Managers of small operations are haimed by a host of problems m all fields Seldom do they have the expertise or can they find time for proper study of accidents and their causes 4 In small units, statistical measures of per formance are unreliable, so that it is diffi cult to produce clear-cut evidence as to the cost of accidents versus the effectiveness of accident prevention work In other words, a small operation may have, by luck, a good or bad accident record over a few years, whether or not its safety program is sound These are obstacles to progress--real and serious ones They are not, of course, excuses for failure to try to prevent accidents The trade association approach offers some real hope for improvement on a group basis Labor-management cooperation At top levels, and in some cases at the grass roots, progress has been made in enlisting the support of organized labor in management's campaign to reduce accident losses In 1949, the National Safety Council issued a policy statement declaring the common in terest of labor and management in accident prevention Even before this data, repre sentatives of leading labor organizations served as members of the Council's governing boards.

I was very sorry to have missed you on the occasion of your recent visit to Cincinnati* for I should have been pleased to talk with you about various phases of our work* I am sure you obtained all of the practically useful Information from Dr* Sanders however* so that I trust your trip to Cincinnati served your purpose* / I believe you received most of the reprints of our work ishtch were available* On the other hand there was a series of articles which had been translated into Spanish* which* X believe* will be useful to you in that language* Accordingly I have sent you,under separate cover* copies of these translations* If you should find that you require additional copies of these translations* please do not hesitate to let me know for I had these articles translated primarily for the use of medical men who are concerned with this problem* 1 should appreciate it if you would drop me a note from time to time* letting me know of your progress and specially of any difficulties which may occur# Our experience in other countries in connection with the occurrence of difficulties may well be of seme value to you if such trouble should arise* In any case I try to keep in touch with what occurs in various parts of the world in this connection* It is possible that your attention was not called with emphasis to the rather serious hazards which may be associated with the cleaning out of storage tanks which have been used over a considerable period of time for the blending and storage of leaded gasoline* We have had a series of accidents In this country which have been the result of failure to carry out the regulations which we have prescribed in connection with this work* It seems that from time to time a group of workmen will Insist upon entering these tanks for the purpose of cleaning without being supplied with the necessary protective clothing# and especially with an airline hose mask* Under certain unusual oircumstmcos \ 2* * - it may happen that concentrated Ethyl Fluid introduced into the gasoline in too rapid a stream may sink to the bottom of such tanks and lie there over a period of months or years in the sludge# This happens of course, only if there is a water bottom in the tank# Subsequently when men enter such a tank to clean it, they may have serious contact with concentrated Ethyl Fluid, and they may also he exposed to relatively concentrated vapors of tetraethyl lead# All of these things can b avoided by proper attention to the regulations which we have devised and which are given in detail in the booklet of regulations which you have# I call your attention to this point as being the one thing which is most* likely to result in serious difficulties, in order that you may warn your people against this danger and urge upon them the necessity of proper precautionary measures* Cordially yours, RAKiiS r ^ FT1 7 " k5H^710* KE" 00J34a0
