National Insulation Manufacturers Association Board Minutes Dropping a Health Program (May 1960)

Minutes of the Board of Directors of the National Insulation Manufacturers Association (NIMA), meeting at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on May 6, 1960, with J. B. Jobe and D. L. Hinmon of Johns-Manville Sales Corp. present. Under the heading "Safety Program," the minutes record in one sentence that "It was the consensus that the establishment of a NIMA Safety Program with respect to health should be dropped." The rest of the meeting dealt with statistics by region, a publicity brochure, staff salaries and an air conditioner for the office.

What it shows

At its January 1960 meeting (Motley #306) the board had heard that the industry "could benefit" from a health program and had promised a recommendation. Four months later the idea was dropped. The minutes give no reason and record no discussion, and the board did not take up the subject again in these pages.
