THIS SAFETY MOVEMENT AND THEREFORE THE REASON FOR
Statistics compiled by one of the leading life insurance
companies of America show that in the United States during the
year 1916 there were approximately 34,000 fatal accidents; 600,
000 serious injuries, and 4,000,000 other injuries. These figures
aione are appalling, but when we know that approximately 90
of all these accidents were preventable, we begin to realize that
an awful toll of life and limb is being paid grim "accidents,"
and the time has come when some step should be taken toward
eliminating this needless human suffering.
Of tliis enormous number of accidents over one -half have been
classified as "industrial" accidents or accidents occurring to employes of the
manufacturing industries and public service companies throughout the country.
I litis the importance of a "Safety" movement in an industrial center such as
this is at once made plain.
Of the great number of industrial accidents possibly 50rc could have
been avoided if workmen had not been careless. Another 25rr could readily be
attributed to "thoughtlessness," while an additional 15 was caused by "undue
haste" and "ignorance," thus leaving only about 10 due to unavoidable and
unprevcntgblc accidents. Now arises the question:
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT THESE ACCIDENTS?
To answer this question briefly yet effectively a few safety rules will he
laid down for the shop worker which if properly observed will do more than
anything else to prevent you, Mr. Shop Employe, from taking your place
among the long list of injured.
