yy Jot blame for their injuries, { 'were a mere matter of ical changes in the working en tironment, we would have been justi- fied in expecting marked statistical indications of national progress years ago. But accident prevention fs not that. It is essentially an educational movement requiring therestablishment of a new point of view to be applied not only to our industrial activities - but to every aspect of our lives, Industry is rapidly becoming me- chanical, and with mechanical produc- tion and mass production the hazards _become more severe. We note the most striking no-accident records of a few of our big industrial plants. The Clark Thread Company with 4,800 to 5,000 employees operated 268 consecu' tive days without an accidental in- jury. This récord is the equivalent of somewhat more than 1;300,000 man days. If thread-making seems to you rather safe work, let us mention the Edgar Thompson Works of the Car- negie Steel Company with 414,000 man days, or the Consolidated. Works of the Ilinois Steel Company with 444, 000 man days, without accident. In the explosives industry we have the Fuze works of the du Pont with 381,300. man days, record of seven years efficiency. ./ - Safety has turned out be immedi: ately correlated with alertness and Intelligence. Accidents are stupid. Is the untrained, unalert chila . gets hurt, Safety must get into the fsubcon- sciousness of all of us. So says Frank |° B. Morris, safety engineer. Mr. Mor- ris tells us that out of an average group of 25,000 people we can predict that twenty-one will be accidentally killed during the next twelve months. We can go even further, he says, and foretell the ways in which they will probably meet death. Four will be killed by automobiles, three by falls, two by burns, one by firearms, one by machinery, and the rest by other causes. One of the four killed by automobiles will probably be a child under nine years old, and one of the three killed by falls is likely to be a person over seventy-five years old. The number of innocent children sacrificed on the altar of fire every year is so great that we can predict with almost absolute certainty that one of the two to die of burns wil be a child under five years old. Men do not get hurt voluntarily, yet each one of the 118,000 men who in- curred injuries did something to make the accident possible. * There are cer- And 3 BO or visit us, ( more, 3 --J. L. A.
