Mr. Ltarpenter spoke to us on the oraaniza-
it's prime responsibil-
ity, that of accident prevention,

During the nast five years, three depart-
ments in the area of safety prevention have
been devised. The major part is the Accident
Prevention Inspection Department in which
over 50 inspectors are employed to cover all
industry in the province with the exception
of mining covered by the Dept. of Mines.

The second preventive agency is the
Industrial Hyqiene Dept. formed about 2 years
ago with about 12 people employed. Industri-
al disease is an insiduous thing and consid-
ered equally important as injuries. They
look after the hygiene of noxious fumes,
gases, and dust, etc., and samples of mater=
ials may be sent here for verification of
content and safety.
