Occupational Health and Safety In the absence of Don Bradshaw, Chairman of the Committee on Occupational Health and Safety, who was attending a meeting of the AICWS region, the report of this Committee was presented by Gordon Harrison as follows: Occupational health must be solved by using a basic product that does not cause a health hazard and we should encourage the manufacturers to develop such "safe" products, even to the extent of refusing to handle high risk products. We should encourage annual physicals for our men with x-rays every five years for new men and every two years for 10-20 year men. General discussion followed with 3111 Bayer stating that their group had tried to get satisfaction from the manufacturers and had made little progress. Thus, IDCNA must do it - must take the lead. It was felt that education was most important in solving this problem and also em phasised a need for the Industry Fund now being discussed. - 2- PRODUCED JM -83 OUTLOOK President Gibbons then asked for discussion on the business carried over from the Sunday meeting regarding OUTLOOK, stating that they had all had time to review the report.

A question was raised as to whether the International could make a ruling that would set a precedent throughout the country and it was suggested that the Associations's legal counsel and the labor legal counsel should jointly interpret any ruling by the union setting a nation-wide precedent.
