ``Biind F lig h t" T raining to Schedule A irline Operation ' i'"1 By A. A. PR IEST E R Chief Engineer, Pan American Airways, Inc. |;The speaker said in part: Probably no other division of man's development of ' anical forces so graphically illustrates a conscious and sustained effort to solve bse, factors which affect its dependability, as does the progress of air transporta|p n l' It was born and has continued under enormous difficulties. In ordinary trans- we have two primary elements affecting its inherent dependability, the mechanilarid the personal. In air transportation you have an added third major element-- ,' weather. Yet by tremendous strides, and largely within the past few years, the plane has grown from a comparatively isolated experiment to a highly developed nnsport mechanism. Here in the Americas, for example, American aircraft inned by American crews cover 54,000 miles of regular airways, flying 24,000,000 gules on scheduled service every year, carrying close to half a million passengers and ng every important American city within the continental United States to the Qters of industry and population in every country but two between Alaska and rgentina. this is graphic testimonial to the progress of air transport--not so much in the ifvelopment of bigger airplanes; not in the improvements in mechanical design, as h ; not in the remarkable advancements in speed; but rather does it reflect the in fef- in obtain ised te cing ma iny of tl aere is,,iv -ially in.j isciplin , there ,isl the ve less ab iy asso iority o|J in the p perienceJL in these ) ' know * ce process! aling witl ' ' '" i'J fy^FIRST ANNUAL SAFETY CONGRESS u S.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SESSION October 4, 1932 The first session of the Power Press Section convened in the Wardman-Park Hotel, with General Chairman W alter J.

Our aim as a section is to make the metal stamping industry a non-hazardous one, he said. This is not a wild dream, because many metal stamping plants are already in that class, and if one plant can so manage its affairs others can do so. I believe that the most important accomplishment to this time lies in the changed mental attitude of management.

B. Boulet, Wisconsin Public Service Company, Milwaukee,. Wisconsin, presiding. The Chairman sketched briefly several of the more serious! problems confronting public utilities in these difficult times. He then asked Secretary!; Howard M. Shaw, North American Light & Power Company, Chicago, to report! on the work of the Executive Committee and other standing committees. This being! briefly complied with, Chairman Boulet then introduced the first speaker. E ighty-F ive Per Cent Supervision and Education Necessary^ to Make Safety a Success By W. O. LeBER Safety Inspector, Canadian National Railways, Montreal, Quebec, Canada The speaker said in p a rt: As men who are engaged in accident prevention work, we will all admit that placing the responsibility on the officer in charge is a cardinalprincipal of safety. We all know that the officer in charge is not only the keystone of the organization but he is the interpreter of the wishes and policies of the man-, agement to the men. However, we go further than this cardinal requisite and sayj that to make this movement a success the vice-president, the president and the board of directors must be behind the officer in charge. Safety must be sold throughout the whole organization. Safety must start from the top--safety, of course, sponsored by the management,, because it has been repeatedly said that neither enthusiasm nor support of any com-^ pany policy will ever boil up from the bottom; if it ever permeates the warp and.^ woof of any organization it must percolate down from the top. The ranking offkeTi of any organization must himself be intensively interested in safety work to inspire., and lead his men to earnest individual and collective efforts in the endeavor for:1 their own protection as well as for the protection of others. If any officer in charge elects to assume an attitude of indifference and fails _ to see that each accident is reported immediately and the necessary investigation; conducted to determine whether or not it resulted from carelessness or any other,, violation of safety or operating rules, and if so, to see that corrective measures are administered to prevent repetition of a similar accident, he is not fulfilling the obliga-. tion that is placed upon him and can only expect his organization to have a poor, safety performance. Experience has taught us that when an individual fails to ; respond to persuasion, there is but one alternative, that is productive of results, and that is discipline. Rigid enforcement of all safety rules and regulations symbolizes the devotion of men to their fellows, and justifies the noble resolve to save them, in so far as possible, from accident and death. Now, how is educational work best done? We all know that safe men are men tgu many should be 'Pressions 'se views eful con-c underession of _ Funda'iewpoint = limited 'elusions can be `Hization sion for rcement e group ance of iich rete relaeed for rather opportgroup , ' t them >vering to be , 1 procnowlinking operly ipporthinks their sually ^TWENTY-FIRST a n n u a l s a f e t y c o n g r e s s NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL Quarry Section Officers 1931-32 General Chairman--J ohn P rince, Stewart Sand and Material Co., Kansas City, Mo.

This report in part was as follows: "Employment in the quarrying and related industries was more than 30 per cent lower than the previous year's level, according to records covering identical com panies that were active in both years. These companies represented 9,300,000 man hours of employment in 1931.
