Government Code for Safety of Woodworkers

Washington, D. C., June 20.-A copy of the revised Safety 'Code for Woodworking Plants, recently published by the United States Department of Labor and approved by the American Standards Association, has just been received from the latter Association bv the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. This -Code, designed to insure as far as possible safety to life,limb and health of woodworkers in plants, carries recommendations and requirements based upon the widest and most recently availab.le experience data.

In calling attention to the Code. Cyril Ainsr,vorth, Safetl' Engineer, American Standards Association, points out that the full effe'ctiveness of the work of the groups that have given their time and attention to its preparation will not be realized unless it is generally adopted by those in whose interest it was compiled. Its possible benefits were so widely foreseen that the cooperation of the twenty groups that assisted in its development, including the Federal government, was readily enlisted. With the code in shape it is urged that all woodworking plants adopt its requirements and recommendations.

Arthur T. IJpson, Assistant Trade Extension Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, and representing that body on the "owners of equipment" group cooperating in the code's preparation, has urged that all employers of woodworkers and wood lvorking plants generally immediately take steps to apply the latest provisions of the 'code. In most instances this will involve only minor equipment changes or additions, most plants operating on a high safety grade.
