Constructed from either 4 x6 or 6 x 6 timbers the same
width as the rollcase and approximately five feet in length,

the guard is suspended just high enough above the roll- |

case to allow the largest timber to pass underneath. The
method of suspension is by four pieces of chain or wire |
rope from the four corners of the guard to the roof of the | of this type.

Toe accidents are still a prolific source of lost time inj uries: Dropping of carrier blocks accounts for a large per-
centage of these accidents. The illustrations above show one way of avoiding such injury. SUCH PRECAUTIONS,
HOWEVER, DO NOT DO AWAY WITH THE NECESSITY OF HAVING THE MEN WEAR SAFETY TOE

Hat Saved Life

Latest person eligible for a
membership in the “Turtle
Club”, is clean-up man Chang
Jan Ui, employed at the Che-
mainus Sawmill, who escaped
instant death when a planer
knife, broken off the head dur-
ing grinding on the joiner, flew
20 feet through the air, pierc-
ing his hard hat in two places.
It then careened to the left,

hitting a saw grinder 20 feet still
further on, leaving Chang un-
harmed.

Chang at his own request was:

wearing the hard hat that saved
his life. The clean-up man norm-
ally does not wear a hard hat but
Chang had asked for one when
they were being issued to other
employees.

Officials investigating the cause
of the accident found that the
Knives were defective and ordered
them returned and the manufac-
turer notified of the incident.

Chang wears his “Safety”
