Run The Team
One of the 1963 Safety Management Series in which safety engineer John previews the upcoming Safety Supervisors' meeting on Fundamentals of Accident Prevention with shop foreman Larry. Together they review the four things the company does in prevention, accidents, (management initiative and support, providing safe place to , underwriting safety programs, and employing good supervisors) and the Quarterback role of supervisors: reviewing accident experiences, inspecting and planning corrections, safeguarding equipment, and eliminating unsafe practices. Primary historical value of this film as in the case of its 7 companion films is in the philosophy or approach to Safety management in the era of its production.
Safety Is In Order
One of the 1963 "Safety Management Series" in which safety engineer "John" previews upcoming supervisors' safety meeing on "housekeeping hazards" with shop foreman Larry; benefits of good housekeeping are discussed and listed as the positive results or "plus's" of good housekeeping: accident prevention, fire prevention, increased production. Then outlines how to achieve objectives. Primary historical value of this iflm --as in the case of its seven companion films--is in the philosophy or approach to Safety Management in the era or year of its production.
The Driver's Part In Preventive Maintenance
ON PREVIEW TAPE # 991537 C This film was developed (probably) as an in-company training film for Shell Oil tank truck drivers in Canada and via one "Gil" the film demonstrates what should be done in their 8-minute "circle check"--i.e., Preventive Maintenance program. "Gil" goes through each step of the operation. Has some good footage of 1960 motor vehicle traffic in Canada. (One particular quirk is the scene in which the commentator is praising Gil's driving safety record as he pulls out of the terminal onto a busy street and barely misses being hit by a fast-moving vehicle.)
Aim High In Steering
On preview cassette # 97783 Described as being the first principle of the 5 principles included in the National Safety Council's Expert Seeing Series, which is directed at professional drivers, and which is based on the Smith System of No-Accident Driving. Film demonstrates the many advantages of the high aim vs. low aim error which develops a tendency in many drivers toward several types of vehicle accidents. The film is of historical value in its mention and inclusion of the Smith System of No-Accident Driving, which was a precursor of the Defensive Driving course which was initiated on a national basis in 1965. The film contains some excellent scenes of mid-1960s urban (Chicago) and rural (Illinois) traffic.
Everywhere All The Time
Safety conscious shop foreman experiences problems in selling Safety to his family until the son is injured in a boating accident. Then all realize the need for it..everywhere...all the time. Good footage of 1950s vehicles and factory operations. The concluding scene where mother has embroidered a cloth with "Safety...everywhere...all the time" and shows it to the family is a camp classic. This film, alas, has lost a great deal of its color.
You And What You Do
This film emphasizes the importance of attitude and illustrates how it is the difference between being safe and unsafe. Utilizes injury sequences resulting from forklift truck operation, paint spraying, liquid chlorine shut-off, and grinding to highlight the importance of Thinking...Watching...Planning...Communicating...when it comes to preventing accidents. This "general industry" film is one of the few that effectively deals with Attitude as being a prime causative factory in relation to accidents. Factory scenes remain typcial and do not provide a great deal of significance, history-wise.
Electrostatics & Explosion Hazards
This film demonstrates how static charges are built up between solids and liquids, and liquids and liquids--and how bulk tank fires/explosions can be minimized through grounding and anti-static additives. film also shows dramatic increases in built-up charges when water is introduced into petroleum products which are bing pumped or ciruclated. Primary value of film would be in showing c.1950 experimentation in understanding how charges are built up in vessels and the collary protection that is warranted.
Mind Over Matter
One of the 1963 Safety Management Series in which Safety Engineer John previews upcoming supervisors' safety meeting on Material Handling with shop foreman Larry. John utilizes good visual aids to demonstrate fundamentals of safe material handling and to educate supervisors on safe stance, safe gripping, backing, etc. Primary historical value of this film--as in the case of its 7 companion films--is in the philosophy or approach to safety management in the era or year of its production.
