THE PROCESS BY WHICH POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ARE BEING IDENTIFIED ARE DESCRIBED, AND THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES SCHEDULED ON THE BASIS OF "HAZARD INDICATORS" ARE REVIEWED. BENEFIT-COST RELATIONSHIP OF SPOT IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ARE DISCUSSED AND A GRAPH ILLUSTRATING PROJECT COST INDEX IS PRESENTED. THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF IMPROVED SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ARE OUTLINED. SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN APPROACH IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARD INDICATORS IN TWO STATES ARE DISCUSSED.
