You are required to observe these safety rules and you will find that their observance will impose no hardship on you. The Company aspires to eliminate all injuries to its employees, because, as you know, an in jury to you would result in loss of time and mon ey to both you and to the Company and cause suffering to you and your family. For this reason the Company has prepared safety rules and regulations which it feels, if absolutely observed, will prevent injury to its employees. Deviation from these rules only invites injury -- the more the deviation, the more the chance of injury. So when you are working, please bear this in mind. The Company does not intend to state that these safety rules are perfect, because it real izes that new situations arise that may require additions or deletions from the rules. For this reason it welcomes any suggestions regarding the safety of its employees. Suggestions pertain ing to one's own department should be first of fered to the foreman of that department. All such suggestions will receive consideration. These rules are prepared for you to read and study. Discuss them among yourselves and ask your foreman or someone in the Safety Office about anything you do not understand. Observe them carefully each day and make for yourself each day another "perfect day." 1 J ASARCO ELP 0015475 r- - - - - CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT Every employee In the plant production or maintenance departments is strongly advised to provide for himself a pair of steelcapped safety shoes to be worn while he is working.
