WHO GETS HURT? The most important thing about an accident is simply this: Somebody gets hurt—somebody suffers. Whatever the financial cost—^whatever the loss of production— it’s the pain and hurt that really counts. We talk about the great number of personal injuries—of the people who are per manently disabled for life—of the loss of so many eyes, fingers, or toes— or of the large num ber of fatalities each year, but somehow that doesn’t mean us.—we are never alarmed until accidents affect us individually. The thing to remember is simply this: That next accident may happen to you—the pain and hurt may be yours—and it may last indefinitely. But accidents need not happen to you. The great hope lies in the fact that the majority of personal injuries can be avoided. Start today— Work safely and help avoid accidents to yourself and your fellow-workers. TAKE CARE — NOT CHANCES Realizing that Safety comes not from wishing and hoping, but from expecting and doing, we should all try and foresee accident hazards and eliminate them. Knowing that one accident can upset your whole world, we urge that you stop, look, and live! GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PREVENTS ACCIDENTS! Good Housekeeping HAS BEEN and ALWAYS WILL BE, one of our greatest assets in the pre vention of personal injuries. The old saying of "a place for everything and everything in its place”, must be practiced if our battle to stamp out needless accidents is to meet with success. To leave bottles, cores, and other items on the floor is the same as setting a trap for one of your fellow-workers, as serious injuries often result from slips and falls. Let’s all resolve to pick it up if it doesn’t belong on the floor, for we do know that what can happen, will happen, sooner or later. GOOD HOUSE- KEEPI ...
