Volume I contains the General Sessions and the meetings of the various In dustrial Sections of the Council. Volume IT contains the Street and Highway Traffic, the Commercial Vehicle, the Transit, the Child education and the Home Safety Sessions. Volume I is distributed automatically to all industrial mem bers of the. Council. Volume is sent to members who are believed to be interested chiefly in the sessions it contains. However, other members of the Council may obtain Volume II upon request. Many Council members have fourni it advantageous to dis tribute copies of the Transactions Volumes to the individual executives, foremen and supervisors of their organizations, who make use of the practical safety information the vol umes contain to organize accident prevention programs. The volumes contain a vast amount of standard reference ma* terial. Extra copies of the Transactions may be obtained as follows: Volume I, one to 10 copies at $2 each; 11 or more copies $1.75 each. Extra copies of Volume II may be had at 75 cents each. THE Transactions are a condensed record of the proceed ings of the Congress. The papers and addresses and many of the discussions have been edited to delete extraneous matter, abbreviate the less important portions, ami empha size those parts of particular usefulness in promoting effec tive safety organization and other accident prevention meas ures. The volumes are, therefore, a somewhat abridged ver sion, compact, practical, and of particular value to the stu dent, the supervisor and the executive in achieving more thorough accident prevention success. The original manu scripts are available for additional reference, if desired, in the fifes of the National Safety Council. , T HE National Safety Council, at its Congresses, seeks to eliminate from discussion matters which are not pertinent to the aims of the Congress or which may be contrary to the Council's policies. However, it cannot accept responsibility for all the views expressed either in the papers presented or in the discussions based upon these papers.

To achieve this objective the Council advocates the following program of safety activities: 1. C reating I n te re s t in Safety. People will try to prevent accidents only when they are convinced of three things: (a) that acci dents are really a serious problem, threaten ing personal happiness, industrial efficiency and economic security; (b) that accidents don't "just happen," but that each one has definite, ascertainable causes; (c) that acci dents can be prevented. The basic require ment in a national safety program, there fore, is a dramatic and effective presentation of these facts to more and more people. 2. F inding A ccident Causes. Accident causes are not the same in any two plants, in any two cities, in any two schools. They are not the same from one time to another. Every industrial plant, every city, every school and every other public or private or ganization, therefore, must study the causes of accidents in its own group, so that pre vention efforts always will he directed at the things really responsible for accidents. 3. M aintaining In te re s t in Safety, peo ple retain interest in very few things of which they arc not continuously reminded. Therefore, it is the task of the newspaper, the radio, the magazine, the school, the public speaker and every other educational influence to keep reminding the worker, the driver, the pedestrian, the housewife and the school child that freedom from accidents de pends on personal caution, and that the safe way is the right way and the best way-- from the standpoint not only of human sat isfaction, hut of social efficiency and econ omy. 4. E n gineering Im provem ent. Many accidents occur because equipment is faulty. The punch press is unguarded, the auto- mohilc brakes are worn, the stairway is crudely built, the propeller is defective, the stop sign is obscured. The avoidance of accidents, therefore, requires that safety be built into every piece of machinery, every home, every school building, every highway. We must insist that the things we buy-- whether a stepladder or a stop sign, a bandsaur or a blast furnace--be safe things. And we must he willing if necessary to pay a higher price because of this built-in safety factor, realizing that it is true economy to do so. 5. T ra in in g fo r S afety. Many accidents occur because the injured person or some other person acts in an unsafe manner. This unsafe act often is committed because the person involved never has been taught how to do the job in the safe way. Therefore, boys and girls, men and women, must be taught how to work, how to drive, how to cross the street, how to live safely. This teaching and training is a joint responsibility of industry, of schools and colleges, of gov ernmental groups and of parents in the home, 6. S upervision fo r S afety. Many who know well the safe method of performing an act nevertheless are involved in accidents because, due to hurry, fatigue, thoughtless ness or some other reason, they do not per form the act in what they know is the safe way. Therefore, we need good foremen in industry, alert pairoi boys in our schools, diligent police officers on our streets, thoughtful parents in our homes. These, through wise guidance of those under their supervision, can greatly minimize the chances of accident. 7. L egislation fo r S afety. Avoidance o f accidents requires the adoption and scien tific enforcement of sound legislation--legis lation on traffic, on industrial matters, on public transportation, on home construction and maintenance, and on many items of per- 9 300 2Vth National Safety Congress the subjects in which course; are given a r e : shop m athematics physics, materials and methods of aircraft inspection, 0 .A.A. rules and regulations, aircraft radio, internal combustion engines, etc. F.ach apprentice is at the same time carry ing on his regular work schedule in the shops; is assigned to assist a qualified li censed mechanic, ami his classroom work does not interfere except to the extent that he is excused from the shops if a class in which he is enrolled is conducted during his work shift. An apprentice's work assignments are a r ranged so that the work he is doing at any given time is closely related to the subjects he is studying in class; likewise, the entire training program is set up to provide for an apprentice spending a given number of months in each department of maintenance. As the program has developed, the prob lem of selecting capable and dependable persons to place in the apprentice training school has itself become somewhat difficult, because the persons selected must possess the intelligence and mechanical aptitude necessary to master a highly technical craft, a s well as the stability, energy, and per severance to complete a four-year training program. Persons placed in this school who do not have the tenacity to see it through, represent a rather substantial loss in time and money. Experience has indicated that those appli cants who perform best are those who have had at least a high school education with some mechanical training and experience. Further, it is found that those applicants from families mechanically inclined gen erally prove more satisfactory. Keeping these things in mind, Braniff Airway carefully elects from the rather large group of yqung men who apply, those who seem to possess most completely these qualifications. Tn a further effort to place only the best in the school, arrangements arc made to administer dexterity and manip ulatory tests to each of these rnen in an effort to secure some indication of his true mechanical aptitude and intelligence. These tests are so inclusive and broad in scope that they require eight hours to admintoer, and were chosen upon the recommendation of experts in vocational guidance and em ployee selection. T he applicants finally selected are em ployed as stockrunners or cleaners, where they have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the various airplane and engine parts. They serve in that capacity generally for 10 or 12 months, at which time they are placed in the apprentice mechanics' training school. All shop supervisors who have apprentice mechanics working under them, make a periodic report to the supervisor of appren tices and the Apprentice Committee con cerning the apprenticed rating on appear ance, cooperation, conduct, health, initiative, quality of work, ability, and desire to learn and actual performance. Throughout the entire four-year training program, the apprentice is taught theory and principle in the classroom and has practical instruction and experience in the shops. Though Branifif Airways has found that this method of selecting and training poten tial mechanics requires a considerable amount of time and some expense at the outset, it has likewise found that the per sons so selected possess the necessary qual ifications to capitalize on this extensive training program and that in the long run, a considerable amount o f time and money i* saved and a more highly capable airplane mechanic is generally produced.
