What's Your Batting
Average - Safetywise?
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!
