Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's peacetime explosives accident experience suggests that soldiers are disregarding safe practices. Users of explosives are not following established procedures; they are even bypassing control mechanisms designed to ensure safety. This casual approach to dangerous systems can only result in disaster. Any unit using pyrotechnic simulators or employing demolitions is subject to explosives accidents. The information in this packet, based on Army wide accident experience during FYs 86 and 87, focuses on Army explosives accidents by military users. It does not include explosives accidents that occurred in the development or storage of explosives devices or munitions or accidents involving individual or crew-served weapons or weapons systems. Injured soldiers were hospitalized for 1,428 days, lost an additional 2,280 workdays, and could only perform in a restricted capacity for an additional 4,097 days. This lost manpower is all the more critical with the continuing personnel cutbacks. Sound, proven safety procedures exist for the storing, handling, and employment of all explosives. Any deviations from these established procedures can be catastrophic. Supervisors at all levels must be aware of all safety procedures involved for each munition or device, and they must ensure strict compliance. The following accident recaps are intended to help commanders and other unit leaders gain additional insight into preventing these kinds of accidents in the future.

Book excerpt: The first full account of why the American workplace became so dangerous, and why it is now so much safer. In 1907, American coal mines killed 3,242 men in occupational accidents, probably an all-time high both for the industry and for all laboring accidents in this country. In December alone, two mines at Monongah, West Virginia, blew up, killing 362 men. Railroad accidents that same year killed another 4,534. At a single South Chicago steel plant, 46 workers died on the job. In mines and mills and on railroads, work in America had become more dangerous than in any other advanced nation. Ninety years later, such numbers and events seem extraordinary. Although serious accidents do still occur, industrial jobs in the United States have become vastly and dramatically safer. In Safety First, Mark Aldrich offers the first full account of why the American workplace became so dangerous, and why it is now so much safer. Aldrich, an economist who once served as an OSHA investigator, first describes the increasing dangers of industrial work in late-nineteenth-century America as a result of technological change, careless work practices, and a legal system that minimized employers' responsibility for industrial accidents. He then explores the developments that led to improved safety—government regulation, corporate publicizing of safety measures, and legislation that raised the costs of accidents by requiring employers to pay workmen's compensation. At the heart of these changes, Aldrich contends, was the emergence of a safety ideology that stressed both worker and management responsibility for work accidents—a stunning reversal of earlier attitudes.
