An occupational accident, in
the factory, on the farm, or on
the construction site, has three
certain results human suffer
ing to the victim and his family,
economic loss to his employer,
and waste of percious skills to
his country There is another
certainty about such accidents
they are preventable.
The typically American ap
proach to v -the problems of job
safety the joining together of
all interested parties on a volun
tary basis has saved untold
millions of workers from dis
ability and the agonies of in
jury. "We must all make it a busi
ness of primary importance to
devise methods for preventing
the needless accidents that still
happen.
In order to direct the attention
of all our citizens to this vital
work, I have designated May IS
IS as Job Safety Week. Out
standing businessmen, farm and
labor leaders, State and Federal
officials, and representatives
from insurance, education and
safety organizations will con
vene in Washington for the
ident’s Conference on Occupa
tional Safety. Their purpose will
be to design voluntary programs
to reduce preventable work in
juries.
This is a work in which all of
us must share. An injury any
where is a loss to the Nation as
a whole. Safety must become a
daily habit in all our workplaces
if we are to reach pur full poten
tial of strength.
I urge Governors and Mayors
to use their good offices in their
