§ Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Fuel and Power to state the precautions that are contemplated for the protection of men who work in an environment where the risk of infection by tetanus, following injury, is present.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe small number of fatal cases of tetanus among miners, not more than one or two per year, suggests that the first-aid treatment of injuries at mines has provided reasonably effective protection against infection with the disease. Recently, however, the National Coal Board gave instructions that when a man is injured at a colliery where the risk of infection with tetanus is likely to be present and is sent to hospital, the staff of the colliery medical or first-aid room must notify the hospital accordingly.
