While There Are No Official Statistics In The United States Giving Exact Information As To The Number Of Industrial Accidents, There Is Ample Evidence From Official Sources That The Num Ber Of Accidents In Industrial Work Is Much Greater Than One Would Ordinarily Expect. A Great Many Of These Accidents Could Be Pre Vented. As An Example May Be Mentioned One Plant Where The Yearly Average Was 200 Accidents, And Where, As The Result Of Greater Atten Tion Given To Preventive Measures, The Number Of Accidents During One Year Was Reduced To SixtyFour; Of These Accidents Only ThirtyEight Were Of A Character To Be Considered As Wholly NonPreventable Or Accidental In The Most Literal Sense Of The Word. Compared With The Previous Yearly Average Of 200 Accidents, This Would Indicate That In The Average American Shop Only About Twenty Per Cent Of The Acci Dents Belong In The NonPreventable Class, While Possibly About Eighty Per Cent And Certainly Seventy Per Cent Could Be Eliminated If Greater Attention Were Paid To Safeguarding The Machinery, Instructing The Employes, And In Other Ways Removing The Possibilities Of Accidents. The Estimate Above Is Based On Actual Results Obtained In One Plant In The United States As Stated By Mr. John Calder In A Paper Read Before The American Society Of Mechanical Engineers.About The Publisherforgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books.
