Thomas d. Herbert State of Ohio OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Columbus 15 February Twenty-Fourth 1948 Ur'. James H. Fluker, Superintendent Division of Safety and HygieneIndustrial Commission of Ohio Columbus, Ohio , Dear Mr. Fluker: Please accept my thanks for- your invitation to speak at the" Annual Congress Banouet, to be held Tuesday evening, April 13, 1948, in connection with your Eighteenth All Ohio Safety Con gress. It will be a privilege and a pleasure to talk to the delegates assembled for so worthy a cause. During the past year we have attempted to coordinate and ex pand the activities of the various safety agencies of the State, combining our efforts in the formulation of a program which will , eventually bring about a reduction in the number and severity of accidents in all fields where hazards exist and take their toll of our citizenry. Already, we are beginning to reap the benefits of this concerted action and your annual Safety Congress should provide a further stimulus to our united efforts to minimize, as far as possible, the suffering and sorrow and economic losses which are an aftermath of accidental happenings. With the assurance that the executive offices and all departments of State will lend every effort toward the attainment of the goal your agency seeks to attain through wider and more effective safety educational methods and with the hope that the attendance and interest at your Congress fully measures up to your expecta tions, I am Sincerely yours, Governor Eminent Speakers To Address Safety Congress ptative Program Suggests Scope of The Meetings ^standing Exponents of Industrial Safety Tin All Fields Secured for 1948 Con ference In Columbus [While not complete, the following tentative program will give ; a good idea of what is in store for them at the Eighteenth nttal Session of the All Ohio Safety Congress and Exhibit, to [held at the Neil House Columbus, Ohio, April IB, 14 and ;1948: TUESDAY NOOK AMERICAN SOCIETY OF SAFETY ENGINEERS Luncheon Meeting ELEVEN FORTY FIVE A- M.

Mead Trophy for establishing the best dent prevention record for Mead plants in 1947. Ffhe competition involved 14 plants and the Chillicothe unit blished a frequency rate of 4.23 accidents per million manworked. The plaque will be held by the Chillicothe plant fone year. a dinner meeting on February 21, the officials and emi of The James B. Clow & Sons, celebrated the co-winning ftbe \V. E. Clow Safety Award and the National Safety ncil award by the Coshocton and Newcomerstown plants, linent officials of the main office and local plants were in ndance and Milton H. Bowman, Safety Counselor for the veland Transit System was the speaker. LTbe shipping department of this plant has gone 19 years bout a disabling injury, which represents 350,000 man days exposure. .There is nothing unusual about the Clow record. This comny's plants have always had outstanding records in recent years, nks to the initiative of management and the fine spirit of coeration among employes. In 1947, twelve out of twenty-eight departments of the Crowellfjjollier Publishing Co., Springfield, completed 1,867,990 man- without a disabling injury. In recognition of the safety dfort, safety merit certificates were issued to the departments 'fishing the record and to the entire office force. TRAIN YOUTH FOR SAFETY The Hanna Coal Company has been able to prevail upon two High Schools in Southeastern Ohio to place in their curricula a mining course optional to each student and for which he re ceives credits toward his diploma. These courses are taught by the regular faculty of the schools. The principal subjects studied are mine mathematics, including mining costs, worker and machine efficiency problems, as well as standard ventilation problems, mining machinery and equipment, maintenance, draining, timbering, etc. Various coal "company officials contribute to this training by appearing for lectures on various related subjects and for consulta tion with instructors. The theory is that the coal industry needs new men and since it is the paramount industry in the district, it is good policy to sell young men on the idea of entering the ooal trade upon their graduation. i, In connection with this training, each Monday afternoon at Stnithfield High School, Mr. Woodcock of the Mine Rescue Staff, tod Safety Advisor R. W. Kirkland of the Division of Safety and Hygiene, conduct first aid classes. They give instructions in arti ficial respiration, control of bleeding, physical shock causes and effect, wounds and bums and dislocations and fractures. ^ "Those trained in first aid", reports Mr. Kirkland, "become *safer integral parts of the working force, thus lowering the acci dent frequency rate, providing better care for injured employees ..tod smaller compensation and medical costs." WHY INVESTIGATE ACCIDENTS Why investigate accidents? Why, indeed. The accident has happened, the horse has been stolen, why lock the bam door? In the above illustration, five-dollar bills are being handed out as rewards to trainees in the Industrial Safety Class conducted by the B. F. Goodrich-University of Akron Institute. This class has twelve two-hour sessions. In the photo (left to right) are: Willard Beamer, foreman; Theo. T. Twynham, Division of Safety and Hygiene; A1 Felton, Director of Apprentice Training for the B. F. Goodrich Co. and James DeVore, apprentice trainee. During the course the students were requested to collect acci dent prevention material in a special binder and awards were made to those having the best accident prevention note books. Commenting on the course in a letter to Safety Advisor Twyn ham of the Division Staff, Safety Director Tom Cain of the B. F. Goodrich Go. says: "National Safety Council films are used together with guest instructors at ten of the twelve sessions. This is the second year that the course has been offered. Blake: "Safety Subjects" is used as a text. Some of the guest instructors this year were: Dr. Rex H. Wilson, Medical Director B. F. G.; C. F. Nutter, Compen sation Dept.; W. L. Schneider, Safty Engineer; W. E. McCor mick, Industrial Hygiene Engineer; Glen D. Cross, Safety Di rector Firestone; Jack Kidney, Safety Director Goodyear; Theo. T. Twynham, Safety Advisor, Division of Safety and Hygiene, Industrial Commission of Ohio; Milton M. Bowman, Supervisor of Accident Prevention, Cleveland Transit System; H. G. Hays, Ohio State Safety Council: H. Dudley Hanson, Director of Safety, Cleveland Graphite Bronze Company. "We find that encouraging the collecting of accident prevention material in a special binder, for later use by foremen and appren tice trainees attending these classes, by offering cash prizes for the best safety notebook, has been very successful. The reason, as suggested by Vovta Wrabetz, in his Silver Jubilee Congress paper, is that we may have another horse worth the stealing. There may be further accidents. Accidents are investigated so that their causes may be de termined and subsequently eliminated. No accident happens unless there is a cause; something done unsafely or some exist ing unsafe condition. If you have an accident for which you can not assign a cause, probably you have done an incomplete job of investigating. In fact, most accidents have several causes, and the difficulty is to pick the one most practical of correction or removal, which will prevent the particular accident from hap pening again. 39 THE, MONITOR VOL. XXI MARCH, 1948 NO. 3 Issued Monthly By THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF OHIO George L. Coffinberry, Chairman Richard W. Morse, Vice-Chairman Wile. T. Blake, Member Stanley S. Stewart, Secretary Prepared By THE DIVISION OF SAFETY AND HYGIENE James H. Fluker, Superintendent G. Scott Kallenbaugh, Asst. Superintendent Printed Under The Administration of Hon. Thomas J. Herbert, Governor Furnished Free Upon Request to the Division of Safety and Hygiene, Departments of State Bldg., Columbus 15, Ohio (Non--Reprint at ny origin*l material contained herein is permissible, with proper credit, without the security for apedal request.--isrrol.) The 1948 Congress Business experts seem rather universally agreed that 1948 will be marked by a continuance of the high levels of employment. If their prophecies are correct, it means that there will be the nor mal crop of accident hazards to face, necessitating greater accident prevention effort on the part of the safety forces of the State. The closing months ef 1947 gave Ohio industrialists some idea of what to expect during the current year in the way of increases in accident frequency and severity. While it is yet too early to analyze the causes behind these upward trends, there is a strong probability that it is not chargeable entirely to increased exposure. With the high degree of safety sentiment prevalent among Ohio employers and employees today, we have the utmost confi dence that the situation will be met just as successfully as it has been in the past. However, to accomplish this end, educational safety efforts cannot be permitted to lag, but must be further stimulated in order to meet the threat of continued high levels of employment which bring accompanying higher trends in ex posure. We believe our readers will agree that one of the potent in fluences in the propagation of safety spirit in Ohio industry and the encouragement of organized and systematic effort along edu cational safety lines, has been the All Ohio Safety Congress. The eighteenth session of the Congress will be held this year on April 13, 14 and 15 at the Neil House, Columbus, Ohio, and it is not too early to be giving some thought to representation. Progress in the building of the program is, we believe, farther advanced at this time than it has been in the past and the pros pects are excellent for a much earlier completion of the pro grams, both general and sectional. Many outstanding speakers are already pledged to appear and others of equal calibre are be ing solicited. All in all, the outlook is excellent for one of the best sessions in the history of the movement. Our hope for a record-breaking session, in both point of attend ance and interest aroused, is predicated largely upon our belief that we will have the complete and hearty cooperation of employers and employees' organizations in encouraging 3t Snce. Primarily, this responsibility rest:, with the vmplmer employees who should be logical choices as delegates to the gress, must have his sanction for the time and expense jnvThere is no question but that there are thousands of safety in Ohio who are desirous of attending these sessions for the purpose of profiting by new ideas in safety uork and their tendance would certainly bring eventual economic returns to'" employers. We would suggest that employers keep this thought in and begin at once to plan on the number of delegates they pect to send to the Congress and the personalities who will most and who are best calculated to report back intelligently the safety information they absorb. Vigorous And Timely One of the biggest problems in accident prevention work, bringing to the employe a sense of conviction of the desirability safety and his individual responsibility for promoting it. Among the recent evidences that the leaven of safety is ginning to work strongly in the ranks of organized labor, is following vigorous and to the point editorial in a recent of The Potters' Herald, official organ of the Potters' Union, lished at East Liverpool, the pottery capital of the' 'nation, says: "Industrial safety is a subject which deserves more const' tion by every member of organized le.bor throughout the en nation. Labor as a whole has made splendid progress in hel tt>' eliminate many of the causes of unsafe working conditions it is high time that each" and every individual member put serious thought to ways and means of .making his or her j/ob safer place to be. "Speaking from experience, we know that it is not un for the average employe to take an antagonistic and indiff attitude toward most safety rules of the firm for which he but if we take time to think about the matter for just a time we can see how foolish it is for us to assume an atti of indifference or carelessness. "If we are injured on the job, it is true that the emp loses but his loss is in terms of dollars and cents while the of the injured is not only measured in terms of dollars and but in terms of suffering and privation as well. The injured his or her dependents are really the ones who suffer. They really the ones who need an efficient safety program in branch of American industry. If we only give just a wee bit thought to the possible effects of accidental deaths or lost accidents as it would affect us and our families then we have gone a long way toward being a safer workman. "It is very easy in case of accident to criticize the emp and find his faults in not having made the job safe. Many them deserve criticism and mote, but at the same time let take a look and see if we have done our part. Let us be that we are doing our part and then let us demand of employer, in no uncertain terms, that he do his part for benefit of us both.

"Are We Utilizing to the Fullest Extent Our Medical Depa (Continued on Page 46) 42 ,r How Some-Of Them Are Caused & vforrow Escape -HA trucker hauling a load of steel, suffered chest injuries and -Jtfowly escaped death in a Cleveland suburb when, stopping Jjddenly at an intersection, the load of steel lashed to his flat-bed gjck plunged through the truck cab. Had the load gone a few pore inches, it would have crushed him to death. ^ Several years ago, there was an epidemic of accidents of this nature and several drivers were killed. It was suggested at the cine that merely lashing steel rods or pipes to the truck bed was 'jjjt sufficient. A barricade should be built between the forward jnd of the truck bed and the cab, to prevent the load shifting forward if a sudden stop is made or the truck hits an obstruction. This suggestion has been followed by some shippers and thereby the safety of the driver has been enhanced. __ __ Static Starts Fire Two women employes of a Cincinnati plant manufacturing sports products, were severely burned when a static spark ignited i solution of naphtha with which one of the women was washing out basketball bladders. One of the women suffered very severe bums and the other 'sustained first and second degree bums on the arm while trying "to beat out the flames which enveloped, her fellow worker. ^ This accident demonstrates the need of extreme caution in 'ng with volatile liquids. Poor Piling g One of the requisites of good plant housekeeping is the proper "piling of materials so that they will not shift and topple over. At a Cleveland plant, an operator of a shearing machine was working near a Eve-ton stack of sheet steel when the pile toppled \ over and crushed his legs, one being fractured in three places. It took 45 minutes to extricate him. This type of injury is all too common in steel mills and could be obviated by the exerdse of more care in piling or stacking. i _______ .A Lofty Tumble A 19 year-old youth employed on a construction job at a Day- ton utility plant, miraculously escaped death in a 57-foot fall. . The boy either fell or stepped through a hole in the roof which workmen were covering with rooBng paper and fell onto a con- crete floor. At last report he was in fair condition. The same element of safety which applies to floor openings - should be given to roof openings. Such openings should be pro tected at all times. Odd Accident An employe of screw machine plant at New Philadelphia, met .. with an odd accident recently. The employe was working on a grinding machine when sparks ignited a pan of gasoline. He attempted to leap over the flaming - pan but landed in it. His clothes became ignited, but he had sufficient presence of mind to jump outside and roll in the snow ^ and the burns he sustained were not.serious. ' is certainly bad safety practice to have open pans of volatile t. .d sitting close to a machine that is certain to generate sparks. L ---- f Impaled on Rod j- An employe of a contracting firm Was working on a form be ing prepared for a concrete job. He fell off the form and landed on a piece of upright steel rod. The rod penetrated the man's body near the rectum and caused injuries involving the rectum and bladder. The extent of dis ability is undetermined. It takes a little time to adjust a life-line when working on ele vations and they may prove a slight handicap in free movement, but they have prevented many serious injuries from falls. Missed Him, But-- An employe of a Pittsburgh engineering company doing a construction job at Cincinnati, has filed a claim for payment of medical fees as the result of an accident. The claimant sets out in his application that he was guiding a concrete bucket to a chute on the ground, when a piece of 2"x4" timber fell from the form. The piece missed him, but fell into a pool of water containing soda ash and some of the water splashed into his eye. Has Happened Before A painter employed by a firm doing a job at Coldwater, has applied for compensation for three weeks disability. The applicant states that he had finished one job and was pre paring to start another. He washed his hands in an inflammable solution, which saturated a bandage on his right hand covering an old injury, and then, thoughtlessly lighted a cigarette. His right hand was severely burned. This is about the third accident of this same type that we have recorded in the past eighteen months. Air Hose Horseplay A mechanic employed in a State Highway garage at Milan, was working on a truck, leaning over. Another employe work ing nearby, cleaning lanterns with an air hose, laid down the hose. A third employe came by, picked up the nozzle and applied it to the mechanic's rear. The result was that the accident victim suffered a severe dis tension of the intestinal tract and abdominal cavity. This "accident" resulted in the victim suffering excruciating pain and losing eight weeks from work, all because of one man's distorted sense of humor. Oil Can Again When handling an oiling job, it is always safe practice to put the oil can in a position where it will not cause injury. A millwright at a Dayton plant forgot this. While at work he stepped backward and sat down on the spout of an*oil can. This accident, similar to many recorded in this column in the past, resulted in three days lost time and $20.00 in medical fees. Invited This One A laborer employed by a Xenia contractor decided to en courage a smoldering fire in a coal stove. He threw gasoline on top of the smoldering embers with the usual result. The accident victim lost seven days time as the result of first and second degree bums on the face and neck. Judging from the number of similar accidents in recent months, one is led to the conclusion that the only solution is the advent of summer. 43 h CINCINNATI SETS CHARTER All "Steamed'' Up Pictured above, (seated) left to right: R. G. Wheeldon, sec retary-treasurer--safety director, The Drackett Co.; K. F. Krieg, president--safety-director, The Philip Carey Mfgl Co.; C.

Hamilton safety director, City of Cincinnati; Col. R. H. Nanz, Schenley Distillers, Inc., Lawrenceburg, Ind.; M. L. Moll, chairman .of membership committee--regional manager, Mine Safety Appliances Co.; Dr. O. P. Geier, retired personnel direc tor, The Cincinnati Milling Machine Co., and K. R. Nichols, chairman of nominating committee--safety director, Cincinnati Milling Machine Co. A charter presentation meeting of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers was held at the Hotel Netherland Plaza on Wednesday evening, January 15, with VicePresident R. H. Nanz of Schenley Distillers, Inc., Lawrenceburg, Ind., officiating as toastmaster. A. D. Caddell, executive secretary of the National Society made formal presentation of the charter, which was accepted by the local president, Karl F. Krieg, of the-Philip Carey Manufactur ing Co., Lockland. Otis Hamilton, safety director of the City of Cincinnati, spoke on "My Experiences in Safety," and Dr. O. P. Geier, retired personnel director of the Cincinnati Milling Machine Co., and a pioneer in industrial safety, gave an interesting talk on "The Safety Movement--Past and Future." About 120 leaders in safety from the chapter area of Cincin* nati, Hamilton, Middlewwn and other cities in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana within a 35-mile radius of Cincinnati, were present at the banquet. It has been said that "The evil that men do lives after themthe good is oft interred with their bones". The old adage is ^ far wrong. In commenting on the title page picture in the February igg^ of The Monitor, the huge shovel depicted was referred to as: "steam" shovel. Naturally, since we get the manufacturer's literature month, we knew this shovel was electrically powered. Referrn* to it as a "steam" shovel was one of those slips that pass blithely by an editor after he has been punctilious about the position tf a comma. ' The letters we received commenting on this error, were largely from electrical workers, and they were all written in kindly spirit. To compensate for the criticism, all have some kind thinp to say about The Monitor, which made it all worthwhile. Thanii for the criticism and the compliments and our apologies for n* advertently reconverting the Marion Mastodon from electricry c steam. It was quite a feat and deserved all the attention j| received. AN IMPRESSIVE STUNT An unusual stunt was introduced at the regular monthly meet ing of the Foremen's Club of Columbus Bolt & Forge Co., held at Fott Hayes Hotel, February 12. The speaker for the occasion was Norman M. Yoder, of the Rehabilitation Service for the Blind, Department of Public Wel fare. In order to give emphasis to the need fot eye protection, the guests at the dinner ate blindfolded until dessert was served- A COMMON HAZARD During the first quarter of this year, quite a number of Ohio workers sustained injury as the result of improper dress while engaged in their occupational pursuits. A foundry foreman at Hillsboro sustained a bad gash on the forehead and a bruised forearm when his arm became caught in a machine and pulled him into it. At Ashley, a lumber plant employee had both arms badly lacerated when a planing machine roller caught his glove. It pays to wear the proper clothing when working about machinery. Any loose, Happing garment is apt to get caught in gears or on projecting set-screws and gloves are bad medicine when used around gears or sprockets. Blindfolds (a sweat band with a piece of Kleenex) were p<rt on by the guests and Mr. Yoder explained the position of the various dishes which were placed clockwise around the dinnO plate. He announced that potatoes were at 3 o'clock, meat at ^ o'clock, etc. and the diners were expected to find them by touca and sense of direction. Awards for those completing the Foremen's Safety Training Course, were made by Safety Advisor V. R. McQuilkin of Division of Safety and Hygiene. These classes were initiated "f Safety Advisor H. P. Heyne and Safety Representative An** R. Whipps and were then carried on by Safety Director Herbst of the company. Mr. Yoder is the man at the extreme right in the illustration shown in connection with this article. 44 SUCCEEDS MR. HEYNE ge is 2rv ^ SUPT. JAMES A.
