Should Have Inspection
For his own protection, the owner
of agricultural boilers, even though
the law does not cover such boilers,
should have an inspection made reg-
ularly by some competent inspector.
A boiler in itself is just as hazard-
ous on a farm as on the road or
driving a saw mill. Inspections are
not expensive, but boilers are. A
defect found in its beginning is not
always serious and can be repaired
at small cost; the longer it is allow-
ed to go, the more the expense of
repair and the greater the hazard.
To come back to the law again,
the same law as the one covering
boilers, it states that all belts and
pulleys, gears and other machinery,
including circular and band saws,
shall be guarded. ‘The purpose of
this legislation is readily apparent.
Every day in Pennsylvania an aver-
age of about six men are killed and
nearly six hundred men injured in
our industries. Saw mills are in-
cluded in these figures. As an em-
ployer of labor the mill owner is
required to carry compensation in-
surance for his men, and the cost of
this insurance is figured upon a base
rate for the particular industry and
a charge based on the condition of
the individual mill Hence, a mill
which is not guarded pays a higher
rate for compensation insurance
land as men are employed at these
| mills, they are classed ‘as establish-
{ ments and are therefore subject to
| inspection of the plant and the
boilers.
| Owing to their remote locations,
we were glad to have an invitation
from Mr. J. A. Rose, of the Penn-
sylvania Threshermen and Farmer’s
Mutual Casualty Insurance Com-
| pany, to contribute an article for
|the RIGHT OF WAY, which we felt
{ would reach many operators of saw
| mills quickly where otherwise it
| might be months before they were
| located by our men.
| Most of the saw mills operate by
| steam and use a locomotive type
| boiler. Many of the boilers are
used during the summer for thresh-
ing and at other seasons for the
saw mills. Under the law on boilers,
| these boilers, so long as they are
| used for threshing or other purposes
| on the farm, are not subject to in-
spection. But, just so soon as they
are used for other purposes, such
as saw mills, road work or any other
work not farm work, then they be-
come subject to the State inspection
law.
What Law Requires
| This law requires one internal
and. external inspection annually
| (generally termed an internal in-
spection) while the boiler is not un-
der pressure, and one external in-
spection while under operating con-
ditions annually. The law also re-
