Scope and content
In 1943, the US Department of Labor proposed that manpower be conserved by preventing accidents. In recognition of the National Conservation of Manpower through Accident Prevention Week, a group of Tacomans was studying advanced safety measures to be used in plants. They were inspecting and touring 12 of Tacoma's larger vital plants. The group is pictured visiting Birchfield Boiler and posing at the bow of a military ship under construction. Names listed in the newspaper. (T.Times, 2/22/1943, p. 3)
