When accident taps a worker on the shoulder and calls "Time Out,” it may be for 4
day, a week, a month—or forever!
Every year time runs out for some 16,000 workers, killed in action on their jobs.
80,000 are so severely injured that they may never work again. Two million are injured
in greater or lesser degree. The cost to workers and industry—$4,500,000,000 annually.
Over eighteen and a half million dollars every working day.
}Vhen you’re inclined to be a bit careless, a little too tired to be cautious, remember,
every 32 minutes some worker gets "tapped for life,” every 16 seconds one is injured,
temporarily or permanently. Know your job, be alert while on it. Vehicle accidents are
the No. 1 killers and cause most permanent disabilities. Machinery is the principal source
for partially disabling injuries, while the handling of objects knocks out more workers
temporarily. Falls are occurring continuously, in all kinds of work, and cause anything
from a slight injury to death.
So watch yourself at work. Think safely—use your head to save your job—maybe
your life!
