In- spections of industry by compliance officers is the method that will be used to insure that regulations promulgated under the law will be met But especially in the health area it will be the physicians nurses and industrial hygienists who will have to implement the regulations This is why educational activities carried on by the three societies both individually and jointly have such important impact on implementation Another important joint venture of the three professional disci- plines has been the creation of the Joint Accreditation Commission which brings together nurses industrial hygienists physicians and health physicists to develop a set of standards for occupational health programs Representatives of our national societies the IMA the AAIN the AIHA the AAOM the ACGIH the Health Physics Society and the American Academy of Industrial Hygiene are work- ing together with the Kettering Laboratory of the University of Cincinnati as a subcontractor under a contract from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH to develop these An inspection will standards Once they have been developed and found acceptable by industry labor government and the professions they will be put into operation Accrediting an occupational health program will be something like accrediting a hospital An industry which wishes to have its program accredited will

In advanced stages this leads to an interhepatic block (most like ly because of the hinderances in the height of the portal system, possibly similar to a sinusoidal block), with esophagus varices.
