HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

Abstract

Successful safety programs, which produce low accident severity and frequency rates are characterized by an imaginative combination of house-keeping, training, communications, and common sense. More often than not, the programs are installed in plants that enjoy high morale, low operating costs, and effective but not necessarily new circuitry. New plant design projects that include a conscious effort to consider safety and health aspects beginning at the conceptual design stage will most certainly go into production with a minimum of unnecessary problems.
