During last year's World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles, we noticed when each batter came up to the plate his batting average flashed across the bottom of the television screen. Each player's batting average has a meaning not only to him but to the team as a whole. Roger Hornsby holds the special place in the world of baseball. His .424 batting average with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1924 is the modern Major League Record. These averages are figured by dividing the number of opportunities (official times at baO into the number of successes (base hits). In a sense our company has a batting average too. It's based on the accident frequency rate (the number of disabling injuried per million manhours worked). The batting average of the whole team depends upon the individual batting average of everyone in the company. What about your batting average-safetywise? Are your safe working habits helping to make a good safety record? Be Mower Safe It's "Green-Thumb" Season Again The season for mowing grass and gardening activity is once again taking up the spare time of many people, but it can be dangerous. While modern power tools and power lawn mowers have many safety features built into them, the human element still presents great dangers. Do not start a power mower while standing in front of it. St?rH nt nnp cifio the blades. Be certain the clutch is disengaged before attempting to start the motor. Do not fill the gas tank of a mower while the motor is running or while the motor is still hot. Do not attempt to clean the blades or remove grass from the mower while the motor is running. Do not permit young children to operate a power mower. Teach them to respect it as they do your auto. Do not store gasoline in bottles in your garage or workshop. Do not attempt to mow grass in a yard that has many small pebbles and rocks. Serious injury can result to the operator by deflected debris. Do not allow moving parts (belts, chains, blades, gears, etc.) to be without adequate guards or protective covers. Do be careful!
