In of the principles I shall advocate applied to flight accident records TGvil Aeronautics Administration. sCOmpany which has paid little or no to safety is likely to answer any ^regarding its accident record by the --"We don't have any accidents." __ r inquiry usually reveals two rear this statement: either there are no trade, or there is no understanding accidents should be counted. This >my first topic--accident definitions dent rates. Since the beginning of organized industrial safety, a need has been felt for standardized definitions and rates, so that accurate com parisons could be made of accident experience from one plant to another, and from one period of time to another. All of this dis cussion has been carried on by practical men, interested in workable procedures; hence, the results they have achieved are not theoretical, but are eminently practical. The rules finally developed on these mat ters are now incorporated in the American Standard Method of Compiling Industrial Injury Rates. This method is used not only by members of the National Safety Council, but by community councils, federal and state governments, trade associations, and others in industrial accident reporting. The definitions are contained in the N a tional Safety Council's Safe Practices Pam phlet No. 21, which may be secured by any 253 American Society of Safety gineers--Engineering Section Officers 1940-1941 -hairman--F.

ADAMS adent, Plant Protection, Linden Division, General M otors Corp., Linden, N. J. ; days ago I received a call from an _the army. He wanted me to recom;ihim all the men I knew about with lection qualifications. I attempted to names of several fine appearing from my files, but as I read their ' and other qualities he would stop _g "Sorry, but that man does not qualifications." him what the qualifications were, led: "We would like them to have or navy experience, although that essential as having been a member tized police force. If possible they `ve had plant protection experience -company which gives a good train ee all they should be fine investi- be able to write full and compreorts." ully I told him that all men such bed were on steady payrolls at es with which he could not hope with his offer of $1320 per year, t mention intelligence and loyalty, those two very essential qualities ied within the framework of the f the desired men. weeks Post has an article by Garet i which he states that new plants in States financed by the U. S. the British government and tal, now built, building or pend ing, total 3,429, at a total cost of $3,930,000,000. Figures have come to mean little, but the fact is that every one of those plants must be protected against all manner of in fluences and forces that could lessen their productivity. This does not take into con sideration any of the thousands of existing plants now being operated for the govern ment or producing other necessities. They also have to be guarded. A moment's consideration of the foregoing allows the deduction that there is soon to be a greatly increased demand for trained and experienced plant protection men, and a corresponding shortage of them. It follows that the qualified plant protec tion men of existing industry can and must make contributions to further national de fense activities. Such contributions may take two main form s: one, the training of thous ands of new men for the job; and, two, the assistance in the planning of plants to permit the job to be done with fewer men. An axiom of training plant protection men which has been forcibly impressed on me, is that only a plant protection man can train another one in ail the many phases of the job. You may get better safety training from good safety engineers; you may get better fire prevention training from good firemen, and employee relations training from per sonnel men, but only the experienced pro- Cement and Quarry Section Officers 1940-1941 -hairmtm--R.

D ittmar, Plant Manager, Universal Atl Company, Hudson, N. Y. Cement and Quarry Accident Experience By IVAN F. LeGORE Cement and Quarry Section, NSC, October 8, 1941 Last year in this meeting we discussed the place of industrial safety work in the national defense program and the effect the national defense program might have on safety work. W e spoke of the magnified problems of labor turnover and shifts of personnel within the plant organization to be expected, and of the much greater attention that would have to be given to the placement, training and edu cation of new workers, transferred workers, and old-timers. As anticipated, the period has been one of tremendous readjustment. Well under way is migration of labor to defense centers. It is said not to be as broad as World W ar migration, and is not yet drawing heavily from farm areas and non-defense centers. But the movement is growing and it is es timated that industry must recruit 500,000 workers in the next 12 months from outside local areas to forestall shortages. Added to our problem is the problem of priorities which confronts maintenance and repair groups with the necessity of utilizing substitute materials in place of those with which they have been familiar for years. Careful thought and planning will be needed in instructing workmen in the use of sub stitutes, including the use of lumber in some cases for lack of steel and iron. Organizations that heeded the nals lost no time in reviewing programs and in perfecting their i selecting, placing and training i safe job performance. These plants got ready for the period also by putting more indvkj work on the numerous details of : program, and they tightened up_ spections of physical properties, environment cause almost as many as personnel faults, and this factor importance when operations are Old equipment and old sources of terials returned to service after disuse require especially careful and, where necessary, these were br to safety standards. Plants that moved tardily to mee uation suffered adverse safety record most part. While accepting accident tion work as "a good thing", they ' to take steps to detect and promptly environmental and personnel fault! accidents could occur. While g11 safety program lip service, thes failed to make use of accident P1 tools which are available.

How Research Can Assist in Accident Prevention By R. W.

These are well exemplified by the Bureau of Mines of the Department of merce. In many instances, where hazards' particularly troublesome, cooperative eu have been made involving a number of viduals or groups.

JACKMAN Safety Director, McCrady-Rodgers Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. W e come here annually, not merely to be told that accident prevention work is impor tant, but to find, if possible, some answer to our problems. It is my opinion that the most important problem is H O W TO GET COM PLETE COOPERATION IN TH E AC CIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM from the top to the bottom of the organiza tion. Another problem is H O W TO ENCOUR AGE AND ASSIST IN KEEPING THIS COOPERATION ACTIVE. If we safety engineers GET and K E E P this cooperation it seems to me that we will have solved most of our accident prevention problems. We, of course, must assume that some interest in our accident prevention work has been shown by the management. Ju st how much is shown will depend to a great extent upon the ability of the safety engineer to SELL the idea. To properly consider the problem of GET T IN G cooperation, we must first consider what the general attitudes of the average organization are. First, we ask the laborer. His answer will probably be, "No one wants to get hurt and I do all I can to keep frc hurt." Then we will talk to the for" will probably answer, "I do all to keep the men from getting hurt,' erally I don't get very far because are just careless. They don't do w` them." Now, we will ask the superinten he thinks about accident preventio accidents, etc., and probably he "As long as our insurance rate too high, I don't think we have worry about." H e will probably a is very busy and that his foremen responsible for the safety of their Then, we will ask the presided' company what he thinks about this he will probably answer that he do anything about the costs of accid the secretary or treasurer takes insurance--"GO ASK H IM ABO He may add that he has hired a saf neer and that this whole problem is There is something radically w" all this reasoning, and it's all beca misunderstanding of the problem need for complete cooperation from borer to the president. 'liar luickly j ts of , ge of the xplaine a clatL 'kes safj `willing re so most its vali reduc king - incre produc happy.

Steamship Company, Inc., New Orleans. The Why of Safety By LT. COL. ELLIOTT VANDEVANTER Executive Assistant, Upper Mississippi Valley Division, Corps of Eng U S. Army, St. Louis Safety work was started about 1910, pos sibly somewhat earlier. W e have been stead ily working and earnestly trying to prevent accidents for 31 years. W e have made prog ress, yes, but are any of us satisfied with our results? Why, I ask you, must we fight continually to protect our workers? Why must we coddle them, display posters, have frequent safety meetings on their employers' time, and pay them for lost time injuries, many of which have been caused by their own carelessness, lack of obedience and of interest? Why shouldn't our personnel have enough interest in their own welfare and in their family's welfare to learn all they can about how to protect themselves? It seems to me that were I in their boots I would first of all learn how to take care of myself. And certainly our supervisors, who have been with us for many years, should accept their responsibility and really make an effort to protect the men under them. As an example, a number of electric cranes are operated on many of our dams. For sev eral years no injury occurred. Then one man grew careless. He was thoroughly accus tomed to oiling this unguarded g* should have realized his danger, slipped and it was badly mashed by a, in the gear wheel. Not one of the visory force had reported this ha did the injured man. It could not from the superstructure and the is that not even the foreman had ev up on top of the crane. After the a occurred, of course guards were ins'" But why 1 Oh w hy! must we the accident to lead us to the danger Why should we not have frequent th inspections of all installations, made sponsible men who are well acquaint* the situation, and have the ability to hazard and to make the necessary subject, of course, to the approval local supervisor? In case funds are r request should be made to the DistriC I feel that every "Brass H at" at D headquarters, when making a trip field, should look into the safety situa addition to attending to the particular, which is the cause of his visit.

MONDAY AFTERNOON SESSION October 6, 1941 Presiding--V ice-C hairman C. M. Mense, Lehigh Valley Shoe Company. Allenh Federal Meat Inspection and Safety \ By W. G. REED Meat Inspection Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, Chicago Modern industry has created problems in safety of such a nature that it is the respon sibility of every organization to acquaint its employees with the modern-day hazards and at the same time to develop within each individual an attitude of safety as an in tegrated part of his personality. Inspectors working for the Bureau of An imal Industry of the Department of Agri culture in the packing industry encounter their greatest accident hazards on the killing floors of these plants. In January 1941 this class of personnel reported eleven disabling injuries for a frequency of 22.30, and severity of 0.22 for that month. The victims of these injuries were lay inspectors, junior veter inarians, and assistant veterinarians, most of them skilled workers doing a wide variety of work, most of it under conditions which may be considered hazardous in nature. It is interesting to note that all of these injuries were reported from offices which re port only 26.6 per cent of the total man-hours for that class of employees. If only the offices which reported injuries were con sidered and the frequency calculated for them only, the frequency would be 83.06 per million man-hours, but as 73.4 per cent of the man hours reported for the same class of em ployment by all offices carried no injuries, the frequency, as previously stated, was 22.30 and the severity 0.22. Reports for April of this year! slight decrease in man-hours and a in both frequency and severity, the i being 12.41 and severity 0.12. The*:l of injuries was reduced from elevei the man-hours reduced from 493,152j uary to 483,286 in April. Three of 1 offices reported four of the disablin ies in April. Only one was caused by slipping < killing floor against the four repoj January. The same number of knif was reported as in January, four, that these were reported from widelj rated offices indicates that this ha common to most operations of the sa and is not the result of a few stations I fewer trained men or that the emplo a few stations are more careless than < Hazards on the killing floor are diffiq control, but we have no "repeaters" same men experiencing more than one i of the same kind reported from that.j of employment during the months of Ja April and June. We believe that this 1 indicates that reasonable safety precaij are being taken. In June of this year the man-hou ^ dropped to 473,214, but the number of i ies had increased to nine for a freque 19.13 and severity of 0.19. Two offic ported injuries in all three months.

IIRMAN C H A N T : I am happy to |*nany of you present at this Thirtieth Safety Congress. 1program this year is somewhat less 1complete than in previous years. We dt that we have at previous Congresses tried to accomplish too much as a and that because of the number of and the number of papers, many of rtion members were prevented from ng proceedings of other Sections or of uncil as a whole which they would ked to attend and from which they | have obtained great benefit. So this Ur program is shorter. Tomorrow we have two separate group meet- ings. One of those is especially set up for members who are interested in paper prod ucts and paper specialties manufacturing ; the other is for those interested in pulpwood log ging operations. Wednesday is a completely open day. On Thursday we have our annual Section Luncheon, followed by the final ses sion. The presentation of the trophies for the Section's safety contest will, as usual, be made on Thursday afternoon following the luncheon. (The General Chairman then presented his "Progress Report of Section Activities," briefly reviewing the year, and mentioning the good work of the many Sectional Com mittees.) The material on this page was copied from the collection of the National Library of Medicine by a third party and may be protected by U.S Copyright law Petroleum Section Officers 1940-1941 ' Chairman--C has.

GREENLY 'ef, T raining Division, Camegie-IUinois Steel Corporation, P ittsburgh, Pa. accidents really a serious problem in er press industry? You know the to that question or you would not be oday. Last year industrial accidents : hundred and fifty million dollars in cash outlay. The additional cost due time and to the removal from producskilled workers would add greatly to re. It is undeniable that a large f this unnecessary loss is due to acciinvolving new employees. The figures it. During the last year, accidental in industry have been increasing at a ice as fast as should be expected from 'easing number of employees. During deaths were up 10 per cent over 1939, employment in manufacturing indusncreased only 6 per cent. Lost-time have followed the same pattern as The inexperienced employees clearly been a major source of accidental cost lay. This is not surprising in view of the many studies which usually show that accident rates during first year of employment are at least twice the rates for subsequent years. W e must conclude, therefore, that our new, inexperienced men are largely responsible for the recent disproportionate rise in indus trial accidents. This conclusion suggests that substantial results can be obtained from con centrated safety promotion among this highaccident group of workers. A clue to the answer to this problem lies in a recent study by the National Safety Council. In one industry--the only one for which figures are available--the principal cause of accidents among experienced men was found to be the disregard of instructions. Among new employees, however, the prin cipal causes were ( 1) deficient knowledge of safe practices and (2) lack of skill. This suggests that the new men were not prepared to be safe workers. Public Utilities Section Officers 1940-1941 Chairman-- Charles S. Bowden, Ohio Public Service Co., Alliance, Ohio. hairnum--P. L.

SCHRENK Chief Chemist, Health Division, Bureau of Mines, Pittsburgh, Pa. The properties of refrigerants may be broadly classified into three main groups: (1) Those important for refrigeration; (2) those significant from the standpoint of con fining the refrigerant; and (3) those that be come important if the refrigerant escapes from the machine or container. The first group of properties, such as latent heat of vaporization, specific heat of vapor, specific heat of liquid, etc., is not considered to be directly related to safety and is not dis cussed here. The second group--those properties im portant in confining the refrigerants--has particular significance because it relates to "built-in" safety. This is emphasized because it is believed that the soundest procedure in designing equipment is to give due considera tion to both the health and safety hazards likely to be associated with it. Furthermore, the toxicity, fixe, and explosion hazar' controlled as long as the refrigerant,: fined. Some properties of this group i stability, (2) corrosiveness, (3) point, (4) pressure developed in the (5) warning odor or irritation, and (6 of detection.

Company, Providence, R. I. Lest We Forget By M. A. CLARK Manager, Industrial and Public Relations, U. S. Rubber Company, Detroit; As I look back a quarter of a century and review our attitude toward safety, I find there are four periods. The first was the very in definite and small amount of interest and thought of safety developed only by those few brave souls who had the crusader spirit. The next period undoubtedly was that of the definite crusaders, and we went out with a lot of enthusiasm and hope and desire to save our fellow man from injury and death be cause we believed, or at least gave appear-' ance of belief, that we were interested in him as a human being. At that time, every speaker portrayed the husband and father leaving for work in the morning with the wife and children waiting on the doorstep, waving goodbye with the prayer that he come back to them in the same condition that night. H e musn't come back with mangled limbs or be brought home on a stretcher. Of course, it was all exaggeration. No wife and children ever waved Dad off to work on a cold winter morning. Perhaps they were all glad he was gone, "the old crab." But the very exaggeration was intended to create emotion which would cause people to rise up and develop this great mission of acci dent prevention, and it was worthwhile. Then came the next period, the rational one, when we began to preach accident pre vention on the basis of the economic loss through lack of safety. We used figures and statistics to show the cost of insurance, the terrible loss in industry, to the wage earner, to the whole economic system, because z duction and elimination of production t accidents, and because of compensation which might have been avoided. There, s_ a sound contribution was made by those' voted people, who in spite of every se still worked for men. In approaching' "1 situation today, I have used as the subjeqy my short address to you, "Lest We For] ` that in a new era of safety we are mind all types of preceding safety efforts.

How to Interest the Employee in Your Safety Program By J. T. BROWN E. I. du P ont de Nemours & Co., Old Hickory, Tenn. You will all agree that no one method has proved satisfactory in getting the individual employee interested in the safety program. It requires' many methods. No doubt the most important individual in getting safety across to the employee and developing his, let us say, safety conscious ness, is the supervisor and foreman. He must be sold--he must accept the responsi bility for safety in his department. The foreman or supervisor who has a good safety performance has a good production record. He knows how to handle employees and em ployee relations. He is the key man in any safety organization on any plant. The problem facing the safety department of a plant is to supply the tools with which supervision is to maintain the interest of employees at all times. The first and we might say the most essential thing is to have a sound safety organization which reaches every employee from the plant manager to the man on the bottom. F irst let me say that the management should be sold on safety and should expect every employee to make safety a part of his every-day job. Such an organization should have a central safety committee com posed of the plant manager, the members of his staff and safety supervisor. Area or departmental safety committees composed of supervisors, foremen and key operators in each area. Shift and sectional safety com mittees which cover all employees. All of the committees should meet on a regular schedule at least monthly and every employee some time during the month would attend a safety meeting in their department. Next I believe there should be a sound method of classification of injuries such as those established and used by most indus tries. There should be no discrimination against departments or individuals in such classifications and all should be treated alike. Such classifications include major or lost time injuries, sub-major injuries and minor injuries. O ur plant and I believe a good many plants of our company have an addi tional classification which we call the sub minor injury. I am sold 100 per cent on this classification and let me take a few minutes to explain its significance in our safety program. In 192S, the first full calendar year of operations, we had .13 major injuries, two of which were fatalities, 177 sub-major in juries and 11,790 minor injuries. We workrf slightly more than 3,000,000 exposure hour* which gave us a frequency ratio of 10.9. By 1933 we were able to reduce this to four major injuries, 44 sub major and 2,260 minor injuries. But included in these injuries were infection cases of major or sub-major classification, which had failed to get prompt first aid attention. Pressure had been pot on the prevention of all injuries and em ployees were failing to report those of * very minor nature, which were all potential infection cases. W ith the permission of our home office, we initiated the sub-minor w col Wood Products Section Officers 1940-1941 General Chairman--O. C. Boileau, RCA Manufacturing Co., Inc., Camden, N.
