Certificate; the National Safety First Association Diploma awarded to E J Line (Central Buses) by the LPTB, 1938

This certificate was awarded to E J Line by the National Safety First Association. It states that Mr Line, who worked for Central Buses, was 'free from accidents for which he was in any way blameworthy, whilst driving a vehicle during the year ending 31st December, 1938.' Established in 1916, the National Safety First Council was set up to tackle safety in the workplace on a national scale. Later, the National Safety First Association was formed. It introduced incentives such as a safe driving competition to improve road safety. The association later became known as The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
