At the '60 Congress you can meet other safety people, with the same problems and responsibilities as yourself. You can exchange views and ideas on accident preven tion, health, hygiene, and fire prevention . . . on safety in industry, traffic, school, at home and on the farm. You can see the largest of all safety equipment exhibits at the Congress . . . an opportunity for you to moke wellinformed buying decisions for your company. This ifour-day educational program, planned and pre sented by the National Safety Council, can be your most thought-provoking, most worthwhile safety expe i rience in 1968. Make plans early to attend the 1968 Congress and bring the other people in your organization who have safety responsibilities.

As citizens of a nation dedicated to the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, we art: charged to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with You; to extend compassion, understanding and aid to the perplexed and sorely-tried; to love our neighbor as ourselves. To these humanitarian heights lias the National S a f e l y t i m i n ' d dedicated itself through its noble aims and purposes of constantIv working, studying and planning for means that will result in the extended health, welfare and education for all. To these noble ideals, we pray, may we ever remain faithful, as we develop a continuing sense of dedicated commitment to this organization, our respective professions and those we serve, a com mitment which both elevates and ennobles. We beseech Your blessings upon all who have affiliated them selves in the attainment of these common objectives. Endow th e m with the knowledge, wisdom and guidance necessary lor fruitful leadership and success in the attainment of these goals . . . I n s p iie us to labor zealously and unflinchingly for the perpetuation of the American way of life. Guard our county from iniquitous designs, intolerance and blind prejudice. Keep our bottlers free from every enemy, both bom within and without . . . Grant us clear minds so that we may approach.the problems of our day with forthrightness and unselfish ness . . . Spread Your tabernacle of peace over all the nations of the earth. May the work of peace be righteousness, and its effect, freedom from fear and want for all men. Amen. 1'JfiT National SuIl Iij Congress lYiiu/iiV.v. Penalties of boll) a civil and criminal n a ture are provided for in the Act. A civil action for preventive relief, includ ing an application for a permanent or tem porary injunction, restraining order, or other order, may he instituted by the Secretary in the district court of the United States for the district in which the mine in question is lo cale.) or in which the mine operator lias its piincip.d ollice, whenever an opeiatoi t 1 ) violates or fails or refuses to comply with any order of withdrawal and debarment, or ( 2.1 interferes with, binders, or delays tin: Secretary or his duly authorized representa tive, in carrying out his duties under the Act, or (3 ) refuses to admit an authorized representative to a mine, or ( 1 ) refuses to permit the inspection or investigation of any mine, or of an accident, injury, or occupa tional disease occurring in or connected with a mine, or (5 ) refuses to furnish any infor mation or report requested by the Secretary. Upon conviction, persons njay be pun ished by a fine .of not less than $ 1 0 0 , or moii d u n i'S.OPO, or by imprisonment not to exceed sixty days, or both, where ( 1 ) there is a violation Or failure or refusal to comply with an "Imminent Danger Withdrawal O uler.'l or ( 2 ) there is a violation ol a m an datory standard and failure or refusal In comply with an order of abatement if the failure to comply with the order of abate ment has created an "imminent danger", that is, a danger that could cause death or serious physical harm in such mine immedi ately or before the imminence of such danger can be eliminated. These criminal penalties have a peculiar twist to them. In Senate Report No. 1296 the Committee staled-- "Section l- l(b ) . . . makes mine operators liable to criminal penalties (fines of $ 1 0 0 to $3,000 and imprisonment for u p to GO days) upon conviction in Federal court of one specified oilousc. This oilvnse is: violation ol, or relusal or taihiic to comply with, an order of withdrawal and debarment, if, at the time the order is made, a danger exists `that could cause death or serious physical harm in such mine immediately or before the imminence ol such danger can he elimi nated.' `'These criminal penalties do not apply, therefore, to a mine operator who has been given a notice fixing a lime limit for abateitirtil til a l iiiialion ,J a ninn.l.il.iiy health or safety standard, who has tailed to abate the violation within the time allowed, who lias then been given an order of withdrawal mil debarment, and who has then violated, baled, or lefiisrd to eomply with this order --unless his failure to abate the violation lias created an imminent nr immediate danger of death or serious physical harm h r ihe time the order of w itluhawal and debarment was issued.'' Tims, it would seem that an oflensc has been committed if between the time of issu ance of a notice of abatem ent fixing a time limit within which to abate, and upon the expiration of the time, the failure to abate the violation of a mandatory standard fias re sulted in a condition of imminent or iniaudiate danger. The Act was ellcclive mi September li>, 1 !t i l l h o w e v e r the provisions with respect to issuance of ''Imm inent D anger Withdrawal Orders" an d "Elapscd-tim e Withdrawal Or ders and some of the penalty provisions do not become effective until one year alter ihe date of publication of notice in the b'cilarul Itcghtcr of the designation of mandatory standards. T he meanings and inlet pretalious ol tinAct in m any respects will have to await the time when we are faced with actual situa tions and circumstances which undoubtedly will arise alter the Act iieeomes fully opera tional. Some questions and disputes may not he entirely clarified or decided until eases are heard and decided by the Board of Re view and by tl OFFICERS OF THE CEMENT, QUARRY AND MIMERAI, AGGREGATES SECTION NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1967-68 (,'i'iimil Chairman--I.

T he dust imisl contain a toxic com po nent; for example, silica or one of the heavy metals. 3. T he concentration must he sufficiently great to overcome the body's natural defenses. 4. The exposure must extend over a long period of time. 5. All individuals do not react alike. Some have greater resistance to the disease processes than others or, conversely, less resistance. Only w ithin recent years has this relation ship been taken one step further and devel oped into a mathematical one which says th a t given a toxic d ust of less than f> milaons. disease is then the product ol tim e and concentration, or D (disease) T (tim e) x C (concentration). The formula, of course, has sex'eral disadvantages, the foremost being th at disease has no definable starting point and, because of the factor of individ ual susceptibility, would apply to large groups rather than to individuals. Civon a large population find using an a r b itrary diagnostic sign a s l!a reference, it should be possible to develop a definable biologic relationship between time of expo sure and th e concentration oje toxic m aterials. If such a body of knowledge existed, it w ould be possible to inform;,a miner after x particle years of exposure that further work in the mines may endanger! his health; that a fter x -f~ y particle years, )(ie has a certain risk of developing pneun'ioconiosis; and, after x -f z particle years, bis chance of de veloping pneum oconiosis is alm ost 1 0 0 % . I trust that the above will always rem ain in the realm of fantasy for the record-keep ing job would be stupendous. Nonetheless, we have come perilously close to such a system on several occasions especially in those areas xvherc environmental controls w ere neglected. T h e form ula D = T x C is generally u sed b y -the industrial hygienists in setting maximum allowable concentrations. Ideally, the product of T x C should be zero. H ow ever, under practical operating conditions, this is no t possible. Therefore, time is fixed in accordance w ith m an's norm al w orking sp an and th e concentration is adjusted in ac cordance w ith the relative toxicity of the dust uridcr consideration. Thus, prevention of the dust diseases becomes a function of controlling either the time of exposure or the concentration of the dust or reducing the production of the two to an acceptable level. T h e traditional m ethod of control in the m ining in d u stry lias been to limit the con centration of tlie dust by certain accepted procedures, sueli as ventilation and the me of dust suppressants such as water. A recent stu d y o f the Public Health Ser vice lias dem onstrated th a t a significant n u m b er of bitum inous coal miners have a disabling respiratory disease commonly re ferred to as "coal workers' pneumoconiosis." M any questions rem ain to be answered espe cially reg ard in g the etiology of the disease. T h a t d u st has a significant role in its etiology is unchallenged.' A lthough a similar disease has been know n in the anthracite industry for m any years, a review of the liternlmr w ould in d icate that the. prevalence of pneu moconiosis in the bitum inous industry .was hot very great until about 1950. T h e signs an d sym ptom s of the disease are so obvious th a t it is difficult to accept the co ncept th a t th e ap p aren t increased preva lence is related to im proved diagnostic tecli- niiiucs. H ow ever, the ap p aren t increaso and prevalence m ay be related to the increasing use of m echanical equipm ent underground. U nfortunately, very little d ata is available w hich w ould perm it a comparison of dust conditions before and after mechanization. I t is possible th a t m any coal mines may liax'e re a d ie d the ultim ate in dust control w ith existing ventilating systems and mine layout. T o change either of these factors re quires a larg e outlay of capital which possi bly cannot be equated with production gains. T h u s we have re a d ie d the point w here o th er m ethods of d ust control will lie necessary. C ertainly the industry lias no! fully explored w h at can b e done through al terations in m achine design. Coal cutting an d rem oving m achines w ere designed to o btain th e maxim um tonnage in the shortest tim e period. A nother design criteria needs to he a d d e d --w ith the minim um d ust produc tion. ............. All efforts to d ate have been directed at red u cin g to a m inim um th e value of C in the eq u atio n D = T j C. T h e cost of accom plishing tliis reduction to an acceptable level m ay prove to be inconsistent w ith economic returns. Should this prove to be true, then efforts w ill have to bo m ade to reduce the T facto r in the equation. This can be accom plished in one of three ways: 1 .

Complete autom ation lues not appear to Ik feasible at this tim e although great strides arc being m ade to reduce th e num ber of men underground. Lor obvious reasons, tire principle of job rotation to reduce exposure time has never been acceptable to labor or management. The provision of an artificial environment has the ring o f an exotic m ethod applicable to the exploration of space. In actuality at tempts have been m ade to create such an en vironment hy the use of air filtering devices which fit over tin: nose mid m onth. Such tic -' vices, generally referred to ns respirators, have certain in h eren t disadvantages such as discomfort, b reath in g resistance, and com munications interference. F o r these reasons, labor and m anagem ent as w ell ns the health profession have developed an inanity regard ing the potential use of protective equip ment. It is dillieult to accep t the concept that a total life su p p o rt system can be provided for a man in space b u t th a t w e are unable to design a life su p p o rt system for a man in .a hazardous u n derground environm ent. It is possible th a t a m ajor obstacle m ay bo our image of a coal m iner. I t is difficult to visu alize a coal m iner looking like anything other than a coal m iner. T o accept him with the appearance of a scientist or a technician i>almost nu im possibility. So far this presentation has avoided a dis cission of a hygienic standard for bitum i nous coal dust. Such a value docs not exist in the U nited States for exposure to bitum i nous coal d u st an d until such a standard is developed, the C value in our equation lias no significance.

JUDY, Executive Vice President Bituminous Coal O perators' Association The emerging of mechanical ipining of coal in the U nited States, coupled) w ith all the publicity today on air pollution, has brought the problem o f d u st contijol to the focus of (lie m iuiug in d u stry 's attention. This problem lias been nccontualod by the appli cation of the more modern methods of coal recovery by continuous and longwall ma chinery and by the increase of rock drilling for roof bolt installation. Tile industry has recognized this situation w ith appropriate gravity and lias taken steps to apply and advance the technology of dust control. In light of our present limited knowledge of the effects of inhalation of var ious co ncentrations o f d u st ov er long periods of exposure, current control measures ap p e a r to be .successful. .Should fu rth e r studies prove that lower dust concentrations are nec essary for a healthful atmosphere, the indus try will m eet those standards by improving current control measures or by developing new technology. Such studies are now being undertaken jointly by the United Stales Bureau of Mines and the Public H ealth Service of the D epart m ent of Health, Education, and W elfare w ith the cooperation of the mining industry. Representatives of the mem ber companies and staff of the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association serve officially as advisors to the governm ent agenc ies involved in this project. J M em ber com panies are m aking available J their facilities for d u st surveys u n d er actual i mining conditions. j 'Phe industry' has, if for no other reasons | than increased com fort an d safety through I b elter visibility, ap p lied a wide-range of ji dust control m ethods a n d devices. Stronger ^ m easures are being em ployed or tested a w here silica d ust is involved or where bit- il miiious d ust is created in undesirable con centrations. Silica dust is b eing controlled effectively by w et drilling or vacu u m collectors used w ith rock drills. Im proved cu ttin g bits have simplified these m ethods of control and the acceptance by w orkm en of the use of respira tors generally has been leali/.ed by the pub licity given to the recognizable problem of breathing silica dust. Hock dust standards have been strength ened by the low ering o f th e allowable 3irr.it of free and com bined silica con ten t from 25 percen t to 5 percent. R eduction of exposure to silica dust lias been h elp ed b y the em ployment of conveyor bells and rnbbcr-timl vehicles for coal h aulage an d for man trips. All told, the industry lias found and is .ap plying the m eans to control th e silica dust encountered in coal m ining. 'Plio problem of controlling coal dust is, on tzJU'SJij 000620 Coal firmi.; .... the other hand, more complex, pre| S fcr.1 nf| ' and Is confused by tin: fact tlmt 5 of coal dust lias not been positively rec ognized with respect to its contribution to respiratory or circulatory ailm ents. C onstant effort is being m ade to find m eans of p ro ducing less dust in the m ining operation and to abate, divert or collect the d ust th at is produced. In conventional m ining, the use of p ro p erly situated high pressure w ater sprays, in which the use of nrlditives Is som etimes beneficial, has brought about a considerable reduction of dust at its prim ary sources in drilling and cutting. W ater-filled l'VC bags for stemming blast holes, im proved coal shooting techniques, and direct application ' of fine mist or fog sprays have proven cireetive in abating dust at its prim ary source in blasting. Secondary du st sources such as loading and transferring coal also can he controlled by sprays, and roadw ay dust where a problem by w etting or application of calcium chloride. One large m ining com pany w hich began an intensive study of dust resulting from conventional m ining upon its introduction in the middle 1930`s conducted d u st surveys which showed concentrations ranging from 98 to 227 million particles p er cubic foot without the use of w ater sprays durin g the loading cycle. W ith the com bined use of w et drilling, com pressed air blasting, " bug d u st ing" units and sprays on cu ttin g m achines, sprays on loading m achines and a t transfer points, roadway sprinkling and salting, and with normal ventilation, typical co ncentra tions in million particle per cubic foot w ere reduced to 14.29 for undercuttin g an d sh ear ing, 9.25 for drilling, 9.49 for blasting, and an average of 7.89 for shuttle car loading, tramming nnrl dum ping. T his Compares w ith concentrations of up to 208 m p /c f for handloading operations in thu sam e scam. Continuous mining normally results in the production of m ore dust and longer periods of operator exposure. H ere, the m eth an e lib eration rate frequently dictates th e use of auxiliary face ventilation w ith its a tten d an t benefits of dilution and p rom pt rem oval of (lust. Exhausting auxiliary ventilation sys tems are more inelficient an d nro less d ic c live for gas rem oval, hut arc advantageous for dust removal in that the air cu rren t is away from the operator.

T he most sophisticated innovation for e n vironmental dust cimlrol is tin* ciyogonio breathm g apparatus w hich is being tested by a major coal producer for use by continuous m iner operators. The prototype devieo eon sists basically of a p o ta b le eiyngenie .xtin.ige vessel hiaeketed on the machine together w ith a heat exchanger and a quick-diseon- nect-coupled delivery hose to a breathing mask fitted with a demand type regulator. T h e quick disconnect and 5-fno,t length of hose give the operator freedom of movement and exit. T he portable storage vessels are filled on the surface from a blending tank into v.-liieh liquid oxygen and nilmpcn aie fed in pn>|i- 1 proportions. W hen charged fully to 35 p i. the vessels weigh 23 pounds, 'th e y incnune 7 inches in diam eter and 23 inches in length and are equipped with a pressure gauge and control valve. O ther methods of providing dust-fire air at comfortable temperatures to continuous m iner operators such as by low-pi essme compressors or scrubbers are being explored. None of these devices has had sufficient tests to m erit complete evaluation especially in light of the unknown degree of the physio logical afToct of breathing bitum inous coal dust. Longwall mining sometimes introduces significant concentrations of coal dust into tire air stream in which certain crew m em bers are exposed. Encouraging results in sup pressing such dust by high-pressure infusion of w ater in advance of the longwall fuc have been experienced at the No. 20 Min'- of The Cailion Kind Company. W ater infusion mid other means of v.el- ting and of collecting dust do have the addi tional benefit of reducing the possibility of dust being raised in the atm osphere in explo sive amounts. Auxiliary ventilation, oxn pt where dust can he ellcetivcly collected or d i luted at the end of the tubing, does not have this feature, and where it is necessary to maintain high velocities, (loat dust will be carried for considerable distances in return airway's. Suspended float dust and precipitated ac cumulations can be rendered inexplosivo by the use of trickle dusters whirl) intindm r 1967 National Safety Congress enough rock dust into tire return air stream to d ilu te the coal rlu.st to an inert mixture. This lias the advantage of continuous protection and obviates the need to reapply rock dust in back entries. Some coal dusts are particularly difficult to w et w ithout the use of additives or in creased tem perature to lower the surface tension of the water. The principle of in creasing the w ater tem perature to improve ''w ettability" has been used with outstanding results by at least one major company for special applications such as transfer points in tipples a n d in a long inclined surface convey or tunnel. They have found that steam jets at critical transfer points will suppress the dust effectively through all subsequent trans fer points including final rail loading. There is, how ever, little encouragem ent that steam could be u s e d . practically in underground coal mines. ! Increased ventilation in the last open b reakthrough an d at the face is still tjie most common means of combating air-born dust. T his is ln-goly because of the close relation ship of nii-thouc and dust with respect to th ru late:; it| lihciutiini (generation) find the necessity to dilute and remove them. Many m ines circulate quantities of fresh aiif several times the legal minimum through the last open breakthrough. .Superior quality (naletial for line cut tains' is mnv available and is gain ing w ider use in the industry for conducting air into th e working place more effectively. Further, the industry has endorsed the U nited States bureau of Mines proposal to revise the permissibility schedule to require that boring-type miners be designed with a 2 0 0 -square inch cross sectional area for ac com m odating auxiliary ventilation ductwork. As described in a paper presented at the 51st A nnual M eeting of the Mine Inspectors In stitu te of A m erica by M. G. \V. Connor, Jr. of U nited States Steel Corporation's Gary Division, a two-split ventilation system de veloped in th at division is being used to con trol m ethane and dust and to direct the dust generated at the face away from personnel.

C. MORTON Division Supt., Tlic Carbon Fuel Company, Carbon, West Virginia During tlie sum m er of 1003, along with oilier ollieialx of T h e C arbon Fuel Company, 1 visited the longw all faces operating in Eastern Associated C orporation's mines at Kopperslon and K eystone. O ur purpose was to evaluate tbc system ns a possible solution to roof control and recovery problem s in our No. 20 Mine at C arbon, W . Va. No. 20 Mine is in the Cagle Scam and a t th a t time had been operating fo r a little over two years. The roof in th e m in e is composed of a strata of very soft a n d unconsolidated shale which varies in thickness from tw elve inches to ten feet. T his roof strata can be held very well in entries w ith w ooden headers bolted to the top and tim bered, how ever, when over 60 percent o f th e scam is m ined by con ventional room an d pillar m ethods th e shale roof becomes h azardous and difficult to han dle. Consequently seam recovery was lmv, nut over 55 p ercent, and tins cost of produc tion was ab o u t eq u al to th e sale price. No. 20 Mine was about to fail and w e were looking for a saviour. 1 was greatly im pressed w ith the lougwall system I observed a t E astern Associated Mines--it was love a t first sight. I felt at that time th a t the retreat lougw all m ethod had the potential of the m ost economical, conservative and safest m ethod of mining coal. Now, after having been directly asso ciated with longw all m ining for over three and a half years, m y feelings have not changed. Of course, th e m ethod lias not reached tbc potential--it Infs p robably now only reached a level of evaluation equal to the m odel "A" Ford in that lino of excellent autom obiles. As c sang then, " H enry made, a L ady out of l.i/./.y''--we now have som ething inure like a [illy in the line of m ining equipm ent. No. 2 0 M ine is now operating three sec tional units of equipm ent. In addition to the longwall unit, one conventional shuttle car unit is used for developing longwall panel entries and one fo r m ining areas of the seam adjacent to old m ine w orkings or crop and property lines th a t cannot be fitted into the longwall pattern. A lthough the developm ent Kction is driving only tw o entries which is very ineliicieiit, since tin- hutj'.nafl went intu service, the m ine lias n iiu iiie il in an n:.i mmiically sound position. Our longwall face stalled operating M.ueli 2, 19(H. O n July 1, 1UG7, the section had oiserated 1,575 shifts and had- produced 1,103,202 tons of clean cold or 700. It) Inns of clean coal p e r shift. Add about 20*.'i- fm scam rejects and the total material b.iiidhil w as`1,379,077 tons or 870 tons per shift. O p erating time for these calculations includes all the lime the mine operated minus the time the longwall equipm ent was nim ing and being set up. Considering the fact that we have experienced seveial rather seiimis roof falls on the head imd tail entries and i n the longwall face and suffered from other problems which slowed production, we are at least not asham ed <>l these figures. Seam rero v riy as we ate pit-s'-ntly up'-mt ing Is good. 'I'll lil -t panel euliies v. ondriven in sets of three entries on 70-fl. cen ters. T h e two rows of 51 ft. x >50 ft. chain pillars w ere left in tin: gob. W hile w olfing w ith these project ions we were i i-covi-i bn; 33 percent of the seam urea between the hott off an d barrier pillar. Now, wo arc driving only tw o entries for developm ent. 'Flic d u in pillar betw een the entries which is lelt in the gob is only 17 ft. thick and 78 ft. long, ro we arc now recovering 00.-17 percent of the seam area. Reducing tbc num ber of chain pillars left in the gob to one row of very thin pillars not only increased scam recovery but it also contributed to our success with the system by elim inating squeezing in the tail entry and on the tail side of the face. In m y opinion, large nun-yielding pillars left in the goh behind the lace and between the caved area and solid m al to be mined on the adjacent panel has born the piiucipal cause of the failures in the retreat Iongwaii m ethod of m ining in most cases. They will also cause squeezing and hum ping in other scams, over and under, when they are mined in later years. There have been numerous growing pains connected with tin* lrtren t lougwall system.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ]Jy F11ED O TTO nON I Senior Industrial H ygiene F.ngr., llarcau of Occupational H ealth, California Stale Dept, of Public Health, llcrkeley, Calif. Occupational health in the construction industry is a subject th a t has not y et re ceived any real interest or attention in the United States. A rticles ap p ea r from time to time in the A m erican literatu re on a specific health hazard, such as lung cancer in asbes tos insulators, or lead poisoning in painters, (hirer than a few papers originating in Cali fornia, w here a start has been m ade on the heat, r. rise, and d u st problem s of heavy equipment operators, almost; nothing seems In hare been w ritten on the present health status of lire individual crafts or on the over all health problem s or needs of the industry. This lack of interest and w ork is signififiut. Either there arc no problem s in the in dustry w orthy of m ention, or th ere is art ap palling lack of some vital ingredient which is necessary for slinnrlating the grow th of a systematic interest in the Health of more (Iran four million A m erican workers. First, let's define "occupational h ealth". The term Iras been so loosely ttsed over tiro last few years that intelligent discussion the subject has been difficult. Snore pen; interpret it to mean everything from a < finger to the social w ell-being of the err, man's family. For onr purposes here, la ever, occupational health means the p u v tion of work-caused disease and disability control of the work environment, an a whore both labor and inrmngriui i.t lima clear responsibility for observation, disc siort, and hazard control. This definition quires particular meauiug when one e-di that lire, majority of occupational diseases not curable; they are. only preventable. Five conclusions have emer g' d fn-m similes rrf occupational health pw bhm x the construction industry. AVc feel thee fundam ental, if progress is to he made. 'I arc lire resrdt of nearly five years of oh :-i lions in California. T hey dram atically n the lack of interest, the lack of prociams the lack of action that beset the m lu.ln is reeirgni/.ed that lire im m ediate dr mam 1907 National Safety Congress ,J S 000634 m ,,* S,T,, ,, , pressing snfi'ty problem s in the im lustry n u y , in part, lie responsible fur s111 >11nv.\ini; any concerted interest in health problems. W hile no a tte m p t is m a d e h e re to d etract from the im portant responsibility for acci den t prevention in the in d u stry , it is time that programs in w ork-induced disease pre vention begin to receive the attention they deserve. High accident frcrpioncios cannot, by any stretch of the im agination, justify a lack of interest in healthy working condi tions. O ur first conclusion--th ere is a basic need to recognize that construction workers arc now suffering job-induced diseases and that new diseases will emerge w ith advancing tcclm. logy. T o the casual observer or eve.'i a m em ber of the industry itself, it is reasonable to b e lieve th a t o ccupationally-induced diseases in construction work are not a prbblem. The crafts have long histories of working out doors in the fresh air w ith ham m ers, shovels, and other tools w hich have in tli past tradi tionally presented safety problems, but not health problems. |i A look at the Federal or Statu health sta tistics appear to support this concept: not because there is a lack of problem s, b u t b e cause neither the Federal government nor the states--w ith th e possible exception of California--keep an y statistics on th e sub ject. W hen no disease is reported, it is n atu ral to conclude th at none exists. However, w hat appears as no problem is, in reality, no information on the problem . Experience in California supports this con clusion. In recen t years, physician's reports of occupational diseases among construction workers have been coming into the State Health D epartm ent at approximately twice tire average rate for all California workers. Since 1949, w hen recording began in Cali fornia, this rate has been continuously among the three highest of all the major in dustries. T he diseases involve the skin, the lungs, system ic poisonings, hearing loss--es sentially the w hole range of illnesses nor mally believed to lie in the exelusive prov ince of factory workers. Field investigations suggest th at more is to come. For example, an estinratc based on hearing tests conducted at construction sites by fully-qualified audiologists indicates that some 2 0 ,0 0 0 heavy equipm ent operators now w orking in th e sta te h av e perm anent noiso- induccd hearing loss. The trend toward larger, faster, and more pow erful equipment, designed w ithout eonsuleraliou for tin: limitterm health of the operator, is expected to intensify this hearing loss problem . I t also ii expected to introduce silicosis for the first time as a disease of th e operators of dozers, power shovels, and front-cud loaders. T h e equipm ent o p erato r is no t alone io facing these health hazards. T h e recent re placem ent of th e plasterer's conventional trowel w ith a spray nozzle has introduced serious h earing loss problem s insofar as the I plaster guns th a t w c have m easured are con cerned. F u rth er, the gun application of as bestos-containing fireproof coatings continues w ithout control an d w ith o u t concern. Yet, i d ata com ing in regularly from studies ol ! m en w orking around asbestos d ust leave very little d o u b t th a t the gun o p erato r and]? other craftsm en in th e area are b ein g sub jected to th e risk of asbestosis an d lung can cer. T h ere are m any m ore exam ples. Plastic adhesive a n d surfacing m aterials have made life an itch y nig h tm are for th e tile setter and th e cem en t m ason. I t is im p o rtan t to realize ; th a t much of this skin disease is accompa nied by a peiiiiau en t allergy to the; eposy resin h ard e n e r used in th e process. The slightest fu rth er exposure to th e hardener brings on a rep eat case of th e itch and the man is perm an en tly disabled for any further work with the plastic. A nother exam ple involves today's welder. T here w as a tim e w hen very little except or dinary steel w as found on a construction job, An u n p ro tected w elder could w ork w ith very little h azard from fum es. Alloys are changing this. F o r instance, inhalation of th e fumes , from m anganese steel w ill pro d u ce an illness w hich closely resem bles Parkinson's disease C onsider also th a t nickel, cadm ium , vana dium , a n d som e o th er m etals are toxic by in halation. I t is d e a r th a t th e pick and shovel are gone, an d along w ith them w en t th e fresh air an d th e iron m an. T h e construction in dustry has en tered the era of m achines and chem icals, am i it slum hi recognize this. A second eoiielosion--it m ust ho recog nized th a t th e m ethods w h ich h av e been de veloped for th e pro tectio n of th e factory w orker m ay n o t h e feasible on a constructioa job. M ost o f th e occupational h ealth literature and practically all of the p reventive methods in use w ere developed w ith th e factory worker in m ind. T he factories | critical industrial health pro] 19lh and early 20th centuric where the interest, the reset- the money has been invested. T h e em phasis today, although com paratively sm all, is still on the factory. As a result, the standard con trol methods available in all tire textbooks, ventilation, isolation, enclosure, substitution, and personal protection, are organized to make practical and econom ical sense in a factory setting. The factory band works for the most part in a fixed location. Exposure is repetitive nod predictable over a long period of time. U tili ties are available and control m ethods can bo designed, tested, and finally built-in as p art of the com pany's long-term cap ital invest ment. I t is not unusual to see a $2 0 ,0 0 0 ven tilation system built into a p la n t to p ro tect 19 or 15 welders. But look at the w elders on the construc tion job. In n lifetim e, each' w ill have done about as m uch w ork and g en erated as m any fumes as a factory w elder. H ow ever, th e control system here is non-existent, because the control m ethods in the textbooks do not make practical or econom ic sense on a con struction job. Factory spray painting is d one in a v enti lated booth, according to th e books. Since a booth would cost too m uch on a construction job, we scratch our heads and spray paint anyway. Dust, noise, heat, and alm ost any health problem is controlled by cookbook m ethods in the factory'. T he cook book doesn't w ork for construction, so w e live w ith th e problem s and hope th e y will go aw ay. It is now critically necessary th a t wo ac cept the fact th a t a construction job is not the same as a factory job, an d th a t th e fac tory hazard-control cookbook--although free -is not applicable. A third conclusion--w c m ust begin to d e velop our own occupational h ealth stand ards. The golden era of occupational health in ibe United Slates ended in the d-!i)50's. Hit movement w hich begun in the I(ISO's and provided w ide know ledge of industrial diseases and excellent textbooks is slowly dying. T he F ederal program is sm all and without legal authority. S tate program s not only have been declining in m anpow er, hut show little interest in the construction indus try- The traditional stan d ard -settin g agency 11,0 co" ,ilr>'- ,1,r r J f t *<iflW 'J A ( iovrr in ju i-IM In- ^dependent upon its does-paying mcinTCTS'* for support. Its $13,000 yearly total budget will not cover more than a fraction of the country's prob lems, and that fraction will lie factory-or iented. On this basis, it is unlikely that the widely subsidized work that went into helping tin industrialist to understand his problems and to custom-tailor his environmental control will he available to the construction indus try. T he facts arc that the responsibility for providing a reasonably healthy place to wmk lies directly w ith construction labor, aiul construction management. T he need for environmental standards is grow ing with each day. Noise olfcrs a fine example: Heavy equipment, trucks, compres sors, chain saws, jackhammers, and a wide variety of power hand tools are producing hearing loss th at is reaching scandalous p ro portions. There arc choices. The individual contractor can hire an aecoustics expert and m odify these tools at his own expense. As another choice, he can attem pt to stuff ear plugs In his men, a m ethod that will he el no practical value on a construction job, and one that will probably reduce productivity. A popular alternative is to do nothing and let the insurance companies worry about it. The sensible solution is to collectively write a set of performance standards for power equipment. These can be written right now, from knowledge at hand, ami would specify maximum allowable noise in tensities at an appropriate given distance from the equipm ent. The tool manufacturer.' may have difficulties at first. But their engi neering and research departments arc avail able and in the best position to control hear ing loss at the lowest possible cost. Adequate labelling also must he consul ered. Very few of the materials capable o causing eye, skin, or lung problems such a plastics, paints, welding rods, (luxes, sol vents, lubricants, etc., have useful warnin' labels when they reach the construction silt This has two negative effects, in addition ti tire potential for injury. First, even the inter csted men cannot find out how to protec themselves. And second, if the m aterial deccause a problem, the rnen have no ch ar ir formation that might he useful in selecting less harm ful product for the next job. l(>7 National Safely Congress 'l'liis is particu larly d ram atized by the ex perience of lire cem ent masons, w here labels are often so vague as to m ake it impossible, for them to determ ine w hether the surfacing material they are expected to apply on a particular job is a derm atitis-causing epoxy, a bronchospasm-causing urethane, or a rela tively safe polyester. The noise and label problems arc straight forward. They follow the textbook closely. Others m ay not be so simple because of the mobile nature of construction work. Solu tions to these will require im agination and money. Ideas from the space program are sure to be useful and we expect to see ex ploitation of the controlled individual envi ronm ent in the form of air-supplied suits for plasterers, cement masons, and welders; and air-conditioned, noise-and dust-tight capsules for heavy equipm ent operators. Standards, once set, can m ake these easily accessible at mass-produced costs. T he logical approach is to accept the re sponsibility and begin to develop some standards that can be put into contracts and equipm ent purchase orders; otherwise die industry faces attrition of skilled m anpower, higher compensation costs, hazard pay, and if the problem gets bad enough, die inevita ble application of tlic ill-fitting' industrial cookbook to these construction jobs. A fourth conclusion--records and statistics must he kept. I repeal, health inloi matinii on working men is scarce. T his is particularly so in the construction industry because even the infor m ation th a t is obvious in a factory is clouded by the nature of construction work. A factory is a relatively perm anent envi ronment. Jobs acquire reputations: they smell; old tim ers get lung disease; this or th at chem ical w ill m ake you sick if you in hale it. T his is epidem iology in ils most primitive form, done w ithout the help of the professionals or the government. Neverthe less, it is very effective in discovering dis eases and developing control methods. Contrast this w ith a construction job. The office is often a house trailer and a single craft is not likely to be on a given job for m ore d ian a y ear. W h o now is going to do the t-pidemiology? W ork-induced health ; dam ai, suffered by a craft during the course of a single project very easily passes without potice. It is no t u n til a scries of such projects ' --and years--have passed th a t disability is m arked enough to p revent fu rth er employ- , mont. A t this point, causc-elfect relationships are obscure. No single ev en t can be held re sponsible, and lliu w ork force has a few less craftsm en. If by some chance th e illness is recognized as w ork-induced, th e last em ployer m ay be bold responsible for the entire cost of com pensation. T his is no solution. F or example, earth m over operators have long suspected th a t som ehow spinal prob lems are connected w ith th eir jobs. This may or may not b e so; th ere are no statistics. It is hardly possible th a t all e q u ip m e n t operators are born w ith b a d backs. I t is most likely, how ever, th a t th e v ibration an d bouncing on ; some types of scats on som e types of equip m ent are causing spinal dam age. Unless it is know n, first, w h e th e r o r n o t operators are truly suffering spinal problem s and second, . exactly w hich m achines an d w h a t conditions arc responsible for th e problem s, prevention . of "back trouble" will be impossible. W ith com puters now available, it is feasi ble to record the p e rtin e n t details of every job, every illness, a n d every d e a th for every . m an w orking in th e construction industry. This should be done b y every craft union, , w ith the cost sh ared b y the employer. Rou- i line com puter o u tp u t w ill then tell us y w hether painters die young, o r equipment operators get silicosis*, o r plasterers get em physem a, and w h e th e r th e lu n g cancer that has been found in asbestos insulators ii being controlled or not controlled. A fifth conclusion--uniform , reusomibk regulation must bo insisted on. Com petition is very real in construction. In fact, it appears to b e so fierce th at it often > is cited as th e justification for poor health and b a d safety practices. F o r instance, the question as to w hy w ater is n o t being used to control d u st on a given h a u l road vety : often w ill b rin g the reply th a t this is highly com m endable; how ever, "it w as not included in th e job estim ate becau se th e competition , never includes such tilings, a n d in order to b id die job successfully it w as necessary toy dispense w ith the w ater wagons". T his is a sta n d a rd an sw er fo r many prob lems. Its effect is to p enalize d ie legitimate contractors an d to m ake th e n atural growth . of healthy w orking conditions next to impos sible. This fan atic in terest in cost-reduction seems to be eroding th e few existing health .standards accepted by the industry. F or exam ple, everyone know s that a sand blaster should w ear an airsupplied helmet j 2 - Constrvctioi Secti. '> This has been accepted w ithout question for decades. Yet during the last year the w riter has seen five construction jobs w here snnd- blastcrs w ere w orking. T hey all religiously ore the pro p er helm ets--b u t no t one had an air-supply hose connected to the helm et! Apparently the a ir supply isn't being figured into the bids anym ore, even though it is still in the law. Diesel engines in underground co n stru c tion are an exam ple of long-term , legal ero sion. Diesels w ere allow ed underg ro u n d only after long study and, finally, th e setting of rigorous standards by th e B ureau o f Mines. These included specially designed engines, matching exhaust scrubbers, and ventilation rates based on num bers w hich accom panied the vehicle from th e m anufacturer. C o m p e te t've progress over the last 2 0 years has led to lire erosion of standards and the acceptance of any diesel vehicle w ith a hom e-m ade scrubber, an d ventilation rates based on air sampling m ethods th a t have not b een proved reliable. T he engineered an d tested stan d ards and safety factors prepared b y th e B u reau of Mines are being forgotten. A lthough a few contractors still use B ureau of M ines equipment, continuous pressure from th e in dustry has eroded the m inim um stan d ard . One thing is certain: eroded stan d ard s, no m atter lmw legal, neither increase profits nor make diesel exhaust belter to smell nor safer to inhale. The competilive imhicemeiit to sa'.i m oney by shaving health and safety costs need not continue. Good applicable stand ards, as they arc developed under nor third conclusion noted above, can be made a pail of all construction contracts and all lahoi management contracts. In this way, health) working conditions will be officially recog nized as a legitimate cost of doing business and the toll will be paid in dollars by tin buyer of services rather than in the healtl and longevity of the craftsmen who providt them. The construction industry has a host o 'h id d e n and pressing occupational lu-altl problems, with more to conic. For the shell term future, governm ent rescue docs neJ seem possible and a serious and planned ef fort by managem ent and labor is badh needed. T he construction industry has enjoyed nn< become addicted to the privileges of hart w ork and fresh air. Change is always diili cult. But one way or another, like it or not the technology that we are using to changr the face of the earth will, in the long run change us also. f li)tS7 National Sujet y Congress names arc different. Following the directions of the m anufacturers in mixing and applying these chemicals is the safest policy and will give the most effective results.

A cquaint private physicians w ith n ature of work, requirem ents of Benefit Plan, and function of company medical staif. This lias been accomplished by various means, rang ing from simple phone calls to plant visits to open houses for community doctors. W e find n direct correlation Between the amount of familiarity a patient's doctor has with the com pany and the length of illness absences. 2. Visitation of sick employees to discuss convalescent progress. This visitation may be done by supervision or nurses. In the past we have utilized visiting nurses, bu t we are having our nurses primarily visit by tele phone now. It is still com pany poliev to have supervision visit the employee to snow con tinued interest in th e em ployee w hile h e is disabled. 1 3. O nce a p atien t is am bulatory, he is asked to visit the company dispensary. The ability of the employee to return to h is regu lar job or to "light duty" can then be dis cussed between company and private physi cians. O bviously, this kind of close attention to em ployee's health, and to th e work and home environments that contribute to it, can best be accomplished by an on-premise m ed ical force. A company as large as W estern Electric finds the effort not only a hum ani tarian necessity, b u t one w hich pays off in on-the-job performance. T h e scale of W estern's com m itm ent to em ployee health can be seen in these figures --37 full-tim e and 99 p art-tim e physicians; health and safety programs at 57 company OFFICERS OF THE locations; programs ranging from biome chanics to computerized epidemiological studies, and fundam ental research in such INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE varied fields as h eart disease and laser haz ards. .\ NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL 1967-68 I appreciate that smaller companies can not spread these costs across u large em ployee body. M any companies have found that private clinics can take on this vital' medical-management partnership. Others de p en d on insurance benefit p lan s--a sure way to prolong absences. Many reports have indi-; cated there is a tendency for len g th o f ab- 1 sences to increase as benefits increase. Sound m anagem ent p lan is essential to control absenteeism. It creates the psycho-' logical and physical environm ent conducive1: Vice President fo r In d u stry--II. S.
