[00:06.03]Industrial safety does not just happen.

[00:08.89]Companies (1)with low accident rates plan their safety programs,

[00:12.73]work hard to organize them,

[00:14.53]and continue working to keep them (2)alive and active.

[00:17.66]When the work is well done,

[00:19.47]a (3)climate of accident-free operations is established

[00:23.11](4)where time lost due to injuries is kept at a minimum.

[00:27.13]Successful safety programs may (5)differ greatly

[00:30.26]in the emphasis placed on certain aspects of the program.

[00:33.99]Some place great emphasis on mechanical guarding.

[00:37.21]Others stress safe work practices

[00:39.53]by (6)observing rules or regulations.

[00:42.16](7)Still others depend on an emotional appeal to the worker.

[00:45.69]But, there are certain basic ideas that must be used

[00:49.42]in every program if maximum results are to be obtained.

[00:53.24]There can be no question about the value of a safety program.

[00:56.87]From a financial standpoint alone, safety (8)pays off.

[01:00.50]The fewer the injury (9)claims,

[01:02.42]the better the workman's insurance rate.

[01:04.94]This may mean the difference

[01:06.15]between operating at (10)a profit or at a loss.
