Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safe Practice at Blast Furnaces: A Manual for Foremen and Men If the management gives tangible evidence of its interest in safety, and consequently has aroused the interest of the rest of the force, the foremen can do more to lessen risks and reduce accidents than any other group of men in the plant. As the foremen, in plant prae tice, organize the force for cooperation and efficiency in plant opera tion, and train themselves to observe and analyze the causes of trouble with mechanical equipment or furnace practice, so is it neces sary for them to organize the force and train themselves for the best results in accident reduction. Although in blast-furnace works, defective plant arrangement or design, insufficient instructions, and lack of safeguards are sources of accidents; a considerable propor tion of the accidents are due to carelessness, thoughtlessness, igno rance, and clumsiness. However, men can not be expected to be al ways alert for obscure dangers, to adopt new practices that aim to put safety on a par with quickness or convenience, or to be thinking about not taking chances that rarely result in accident, unless their foremen exhibit as much personal interest, cooperation, and attention to details of work and equipment relating to accident prevention as they do in matters of practice.
