WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION AND INSURANCE ment The change from hand tools to pow er-driven machinery and the movement of workers from the home workshop to the modern factory brought a tremendous in crease in the number of industrial injuries The employer now delegated supervision to others If a worker suffered an injury, he received little personal attention and was forced to seek a legal remedy for his loss The use of new and complicated machin ery, lack of skill on the part of the worker, little or no instruction, and poor supervi sion brought up the question "who is to blame" when an injury occurred Employ ers many times denied liability unless it was imposed by law The right of an em ployee to be compensated in the event of injury incurred on the job was based on the same common law obligations that an employer owed to any member of the pub lic Courts interpreted the rules strictly, and the employee rarely recovered damages for his injuries Under the common law, an employer has five responsibilities 1.

MANUAL HANDLING AND STORAGE OF MATERIALS Machines and other heavy objects Manual handling of heavy machinery and like objects requires special skill and knowl edge Sometimes machines or castings weighing 100 tons or more must be moved from freight cars to the ground level and into permanent position without use of heavy duty cranes or similar equipment Only general principles of safety for such jobs can be suggested Each one presents its own problems and requires careful study and thorough planning Some companies build scale models of the machines and the blocking, jacks, rollers, and other equip ment to be used and then work out the procedure in miniature.

MANUAL HANDLING AND STORAGE OF MATERIALS 2 Cleats on the blocking to prevent shift ing of the jack base 3 A meebng surface at right angles to the direction of the lift for the jack head with its shun to bear against 4 Props or guys to the load to prevent its swinging sidewise when lifting begins When a jack handle is placed in the socket, the workman should make sure that the area is clear and that there is ample room for an unobstructed swing of the han dle before he applies pressure A faulty movement in the load may cause the handle to pop up and strike another worker The man operating the handle should stand to one side so that if the handle kicks, it will not catch him in the body or face After the load is raised, metal horses or substantial horses or blocking of heavy wood should be placed under it for support m case the jack should let go A raised load should never be allowed to remain supported only by jacks The handles of the jacks should be removed and placed out of the way to prevent workers from walk ing into them When a jack is released, the worker should keep all parts of his body clear of the movement of the handle.
