More and m ore organization officials anl safety engineers have conic to realize that safely standards, if they arc to he truly effective, m ust he developed and used on a national basis. Individual, group ami regional safety standards have been generally outgrown. W h ere they arc retained beyond their lime, confusion, cost and danger can result. We believe that we ra n perform a great scrvict by seeing that A m erican S tandards Asso ciation safety standards are w ritten into mir contracts so as to help bring about nation wide uniform ity. S tate-by-sfatc competition in blood m ust slop! General Sessions (.1 Most of our industries arc interstate.

M ainly to bring about complete cooperation and safety that uill re sult in m utual well-being --for inanrigcuu nt, for government and for labor. It is a national Crime that tlie<c safely standards are not universally applied. We are all responsible, all of ns manag un til, governm ent and labor. Most plants have not voluntarily applied Am erican S tandards As sociation safety standards. Most stales that have the authority to adopt safety stand irds have mH done the com plete Job.

It can and vull he done! D iscu ssion A fter brief opening rem arks and an introduction of the members of the panel, the presiding officer, F rank JJurkc, threw the meeting open to questions from the floor. Question: Did Morcell speak for industry as a whole or fo r his own particular plant (Jones & l.ntighiin) in hts W ednesday morning speech? Answ er (B u rke): In my opinion he was Speaking as an Am erican citizen, and every thing he said was absolutely true. Question ( U S W foundryntan): Silicosis is a m ajor problem in our plant. W e find getting inform ation about and aid in this problem is difficult. W hat, if anything, can be done ? A nrtver: Ib irk e stated that in 1918 he had a special assignm ent from P hilip M urray to go to O ntario to study lite value of ahiminothcrapy in the treatm ent of silicosis. He found no conclusive evidence that aluininothcrapy was beneficial. H e brought out that the American Medical Association looks unfavorably upon aluininothcrapy. All.in-.Mii added licit Minin--. |,y tin- ull known Hr. l.auzo Concluded that alnitiuioIhcrapy was unacceptable. O ther com m ents: Good ventilation is the best solution to (he silicosis problem. Research should he con tinued. Question: W hat authority has the safely committee in the plant? //n.rav/*: U tte r slated that it depends on how w ell it is pinned down in the contra-!, and that it is a definite contract rcqnitcm rnt. H ow ever, even if it is not in (lie contract, it should not he ignored. C om m ent fro m floor: One difficulty (hat safely com m ittees have frequently, is grtling management to act on recommendations within a reasonable length of time. (.'ounnent--A tk in s o n : Official position of I\V A is that no committer- o r council |i:o. anv aullioiily within the oi|-ani/aliou.

Comment--Burke: Steel w orkers have the contractual right to refuse to work with unsafe equipment, hut cannot pass on advice or influence a relief man to refuse to w ork with unsafe equipment or in n hazardous situation. Comment--Ktunpcl: C ontracts (lifter in the various industries. . . . Frequent procedure in his union-- Recommendations arc passed on to the foreman. If a hazardous situation is not corrected a fte r a reasonable length o f tim e forem an is called before the safety committee, ff recommendations still not earned out, a grievance may he tiled. Comment -- A tkinson: S afety should he kept away from grievance procedure. Vertfuson: It is necessary to lake sa fely through grievance procedures so that the safety committee may have definite powers and responsibilities. In U M W the safely committee has the right to inspect and to make recommendations for correction of hazardous situations to management. Man* ngemem is required to carry out the recom mendations. Brow n: In th e IB P M 's W est C oast pro gram, the safety committee has the right to discuss and make recommendations. If these are not acted upon, the safety com mittee has the right to push grievance as far as possible. (Jnestion: In most conn acts reference is made to "safely and health," however, many companies limit the safety director o r safety committee to safety only. For instance, not licing able to make a recommendation on washrooms. W hy? A nrw er: Hurkc quoted wording front steel workers' contract, which is worded-- . . eliminate accident and health hazards/' He then asked for comment from tfic members of the panel. Create: TAM contracts do not specify how safety committee will operate. They work out their own procedure. They deal with both safety and health problems. D is agreem ents m ay be taken through grievance procedure. Brown: In the IB P M program employees nd mnnageme*'* attend yearly regional con- rrrnccs at v safety education, accident prevention, fi. .ml training, etc., etc., arc given thorough study. These conferences are an excellent source of suggestions and ideas for the safety program. . . . T he safety committee is divorced entirely from griev ance committee, although lack of cooperation by m anagem ent on safely problems can be taken to grievance procedure. A tk in so n : S tated that his job w as to sell accident prevention to his own people. Stated that management was cooperating . beautifully. Joint effort of employee, man agem ent and government has resulted in a 66 per cent drop in accidents since inception of safety program. W orkers have maximum workm en's compensation benefits. , , . The safety eonm liner functions on every opera tion. S afely and health g o together, amt in his industry, dining rooms, washrooms, sm oking rooms, drinking fountains have been secured because of the excellent co operation of the employers, who have dem onstrated to management how important sa fety s. . . . F or a safety program to be successful, the managers and supervisors m ust he sa fely conscious. Jlisl flic people who can prevent accidents arc the people that accidents happen to. I'ertjuson: Said there w as not sufficient time to tell the whole program . T he safety division in the U M W is a straight line or ganization. . . . T h ere is a safety committeeman in every mine. . . . Education in injury an d d eath (th e y d o n 't like the term accident) > prevention is a m ajor part of the union's prograui. . . . In some instances, legislation is sought to correct hazardous conditions. K inn pet: H is union's program of safety and com pensation has been going on for about 12 years. . . . T h e safety committee . has at least three representatives o f union, i: management has equal representation. . . . W eekly inspection trips arc made. . . .

Sm aller plants are a m ajo r concern of the IIA W . Som e have i (,,'Herat Sessions hj poor management, and consequently little or no safety program . Som etim es the estab lishment of an active sa fe ty com m ittee in these problem plants can m ake management aware of safety. . . . Safety clauses are written into contracts--to . . provide safe place of work, com ply w ith sta te law s am! regulations T h e sa fe ty program is similar to others (hat have been discussed here. There is heavy emphasis on education and training. . . . T hey concentrate on pub lic relations--let new spapers, radio, general public, television, etc., know about safety awards and records. Morales: T he safely com m ittee o f the Baltimore Federation o f lahor has been very successful pushing favorable legisla tion. It has been iuiluciitial in having the state safety division set up as one unit. Other things committee helped to accom plish--Labor Dept, can now adopt safety codes by reference. . . .

O ne problem with the building trades is that sometimes a job is finished b efo re accident h az a rd s have been corrected, although called to builder's atten tion previously. , . . S afety com m ittee is set tip in the contract. Stew ard is safety repre sentative o f union. O n larger jobs stew ard is full-time. . . . T h e com pany is privileged to hold safety m eetings once a week. If it doesn't take advantage o f this, the union holds the meeting. Rurke: The safety and health clause is the most.,im|K>itaut clause in the contract. Question: W hat can be lone when a fte r a year or two recommendations by the safely enm m iuee have still not been aeltd upon ? K u m fc t: M ake a direct request 1 the sta te labor departm ent to step in. Q uestion: W hen faced with safely tecumm cudatiotis, m anagem ent sometimes raises the question of economy as a reason for not carry in g out recom m endations. W ln t nlunit this? /Insurer: S tatistics show (lint money spent on safety is m oney gained in the long run. S afely is good fo r economy. Point this out to m anagem ent. M ake them aw are of it. Question: Should company reports of ac cidents he m ade available to the safety com m ittee ? Greene: Yes. T hey're absolutely necessary if you're going to correct hazards. sttkinson: O ur safety committees have access It all accident records. U tter: T h ey 've available to our comm ittees at all times. 'crptisnit: In the m ines (his is covered by law. Uurke: T his is something on which poli cies v ary w ith th e com pany. It is a right you should fight for. Go to the slate de partm ent of labor if necessary. Question: Should something he written into the contract about the right to have access to company accident reports? G reene: Y ou can 't negotiate safety iulo any contract. T h e company will recognize w hat you do, n ot w hat's w ritten. Show by nrtiou the im portance o f *nfr|y to both em ployee and em ployer.
