Organization and Committees porting of unsafe conditions and practices They should be given a more active part m the work and made to feel that the success of the committee depends upon the individual support of each member The primary aim is to arouse interest m the work among all employees to the extent that they will realize that safety is just as important to them as the work thev perform Among the ways of arousing and maintain ing interest among committeemen, none is more effective than supplying members with informative material, such as data from out side sources, frequency of certain classes of accidents, and comparative statements with other months of the year, other years, and other organizations Pamphlets published by the National Safety Council and informa tion gamed through the columns of the Na tional Safety News provide helpful informa tion for committee members and may be used to advantage in promoting a safety spirit Monthly newsletters, consisting of contri butions from members of safety committees, information concerning certain classes of ac cidents noticeable by their frequency, their causes and methods for overcoming them, and interesting articles taken from other mag azines and plant publications, are often used to advantage Knowledge in every occupation is the surest basis of success The value of educating em ployees m accident prevention lies in their automatically watching out for ways in which men are injured, and coming to realize that the personal causes of accidents are just as senous as the mechanical causes There are many other ways of maintaining interest among committeemen, such as wellprepared posters, safety rallies, proper and prompt handling of suggestions by chairmen, rotation of members, membership cards, safety buttons and emblems, and awards for special accomplishments in connection with the safety program More details are in Chapters, "Maintaining Interest in Safet> Recognition by management It is important that management indicate in some way or other its appreciation of the service rendered b> safety committee mem bers The method employed to do this need not involve undue expense or difficulty The following suggestions are worthy of careful consideration 1 Letter of appreciation signed by the gen eral superintendent, plant manager, or an officer of the company 2 Certificate of service that can be framed and displayed m the worker's home 3 Card or badge of membership 4 Expression of appreciation at a general employee group meeting 5 Special dinner or small gifts for safety com mittee members Carrying out one or more of the above sug gestions is one definite way to encourage the members of a safety committee Other meth ods should be employed, too, to convince these men--and through them the whole body of workers - that safety is a serious mat ter, that the management is sincerely inter ested, that the executives are more than eager to do their part, and that worker cooperation is essential for success Self-mobvation A committeeman needs to keep reminding himself how important his work is because re sults can't always be seen He may notice and report some condition that appears dan gerous The person responsible acts on his report and the condition is made safe An ac cident that may have occurred doesn't occur The committeeman may have helped to save somebody from injury and that ought to make him feel pretty good References National Safety Council, 425 N Michigan Ave , Chicago, 111 60611 An Accident Prevention Program for School Shops and Laboratories Management Policies on Occupational Safety, Industrial Data Sheet 585 Meat Industry Safety Guidelines You and the Safety Committee Tamtor, Sarah A , and Kate M Monroe The Secretary's Handbook, 8th ed New York, The Macmillan Co, 1964 46

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
