MAJOR PROGRAMS AND PROPOSALS

Health and Safety Examination Program

Over the summer a medical examination program was conducted in

which all PDS employees with service in excess of 6 months

were examined by The Department of Health, Education and Welfare's
Public Health Service.
They received tests for hearing

acuity, a chest x-ray, blood tests, and a medical history was recorded.
Benefits of this program thus far evidenced have been rewarding,
in that a number of employees have been confidentially appraised

of personal medical problems, which while not affecting their work, are of sufficient cause to merit attention.

Health and Safety Study and Reccommendations

A detailed list of reccommendations and suggestions has been
compiled of what we feel are serious problems and/or hazards
Action should be taken to implement a formal Health and Safety
Program.
