moving vehicles and 11 all others these causes are listed in their order of precedence it will bd seen therefore that the mechanical accidents are greatly outnumbered by the various other typed handling material being the outstanding cause of most accidents these facts naturally suggest the thought that a little more care on the part of thoso engaged in industry would mean that each year we
