2 : HINTS ON IRE PREVENTION OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS Commissioner Jackson Comments Upon the Great Loss in Time and Money to Both Employers and Employes Due to Mishaps in 1014 A circular has been issued by John i Price Jackson, Commissioner of Labor and Industry, whieh includes some in ' teresting facts compiled from a tabula tion of the cecidents reported to the y Department of Labor and Industry during the year 1914. Commissioner Jackson savs:, t "Thirty-eight thousand, oue hundred and twenty-six accidents were reported . t& the State Department of Labor and . Industry during year 1914. This ; represents a great loss, not only in . time and money to both employers ; and employes .but also represents a £ widespread condition of suffering and unhappiucss in the families of the ; workmen. "The ono hopeful feature of this record is that of the 38,000 accidents, " 34,000 are reported of minor jserious ness. Such a large number of accidents of this character would seem to indi [ cate a greater amount ot carelessness i than of actual danger and would im |' ply a possibility that the number could ! be greatly reduced. "One of the best ways of prevent ing accidents is by educating the indi . vidual workman to a realization of his - absolute personal responsibility. Each ) man should become trained to avoid foolhardy or careless actions when • working with machinery, and also trained to use the precautionary meth ods that are being so generally devel oped by safety experts throughout our large industries. Employers should see to it that educational work in the mills is accompanied by the best mechanical means of protection, by supplying safeguards for all dangerous places, and where necessary for the moving parts of machinery. "The loss in wages due to the acci ' dents reported was $1,048,503.96, and this is by no means the total amount. In this figure the loss of employers has not been included. Whenever an acci dent occurs, it causes a general disturb ance among all the workmen that re quires some time to settle again to normal activity. The injured man must, in many instances, be replaced by one who is probably new to the es tablishment, and probably less experi enced in that, particular job. In this way the organization of the establish ment is disrupted, production is sened and costs increased. According ly, it may be justly assumed that the $ 1,045, 503.96 given above represents only a part of the total monetary loss. "According to the report, the total number of days lost by the workman on account of these accidents is 426,824. This would be equal to tihe time of one man working steadily from 300 years after Christ to the present, namely, sixteen centuries. As no cases were reported to the department which oc casioned two days or less of inability to work, it can readily be seen that this number of days lost, as well as the amount of money, is far below the total loss in our industries. The aver age loss to each workman, according to the number reported, was 12 days. "If this were all of the story; that is, the economic effect of these 38,126 accidents, it would be sufficiently strong to show a great need of remedy. But when we consider the far-reaching injury to the social well-being of the people of our Commonwealth, the need of remedy grows imperative. It has been found that depending upon these injured workmen are 64.016 other per sons. This means a total of over 100,- 000 persons affected by these acci dents; from another point of view, one person.in every seventy-seven living in our State, affected by the accidents re ported to the department. To the em ployer the loss is of time and money; to the employe the loss is time and money and physical suffering, to the dependents the loss is time and money and sufferings perhaps equaling that of the employe. "The report under discussion, the most, important figures of which have been quoted, shows the economic and social importance of industrial acci dents. It is hoped that this presenta 4 tion will tend to awaken public interest to the necessity of accident prevention work. It is believed that by the united efforts of all concerned this great bur den of suffering and loss can be tre mendously reduced."
