LITTLE THINGS DO COUNT 1DII I It 11 14U tn CI I u d l'l ttll the little things which cause much of the trouble? We don't hear of many accidents around high pressure steam boilers, or the collapse of buildings. Seldom does dynamite explode prematurely during blasting work. Why? Because most people are extremely careful about preventing the big. obvious disasters. We do, however, tend to ignore the little hazards that account for most of the accidents on the job. It's an old saying, but true "if we take care of the little things, the big ones take care of themselves." Reporting a minor hazard immediately or if possible, eliminating it yourself might prevent a serious injury later.
