SAFETY

In just 78 more days, this year will
have ended.

That is, 76 more calendar days, Out
of these, only 65 are working days.
These should certainly be accident free
days, every one of them.

‘Those of us who were here in the early
part of the season will recall that,

by your efforts at prevention, not a
single lost time accident occurred here
for 97 days. That is the period fram
February 6th to May i4th.

| What makes for an accident-free period?

Is it less exposure to risk * Is it
good luck ? I am sure we are agreed
that it is not due to mich chance,
though that may be a factor at times.
It is due most of all to an attitude
of safety consciousness. in this res-

pect everyone is important regardless
of their category or length of service,

Remember this ~ if an unsafe act or
condition existe or persists, without
correction, it will produce an injury.
This is why everyone can report unsafe
acta, or conditions to their supervisor.
Lets have one act of safety every day
from everyone ;

Safety Engineer

Johnston for his unselfish action on
Sunday, September 30th at the mine when
a bank collapsed under a tractor causing
it te overturn and imperil ite operator:
Johnston, operator of the 80-D shovel,
working on the bench below the tractor,
with great presence of mine and disrege

for his own personal safety, swung his
shovel bucket into such a position that
he sould eatch the overturning tractar &
arrest ite fall momentarily, thue enabling
ihe operator to eacape from the machine.

This action by dohnaton undoubtu
the tractor aie s life.
