The impetus (or‘ such a movement is provided by the shocking 19471 record of industrial accidents—17,000 deaths and 2- | 000,000 injuries. Injuries while on the job are esti- | mated to have cost industry and workers 3750 mlllioni dollars while the wage loss alone has greatly exceeded | workmen's compensation benefits. The time lost from work because of accidents in 1947 is said to be equi- | valent to a full year's working time for 150,000 employees. Much of this material loss and the attendant | suffering could undoubtedly be avoided. That is| indicated by the low accident rates of some large | companies whose employees are engaged in extra- hazardous work that has been made comparatively safe by installation of protective devices and enforce- ment of safety rules. It is in the smaller plants employing only a few workers that 70 per cent of | injuries occur. Consequently one of the main ob- jectives of the safety drive will be to induce the managements of these smaller plants to take steps to reduce the frequency of accidents and to suggest how; that can best be done. In connection with this campaign the President also urges Congress to make grants to the States for the purpose of expanding their industrial safety work through their own departments of labor. That, too, is essential, for individual employers cannot be ex-| pected to keep abreast of the latest developments in | the safety field. Moreover, official inspection, Dfficml} advice and official reminders of shortcomings are | needed at frequent intervals to jack up neghzcnt} employers and prevent progressive employers from | backsliding and adding to the unnecessarily large num- | ber of victims of industrial accident i { | ! !
