The beginning of a new year is traditionally a time for taking inventory in businesses, and in personal situations as well. Now is the time to look back at the old year with its successes and its failures, and more important, ahead to the new year with planning and insight based on old experiences. In relation to all phases of work in the mills, each person needs to take stock of not only his attitude, but also his everyday practices in working safely. After all. safety is insurance. God gave us all only r>nc set of limbs and organs; then He gave us the responsibility of caring for them. The human body is not like a machine with replaceable parts for the ones that break down. The only way to preserve our God-given working parts is to take care of them. During 1958 we had th'rtynine accidents in our plants whi h required medical attention. Clinton 28 Lvdia 11). Four of these inju iess resulted in Lost Time. (Clinton 3 Lydia 1.) Each of the thirty-nine cases is a separate distinct situation, but likewise, each one could have been prevented. Today's machinery is equipped with safety devices, especially designed to prevent accidents, but there is always the human factor for which there is no accounting and can be no design. A person who ignores the instruction given for his protection is taking the long shot on a chance of injury. He gets bv with an unsafe shortcut the first time and perhaps the second, but one dav the long shot comes through and another accident nuts someone out of work and monev. and maybe a few fingers. An accident that could have been prevented if someone had not been careless, thoughtless or had been paying attention to what he was doing. Accidents benefit no one? not the employee and not the Company, and the injury can cause physical suffering, disability and expense. And although every employee knows this, still accidents hapnen. Why? Let's take stock. Siens are posted. "Alwavs Do This", "Never Do That", "Disconnect This", or "Release That". These signs are signs of safety. One might say. "Oh. 1 know what to do and how to be careful". All of us slip into ruts and habits. When wc do this, wo become careless and pav less and less attention to rules, until we may ignore them altogether Then an accident happens and it is too late. Safety is not a sometimes wben-I-hapoen-tothink-of-it-thine. It is and must be as much a part of the iob as the iob itself. Essentially, safety is not fettip" hu?*t. It is avoiding the harmful situation. It is one's own protection for himself. Tt is everyone's iob. not the sign maker's, but the worker's job. Let's take stock.
