Excerpt from Safety First This work, it is hoped, will contribute to the advancement of this caign by calling the attention of the employe the human machine - to views of unsafe and safe practices and conditions, with proper comment, in order that he may be better enabled to profit by the experience of others. We trust that every employe to whose attention these views may come will study them carefully with an earnest desire to learn and apply something which will make him a safer man. Every View is true to life and we know, from actual experi ence, that every comment thereon is capable of practical appli cation. The subjects of illustration relate to the performance of routine duties - matters of everyday occurrence. Don't think that as such, they are too commonplace to receive your consideration. An Open switch, a broken rail, a bridge washed away, a mistake in receiving or reading a train order may cause serious accidents. But every one is on guard against these causes and they are less liable to exist because of the attention they attract. But the little improper conditions and practices make the accident record. They are serious, because they are little things, so easily overlooked, for the same reason that fever germs are more to be dreaded than cannon balls.
