think about it, you will find a
surprising number of people
know very little concerning
their own safety or the safety
of others, therefore we shall
touch upon the subject so that
it has an effect comparable to
that at the plant.
Safety is that thing that there
is so much of until you are the
victim of an accident and then
find that there was none. The
last statement when boiled down
simply means that we see and
hear a lot of it but fail to see
any of it practiced. Safety is
not limited to human beings
They are generally the victims
but we've seen and heard OF
some of our presses literally

ought to make them the vic

they can't last forever.

to complain of it's weaknesses
Look for them yourselves, re-
port them and insist they be

Committee doesn't bring you re.
suits, you have another Com.
mittee you can refer to. Away!

than compensation"
