RULES FOR SHOP SAFETY.

The American Museum Of Safety has
received hundreds OF requests from all
psrts of the country for rules govern
ing shop safety and particularly for
|information IL to how shop or fac-
tory should be conducted and safe
fguarded to meet all safety and sani-
|tary requirements. For this purpose
the museum has just compiled these
seven rules for running . shop accord
ing to safety methods and for form
ing an effective safety organisation.
BY following them closely any shop
can be made to stand for safety first.

duct frequent and impartial inspec-
tons
The committee should furnish the
officials with reports and recommen-
dationss regarding their findings and
the officials should act promptly and
back up tho efforts Of the committee
in q broadminded and liberal manner;
human lives depend on 1t.
Lectures should be held at least
once q month and the workmen en-
in caution, cleanliness. sani-
ta&ion. proper use ANA care Of tools
and their responsibility to their fellow
workmen; "speeding-up" should be
discouraged.
Keep the plant clean. Do not allow
the floor, work-benches. closets and
shelves to be Uttered with tools, stock
or other material. Do not throw oily
material. waste paper, food scraps or
refuse Of any kind. under things or
in out OF tho way places; allow ne
matches to lie around loose.
All dangerous machinery, such A.
cutters. lathes. punches. cog-wheels.
belts. and moving parts should be
guarded so that accidents arc impos-
sible except through gross careless
ness. This can be done without les
SEEMING the output.
The committee Of safety should sec
that all rules. signs, regulations and
relating to safety, health
and sanitation are strictly adhered to;
continued disobedience should mean
dismissal
The workmen themselves should be
in every possible way to
cooperate in the safety work and get
the safety spirit. Safety boxes. with |
pencil and paper attached placed
the various departments
and yards will tend to influence every |
workman to be q safety inspector.
