TRAINING MEN TO
AVOID ACCIDENTS

A startling statement based on in
vestigations that have been made of
every accident during the past year
has been issued by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Probably seventy per
cent. of all accidents that occurred IN
1912 could have been prevented If the
employees had exercised special eau
tion." is the way the statement sum
marizes the findings of the years
analysis of even the most trivial mis-
haps.
To give every employe the benefit of
this painstaking Investigation OF
thousands of accidents, both serious
and trivial, a book has been compiled
giving what are called Safety Hints
and Suggestions for the Prevention
of Personal Injury Accidents" One
hundred thousand copies are being
printed, and in a few days will be
given to officers and employees of the
railroad
In addition to distributing these
suggestions for accident prevention.
the general manager makes this per-
sonal appeal for the cooperation of
every employe:
The business of transportation re-
Quiitn lndl iuUIt lndH OIulndI9 pre-
caution shall be taken to safeguard
operation from accidents, and while
in all railroad operations the safety
of passengers is the first considera-
tion. the problems presented in pro-
tecting its employees in many respects
arc identical, and in safeguarding the
latter the safety of the public is also
largely secured.
Safety in railroad operation is not
question of safeguards. but of in
telligent caution constantly exer-
cised The ultimate aim of the safe
ty work is to develop in each en-
ploye a sense of personal RESPONSE
bility. not alone in taking measures
for his own safety, but for that OF
his fellow-employe as we'll.
The aim of the Pennsylvania Rail
road is TO educate every man in its
employ to a disposition to be careful
and to safeguard the operation of the
railroad so well that accidents ol
every kind shall be as infrequent az
human foresight can secure.
