Excerpt from The Proceedings of the First Annual Industrial Safety Conference Held at the University of Nevada, Vol. 8: January 1, 1914 The first State Industrial Safety Conference was held at the University of Nevada on January 26th and 27th, 1914, under the direction of the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of the University, co-operating with the Nevada Industrial Commission. The primary object of the meeting was to bring together men who were fundamentally interested in the problems of conservation of human life and to effect a permanent organization for the propagation of a Statewide industrial safety movement. The papers, talks and discussions here presented will give some adequate idea of the splendid public spirit shown by the six hundred people who participated in the meetings. The keynote sounded was for greater co-operation and more adequate care on part of employer and employee to secure maximum safety of life and limb, and for wider and better opportunities for young men to become skilled and careful workmen. The University of Nevada hereby makes acknowledgment of the active support of the various labor organizations of the State, the management of the railroads, electric power and mining companies, the State Industrial Commission, and numerous individuals whose deep interest and assistance made the conference such a marked success. The University is also indebted to the Southern Pacific Company and others for the carefully prepared and comprehensive exhibits illustrating plications of the Safety First Movement.
