I. INTRODUCTION
Du Pont recognizes that there are many haz ards inherent in industry: however, through sound and reasonable safety practices, time-losing in juries can be prevented. There is no doubt that working safely has great humanitarian value and enhances employee morale. Furthermore, accident-free work will prove to be more profit able for the Contractor, as it has for Du Pont. We therefore urge you to give particular attention 10 your employees' welfare in the workplace.
This handbook sets forth guidelines and rules for your operations at the Experimental Station. Eachjob. regardless of the type of work involved, presents problems that require special alertness, awareness, and good judgment on your part artd on the part of vour employees. Subcontractors, and/or vendors. The rules and regulations set forth in this booklet should set the proper "safety climate" but cannot be taken as all inclusive. In addition, these rules and regulations may be altered from lime to time, with nonce to the Contractor, by the Contract Administrator. In all cases, the Contractor shall review the safety hazards present and establish additional prac tices as needed to minimize them. It is your obligation to work safely and to correct unsafe acts, practices, and/or conditions for (he protec tion of your employees and others. Contractors are fully responsible for their Subcontractors in the S3me manner as for iheir employees.
