An editorial from the journal Engineering (19 January 1900) on a report by two H.M. Inspectors of Factories about preventing machinery accidents in cotton mills. It gives accident statistics for 1897 and 1898, notes that guards are fitted to machines built for Germany and Russia but often omitted on those for Britain, and discusses the inspectors' six general recommendations (set screws, toothed wheels, loose pulleys, shaft ends, close-fitting clothing). It also mentions a shuttle guard for looms, guards for spinning mules, and a Mulhouse society's book of safety appliances, and considers employers' liability under the Workmen's Compensation Act.
