ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP !
No accident prevention program can be successful
without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who
is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.
To read equipment accident reports from all over the
country is to be convinced that a large number of
accidents can be prevented only by operators who
consistently anticipate the results of their actions and
thus prevent accidents from ever occurring. No power-
driven equipment, whether it is on the highway, in a farm
field, or in an industrial plant, can be any safer than is
allowed by the person who is at the controls.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can be
prevented), that prevention will come from equipment
operators who accept their complete responsibility.
The
designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer
all help create a safe product, but the operator of that
product can wipe out their combined efforts with a single
careless act.
The best safety device is a careful operator. FFC
Attachments and your dealer ask that
YOU be that
careful, responsible equipment operator.
