Special Safety Posters Offered to Contractors
Safety posters and their importance in complying with the newly legislated Occupational Safety & Health Law become the topic of conversation for the industry leaders pictured here when they met for topping-out ceremonies of the new DuPage County Administration Building in Wheaton, III.
The self-adhesive vinyl posters and "Safety Pays" hard hat and tool stickers were produced by the Assurance Agency, Arlington Heights, III., as part of their cooperative program to assist contractor clients in planning and initiating a solid safety program.
The all-seasons posters aim at three areas of high accidents: failure to wear hard hats, unsafe scaffolding, and illegal riding of hoists. The "Safety Pays" Jim Blackburn (right), president of the Assurance Agency, presents posters and stickers to Bill Luxion, chief executive of Wil-freds, Inc., general contractor for the DuPage structure, while Al Johnson (left), vice-president of Wil-freds, and Bill McCabe, labor relations director for the Builders Association of Chicago, admire the two-color design of the weatherproof posters.
The decals are designed to be affixed to hard hats, tools, vehicles and other reminder areas.
Contractors wishing to implement these posters into their safety programs may contact Lakenwood Industries, Inc., Box H, Cary, III. 60013, for samples and prices.
C. J. Haggerty, Labor Leader, Dies in West
C. J. Haggerty, 77, long-time national labor leader who had retired in May, died October 12 in Palm Springs, Calif. after a long illness.
Mr. Haggerty had been president of the AFL-CIO's Building & Construction Trades Department from 1960 until his retirement last spring. In that post he represented 17 unions with a membership of 3.5 million.
During his tenure he had opposed controls on wages unless they also applied to prices and profits. He had urged the training and hiring of blacks and other minority group members in the construction industry but rejected the idea of government-imposed racial quotas in jobs.
