Woodworking—Section II Page 5

DANGER ON HILLS. When approaching a hill teamsters should make sure that the hill is in safe condition before attempting to go down. Many serious accidents have happened on account of hills not being in proper shape, which caused the load to gee away, injuring and killing men and teams.

RAILROADS

JUMPING OFF CARS. Don't jump on or off the trains while they are in motion and when riding on cars to and from the camp, be careful; otherwise you are likely to be seriously injured or killed.

STANDING TOO NEAR MOVING TRAIN. When a train of logs is passing always stand back from the track at least twenty feet. You may be struck by a loose log.

HOW TO HANDLE DYNAMITE AND CAPS WITH SAFETY

THE HANDLING OF EXPLOSIVES IS DANGEROUS BUSINESS. Every man Should Observe the Following Rules:

SMOKING FORBIDDEN. Smoking while handling explosives is strictly forbidden.

DON'T LET EXPLOSIVES FALL. Don't throw or allow boxes of explosives to fall violently.

USE WOODEN TAMPING STICKS. Don't do tamping with iron or steel bars or tools. Use only the wooden tamping sticks provided for this work.

CARE OF EXPLOSIVES. Don't allow explosives to lie around loose in places where you are working.

CAPS KEPT SEPARATE FROM DYNAMITE. Don't leave blasting caps in the same box with, or close to, dynamite.

DON'T CARRY CAPS IN POCKET. Don't carry blasting caps in your pocket, and don't tap or otherwise investigate same.

REMOVING BLASTING CAPS FROM BOX. Don't attempt to remove blasting caps from boxes by inserting nails or any sharp instrument.
