Togetherness "Chain Robbins"

[Dave Monroe]

"Chain Robbins, Safety Engineering Group Supervisor at
Boeing, has put it this way: 'One of the most
unpleasant things about this business is the day you
suddenly realize that many of the safety codes the Air
Force and Industry have were generated out of
tragedy--someone killed, someone mangled for life. You
might say one of the objectives of the safety
movement, which got under way around 1911, is to
generate codes from tests, studies of human reactions,
statistical data, near misses, everything we can get,
to prevent future tragedies from ever happening.'"
(Togetherness)
