THE ODDS ARE
AGAINST US
IT HAS HAPPENED
HERE
Realizing that self-preserva-
tion is responsible for our in
terest in the prevention of per
sonal injuries, there is something
else that should incite each of
us to guard against every type
of accident that could possibly
occur. Namely, those loved ones
who we leave at home, and xvho
are entirely dependent on us
for their livelihood.
The assurance of returning
home each day free of infuries
and knowing we have earned a
full day’s xvages is well xuorth
our best efforts in remaining
"accident free.”
For the person who looks for
ward to living tiventy years
longer, and most of us have
high hopes of even surpassing
that mark, the odds against us
when taking unnecessary chances
are entirely too great.
To be very frank, the oddf
are over ten million to one
against us luhen we attempt to
save one minute, and take
chances that might easily result
in the loss of life.
We must admit that a great
many of us in this day and time
are prone to gamble occasional
ly, but none of us would accept a
bet with one chance in ten mil
lion of being a winner.
You ask why the odds are
over ten million to one? . . The
answer is that in 20 years there
are 10,512,000 minutes, and
many a life has been snuffed
out in much less than one min
ute.
If we must gamble, why not
place our bets on a sure thing?
. . . Practice safety at all times
and assure ourselves of less suf
fering, higher wages, and a much
longer life.
It is hard to believe that em
ployees will disregard safe prac
tice rules and regulations that
are entirely for their protection,
and yet right here in our plant,
this has occurred on numerous
occasions. With personal safety
