Careless drivers create safety hazard at studio
At the first Safety Committee meeting of the year, held January 6 in the Production Bungalow, attention was called to the fact that studio truck drivers have repeatedly parked trucks in the middle of the street to unload equipment, and in many cases have parked facing the wrong way. This has created a serious hazard, and Mr. Christensen, Chairman of the Committee, stated that all drivers must park parallel to the curb when loading or unloading.
In the discussion that followed it was disclosed that both studio drivers and other employees had not been making definite stops at the STOP SIGNS. Drivers who fail to observe the traffc laws of this studio will be reported to Vic Christensen, Assistant Studio Manager, for investigation.
Thirty-three different departments were represented at this meeting and the delegates reported that all the safety suggestions of the previous meeting had been corrected and that all equipment was in proper working condition, or was being investigated.
Among the other business discussed was the careless way in which equipment was left laying around the stages. Each department working on the stages should be responsible for picking up their own equipment, so as not to create a safety hazard for the other workers.
