Fifteen workers were injured to the extent that they lost time from work. Some lost only a few days—others lost as much as five weeks. All of these accidents were caused by a human act. That is to say none of them were caused by explosions, machine failure or something entirely unavoidable. These accidents can be con trolled by knowing how to do the job, using proper tools, by giv ing careful attention to the job, and by being alert for hazards be fore they cause an injury.
