“If there is the will to achieve, if true accident causes are known and remedies are effectively applied, there can be no question of results. From the point of view of the industrial executive, no innovations are required. He may apply to accident prevention the very same methods that are successful in controlling the quality and volume of products. The task is simple but not easy. It requires intelligence, understanding, and application. The ability and the power to prevent accidents lie at hand. The machinery is established, the tools are available —there remains nothing but hard work based upon thorough understanding of principles.”
Industrial Accident Prevention – A Scientific Approach, H. W. Heinrich, Assistant Superintendent Engineering and Inspection Division, The Travelers Insurance Company, 1941
