Sheila Pantry BA, ALA, is a qualified librarian with many years experience in library and information work. A varied career in iron and steel, engineering, research and the coal industry culminated in 1977 at the Health and Safety Executive, where she is Head of Library and Information Services. Author of many papers and a well-known speaker, Sheila Pantry has become a leading authority in the UK on the wide-ranging information associated with health and safety at work. She has also carried out consultancy work for Occupational Safety and Health organizations in Canada, Australia (Canberra), Jordan and Dublin, and is a computer addict. 

The consumer is confronted with a confusing number of manufacturers and products with more or less fancy names. However, names or designations are not always in agreement with the performance capability of the refractory product and what is expected. Consequently, the Verein Deutscher Eisenhiittenleute (VDEh) (Association of the German Iron and Steel Engineers) published a code number key for unshaped refractory products. This code number key is provided in the form of a standard titled Stahl-Eisen-Werkstoffblatt 916 (SEW) and was universally accepted and applied by all concerned German-speaking countries (8). 

In 1901, the U.S. National Bureau of Standards (NBS) - now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - was founded because of the increasing demand for various kinds of standards in the rapidly developing engineering industries. The early history of the NBS reference material program started in 1905 with a cooperative effort within the iron and steel industry whereby industrial analysts helped characterize the individual reference materials. Cooperation with NBS was recognized as a mark of achievement for the laboratory, so this effort served a dual purpose. It both helped the laboratory develop its measurement skills and also helped NIST understand the meastuement problems associated with a given matrix.

Structure-to-electrolyte potential measurements are analyzed to determine whether a structure is cathodically protected these measurements are made by the use of cathodic protection criteria. Unfortunately, no one simple criterion has been accepted by all cathodic protection engineers that can be practicably measured in the field under all circumstances. Guidelines for selecting the proper criterion under various circumstances will be provided below. Guidance concerning the criteria of cathodic protection for external corrosion control on underground structures is found in two recommended practices (RPs) published by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE). These are RP-01-69 and RP-02-85. A summary of the criteria for steel and cast iron structures follows [8]. 

Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace is more complex than it has ever been. New materials and new processes have created new problems. About 8,000 new chemical compounds are created each year. Production materials have become increasingly complex and exotic. Engineering materials now include carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, powdered metals, plastics, etc. Each of these metals requires its own specialized processes and has its own associated hazards. Nonmetals are more numerous and have also become more complex. Plastics, plastic alloys, and blends, advanced composites, fibrous materials, elastomers, and ceramics also bring their own potential hazards to the workplace.
