Photographs, $6.50 el CLARICE IRWIN Toronto Vancouver Goderich Celebration Arch County engineer James W. Britnell informed.Huron: county council, in i;oderich last week that additional :safety precau, tions and method$ have been and are being adopted by the county roads . organization to minimize the danger of another fatal accident on the county roads system similar to the one that occurred on County Road 2? •on May 15 -when John Tay. for Creighton, 65 -year-old nag., man,' Blyth, was fatally injured. Mr. Britnell described .the difficulties involved in select- ing personnel for such a job as flagman, but stated that act.o ion had been taken to prevent a recurrence by distributing safety memoranda to all emp. loyees and urging them to wean, .n Proper safety equipment at all timee. The human factor was important, he pointed out. "The Huron county highways c epartment has always attemp• ted to nrovide such safety equip. rnent and instructions required to protect the employees and is continuing this practice," •m1,. lBritnell stated. "We have initiated a series of lectures sponsored by the construction safety association." "° The engineer reported: "It .would appear from information" gathered by all investigations (Ontario department of labour, construction safety association, workmen's compensatioxi board and Ontario Provincial Police) that the flagman did not heed the instructions of his foreman and instead of remaining 300 feet away from the 'site of the actual work, he moved down closer to the project and step. ped backwards into , the path of the motor grader which was backing up at the time." Mr. Britnell read tb council the verdict of the coroner's.' jury at an inquest held in the Court House, Goderich, June 16: "Road grader driven by Mr. G. Miller passing over-'hisbody- causing multiple injuries to ab. domen. -We, the jury, attach no blame to the , grader operator, Mr. Gordon Miller. We, the jury recommend that the flagman be fully trained in this type of work and also be required to have 'a physical-examinationbe. fore he is,employed."
