Dusts in the Rubber Industry

Training Supervision in Accident Prevention
By JOHN J. LOGE
Employment Manager, The General Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
As we scan lite history or the safety elenniegl, we 11114 that a great deal at emphasis has been placed on the foreman's Papua& b ilk in movie! t preeentIon work. AillhOrilleS talent In agree that foremen (sod by 'foreteller! Is meat!( direct supervision) are very largely responsible for ilse prevention of strekleute in industry,
How de !hese attilturitres arrive at their testlasious? Why must the foremen asnett the reapolisibifity for injuries to per. sons ceder Their supervision?
nen we tell our aupervienrit Iltat they am accept the respensibilily for orielknit occurring in their depart Mertes, we
must he prepared to slate p fear reasons, We sok a foreman for a report following air accident, and he has a right to a dear understanding its to the Tetuan why he Is called upon to explain when one of his w.twkera Is injured. There is nothing rItysteriouts about not placing of respoe satility for accidents, it isn't the ease 0f managettlent imposing a burdea upon sitpervision that sheenfd belong eteewhere,
As t00/1 ass person is placed in &superr Emory capacity, a position where he has eliarge of the work of others, he become' directly reeponsiltle for their conduct and
