collect scientific data from workers on oil platforms. Her program had also 

 involved filling out observaiton sheets. She said her program had worked fine 

 until the workers got \ery busy. At that point they ceased to take the time 

 to fill out her sheets. Dr. Siva put us in touch with Bob Carlson who is in 

 charge of operations. He suggested that we make a formal written request. 

 He responded to our letter by saying he felt that they were too busy at the 

 time to accommodate the interview program.

Initial contact was with Ken Guziak who supported the program. He put us in 

 touch with Ray Barnds. Subsequent communications were with both Mr. Barnds 

 and Mr. Guziak. Mr. Barnds kept saying that he had to have more information 

 about the program before he could make a decision. These communications 

 extended over a period of approximately 3 months. Finally, Mr. Barnds 

 turned down our request on the basis that use of the posters and questionnaires 

 would require extensive training of Union platfonn workers. 



One useful suggestion that Mr. Barnds made was that we prepare a written 

 handout to explain the program to workers before beginning the interviews. We 

 prepared such a handout, and it is included in Appendix A.
