No accident-prevention program can be successful without the whole-hearted cooperation
of the person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
To read accident reports from all over 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 is transportation or
processing, whether it is on the highway, in the harvest field, or in the industrial plant, can be safer
than the person who is at the controls. If accidents are to be prevented--and they can be
prevented--it will be done by the operators who accept the full measure of their responsibility.
It is true that the designer, the manufacturer, and 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, “The best kind of a safety device is a careful operator.” We, at Killbros ask
that you be that kind of operator.
Thank-You!
