1-85 praises safety record

By GIL INGRAM

The Officers and Executive Board of

- Local 1-85, IWA, along with the Safety Com-

mittee of Somass Division wish to extend

their congratulations to the Filing Room Crew

of Somass Division for surpassing sixteen
years of work accident-free.

A safety record of this kind should not
go unnoticed and should be an example of
what can be accomplished. This 16 years
represents 5,855 days as shown on the board
and for a comparison almost half a million
accident free hours are represented here.

Local 1-85 Safety Director

We think the co-operation of members
working together is one of the factors in mak-
ing such an accomplishment possible and
those constant reminders to each other such
as “Hey, Brother, wear your goggles,” plays
an important role.

The pointing out of hazards and the show-
ing of proper methods of doing a job by
fellow workers can only lead to safer working
conditions and a safe place to work. Again,
our congratulations.

A system that tells the
motorist when his car needs
servicing has been developed
by the United States Servica-
tor Corp. Installed under the
instrument panel at the time
the car is purchased, the de-
vice computes engine run-
ning hours and, at predeter-
mined intervals, ejects cards
that tell the motorist to take
the car in for service — such
as lubrication, oil change and
tune-up.

After nearly two years of hearings, more than seven !
million words of testimony, and at an estimated cost
of ten million dollars, the inquiry into the B.C. Work- |
men’s Compensation system has finally ended. |
The IWA was one of the 109 organizations submit-
ting briefs at the hearings, and is waiting with keen |
interest the report of Mr. Justice Tysoe on his findings. |
The speculation is that it will be some time before |

the Report is ready due to the vast amount of material |
to be studied.
