THE RECORD BELOW IS YOURS "A jnCE JOB INDEED" UETS MAKF XT 3 MILLION HOUR ssaaofsrs z,009:,484 hour ^ " SINCE OUR LASTftST TIME ACCIDENT ' ‘ '‘if The above picture which was taken on the morning of July 16, 1951, is a just tribute to every individual who contributed to such a wonderful record without a lost time accident. Without the full cooperation that has been manifested by every employee of Ecusta Paper Division and Endless Belt Corporation in following safe practice pro cedures since November 22, 1950, this goal of TWO MILLION HOURS which was set on March 20, 1951 when we passed our first million hours, would not have been reached. Needless to say, our new goal is now THREE MILLION HOURS without a lost time accident, and with the same manifested interest in prevent ing personal injuries during the next 125 days as has been shown during recent months, there is no doubt but that we can set a new goal about the 20th of November. As has been said before, it is the company’s de sire that continuous operations can prevail with out serious injury to any of its personnel, and every effort will be made to fulfill that desire. We all realize that the person who gets hurt is always the greatest loser, and we must face the fact that in most cases resulting in serious injury, whether ON or OFF the job, lost time is gone forever. It is in deed gratifying to know that not one hour of wages has been lost by our personnel as a result of an accident on the job, since the 22nd of No vember last year. With an average of 1,500 employees per month, this record of 235 days without a lost time acci dent is one we should all be proud of. Not proud to the extent that xve will be satisfied to rest on our laurels, so to speak, but proud to the extent that we will exert even greater effort to eliminate the minor personal injuries that are occurring from day to day. There is no person on earth who should be more interested in YOUR personal welfare and liveli hood, than YOU YOURSELF . . . There is no per son on earth who can contribute as much toward your staying accident-free, as YOU can . . . and surely there is no person on earth who can pos sibly reap greater dividends for having a scar-free body, than YOU YOURSELF. We should all bear in mind that safety is for our s?.ke, and that all accident prevention pro grams have the following goal; "That the work man shall live to enjoy the fruits of his labor; that his mother shall have the comforts of his arm in her age; that his wife shall not be untimely a wid ow; that his children shall have a father; and that cripples and helpless wrecks who were once strong men, shall no longer be a "by-product” of indus try!’ □ NE "THINK” BEFORE AN ACCIDENT IS WORTH A MILLION THOUGHTS AFTERWARD 10
