National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act 1965 - Occupational deafness.
Report by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council under the above Act, on the question whether there are degrees of hearing loss due to noise which satisfy the conditions for prescription under the Act, and for which compensation may be claimed. The Council was required to find, inter alia, if noise-induced hearing loss was a "disease" within the meaning of the Act, and could the extent of occupational noise injury be distinguished (problems of diagnosis and assessment)? The Council concludes that occupational deafness may fullfil the conditions laid down by the Act, provided that deafness due to occupational noise is substantial, appropriate technical and medical services are available for diagnosis and assessment, and there is a closely drawn occupational cover. It is recommended that occupational deafness should be prescribed under the Act and that a benefit scheme should be started. The prerequisites for the scheme are indicated.

The health-impaired miner under the black lung legislation.
This study, prepared for the U.S. Department of Labor, was undertaken to evaluate the success of the provision of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 whereby miners with X-ray evidence of coalminers' pneumoconiosis may request transfer to less dusty jobs in the mine. The procedures by which the miner learns about his health condition and the possible actions under the Act are described: X-ray programme, transfer option, compensation, retirement and rehabilitation. Out of about 3,700 working miners whose radiographs have shown some degree of black lung, only 650 had requested a transfer by the end of Jan. 1973. The results of a coalminers' attitude survey are given. Even at further risk to their health, miners who are eligible for transfer choose to keep their mine jobs because of their vested training, experience, high wages and retirement credits. Statistical tables, questionnaires and 12 case studies are appended.

Medico-legal aspects of occupational hearing loss.
A review of the medico-legal situation concerning occupational hearing loss in the United Kingdom, covering the events leading up to the present situation and probable future trends. Individual sections are devoted to: the sections of the United Kingdom Factories Act, 1961 related to noise hazards; the terms of the United Kingdom National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act, 1965 which provide for financial compensation to be paid for disability arising from employment accidents but which does not cover noise-induced hearing loss of slow onset; and common law provisions in the United Kingdom under which action against an employer for damages in respect of occupational hearing loss was first brought in 1968.

Clinical picture of talc pneumoconiosis - Medico-legal problems arising out of its long latent period
Das Krankheitsbild der Talkpneumokoniose - Versorgungsrechtliche Schwierigkeiten infolge langer Latenzzeit [in German]
Study of a rare case of pulmonary fibrosis due to talc dust. A 59-year old woman who had worked for many years in talc production experienced respiratory distress. Differential diagnosis revealed a case of talc pneumoconiosis. The patient was admitted to hospital for marked dyspnoea and cyanosis and died 2 days later following heart and circulatory failure, after having received oxygen therapy. The post mortem revealed an advanced case of diffuse fibrosis due to talc dust with severe hypertrophy of the right ventricle. The diagnostic problems raised by this unduly long latent period are discussed.

Asbestos fibres in human lungs: Forensic significance in environmental disease
Les fibres d'amiante dans les poumons humains: leur signification médico-légale dans les maladies de l'environnement. [in French]
Exposure to asbestos may be direct, indirect or due to the environment. Affections due to exposure to asbestos include asbestosis, pleural calcifications, pleural plaques, lung cancer and malignant mesotheliomas of the pleura and peritoneum. The discovery of asbestos bodies in tissue sections does not necessarily imply a case history of asbestosis, particularly in the absence of any documentary evidence of exposure to asbestos. It is virtually impossible to ascertain by microscopic examination of an ordinary tissue section whether a presumed "asbestos body" really has an asbestos fibre at its centre. To be absolutely certain other measures must be used, such as the ashed stacked tissue method followed by optical or electronic microscopy.

Forensic medicine as applied to occupational radiodermatitis
Problèmes médico-légaux posés par les radiodermites professionnelles. [in French]
MD thesis. A review of the physical characteristics and biological action of ionising radiation as well as histological and clinical aspects of radiodermatitis is followed by a selection of statistics from the world literature and an examination of data supplied by the Paris Regional Sickness Insurance Fund for the years 1960-1971. 17 studies on forensic medicine and legal aspects are presented, and the difficulties of recognising the occupational nature of certain diseases are studied. The prevention of radiodermatitis, the French legislation establishing protective measures for workers, and administrative and technical measures related to equipment generating ionising radiation are discussed. In conclusion, a critique of the existing legislation is offered and the necessity of observing safety rules is emphasised.

Accident costs with particular reference to the Salary-payment Continuation Act
Unfallkosten unter besonderer Berücksichtingung des Lohnfortzahlungsgesetzes [in German]
Whereas until recently the indirect costs of accidents (mainly insurance premiums) where heavier than the direct costs, the Federal German Act of 1969 which grants a worker the right to continue receiving his salary for a maximum period of 6 months in the event of illness (the Federal German Salary-payment Continuation Act) has significantly altered the situation. The insurance companies are now relieved of the obligation to pay sickness benefit during the first 6 weeks and have thus been able to reduce their premiums. On the other hand, as a result of the Act, the financial burden placed on the firms has been considerably increased. The result is that the ratio of direct to indirect costs has been modified from 1:3 to 1:1. The economic aspects of in-plant safety and health policy thus become more important.

The significance of valency in chromium compounds when preparing expert medical opinions
Die Bedeutung der Valenzstufen von Chromverbindungen in der arbeitsmedizinischen Begutachtung [in German]
With reference to the literature, the author discusses the biological activity, general toxic potential, allergenicity and carcinogenicity of trivalent chromium compounds. Trivalent chromium ions can also be taken up by the body and produce disease and malignomata. Consequently it is not possible to dismiss a casual relationship between typical pathological signs and symptoms and occupational exposure to trivalent chromium compounds.

When one considers the legislation adopted by various countries with respect to the compensation of silicosis, one observes that silicosis is covered according to several different systems that can be broadly grouped together under the following headings: compensation by means of specific legislation; compensation within the framework of accident insurance (based on lists or on special systems); blanket coverage under the general provisions of employment hazards. This publication presents in detail the measures enacted in three countries that can be considered as being representative of the main legislative systems: Union of South Africa (specific legislation); Great Britain (special systems); Germany (lists).
