Medical Director, Union Health Service, Inc., Chicago I would like to quote from a famous writer his description of a ''modem" com munity : It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed them selves for ever and ever, and never got un coiled. It had a black canal in it. and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye. and vast piles of buildings full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston .of the steam engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an. elephant In a state of melancholy madness.

During the problem."* The number of chemical materials man is being exposed to is increasing constantly.

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 are 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 Stokinger, of the Public Health Service, points out that: 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 posed to this group of chemicals for many years. They have known for many years the severe headaches this chemical causes. For years, also, we have heard reports of sudden deaths among workers exposed to nitroglycerin. We do know that this . . . our experieni. . with occupational lung diseases makes It difficult to escape the con clusion that all dusts. Irrespective of their nature.

These Cancer Occupational cancer is one of our most can damage the liver and the kidneys. The chemicals known as aromatic amines, repre sented by beta napthylamine, used in the serious problems. It also provides us with a remarkable opportunity to study cancer in general. The first breakthrough in the manufacture of dye and other commodi ties, have been proven to cause cancer of the urinary bladder. The central nervous system--that is, the brain and spinal cord mystery of cancer came with the discovery of an occupational cancer.

The alert doctor will be years we have known that an excessive able to correlate the occupational history number of uranium miners in Europe have with the physical findings and symptoms and died of lung cancer. (Recent studies in decide whether the patient is suffering from our own uranium mines reveal dangerously an occupational disease. high exposures.*) Since then numerous other chemicals, in addition to ionizing radiation, have been demonstrated to be capable of causing, or contributing to the development of. cancer in various parts of the body. Some examples are beta naphthalamine, which I mentioned earlier, causing cancer of the urinary blad der, coal tars which can cause cancer of the skin, chromates which cause cancer of the lung, and many others. Recent studies have focused suspicion of lung cancer hazards in the work of welders, sheet metal workers and other metal workers. Very few occupational diseases produce such characteristic symptoms that they can be readily identified as an occupational dis ease. After all, the body can react to harm ful stimuli only in a limited number of ways. For example, a worker may have severe pains in his abdomen. These might be caused by appendicitis or by lead poison ing. Leukemia may result from unknown causes or from exposure to X-rays. A person suffering a certain type of paralysis may have multiple sclerosis, a disease of as yet unknown cause, or it could be man ganese poisoning. The person who has a Skin Diseases Skin diseases are, as you know, the most frequent type of occupational disease which we see. Most of them result from direct irritation by chemical or physical agents. A smaller number result from an allergic cough, shortness of breath, and is losing weight, may have tuberculosis, silicosis, berylliosis or cancer of the lungs.

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 those states where there is reporting, it is incomplete and not uniform. Moreover, we know that numerous `occupational diseases are not rec ognized because of medical ignorance, de ficiency in medical education, deficiencies in workmen's compensation laws and health and (5) Medical protection: This includes first safety laws. aid facilities and a medical department. Every worker should have a periodic physi cal examination, not for the purpose of dis qualifying him for work, but for the pur pose of detecting disease early so that prompt measures can be taken to protect his 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 modem medi cal care. Unions throughout the nation are obtaining such care through collective bar gaining. Union health centers and other Health services in many private industrial plants are inadequate, and most workers are employed in small plants where such services are not provided. According to the Public Health Service, 90 per cent of the labor force is not receiving proper industrial hygiene and health services. The governmental agencies, federal, state and local, which are charged with responsi bility for protecting the health of workers, are tor the most part grossly inadequate in their resources and services. They suffer from lack of funds, personnel and even from lack of authority. At least seven of our states have no occupational health units plans, such as Health Insurance Plan of in their health or labor departments, and Greater New York and the cooperative health plans, arc attempting to bring good care, including preventive medicine, to work ing people. in all of the state occupational health agen cies in the entire country, there are less than 40 physicians employed. There is no uniformity of industrial health codes and (6) Plant health and safety committees: Every place of work should have a com mittee of representatives of the workers standards, and the states differ in the haz ards regulated and in their regulations for the same hazards. concerned with the health protection of the There is a serious and .growing shortage men and women in the plant.

Public Health 10 Labor Safety Service, estimates that by 1970, industry will need 4800 physicians, but is expected to have only 2900; while 35,000 industrial nurses will be needed, but only 26,000 are expected; and 3400 industrial hygienists will be needed, but only 1600 are expected. Workmen's Compensation Good workmen's compensation laws are basic to the health of industrial workers. Without strong workmen's compensation laws, it is difficult to see 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 are in almost all cases hopelessly behind the times. 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 date to permit equitable recognition and compensation for the injuries inflicted by radiation and chemical hazards which cause chronic diseases, usually after long latent periods between exposure and the first symptoms of disease. Two states still have no occupational dis ease coverage. Nineteen state laws cover only specified diseases. Most of the laws exclude farm work, domestic work and casual employment In over half the states, employees in small establishments which have less than a specified number of em ployees are excluded, and in 12 states the laws apply mainly to a list of "hazardous" employments. Many white collar workers are today excluded from the workmen's compensation laws. Research Hope for the Future Last year, a subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations under Congress man Fogarty conducted hearings on these problems. These are published in a "Report on Environmental Health Problems," avail able through the Government Printing Of fice.* It is interesting reading. These hear ings raised hope that better appropriations would be made to the Public 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, AEC, U. S. Public Health Service and the states, over jurisdiction in this field. At the moment, controls in this field are a patchwork with good programs in a few states like New York and California, but poor or almost non-existent programs in most others. The implications of all this should be obvious. Occupational health and workmen's compensation vitally and directly affect the health and life of working people. Yet the unions so far, for the most part, seem to be apathetic about this. Now that un ions are deeply involved in health insur ance, for the care of non-occupational dis eases, perhaps there will be a resurgence of interest in the environmental factors which affect our health. A few unions have begun to help them selves. Some have negotiated clauses in their collective bargaining agreements embodying a number of the preventive measures I outlined earlier, and have also asserted the .union's right to bring expert consultants into the plant. The level of our research in occupational 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 special needs by private industry. Governmental agencies sporadically have made excellent contribu tions, but their resources are 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 problems. The United Auto Workers has a depart ment of occupational health, staffed by two experts in safety and industrial hygiene. The International Association of Machinists has a medical consultant. The International Chemical Workers' Union also has a medi cal consultant and recently appointed a stall safety man. These people can be of great help to workers in providing them with expert knowledge and honest information. Obviously, however, every union cannot and should not hire its own corps of experts and set up its own research laboratories. We are dealing with big social problems, and they must be met socially. 11 OFFICERS OF THE PETROLEUM SECTION NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1961-62 General Chairman--Quincy V.

WENDEL Chairman, Bureau of Safety The Anaconda Company Butte, Mont. The initial reception and response to the first Script-Slide production by the Visual I-iducation Committee in 1959, "Safety in Open Pit Operations," indicated the need for additional similar Mining Section service projects. During 1961 the Visual Educa tion Committee has been quite active and has accomplished the following objectives: 1. Produced a Script-Slide series of 101 colored 35 mm slides with a suggested script on Underground Haulage Safety. cable and makes it convenient to separate the slides into a series of shorter presenta tions. The script may also be altered or changed as desired. The National Safety Council plans again to have several sets of this program avail able for free use by member organizations on a request basis as a Council service. Du plicate sets of slides were available imme diately following the preview at the 1961 National Safety Congress. 2. Submitted a series of 12 posters to the National Safety Council for consideration in producing a series of posters for the Mining Section's Falls of Ground Campaign in 1962. 3. Recommended changes on the series of four Accident Preventers, used in the pre vious Falls of Ground Campaign, to produce a new series for the 1962 campaign. 4. Submitted pictures and posters to the Newsletter editor. 5. Sent a questionnaire to Mining Section member organizations to determine future visual education needs. 6. Developed and produced a Script-Slide program for the 1962 Falls of Ground cam paign. 7. Cooperated with other Mining Section committees on committee projects. Active members of the Visual Education Committee during 1961 were: H. A. Wendel--Chairman; A. W. Ness--American Smelting and Refining Company.

Because heavy equipment-- motors, cars and trucks -- are operated in narrow tunnels, often at considerable speeds, there naturally are a number of hazards we must know about and guard against. As in all places where safety is important we can avoid or eliminate the hazards if we know what they are and where danger exists. This series of pictures we are presenting today show some of these dangers and how accidents and possible injuries can be pre vented. Not only motor crews are involved in haulage safety but also everyone who works on the level, especially along or near haulage ways. You will notice that the pictures show different types of haulage equipment, some with trolley locomotives and others with battery powered locomotives. Some of the pania Minera de Cananea, S.A_, de C-V_ Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, and Morgan Wadsworth--American Metals Climax, Cli max, Colorado. The Script-Slide program on Underground Haulage Safety consists of a total of 101 colored 35 mm slides. This type of visual education material allows a mine organiza tion to use or delete any slides not appli men pictured are wearing safety glasses in addition to hard hats and safety shoes as some operations require all employees on surface and underground to wear safety glasses. . .And, although some of the equipment may look strange to you the same hazards exist here at our operations and result in the same kind of accidents and injuries. 12 1961 National Safety Congress ' particular job. General safety programs will not suffice as conditions on one project are foreign to conditions on the other. While progress is the most important part of every project, progress without safety is, foolhardy and safety without claim supervi sion is too costly. In many cases the hu mane element is lacking and the injured man becomes a compensation number. We firmly believe that it is very essential that every man injured should know that management is interested in his getting bet ter and back on the job. We make it our business to see every man who has a lost time accident to inform him of his compen sation rights and our help. We consider this an important element in safety work. Over the years we have found it necessary to attend compensation hearings on all seri ous and phony cases. We not only help to save thousands of dollars but do a great deal to straighten out cases that could hang oo indefinitely, because we feel that usually the injured man never gets enough to com pensate him for a real serious injury and usually we can suggest to the carrier that certain procedures be waived and the man be given additional help. We also invite the compensation personnel to the job so that they may get a first-hand picture of the entire operation. Each month we get out a bulletin in which we give our progress figures at each loca tion and we discuss each lost time accident, also listing our frequency and severity rec ords. This keeps every man on the job in formed as to why they should work safely and to prove to them that they are per sonally the losers every time they get hurt, bringing home to them that they cannot af ford to have an accident It also makes them feel that they arc an important part of the job. SAFETY ASPECTS ON THE USE OF MECHANICAL RAISE CLIMBERS By LEONARD P. COLVIN . Asst Research Engineer, The Anaconda Company, Butte. Mont Mining companies are intensely interested in new equipment to help increase produc tion, lower costs, and improve working con ditions. The mechanical raise climber con tributes to all three goals. Properly used, it will increase production, cut costs and has a number of important safety aspects which are the subject of this discussion. The raise climber is an elevator that elimi nates timbering while driving a raise. It facilitates the movement of men and ma terials safely to and from the working face and provides a platform to make work at the face easier and safer. An extensive time study of Butte raise climbing operations showed that a greater percentage of the mining cycle is spent in effecting the direct advancement of the raise, with much work required in our conventional raises being eliminated. As a result, the raise climber has cut the mining cycle time required to less than half. Lifting large timbers, installing bulkheads, drill stagings, lining chutes and climbing ladders are ele ments not present in climber-driven raises. While the raise climber does away with many of.the usual hazards of raising, others in connection with the climber operation liave developed. Proper ventilation of climber raises; the correct design of storage room for the climber and equipment; and the type of mucking or raise chute lay-out are of prime consideration in the prevention of ac cidents. The climber is considered an elevator and should be maintained as one. Miners and maintenance men must be trained to follow a daily and weekly lubrication and inspec tion schedule. Daily testing and inspection of the safety brakes is essential. Through experience wd have added and changed some mechanical features of our raise climbers. Raise climber manufacturers are also constantly trying to improve the 22 OFFICERS OF THE MINING SECTION NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1961-62 General Chairman--Al Kolu, Pickands Mather & Co., Dulmh, Minn.
