General Hazard Information
No accident-prevention program can be successful without the wholehearted cooperation of
the person who is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
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 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 Unverferth
Mfg. Co., Inc. ask that you be that kind of operator.
REMEMBER:
THINK SAFETY
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE
BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN
ACCIDENT!
