Description:
This 1958 historical photograph was provided by the Center for Disease Control's (CDC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and depicted a worker in Lompoc, California, handling bags of diatomaceous earth while wearing protective clothing. The image originally appeared in a U.S. Public Health Service Publication No. 601, in an article entitled,'Pneumoconiosis in Diatomite Mining and Processing', 1958. This image, and many others like it, was used to document the many aspects of various industrial activities, so as to better understand these workplace environments, and their associated hazards. In gaining a better understanding of workplace hazards, protocol-formulating bodies such as NIOSH, are better able to create a safer workplace through substantiation of appropriate safety regulations.
