Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Industrial Health-Hazards and Occupational Diseases in Ohio: February, 1915 Whereas, The employment of men and women in certain occupations is known to be attended with more than ordinary danger to health, giving rise to what is known as "occupational diseases," and Whereas, Unnecessary sickness and shortening of life, from whatever cause, is a serious loss and of grave concern to the state and to all the people, and Whereas, It is believed to be possible, by public education and by the enforcement of proper measures, to largely prevent unnecessary sickness and premature death among employes in various trades and occupation, therefore, Be is resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That the state board of health is hereby authorized and directed to make a thorough investigation of the effect of occupations upon the health of those engaged therein with special reference to dust and dangerous chemicals and gases, to insufficient ventilation and lighting, and to such other unhygienic conditions as in the opinion of said board may be specially injurious to health, and to report to the next general assembly the results of such investigation, with such recommendations for legislative or other remedial measures as it may deem proper and advisable. Be it further resolved, That the finance Committee of the House and the Senate be requested to place in the general appropriation bill an appropriation of $7,000 for the year 1913 and $7,000 for the year 1914 for carrying on the above work by the state board of health.
