Abstract
This article begins by emphasizing the importance of management support for a successful utility safety program. Manuals on safety programs for water utilities are recommended, along with five basic common‐sense steps for preventing accidents. Based on the size of the utility, the foreman has the responsibility of preventing accidents in the larger utilities, whereas in a small utility the manager is the safety director. The National Safety Council's Supervisors' Safety Manual is called out as a good resource for safety managers, along with the Manual's Instructor Guide, “Five Minute Safety Talks For Foremen,” general once‐a‐month safety meetings, a National Safety Council‐sponsored safety contest, record‐keeping for accident inspection, equipment and process safety, and safety training.
