lot of meanings There is safety called safety color safety transportation safety in industry safety in recreation safety in our homes and schools safety in our country safety in our community Safety color is important because if we had no color on during the deer hunt while you were in the mountains you could get killed Another reason deer hunters need color is it stands out against the mountains When policemen are on patrol at night they wear brightly colored vests while they d irect traffic or give signals Construction workers wear orange clothes and hard hats while they work on the road People notice them much more Sometimes on machinery when there is something wrong with it it will have a brightly colored sign saying it is out of order or caution In most machine companies or any company they will have a First Aid Kit which will be brightly colored Color is important in industrial safety Colors play a major part in maintaining the safety of workers in industrial plants Injuries are never pleasant but perhaps the worst injuries are those that keep you from doing things you want to do or that make you stop in the midst of having a good time Yet skiers break legs boaters drown hunters are shot accidently campers lost their way in the woods In almost every case these mishaps result from carelessness It is easy to relax your guard against accidents during a boat ride or while participating in or watching a baseball game Accidents are more likely to occur when you do things that are not part of your everyday routine Americans spend a lot of time enjoying recreation Safety precautions for indoor or outdoor recreation include wearing proper clothing using the right equipment your own physical condition can be an important part of your recreation safety Also training and education in any of the sports would help prevent accidents Safety in transportation presents the greatest safety problem in the United Stales Cars travel faster there arc more of them In spite of officials trying to improve our highways and their safety many lives are taken each year Airplanes trains buses and ships have a much better safety record Safety in our country is largely determined by our government officials Our country's Armed Forces protect us and help guarantee our basic human rights I also know our government has a safety group called OSHA they inspect

me I m sure most of us feel that our home is the safest place to be The National Council of Safety tells us that about half of all accidents occur in our homes The reason is that we break simple safety rules Falls bums and scalds poisoning cuts electricity can all cause great problems but if we would use good safety rules they would hardly ever happen I remember a few years ago my older brother and all die neighborhood kids were in our house waiting for the school bus It was an extra cold morning and the bus was very late All the girls jumped in our car with my mom and we went to see why the bus was so late and what we should do My brother and two other neighbor boys were still at our house They asked my brother what gun he used to hunt pheasants He thought the guns which were standing by our front door were empty He picked up the gun he had used and all three of the kids sat on the sofa to look at it He aimed the gun at the other side of the room and pulled the trigger It had a shotgun shell in it It blew a hole in our wall about the size of a grapefruit When we returned the boys were really shook up They had taken the Hunter Safety Course and they knew what could have happened My brother cried to my mom he knew the safety rules but someone had been careless and should have put the guns in the locked gun chest downstairs I decided then and there that I would take the Hunter Safety class so I would know the safety rules I have since done that and I have learned about gun safety The day that accident happened could have really been a disaster because there were eight kids in all in our family room where he shot the gun We have been very careful since that time We realize a simple act of safety was ignored Our school has many safety programs We try very hard to keep our school and grounds safe We have nine buses coming and going twice a day Safety rules are very strict at bus loading time and we arc very glad they arc Our community is small only about three hundred people but we still must obey safety rules maybe more than in the city because we don't have stop lights etc Many people in our town do not lock their homes or their cars Wc feci it is a more relaxed way to live but if safety is our life we should protect everything we have I feel the most important thing we can do is to leant safety in all things Safety is a great and good part of our lives If we will have “Safety First" as our motto we will have a safe and happy life Fruit tree growers can gain the upper hand against pests if they apply dormant and prebloom oil sprays to their
