Good Safety Record Achieved Under Bayles' Supervision
No deaths or serious injuries resulting from accidents have occurred since C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, began as head of that department of the University 18 years ago.
He said that the employees carry no workman's compensation policy. This is explained by the fact that the state carries no insurance of any kind. The exception at the University is that they do carry boiler insurance in the power plant, but public liability, property damage, fire, burglary, and theft insurance is not carried.
"We've been fortunate." Mr. Bayles said, "but we've also taken every kind of precaution to prevent accidents. On the whole, the work is not hazardous, most of the workers having maintenance jobs. A job may call for their getting on top of the highest roof to repair it, but caution has prevented any mishaps."
No Workman's Compensation
Minor injuries occur occasionally, and are treated with first aid equipment at the headquarters building. If necessary, they are taken to Watkins Memorial hospital where care is given. Outside of minor first aid treatment, other medical attention must be paid for by the accident victim.
Must Go to Claims Committee
If the injury should be extensive and cost'y, the only legal way in which the victim can be compensated is to go to the claims committee of the state legislature. Compensation may be granted through legislative action then.
Mr. Bayles said it would be well for persons to realize that if they or their property at the University were injured or damaged in any way by vehicles belonging to the state, these persons cannot sue for that would be suing the state, which law has prohibited. It is necessary to remember that they can be repaid by taking the same action as the injured worker, which is by applying to the claims committee for compensation for damages.
Precaution Needed, Bayles Says
Precaution, he urges again, is the best measure for preventing accidents. At the power plant electrical
equipment has been fenced in. Steel helmets, goggles and an air supply are supplied to men in the steam house. Electricians wear rubber gloves as protection from high voltages.
The automobiles and trucks are kept in good condition. Experienced, reliable drivers are selected to drive these vehicles as a protection to themselves and to those who will come in contact with them every day.
