These films or slides generally run for fifteen to twenty minutes and cover quite a variety of subjects dealing with safety. They are in black and white as well as color. Award Jewelry The National Safety Council has lapel pins and other safety award jewelry available at a modest cost. To cite an example, a personalized no-accident award pin with your company name and the number of accident free years will run less than a dollar a pin. if your company is a member of the National Roadv Mixed Concrete Association vou can avail yourself of their publications. An example is their checklist of danger points around your plants such as open ladders, conveyor pits, etc. The as sociation can also furnish you with examples of successful safety pro grams in other plants around the country as a guide to your own. Equipment manufacturers, auto and truck manufacturers, oil compa nies. tire and rubber companies all have several publications and films and even contests.

Insurance Agent Your insurante agent is in a po sition to offer valuable help in any safety program. Since the cost of a high accident rate or numerous prop erty damage claims is reflected in higher insurance premiums, a letter from your agent, or possibly a talk by him, to a driver or drivers deal ing with what an individual's safety record or lack of it costs the com pany in increased annual premiums can in many cases solve some dis tressing problems. Road Checks Many insurance companies offer road checks on equipment. These checks can be done anonymously and without the drivers knowledge. The checks include date, time, locations as well as truck speed, driver road courtesv and a notation of any traf fic violation. They are generally mailed to vour companv and can be posted on your bulletin board or used by your safety man. Your company doctor can give valuable assistance in your safety program through annual physical check-ups or through a pre-place ment medical examination. The se lection and keeping of proper and adequate medical records to coincide with your program is something your company doctor is best qualified to do. This. b\ neeessitv. has been just a brief survey of what materials are available to assist in your safety pro gram. The question is. do they do any good? I'll answer it this way -- two months ago we buried one of our drivers. He had worked for our company almost twenty-five years. He wore out nine trucks. He drove over two million miles. He never had an accident. 25 1 A A D V E R T I S E R 'S 1H J1 Automatic Spring Coiling Company 'Banking Conve Iowa-Des Moines National Bank's functional design enables bank cu; temper and parking fees.
