KOLB --Si Director, Department of Industrial Relations, National Metal Chicago An adequate program of industrial safe ty cannot be established and successfully maintained without a comprehensive study of company policies, practices, equipment, and personnel, and a subse quent adjustment of such factors to con form to desirable standards. In many cases safety programs have failed to function effectively because com pany policies (1) were so limited in scope as to be quite inadequate and too often have been treated as matters of expe diency, (2) were confusing to line or staff officers because delegated authority and responsibility were not definitely defined and allocated, and (3) were seldom prop erly transmitted to all employees in well written, easily understood language. Too often a subordinate officer who was interested in enlarging his sphere of activities, hoping to attract the attention of his superiors, has been permitted to work unassisted in the development of safety programs.

SHAW [0t?hee tchaeniasdte! Manager, Safety and Service Department, Hercules Powder Co., Wilmington, Idtement. It is difficult to separate the funda mentals of safety that every chemical worker should know from those that every industrial worker should know. At times, the dividing line is thin. There fore, in discussing those things that the chemical worker should know in order to work safely, we shall have to include general as well as specific safety measures. The chemical worker should appreciate that we must breathe a certain mixture of nitrogen and oxygen in the form of pure air. That is what our organs are equipped for, and when we introduce anything into the atmosphere to change its composition, we affect life's process more or less. It is true that the human body has an im mense amount of adaptability and that immunity can be relied upon in some in stances to a remarkable extent; however, we should stick to the simple funda mental that nature provided for us in a normal way and we should be normal in our living. The "rules of the game" given the chemical worker are very complete in anticipating all possible hazards, thereby giving him the maximum possible prot(|i tion. Every chemical worker should oSij serve these rules religiously to avo poisoning, burns, suffocation, or injury,|f| an explosion. This brings us to another point: WhSF(J selecting chemical workers we shoali choose men not only of good health, butof j good common sense; if possible should have at least the equivalent of high school training so that they wS | understand their instructions and tB#. reasons therefor. Here are safety items that every ind trial and chemical worker should knowIsjjJ 1. A chemical worker should be thor oughly familiar with the location and nil' of water hydrants, safety shower bath^, fire blankets, exits, and fire fighting equi0|. ment. He should be shown through tb* medical or first aid department and under stand the importance of reporting prompt ly for first aid treatment for injury_r*J, suiting from contact with any chenncaj j as well as for physical injuries. He shout be trained in first aid and his training reviewed at least every three years.

Addresses will given as follows: Construction Safety Ain't Different By G. O. GRIFFIN Safety Director, Dravo Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa. The construction industry in 1935, out of 30 major industries, ranked twentyseventh in accident frequency and twentyninth in severity; and the only excuse that was ever given is, "Well, we're different." We aren't different! It's just an alibi. The cement, quarry and paj^j utilities industries contain many ha similar to those of the construction^ dustry, yet each has a superior accide rate.

SINCLAIR Plant Superintendent, Kingan & Co., Indianapolis, Ind. When I talked to you last year, most of our safety program was in its infancy. Now we have definite proof that our Five Point Program has shown results. It can be summarized as follows: 1. Making every effort to provide me chanical guards and safety equipment so that our plant is as safe a working place as humanly possible. 2. Making a careful selection of em ployees for the job. 3. Taking the story of safety to our employees through our Employee Repre sentation Plan. 4. Taking the story of safety to lf ^ employees through our supervisory fore*/ 5. And finally, coordinating all by cooperation of management in the in t|p ests of safety. The mechanical guards, safety shoi^jj arm guards, wire mesh gloves are noW*,|fmuch a part of the job that old-tintetlvj forget to complain and accept them standard equipment. Our safety directOfj.| is always looking for those who do use the guards provided and also lookup for hazards that have escaped notice.

The Executive Committee in its annual report stated that the activities of the section had been coordinated with those of the Industrial Safety Equipment Association to eliminate duplication of effort and to make sure that all desired activities were being carried on by one organization or the other. A set of by-laws had been prepared for governing the activities and procedure of the Section. Action had also been taken to abandon the monthly news letter of the Section, since the Industrial Safety Equipment Association has been conducting a bulletin service for members.

Point of Operation Guards in the Wood Products Industry By O. C. B O ILEA U Safety Engineer, RCA Manufacturing Company, Inc., Camden, N. J. The best and most practical guard you can have at the point of operation is the man himself. I admit that mechanical guarding prevents accidents of human failure--but what causes the human to fail? Three words can answer that ques tion. The need of better (1) planning; (2) education; and (3) enforcement. Let's say, for an example, that you are planning a new layout of rearrangement of equipment in your wood-working shop. You should give careful study to such items as light and exhaust systems. W ho is there who will deny that light, beside enabling work to be seen better and done better, hazards observed and therefore avoided--also adds to better housekeep ing conditions, which all have to do with reducing the point of operation hazard? It goes a step further--it promotes better working conditions and, last but not least, helps to relieve or avoid mental strain. An efficient exhaust system is one of the most important point of operation ac cident prevention equipments that can be had in any wood-working plant. Let's take shapers for an example. Hoods can be so designed that they are part of the guard, thereby taking away all waste material and leaving the table clear for work, which gives a safe working con dition. No man can work safely through a cloud of wood dust or cuttings. To give you an idea what the RCA Manu facturing Company uses for exhaust sys tem in our accident, fire, and health pro gram--it consists of 4 fans 52,000 c.f.m. each....... 208,000 c.f.m. 4 " 75,000 " " ...300,000 2 " 10,000 " " . . . 20,000 1 " 25,000 " it . . . 25,000 making a grand total of 553,000 c.f.m. The dust and air are then carried into 4 arresters which have a total of 860 screens, and it takes 2235 h.p. to operate this system. Today we all are trying to manufacture our product at the lowest price possible. Elimination of operations is part of plan ning in design of product. Every time we eliminate an operation that is dangerous or an accident breeder, we do two things: (a) Prevent an accident; (b) Reduce cost of product. Where operations cannot be eliminated, fixtures or forms should be designed so that the operator's hands are away from the point of operation.
