National Insulation Manufacturers Association Board Minutes on a Safety Program (January 1960)

Three pages of minutes of the Board of Directors of the National Insulation Manufacturers Association (NIMA), meeting at the Biltmore Hotel in New York on January 13, 1960. Directors from most of the large insulation makers attended, among them J. B. Jobe of Johns-Manville Sales Corp. Reporting for a special committee on a safety program, Jobe said a program on manufacturing methods was impractical and accident statistics were already covered elsewhere, but on health "the industry could benefit from such a program"; the subject was to be studied and a recommendation made at the next board meeting.

What it shows

In January 1960 the trade association of the insulation makers put a health program on its agenda, and Johns-Manville's representative reported that the industry could benefit from one. The board's next minutes, of May 6, 1960 (Motley #307), record that the idea of a safety program was dropped.
