It is something essential, a commodity of great value, It can be sold, it can be practiced, and in the balance scale of results, it can be weighed. For safety will always bring results - dividends, rether, to those who invest in it. Safety can save lives, It can prevent injury. Jt can cut down greatly the number of accidents in a given place over a given period, In doing so, safety becomes a humane factor, working for the conservation of human life. ; Safety is also a productive factor, for a vigorous safety program carns its keep by increasing production, Every accident, no matter how minor, contributes to production delay . ' Safety is a means of self-preservation. It is protection against attack--attack instituted by carelessness. It is but plain common sense, therefore, to use safety as a guard for your welfare as you would use your arms to ward off the blows of an attacking enemy. To sum up, safety is an intangible, but it has many forms and many phases which, added up, give but one answer: "THE SAFE WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!"
