Lars is a lot
OF MONEY T
injuries, and this is something that
must be borne entirely by the injured
person and his or her loved ones.
We all realize that the cost of operat
ing is an important item in any busi
ness, and that any costs connected
with accident cases must necessarily
be included in operating expenses.
Taking this into consideration, we
must admit that we are helping to in
crease operating costs and throwing
money away, so to speak, when we
sustain any injury that results in
payment of compensation or medical
costs.
In every industry throughout the
world, steady employment depends
upon increased production and low
operating costs. Our industry here is
no different in that respect from any
of the others, and the importance of
keeping operating expenses at a mini
mum should be foremost in our minds
at all times. It is easy to visualize just
what would happen at home if we al
lowed our expenditures to exceed our
income. We should always have the
same slant about operations here in
the plant, and do our utmost to trim
the operating costs in every way pos
sible.
One of the best ways we can assist in
this is by lowering our accident fre
quency rate, and this can only be ac
complished by each and every one of
us becoming Safety Conscious, to the
extent that we take a vital interest in
our Accident Prevention Program.
We must remember that the person
who gets hurt is always the greatest
loser, and that those who remain acci
dent-free will always reap the great
est dividends. SAFETY will never
cost us anything unless we get hurt,
and keeping our names off the list of
those who have experienced personal
injuries will always be DARN GOOD
BUSINESS.
