While there has been only one major accident during 1951 there have been many which required medical attention. As long as we work in a manner such that an accident can happen, it will happen sooner or later. Albert Holmes, for a long time an operator on the Pick Pulling Machine, is a tragic example of what can happen as a result of an accident. Albert has undergone untold pain and misery and will be disabled for a long time. The use of his left arm will be greatly af fected by this accident- Help prevent injury to your fellow workers.
