3.35 per thousand employees in 1929, to just slightly over half of that rate in 1937, is reported ‘by A. 5. Bayne, Inspecior of Mines, Port Arthur Diâ€" vision, in his paper on "Economic Safeâ€" ty" appearing in the March issue of the Bulletin, Canadian Institute of Mininz and Metallurgy. During the same period nonâ€"fatal accidents per thousand men was reduced from 150 to 1700, and ‘the number of cperating meâ€" tal mines increased from 106 in 1929 to 225 in 19837. Credit for the reduction is given largely to the Ontario Mining Act, which the author describes as beâ€" ing among the best in ‘the world, and also to the diligent efforts of the minâ€" ing companies and mining organizaâ€" tions to promote safety measures. This steady decline in nonâ€"fatal acâ€" cident frequency during ‘the past nine years he states, is indisputable evidence of ‘the succsss with which Ontario cperators are combating the hazards 4 A 4 t NZ iJL \f A 4 NA WR ho CC A No W 3 8 mo CAAA AXL ~ nIne ine in nonâ€"fatal past steady cdecl during ‘the This cident frequen:} years he states, is t 3ss$ with of th Ontario combating hazards which the cpe mene e ul t "o, Cleans i?y Hands indisputable evidence / ‘ measures, ng practices. 1: is rather discouraging, the paper notes, thatt he low accident frequency in the province is almost entirely the result of the gocd work of a {ew of the mining companies.

Some of the mining companies, parâ€" ticularly the larger enterprises, use many more safety devices than are specified in the Act. They maintain specially trained engineering staffs to develep, enforce, and supervise safety regulations particularly applicable to their own mining methods. Schools are conducted on surface and underground to train employees in safety methods, and in some mines "tokens‘" are given to miners who work a certain number of shifts without a lost time accident. An instance is cited of a mining comâ€" pany which has spent an average of over $100,000 a year during the past four vsears to promote safety in operatâ€" notes, tI in the ; result of largecr m Afier decades of harrowinz experâ€" ience and the loss of many lives, the modern operator is compelled to acâ€" cept the fact that to keep costs down and effiency up, safety must be the first consideration in every part of the in mining.
