DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY
HARRISBURG
March 19, 1926.
United States Radium Corp.,
30 Church Street,
New York City.
Gentlemen:
This Department is collecting data to be used in
the protection of the workers of this state who are handling
radio-active substances. Will you kindly advise me of the
measures you use for the protection of your employees handling
such materials?
I am particularly interested in knowing whether or
not you require physical examinations of your workers. If so,
how often these examinations are made and also the character of
them; that is, what points are especially looked for as an
evidence of early manifestations of the injurious effects of
radio-active substances on the individual?
In addition to the information concerning physical
examinations I shall be very glad to have you describe to me
what precautions you have your workers follow in the handling
of these materials.
Appreciating very much any help you may be able to
give us, I am
Very truly yours,
Elizabeth B. Brisker
