Abstract
A REPORT by Prof. H. Levy on “War and Industrial Injuries” which has been issued by the Fabian Society (Tract Series No. 253) emphasizes the importance in the war effort of the fitness of the army of industrial workers behind the soldier, and directs attention to the cost of industrial accidents not only in sums paid for compensation but also in the loss of working time, both direct and indirect. In present circumstances it is emphasized that we must use to the full every ounce of man-power we possess that can be employed on production and that the present arrangements for preventing accidents and still more for the treatment of injuries and of industrial disease result in a very great and unnecessary waste of man-power-a wastage which is likely to be enormously increased under war conditions.
