From soup to nuts ? from
breakfast to bedtime ? the
world is more scientific every
day. Our cars run better because
something new and scientific
is being added to the
gasoline. We have more confidence
in toothpaste because
of a new ingredient that is
almost unpronounceable. And
anything that's worth its iodized
sodium chloride (salt)
must be scientific.

tor in safety is not a scientific
certainty, it is non the less an
absolute essential in on-thejob
safety. Full advantage of
modern science is being used
to isolate and emphasize the
"U" Factor, for without the
"U" Factor there can be no
positive safety.
Like most scientific innovations,
the "U" Factor is hard
to measure. It's what keeps us
from driving our cars over
broken bottles, even though
there is no law against it. It's
what makes us duck under a
low beam, even when no sign
says "Duck!"
In industry the "U" Factor
insures that youngsters will
grow up with things they
need, such as fathers, or the
working mothers. The "U"
racior makes it possible to
keep earning money rather
than suffer the losses which
are always involved in an injury;
not to mention the pain,
disfigurement or dismemberments
that accompany accidents.
Experience proves that the
"U" Factor can make every
person an expert on his own
safety. It is the individual
thought and care for safety,
called "know-how." It is the
intelligent safety insurance
that includes knowledge of
the rules, and knowledge of
the hazards, with constant obsorvanop
and rp??r?or?t
and in addition, a sharp eye
and a keen ear for threats to
personal safetv that can't be
covered by rules.
The main thing about this
"U" Factor is that it cannot be
supplied bv the Company or
added to your job by anyone
but you?which explains how
it got its name?
The "Y-O-U" FACTOR.
