Repeated accidents to lumber

‘| suggested precautions have
| been tentatively approved by
the Workmen’s Compensation
Board.
“It is the practice of many lum-
‘ber stencillers at each pad ink-
ing operation to pour too much
| ink either on the surface or under
| the felt inking pad. The (then)
aturated felt is then bang-
| ed upon too forcibly (particularly
during busy periods), with the
stencilling stamp, thus causing
ink to splash about in quantity
varying in accordance with the
amount of ink present on the pad
and the force with which the
s placed upon it. The ac-
cident hazard thus brought about
is self-explanatory.
It would follow that in order to
prevent further similar eye acci-
dents in the future in British

Columbia sawmills that all sten-

Ink Hazard Met

cillers should;

1. Avoid the use of placing too
much ink at a time on the
ink pad.

2. Avoid the forceful banging
of the stencilling stamp to
the ink pad as this practice
does not ensure an adequate
“pick-up” of ink but rather
squeezes it away from the
rubber and increases the
possibility of dangerous
splashing.

3. All stencillers should wear,
at all times during stencil-
ling operations, a suitable
eye-shield. This is now be-
ing done at one lumber mill
I know of and with good
results.

4 All mill operators who have
lumber stencilling opera
tions carried out should
have water available within
a few feet of such opera-
tions.

5. All. stencillers should be
properly instructed as to
the proper procedure to take
in the event of ink corrosive
eye and skin burns.”
