Gentlemen:
Herewith I am transmitting a reprint of the New York State
Industrial Bulletin concerning the subject of radium poisoning and
its prevention.
We wish to call your attention particularly to the rules
suggested for the safeguarding of the health of workers in luminous
dial painting. It is our belief that these rules are practicable
and reasonable of observance even in *small establishments and we
earnestly request your cooperation in the enforcement of such rules.
On the other hand, should you have any criticisms or suggestions to
make with reference to this publication, we would be very happy to
receive such criticisms at your earliest convenience.
In the meantime, would you be kind enough to answer the
following questions for us directly on this letter and return the
same to us at the earliest possible moment:
1. How many of these rules or similar rules are you observing in
your plant?
2. Have you any additional safeguards to suggest at this time?
Assuring you of our desire to cooperate with you in every
way, I am
Very truly yours,
Leonard
Leonard Greenburg, I.D.
