Farm Petroleum Safety 1954 American Petroleum Institute API

This farm safety film is full of vivid pictures and stories of the misuses of petroleum and the proper and safe ways to use petroleum on the farm. The film by the American Petroleum Institute (API) was designed to warn farmers of the dangers of petroleum products and show them how to handle them safely. It also seems to be trying to reduce lawsuits by blaming the victims -- a common corporate tactic. It starts at a county fair, where the local Farm Safety Committee, aided by the fire department, gives a speech and demonstration on petroleum products and their dangers. The short includes a shattering sequence in which a mother and her children are burned to death when their house catches fire because of careless petroleum use. The film received a Golden Reel Award at the American Film Assembly in 1954 and was hailed by farm and safety experts, at the time, as one of the best of its kind. The film was photographed and directed by Henry Ushijima who later founded Henry Ushijima Productions. He became a Hollywood sound engineer after his internment at Manzanar prison camp because of his Japanese heritage. He was a 1942 graduate of the University of California, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with the highest scholastic record of all candidates for degrees. He was chosen by the faculty as University Medalist of 1942. He could not attend commencement exercises because of his internment. Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries today. Farmers are at very high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries. Farming is one of the few industries in which the families, including teens are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries.
