Paper pads (usually 2 by 3 ft) provide in expensive visuals for small groups Pads, or a number of sheets of paper, clamped on light weight wooden or aluminum folding easels (as flip charts are) are easily portable and al ways ready to go The speaker can keep training material on the pad so that he can refer to it, or throw it away, as he wishes Pads are of real value to those who must lead discussions or run "brainstorming" sessions As each chart is filled, it can be tacked to a corkboard or clipped to a wire running along one side of the conference room This (a) provides the group with a continuous record of what has been dis cussed, (b) lets late-comers catch up to the discussion, without having to stop the dis cussion and have a review, and (c) helps in writing a good report of the meeting --the notes are right on the pad sheets Inexpensive rolls of white paper can be used for homemade charts Even brown wrapping paper will do if material such as lettering is added in a contrasting color which will stand out Material can be writ ten so that it can be read as the chart is un rolled like a scroll Rip charts and show cards Flip charts or show cards may be produced ahead of time or may include blank sheets or blank spaces for on-the-spot additions A hint for using flip charts is given by David Ogilvy, a highly successful advertising man "The best tool ever devised for explaining complicated plans to committees is the flipover easel, which the presenter reads aloud It has the effect of riveting the attention of everyone in the room on what you are saying Here I have some advice to offer It may sound trivial, but it can be crucial to the suc cess of the presentation as you read aloud, never depart from your printed text by a single word The tnck lies in assaulting your audience simultaneously through their eves and their ears If they see one set of words, and hear a different set, they become con fused and inattentive This does not preclude the speaker's use of additional material or interpolating the printed text As with other nonprojected visuals, the speaker adds personality and interest to the presentation (Fig 10-8) The use of assis tants may be justified for more dramatic effect Flip charts are made on heavy paper that has little show-through, but has sufficient flexibility to flip back over the easel Show cards are on a stiffer stock and must be hand held, placed individually on an easel or chalk board tray, or spiral bound (or notebook-ring bound) so that they can be flipped over For use on an easel, 2 ft wide by 3 ft high is an optimum size, for use on a desk top, 2 ft wide by 1V4 ft high is optimum Each sheet or card can have one to four illustrations, depending on how far the au dience is away To help m making the presentation, explanatory material can be placed on the back of each show card or chart for the instructor to read, or brief notes can be written in lightly in blue pencil on the face of the card or flip chart Notes are written small enough so that the instructor can read them, but yet they are "invisible" to anyone in the audience, if he is more than 6 or 7 ft awav Flannel boards A flannel board is a plywood board, com monly 3 by 4 ft, covered with dark flannel A number of frames can be fastened together or placed close together to form multiples of the original size Boll flannel can be tacked, tied, or other wise stretched over any large, flat, slightly inclined surface, including a chalkboard Art work or lettering can be made directly on a special velour-backed paper or on light weight cardboard or heavy-weight paper to which flocking paper with felt adhesive or strips is affixed In an emergency, sand paper can be used instead of the special flocking paper The flocking or sandpaper grips the long-napped flannel with sufficient strength to hold light-weight cards These individual cardboards, with words, designs, or messages on them, can be "slapped on" or built up to create a dramatic effect not possible with other visuals See Fig 10-5 * David Ogilvv, Confessions of an Advertising Man New York City 10017, Atheneum Publishers, 1963 233

Office Safety enters the office, and "taken off" when he walks out the front door In cooperation with the personnel or indus trial relations department, a continual edu cational program in on-the-job and off-the-job safety should be established forall employees, beginning with the supervisors Many firms have formal safety programs for office em ployees--movies, talks, first aid classes Whether formally or informally presented, safety can always be present it can be dis cussed in merit-rating reviews, the NSC "Travel Safety Guide" can be given to an em ployee a few weeks before he goes on vaca tion, safety can be covered during training and m procedure manuals, it can be men tioned when discussing on-the-job and offthe-job activities It can even be reflected m the personal habits and example of the boss, no matter what line level Good example.

Ionizing Radiation a radiation monitor may complete 30 to 50 such surveys per month An over-all figure of 5 radiation-safety monitors for every 300 persons actively work ing with radiation may be a good starting point to estimate the required number of monitoring personnel It should be realized that the degree of activity (high-level or lowlevel) and the quantities employed (large or small) will determine the ratio to be used in a specific case Employees who are regularly assigned film badges may have their film packets proc essed and read weekly or less often If more than a week elapses before unusual readings are investigated, details of exposure may be difficult to ascertain If employees are issued direct reading pocket dosimeters, this dif ficulty may not anse Although the film badge checking service may be purchased, the handling of film badges, dosimeters, and associated records still requires manpower Bio-assay samples for radionuclides are scheduled according to the potential expo sures On the average, two to three such analyses per year per exposed employee should be planned In addition, a sample should be obtained from every newly hired and terminating employee Some people may be sampled at infrequent intervals Em ployees with low probability of exposure should be sampled at least yearly The environment of the plant property, including soil, water, air, plants, and animals, should be analyzed to establish the preva lence of naturally occurring radionuclides The purpose of this work is to record a con tinuing history of trends m the local levels of radioactive materials It is unnecessary if only tracer quantities of radionuclides are in use For example, five radiation-safety men (for monitoring duties only) will be needed for every 300 workers who are working with radiation Additional men will be needed for other radiation safetv work These men can divide their duties as follows 0 2 Personal exposure work (handling film badges --not including costs of process ing film) 1 2 Instrument repair and maintenance 0 2 Waste pickup and handling 14 Decontamination work, handling con taminated materials 3 0 Total men for other work Thus, in this case, 8 0 radiation-safety men (not including supervisors or overhead em ployees) will be needed Survey equipment will be required for routine work Two or three portable instru ments per surveyor (monitor) should be pro vided for low- and high-level measurements The special equipment needed for bio-assay and background laboratory work should be procured by the person who is to make the analyses Nonionizing Radiation from Electronic Equipment The "Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968" amends the Public Health Service Act to include control of "electronic product radiation " This includes all radi ation -- whether it be ionizing, nonionizing, electromagnetic, particulate, sonic, ultra sonic-resulting firom the operation of an "electronic circuit " Among other things, the bill 1 Authonzes the U S Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to set per formance standards to control radiation from electronic products 2 Directs HEW to consult with industry, various associations, government agencies and labor in prescribing standards, and to consult with a Technical Committee prior to prescribing standards 3 Authonzes limited in-plant inspection by HEW based on findings as to safety 4 Requires HEW to review and evaluate in dustry testing programs 5 Requires manufacturers to affix a certifica tion of conformance to applicable stand ards pursuant to testing programs not dis approved bv HEW 6 Requires a manufacturer to repair a defect which relates to safe use, replace the prod uct or refund the money, subject to HEW regulations 1494
