The system had no disabling injuries from the jer!od of January 26, 1DG5 to December 31, 1970. Its em plovers worked a total of 223, 274 man-hours during this per iod. K. R. Kasrr, a safety con sultant for the insurance compa ny, made the presentation. The figure of 233,274 man hours worked without a time loss accident Is very Impressive. A good portion of these hours is under the very worst possi ble winter conditions. 'The nature of the electrical business means the men must be called out during the worst of wind and rain storms and when lee Is bad on the lines. At a time like this it would be very easy for a man who 13 pre occupied with the work he Is doing to get careless and be In volved In a serious accident. About the safety factor, Har ley Young, CBE manager said, "We believe there is much good to be said for the safety program that we strive to hold each month at our building with the holn nf Hnmf nf the Deoole from Kurallte who furnish us with information and help in con ducting the meetings about four times a year."
