The initial reception and response to the cable and makes it convenient to separate first Script-Slide production by the Visual the slides into a series of shorter presenta Education Committee in 1959, "Safety in O jxn Pit Operations,* indicated the need for additional similar Mining Section sendee projects. During 1961 the Visual Educa tion Committee has been quite active and lists accomplished the following objectives: 1. Produced a Script-Slide series of 101 colored 35 mm slides with a suggested script on Underground Haulage Safety. tions. The script may also be altered or changed as desired. The National Safety Council plans again to have several sets of this program availsable for free use by member organizations on a request basis as a Council service. Du plicate sets of slides were available imme diately following the preview at the 1961 ^National Safety Congress. 2. Submitted a series of 12 posters to the National Safety Council for consideration ira producing a series of posters for the Vtining Section's Falls of Ground Campaign ha 1962. 3 Recommended changes on the series of four Accident Preventers, used in the pre vious Falls of Ground Campaign, to produce x. new series for the 1962 campaign. 4. Submitted pictures and posters to the Newsletter editor. 5. Sent a questionnaire to Mining Section member organizations to determine future visual education needs. 6. Developed and produced a Script-Slide program for the 1962 Falls of Ground cam paign. 7. Cooperated with other Mining Section committees on committee projects. SUGGESTED SCRIPT FOR SOUNDSLIDE PROJECT ON UNDERGROUND HAULAGE SAFETY 1: Safety in underground haulage con cerns everyone who works in an under ground mine. Because heavy equipment-- motors, cars and trucks--are operated in narrow tunnels, often at considerable speeds, there naturally are a number of hazards we must know about and guard against. As in all places where safety is important we can avoid or eliminate the hazards if we know what they are and where danger exists. This series of pictures we are. presenting today show some of these dangers and how* accidents and possible injuries can be pre vented. Not only motor crews are involved in haulage safety but also everyone who Active members of the Visual Education works on the level, especially along or near Committee during 1961 were: H. A.

This type of visual education material allows a mine organiza tion to use or delete any slides not appli- glasses. And, although some of the equipment may look strange to you the same hazards exist here at our operations and result in the same kind of accidents and injuries. 12
