“On Guard.”

On Guard is the title of a special little pocket magazine issued by the National Safety First Assn. (London) as part of a specialised accident prevention service, which consists of an intensive campaign each month against one of the principal dangers of industry. In an issue of the magazine just to hand, the particular hazard covered is “Collisions with Objects,” which, as Sir Gerald Bellhouse, Chief Inspector of Factories, points out, are the cause of injury to about 11,000 people each year in industry alone. He gives some useful hints on how to avoid such injury. The magazine deals with various aspects of Health, as well as Safety, at Work, in the Street and in the Home.

The Health hint for the month is the much discussed one of exercise. “Do anything to get just out of breath—and no more—once a day” is one of the maxims of this article.

The magazine also contains particulars of a competition, the purpose of which is to find out which means of arousing interest in accident prevention is most effective. As the editorial points out, “a large proportion of the fifteen thousand killed and the million injured annually in various forms of accidents would be saved if more interest were taken in prevention.”

Copies of On Guard can be obtained, price 2d. each, post free, from (or quotations for quantities will be given by) the National Safety First Association, 119, Victoria Street, London, S.W.1.
