FOR YOU AND YOURS
Our being interested in the program for the
prevention of personal injuries, means much
more than just being careful ourselves. It means
being interested in the safety and welfare of our
fellow-workers, and forever doing our utmost
to help prevent accidents of every type.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING and CLEANLINESS
will always be essential, if we are to eliminate the
serious type injuries and keep the minor ones
at a minimum. This is something that will pay
the right kind of dividends throughout the plant.
An analysis of the accidents that have occurred
here over a period of ten years, brings out the
fact that POOR HOUSEKEEPING has contri
buted to a great many of our personal injuries . . .
injuries that could have been easily avoided by
just having a "place for everything” and "keep
ing everything in its place”. In other words, if
it doesn’t belong on the floor, pick it up..
When oil spots, cores, and waste material are
kept off the floor and the plant is kept as clean
as it should be, then the slipping and tripping
hazards that often cause serious injuries are truly
eliminated. These are things that we should watch
for at all times, as it is our responsibility to help
remedy hazardous conditions in every way pos
sible.
The interest that has been manifested in our
accident prevention program by the personnel as
a whole, has indeed been very gratifying. It is
that type of continued interest that will pay divi
dends to all of us, in making our plant one of
the safest in which to work. A safety program in
industry today is somewhat like a "CHAIN” . . .
"it is just as strong as its weakest link”, and one
”chance-taker” can easily ruin a good safety record
in a few seconds.
Lets all resolve to THINK and TALK SAFETY
at all times.
