every day before starting work or
starting a new job operation.

Many people, and possibly you, like
to take chances. Some people take
many chances and never seem to get
hurt. But if they continue to take
chances, the odds are that they will get
hurt or killed. We don’t get involved
in an accident every time we take a
chance; if this were the case, most of

us would not be here today to talk
about it. But remember-an accident
can happen the first tire you take a
chance, and, if not, it may happen the
second time. Or you may be lucky and
it won’t happen until the tenth time or

You may have to teach them things
about the job, but don’t forget to
include safety in your teaching. Don’t
allow others to make mistakes because
you failed to teach them safe methods
or neglected to talk about safety.
Teaching safety to others will help you
to be safer. Your safety responsibility
should include the responsibility for
reporting all accidents and injuries to
your supervisor. Be sure to report any
unsafe conditions you observe any-
where on the job so that they can be
investigated and corrected.

A report from New Zealand has it
that farmers have discovered that
their cows were going blind as a
result of watching welders work-
ing on a natural gas pipeline. No
one had thought of providing the
cows with dark glasses, however one
firm has started production of
"Moo-Master Goggles" for cows to

avoid similar injuries in future. -R.STUBLER -
