Maryland Industrial Accident Commission Issues Safety Placards
The Maryland Industrial Accident Commission began distributing about 5000 placards detailing the proper accident reporting procedure. Chairman Charles E. Moylan noted changes in compensation laws and urged employers to post the notices to reduce contested claims for late reporting or filing with the commission. Notices require injury to be reported to the employer within ten days, or thirty days if death, with written claims for occupational diseases, and outline minimum safety codes and penalties.
