. L(33 1 --I

 Notwithstanding Mr. Williams explanations for certain of his injuries, his injury record was substantially worse than the average for the department.

 Mr. Williams' injury record has not improved in spite of his attendance at safety classes and after numerous warnings. Given the number of Mr. Williams' injuries and the absence of improvement following safety instruction, the Carrier has reasonably concluded that Mr. Williams would continue to incur an unacceptable injury record.
