~f & SERIOUS SET-BACK Page 3 Based on National Safcty Council Stan-. dards, we had experienced only 3 disabling injuries during the first 5 months of 1950 when our statistics wero compiled carly in June, Sinee thon, the number has risen by 5, bringing the total for tho first half of 1950 to 8 for a frequoncy rate of 12. 50. Quite frankly, this constitutes a serious set-back to our accidont prevention efforts despite the nature of the injurics involved. In fairness to all who have been working hard at accident provention in Terrace Bay (and that includes just about everybody) it should be noted tmt from time to time industrial mishaps occur of a "freakish" nature which must be recorded as disabling injuries according to the books, and during the past month wc have had more than our share of such incidents, A Jackladder employec is confined to the hospital with what appoars to be a _rheumatie condition and after more than a weck of hospitalization a back injury is discovered which is thon traced back to an on-the-job incident which oecurrod a couple of weeks before. & Woodroom employee spends a couple of days in the hospital with a low back strain traced back to en on-the-job incident. f eouple of days after a pipe- fitterts helper slightly bumped an clbow, a serious infection devcloped resulting in hospitalization. fA switchman on our own railrcead spur lines suffered a broken right arm between the elbow and shoulder as he reached for e hand grab on an empty chlorine car. (Probably one far the medical books.) Despite the nature of these inju- ries, however, resulting ina not too favou- rable pieturo, we have shown an improvoment over last year's experionce but that is to be oxpected. 'e set for ourselves a frequency rate objective of nt more than 6.5 for the year 1950 and in order to moct it, it will now be necessary to work accident-free for the balance of the year but it can be done. Last year, we started in just ea little lator than this end ran up 130 consecutive safe days, Let's try for a repeat porformance,- Remember, the offer of a Gala Community Party still stands if we excced that previous record, Aeecidents can be prevented and when they are everyone bencfits, Thursday, July 6th ~ Confessions from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. First Friday, July 7th - Mass and Communion 7:30 a.m. Saturday, July 8th - Confessions 3:00 to 4230 pem., 7:00 to 8:00 p.m, Sunday, July 9th - Mass 8:00 to 10:00 asm.
