May, 1973
/ AM THE KEY IN T3 .
As you know by now, the 1973
Plant Safety Program slogan is “I AM
THE KEY IN ’73”. This implies that
your interest and participation is very
important in determining the success
of the program.
The program is designed to
maintain continuous interest through
out the year rather than start big,
then fall flat on its’ face after the first
few months.
How? . . . The 1973 program
centers around a contest in which
participants (hourly and non-exempt)
are awarded points for involvement
in the program. Employees can win
from 10 to as many as 50 points as
follows:
TEN POINTS
1. ) For going injury free off-the-job
for one calendar month.
2. ) For avoiding a sub-major or major
injury on-the-job for one calendar
month.
3) For quoting the monthly safety
message when asked by the immediate
supervisor.
4) For assisting in presentation of a
safety meeting.
TWENTY POINTS
For fully preparing and presenting a
monthly safety meeting.

The next time you see your fel
low employee jealously guarding a
little notebook in which he’s adding a
long column of numbers you’ll know
what he’s up to . . . he’s totalling his
safety contest points.

hours on-the-job without a major in
jury ... to win our 5th Board of Direc
tors’ Safety Award on 1/27/73.
