The Federal Government’s
hard-line follow up on the new
Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) was evident in a 12-
month report issued recently.
According to Charles Wessel,
vice-president of Interstate
Service Corp. of Chicago, a Globe
Security Company, the industrial
community is feeling the impact
of the Government’s rapid and
effective implementation of
OSHA by what has probably
become the busiest Review
Commission in the country.
“More than 32,707 compliance
inspections have been made,”
Wessel said, “covering some
29,500 establishments employing
approximately 5.9 million
workers.”
“Although about 25 per cent of
the locations inspected were
found to be basically in com
pliance with OSHA standards,”
he pointed out, “still there were
102,861 violations reported and
23,231 citations issued.
“The dollars it will cost the
companies in penalties levied by
OSHA regional directors have
amounted to $2,291,147.”
Wessel, who heads the
organization that has become one
of the nation’s top four security
firms, said that the Federal
Government’s focus on a major
problem in America today is both
timely and imperative.
Interstate Service, with more
than 80 years of experience in the
industrial-commercial security
field, is a leading proponent of the
now popular theory that safety
and security indeed go hand in
hand.

“Safety for an individual
worker comes about only after
safeguards have been un
dertaken,” Wessel pointed out
“It is not enough that machinery
is accident proof, and the
materials the workers use be
harmless; the employee and the
equipment must be guarded by
an effective safety and security
program that systematically
covers every weak point.
“Materials must be arranged
to avoid the threat of fire, alarm
systems must be ‘designed to
protect all vulnerable areas of an
establishment, locking devices
must be installed in such a way
that the building is impregnable
against outside vandals. The only
way a company can be both safe
and secure is to have a thorough
going program designed for their
individual needs.”
“One concern of the Govern
ment,” Wessel explained, “and it
is a proper one, is to overcome
security and safety weakness
before disaster occurs.”
The remifications to an in
dividual company, subject to the
relatively new Government
regulations under OSHA, are
complex, seemingly almost
endless, Wessel went on to say,
and he suggested that firms gird
themselves both in general
knowledge of the Act and the
specific application to their
companies.
“The added stigma a company
may receive now from non
compliance with a Government
regulation is another reason for
preventative measures,” Wessel
added. “The company’s em
ployee relations and its image to
its stockbrokers and the public at
large are all endangered by a
lack of understanding of the Act
