"How accidents in plants and factories can be reduced through precautionary measures forms the subject of this film. Emphasis is placed on having employees wear at all times the type of clothing which will allow them to do their jobs with maximum safety. Safety Sam shows what the right clothing is for the right job. He demonstrates how these can actually cut down accidents in factories and, when they do happen, minimize their seriousness."
