The cost to industry was a staggering $2,650,000,000. | “This includes both visible and} indirect costs, and means a little more than $1,250 for every death and injury,” Huckel said. “Mutu- al insurance companies through accident prevention programs, are | trying to reduce on-the-job injuries | and deaths so that savings can be returned to policy holders. “National Safety Council figures contain a still further breakdown,” Huckel said. “They show that the accident cost for every worker in| the country, whether or not he was | injured last year, amounted to $40." The greater share of the com-| plete cost to industry—$1,300,000,- 00 was in “indirect costs,’ he ex- plained. This included damaged equipment and materials, produc- | tion delays and the time lost by workers other than those injured Visible costs amounted to $1,- “Just about every type of ma chine hazard can be removed or controlled,” Huckel pointed out “Today, the problem is to install | safety practices in the man who operates the machine, to get him | to do the job the safe way.” Hawk Channel To Be Dredged | Application has been made to the | | Department of the Army by Jess. | ton Corporation, care of George Winston, secretary-treasurer, 4510) | N.
