subject: The Importance Of Safety Committees [print this page] Henry A. Reninger, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science Vol. 123
The in one piece winner or else failure of accident prevention labor, the functioning of safety committees and the way of behaving of the foremen, depend entirely leading the executives of a company. The organization, from the president down, with the aim of realizes the attach importance to of safety and backs up the safety administrative area and conceal superintendents, can expect results. However, someplace lack of sympathy is manifested by folks in the sphere of authority, rebuff results can ensue likely or else obtained.
In the sphere of making a study of the results obtained by folks companies which boast been booming in the sphere of their safety labor, we unearth with the aim of they boast been booming for the reason that of the grant of the management and the shrewd and thorough labor of the safety committees. Nearly everyone of the booming plants boast been well guarded, which perhaps relieves us of 20 apiece cent of the labor in the sphere of accident prevention; the balance is due entirely to the labor of the safety committees.
We unearth a inordinate many of these committees are cool, calm and collected of foremen, in lieu of the special companies realize with the aim of they are the key-men and the ones who ought to ensue absolutely educated to believe in the sphere of accident prevention labor, in lieu of if they accomplish not, results yearn for not ensue obtained either in the sphere of their own administrative area or else in the sphere of the conceal to the same degree a in one piece, in lieu of their way of behaving is reflected in the sphere of the labor of the men. The safety working group and the foremen ought to believe in the sphere of accident prevention labor truthful to the same degree they believe in the sphere of no matter which to boot with the aim of prevents spare and increases efficiency in the sphere of every administrative area.
The duties of the safety working group were outlined to the same degree premature to the same degree 1917 and a inordinate many of the booming plants are following additional or else a smaller amount along this organization.
The broad-spectrum Safety working group has been alienated and covers a hefty sports ground of activities-the Inspection working group, cool, calm and collected of two or else additional members, making a semi-monthly protection inspection of the plant as well as a thorough hazard analysis; the Fire working group, making a semi-monthly inspection of fire hazards and all fire equipment; the leading Aid and clean working group, having charge of leading aid, hospitals and all therapeutic food and making a thorough protection inspection of the clean conditions of the conceal and all company dwellings; the Publicity and edifying working group, keeping the Bulletin Boards clean and pleasant, instructing the men in the region of the conceal and working banned a protection program in lieu of the discussion; the Accident Investigation working group, making an investigation of all serious accidents, coverage the cause of same and method of preventing parallel accidents.
Rebuff unbreakable and fast tenet can ensue laid down to the same degree to the amount of men on a working group, to the same degree we unearth every organization has its own ideas on this area under discussion, but the broad-spectrum outline to the same degree known over has been followed.
All accidents are being reported to the companies, and the companies themselves information each lost-time accident to the fix link.
The yearly study of accidents to the same degree in print in the sphere of the Accident Prevention Bulletin of the Portland fix link is, with no question, probably the nearly everyone accurate of a few industry in the sphere of the territory and it has proven nearly everyone beneficial to the fix companies interested III accident prevention labor.
