Excerpt from Industrial Accident Prevention IN preparing the following material for publication, it has been the author's aim to make it an authoritative statement of accident prevention methods, proven by the road test of actual experience to be effective and practical. With this end in view photographs have been chosen for illustrations in preference to drawings or sketches, since a photograph which shows a device in actual use carries much more conviction than a drawing of the device, which may exist only on paper. The broad lines of protection common to all industries are now well defined. Among these might be mentioned Building Construction and Arrangement, Power Transmission and Control, and the Safeguarding of Shop and general Mechanical and Electrical Equipment. The special hazards peculiar to certain industries have also been determined in some cases, although there are still various branches of manufacture where little safety work has been done, and in which new and interesting developments may be expected during the next few years.
