+WE MUST REMEMBER THAT MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY COMPRISES, FOR THE MOST PART, VERY MANY SMALL FIRMS OFTEN SERVICING OR ASSISTING THE LARGER CONCERNS.
+MANY OF THEM OPERATE FROM UNSUITABLE PREMISES WITH A MINIMUM OF CAPITAL AND WITH THE MORE UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE THEIR BUSINESSES STAND ON CROWN LAND OR INDUSTRIAL LAND AWAITING DEVELOPMENT, OR IN RENTED NON-INDUSTRIAL ACCOMMODATION.+
DR HAYES SAID ALTHOUGH NOT ALL OF THESE SMALL FIRMS WERE BACKWARD, THEIR OPERATIONS ARE OFTEN VERY BASIC AND OLD-FASHIONED AND THE OWNERS LACK UP-TO-DATE SAFETY AND HEALTH KNOWLEDGE IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.+
THERE WAS A NEED FOR THE ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION, TO MAINTAIN A WIDE INTEREST AND TO PROVIDE WHATEVER ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE IT COULD TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND TO GOVERNMENT AGENCJES.
HE CONGRATULATED THE ASSOCIATION ON ITS ENERGETIC PROGRAMME OF TALKS AND SEMINARS DURING THE PAST YEAR AND ON ITS PUBLICATION OF A NEW BI-LINGUAL MONTHLY SAFETY MAGAZINE.
HE FELT SURE THAT NOTHING BUT GOOD WOULD COME FROM A CONTINUING CLOSE LIAISON WITH HIS DEPARTMENT.
