INTRODUCTION
u '-i Jl/C S
THIS manual on occupational disease hazards and inspection procedure has been prepared for the sole use of employee; of The Employ ers' Group. While in the possession of any em ployee. it is to be maintained in good condition and kept up-to-date by the revision and correction pages that will be issued from time to time. Upon the termination of employment with The Employ ers' Group, the employee to whom this manual is charged must return it to his immediate superior. Loss of this hook will require a payment of $5.00 by the person to whom the hook is assigned.
It is not intended that this manual will he a complete story of occupational disease or hazards. Obviously, it would require a book of some size to present this subject in complete detail. Neither is it intended that the information with regard to any hazard or industry explained in this man ual is all that can be said about that hazard or industry. The idea of presenting the material contained herein is to give you a general outline of uniform procedure, and direct your thoughts and inspection methods to the most important phases of the subject. It ou already have consider able information and literature upon this subject, and the present manual will serve to supplement and consolidate that information.
The first portion of this manual gives a gen eral discussion of the principal occupational dis ease hazards, together with generally accepted methods of control. This is followed by more detailed information with respect to dust hazards and information about the various toxic gases, vapors, and solvents.
The balance of the manual is given over to a discussion of individual workmen's compensation classifications subject to occupational disease haz ards. tozether with a discussion of the individual industries. The industries and classifications have -been grouped accordine to the various schedules which bring together industries of smilar types or industries with similar hazards. If a risk is known bv its classification number, it can be quickly found bv referring to the schedule number. If the risk is known only by it; classification descrip tion. it can be found bv ascertaining the schedule number under which it is included.
All occupational disease inspections are to he reported on the special occupational disease haz
ard report which has the form number G 964 Rev. It should he kept clearly in mind that this form is essentially a guide to follow, and it may not necessarily provide enough room to accommodate all of the information, that -should be gathered in any particular risk. WhHe unnecessarily lent in spection reports are not wanted, it is absolutely essential that the hazards, exposure and condition of each risk be given in sufficient detail so that the Home Office can competently pass on the mer its of each case. For this reason the reports should be accompanied by manuscript.s'neets that thoroughly cover all important parts of the in spection results. It is of particular importance that the individual hazards he detailed by de partments; that the number of employee; exposed to each hazard in each department be given in complete detail; that a complete statement is given of corrective measures already in use and those that you have recommended, and there should be given the general attitude of the as sured. It should be borne in mind that the real purpose of the report is to give a complete pic ture of the hazardous operations to a person or persons who have ne'er seen this particular plant.
Inspection work of `his kind requires common sense, accuracv and care m reporting conditions as they actually exist. Reports that are submitted as a result of superficial inspections or poorlyformed opinions are valueless. Recommendations that are poorly conceived or that are not based on facts or the existence of real hazards, can no: only result in high expense, to an assured, bu: may aggravate the conditions for w-hich correc tion is desired. Ee careful that recommendations to prevent an occupational disease hazard do not introduce a fire or accident hazard. If you are not sure as to what should be done in any partic ular instance, report the details immediately to the Ho me Office.
It is of particular importance that close con tact be maintained with the Claim and Lnaerwritinn Departments. Investigation; of real or alleaed occupational disease claims should be conOD-ci to ensineennc matter =. All questions of medical examinations or treatment of existing emplovees of an assured should be re'.erred to the Claim Department, and not discussed with an as sured.

Occupational disease Hazards dj various kinds do epcist beyond any question of doubt. At the same time these hazards can vary greatly in .fre quency and severity of occurrence. In all in stances where individuals are concerned there is the que-siion of individual susceptibility "which may cause one to be misled. The fact that certain individuals have worked in a condition or location for a period of yean that appears to be extremely hazardous, without anv apparent til effects. is not a skn that no hazard exists. Certain indi viduals with greater physical resistance, or pos sessing natural or acquired immunity may work for years in a location which would he extremely dangerous for another individual. This condition is apt to exist in smaller shops where not enough men are employed to zive a good general average. In the same way, some people are overly suscep tible and the wrong impression might be obtained as to the actual hazard in any industry, due to
one or two cases in one small shop. However, it
hisaznaercdesssaasrythteov
consider concern
the the
voecrcvuApsautsicoenpatlibldeisepaesre
son. From an engineering standpoint, it is neces
sary to make sure that the dust, fume or zas con
centration is maintained at such a point that no
one is affected. It is not sufficient to maintain
working conditions so that only ten or fifteen per
cent of those exposed are affected.
Events of the past few years have demon
strated that with respect to the entire subject
there has been much misinformation pasaed
around and a tendency to either overemphasize
or underemphasize the seriousness of these haz
ards. The matter has been lurcher complicated
bv the existence of " rackets'' and. oftentimes,
false claims. From an engineering standpoint, the
only view to take is one that can be based on
facts as they are known to exist, and avoid
misrepresentation.

iioni dust containing free silica and serecite (white mical although no inorganic dust should he con sidered as non-hazardous until definitely proved so.
Asbestosis is a disease, in some respects similar to silicosis, caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres. Its clinical features include the slow de velopment of a characteristic tvpe of fibrosis Ifibrous tissue!. Because asbestos dust consists of fiures. it does not penetrate as deeplv into the lungs as does silica dust. and. instead of killing the migrating cells l.phagocvtesl it lodges in the walls of the bronchioles 'air passages i producing fibrous tissue which tends to constrict these pas sages. Infections, such as tuberculosis, are not so frequent as with silicosis. Asbestos fibres may constrict the blood vessels in the lungs, resulting in an overtaxed heart and heart trouble. An indi vidual may be free from symptoms for a number of years, although exposure of a very few years has produced definite symptoms. The prevention of asbestosis must he accomplished through dust control measures.
