WHY ACCIDENT INVUSTICATION?
"The person who got hurt can almost
always tell how it happened, you think.
But if you do, you're wrong. He usually
knows about some things that happened, such
as, “the ladder slipped,” or “Isstrained
my back, lifting,“ or “I hit my finger
with a hammer." In #ost such ceases, he
4an't able to say exactly what he should
have done to prevent the sccident.

Such a ladder accident is usually
pretty simple. It slipped because it
wasn't properly secured. But what would
“proper” have meant in that ase?

One has to investigate to find out. You
fellows can do it as well asl, if you
use your intelligence. Ma,be he reached
cut too far and the ladder just went over.
We may not have had his mind on what he
was doing. He might not realize just what
led up to his fallo

& thorough investigation shoul¢ bring
out all the things that were wrong. But,
more important, it should show all the
things that should be done to prevent a
recurrence of the same kind of accident.

Actually, most of the know-how of
safety has been built up through the years
by knvestigating the accidents that have
happened.

At first, accident investi, ation was
chiefly to find the physical hazards so
they could be corrected. It waan't long,
though, until they found that unsafe acts
were in the picture, too. So they braog=
ened the investigations to include ali
details of actions that had led up to the
aocident--the things that shouldn't have
been Gone; the things that should have
been Gone, but weren't. In this way, the

Some people might think that, since
weve built up so much safety know-how, we
could safely sleck off on accident invest~
igation. They'd be wrong, dead trong. The
findings of a thorough investization are
very Valuable in getting everyone to
follow safe practice.

Of course, these same findings help

a lot, too, in getting everybody to be

Meanshile, let's selvage whatever we
can ait of those acoidents we have.

It's easy to see that every case of
Gisabling injury sould be investigated.
It pays to investigate the first-aid
cases, too. Such little accidents are
usually caused by bad houstkeeping or
unsafe ways of using tools. If my fellas
