Omaha - October 9, 1946

a. Livingston :
I read with a g reat deal of interest the recom-

mendation ~ made by the several committees in the Sigma Tau
Epsilon organization , and I think a copy of their reco ~mendations should be g iven to the U. M.\L of A. safety committee
at each district, as l..-·e ll as discussing the different reco mmendations at your safety meetings.

�SIGMa TAU EPSILON SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 15, 1946
Committee No. 2
We, Committee No. 2, recommend there should be r.i.ore caution around
cars.

We recommend that lar ge chunks of coal on top of cars be taken care

of or taken off before leaving loader point.

We also think that more attention

should be paid to foot wear.
John V, Knoll
George Blacker

J. Hearne
Committee No. 3
Resolutions and recommendations of Committee No. 3.

In order to

prevent injuries caused by falls of rock or coal in tL~bered places, we
recof:lF.lend· that the men be instructed b~r the supervisor in charge to always
sound roof before knocking out any props.

11fuen loose roof is found supported

by props which have to be moved either additional props or crossbars are to
be set before knockint; or moving those props.

While timbering or crossbarring

extremely bad roof, men enBaged in tho.t type of work must be instructed by the
supervisor in charge to alv1a~rs use safety props.

Cerami t tee No. 4
1'le,

Committee No. 4, recoilll?lend that in handling and moving timber

and rails, that the supervisory force continue to stress the need of the men
keeping their minds on what they are doing at the moment, keeping their fingers
and toes in the clear,

When the handles of wrenches are no:t long enough to

get leverage to tighten the bolts or clamps, we would recommend that longer

�. t'landles be welded on to the wrench.

~'le would also have men who &amp;re holding

jackpipes for the machine man to continue holding the pipe until it is tight.
Clyde Rock
James Law
Joe Salvatico
Andrew Spence
Committee No. 5
We, Committee No. 5, considered the eye injuries.

t·/e feel that

the injuries reported, could be avoided some by the worYJnan being a little
more careful in handling material and by wearing hi s ?,O!:;gl es closer to his
eyes except where men are sharpening drill bits .

a number is caused through carelessnesu of men in pitllinf. rr~chine cable while
holding same at splice and failure to disconnect light lines before replacing

wire and when pulling machine cable pull below splice or replace with new
