PROJECTORS PHILIPPINE ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES, INC. REGINA BLDG., MANILA * Philippine Safety Council By Frank S. Tenny Executive Hired or THE activities of the Philippine Safety Council become increasingly of interest to industrial and commercial organizations as the scope of work undertaken by the new agency enlarges. Effective this month, the company safety program in effect at the Manila Electric Company shifts its main emphasis from driver training to industrial safety, particularly in connection with linemen and the operating department. Likewise, the San Miguel safety program now is concerned mainly with fire-prevention and fire-fighting measures. Elizalde enterprises are now well into the second phase of their fire-prevention activity, which is actual demonstration of fire-fighting equipment and fire drills. This fire-phase of the PSC work may soon be rewarded by a decision of the major fire insurance companies to grant substantial reductions in premiums to clients who are adequately protected by fire-fighting equipment and who are conducting an educational campaign among their employees. Information on this will be known soon, and inquiry is invited. Showing the effectiveness of a determined and com plete driver-training program, an example is given of the case involving over 400' MERALCO bus drivers, plus their conductors. In five months the monthly accident rate was reduced by 52%, and there has been an almost complete disappearance of traffic-ticket and allied diffi culties. These busses now drive an average of 5,400 miles through Manila traffic for every accident encountered. A special safety program at the Rockgas Service, Inc., is approaching completion, and other safety services are continuously being rendered the Pangasinan Transporta tion Company. Other companies evincing an interest in industrial safety programs are Puyat & Sons, Philippine Refining Company, Bachrach Motor Company, and others. Memberships in the Safety Council are now open to applicants in several different categories. Inquiries are welcomed at the office, or through this magazine. It is reported that a very good response is being shown to this first annual membership drive. In the Public Safety Department efforts continue with new emphasis. The PSC participation in the Mayor’s Traffic Committee, the Advisory Safety Council to the Secretary of Labor, the police training of the Customs Patrol Service, the Manila Junior Chamber of Commerce, Town MANILA SHIPYARD, DRYDOCK AND ENGINEERING CO.
