The saving in life. efficiency, and money
cannot be computed
The fact that the Company has been
able to secure whole-hearted co-opera-
ton is the reason for the complete sue
cess of the safety plan, and is very sig
nifcant fact in connection with all this
Company'S enterprises.
During the first year after the plan was
adopted, over 979o of the safety sugges-
tons made by employees were adopted.
Mechanical safeguards were greatly ex-
tended, and a system of education was
carried on whereby in numerous instances
the habits of the employees were changed.

This campaign with it's remarkable
achievement Of 800 decrease in acct
dents is of definite interest to 80 million
people in 10 Middle Western States.
Safety in occupation promotes efficiency
of the worker at his task, and makes
him better citizen The employee who
realizes the fact that his. safety is being
looked after at every turn is free to give
his entire attention to his duties
In any industry the human factor is the
key to efficiency. The man who is con-
tent, we'll paid, assured of his future, and
safe from injury, may be depended upon
to give his best effort to his work. He
is more productive; he is more content:
he is prouder of his work.
Thus by safeguarding the welfare of the
worker, the Standard Oil Company Qnd-
lanai takes the initial step towards har-
mony within the organization, which
enables the Company to produce annually
a tremendous volume of petroleum prod
ucts of uniform quality, which are such
essential factors in promoting CONNER
cial progress and domestic happiness.
