C, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 193 SAFETY DESIGNING REDUCES INJURIES Light, Ventilation, Conveyor Methods Are Danger Spots for Workers. A high proportion of industrial ac- cidents ordinarily attributed to work- ers’ carelessness can be prevented by proper plant design, according to & report by Edward R. Grannis of the National Safety Council, Chicago, by the American Chemical Society. Explaining that while 85 per cent of accidents in industry “result largely from careless and unsafe acts of workers,” Mr. Grannis points out that many counted in the 85 per cent can be traced to fatigue and other con- ditions due to poor light, poor ven- tilation, inefficlent methods of con- veying materials and other factors in the control of the designer. “During the prospective stage of new industrial equipment, a quali- fied safety engineer should be a con- stant consultant to those planning future production,” he urges. “It is necessary that some one visualize in advance the possible hazards to be encountered and make provision for their elimination or control. Safety an Early Consideration. “Safety can start even before the plant site is determined. Items such as the relation of the property to mainline railroad tracks over which employes may have to cross, trunk line highways, the proximity of high- tension power lines and the nearness of low, swampy land, where diseases and pests may originate, are matters of great importance. “General structural strength in a building is usually well cared for by the designer, but he must not fail to take into consideration future uses to | Foxhall Rd.

Structural members may be weak- ened by corrosion through contact with certain chemicals, and in other cases fire and explosion may be al- ways imminent. Wide margins of atrength should be used in estimat~ ing floor loads. “Provision for all pipe lines is best made before the plant is built. Pipes installed later may decrease head room and in other ways handicap manufacturing processes. Also, ex- posed piping may be inadvertently ruptured and the escaping contents may injure some one severely, or at least hamper production. Valves should be conveniently located, so that men will not have to go into un- safe places to operate them, and so t remote, safe and quick control may be exercised {n case of an emer- gency. Important valves must be pro- tected so that they cannot be in- jured by moving materials or their operation restricted in any way by stored objects. Hazards in Engine Rooms. “Boller and engine rooms often contain structural hdzards. The size and nature of the power-generating equipment can be determined before the boiler room or building is de- signed. 1If there is any doubt, ample space should be left for all equipment and provision made for the possibil- ity of future growth.
