No accident-prevention program can be suc- cessful without the wholehearted co-operation of the person who is directly responsible for the operation of equipment.

To read accident reports from allover the country is to be convinced that a large number of accidents can be prevented only by the operator anticipating the result before the accident is caused and doing something about it. No power-driven equipment, whether it be transportation or processing, whether it be on the highway, in the harvest field or in the

industrial plant, can be safer than the man who is at the controls. If accidents are to be pre- vented-and they can be prevented-it will be done by the operators who accept a full measure of their responsibility.

It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, the safety engineer can help; and they will help, but their combined efforts can be wiped out by a single careless act of the operator.

It is said that' 'thebest kind of a safety device is a careful operator. II We ask you

to be that kind of an operator.
