SHOP IN McHENRY ED'S RENTAL RENTS Electric Hammers to Wheel Chairs PHONE 32 COUNCIL EXPERT GIVES SURE-FIRE SAFETY SUGGESTION , A safety man has come up with a sure-fire suggestion on how industry can save itself a lot of money each year. "Extend your safety knowhow and resources beyond the factory gate,-' advised Harry C. Johnson. "Keep your workers as safe off the job as you do on." Johnson is staff representative of the National Safety C o u n c i l ' s o f f - t h e - j o b s a f e t y committee. "A worker injured off the job," he points out. "is just as absent from work as one who has been hurt at his machine. "Off-the-job accidents," he said, "cost industry a huge amount of time and money." Johnson cited figures from a study of the off-the-job accident experience of eighty-four firms .employing nearly 350,000 workers. The statistics show that accidents occur much more often off the job than on -- "as much as five to twenty times more often," according to Johnson. .---The companies represent a cross-section of industry in the United States, Canada and U. S. territories. They are divided into two categories -- 80 companies employing about 210,000 workers, and four companies with 137,000 employes. The companies are engaged in activities ranging from manufacturing heavy machinery to operating paper mils. No. 1 hazard to employees of the 80 companies, the study indicates, is slips and falls. No. 2 hazard: auto and truck accidents. The reverse is true among the four large firms -- autotruck accidents edge out slips and falls' as the main injurydealer. For deaths alone, autotruck accidents are the No. 1 killer of employees of all eighty-four firms, regardless of size. • "All this," said Johnson, "emphasizes the urgent need for greater effort to prevent accidents off the job. "The safety movement desperately needs the kind of leadership business and indus-1 try can give to cut down on accidents and injuries, which cause untold suffering and each year waste huge amounts of money." The art of living is the process of getting along with people you do not like. NOTICE THE McHenry Plaindealer WILL BE PUBLISHED ONE DAY E A R L I E R MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
