IMI Moves Ahead
(Continued from page 5)
The 1972 promotion program represents a significant step ahead for IMI and the masonry industry. "The extent of our efforts will depend, of course, upon how well we proceed in obtaining support from local groups not yet contributing to IMI," he said. "Based upon the excellent response from local groups to date, I'm confident that we will receive the support needed to tackle the job ahead of us."
IMI's 1971 ad campaign offering free booklets to architects, owners and others involved eight national magazines with an audience of 1.5 million. Based upon response, it proved highly successful, Bidwell said. "The 1972 ad campaign with multiple insertions of each ad will give the masonry industry a total of 3½ million impressions," he said.
Bidwell indicated that apparently professionals in the field of advertising and promotion feel much the same way as the IMI Trustees and Advisors concerning the job IMI is doing. The two IMI ads currently in use were recently selected for 1972 Addy Awards for Excellence from the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Advertising Club. They were prepared for IMI by Henry J. Kaufman & Associates.

OSHA info
(Continued from page 27)
It is important to thoroughly examine your citation during this brief period before your rights of appeal are lost.
In some cases you may not have sufficient time to examine the citation. To extend the time necessary to evaluate your citation, notify your area director of OSHA of your intent to contest the citation. If, at a later date, you decide to withdraw your contesting of the citation, you may do so. Approximately 43% of all the cases brought to the attention of the review commission had their fines reduced.
CAUTION in a number of cases the review commission raised the amount of the fine.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON OSHA VIOLATIONS?
The following appear most frequently as a result of OSHA inspections to job sites:
Uncovered junction boxes; wiring showing at splices; inadequate record keeping; fire extinguishers not tested or tagged; fire extinguishers not mounted; insufficient number of fire extinguishers; no first-aid facilities; inadequate housekeeping; gas cylinders not capped and faulty storage; inadequate lighting; misuse of electrical cords and cables; failure to post Job Safety and Health poster; failure to guard floor and wall opening and holes; scaffolding- no guard rails; defective ladders; hand and portable electric tools not grounded; improper stacking of material; lack of personal protection equipment (hard hats, etc.).
RECOMMENDATION
Any employer who feels he has been unjustly cited should appeal. In deciding on cases the Commission considers: 1) the size of the business of employer being charged; 2) the gravity of the violation; 3) the good faith of the employer, and 4) the employer's history of previous violations.
Appeals procedures are outlined on all proposed citations. Notices of contest must be filed within 15 working days after the notices of citations and penalties are served. The hearing will ordinarily be held in the community where the alleged violation occurred or as nearby as possible.
