Carelessness
Takes No Vacation
A bottle was left on the floor at
Southern Die Casting and, as the
sweeper turned around to put some
trash in a barrel, he stepped on the
bottle. Fortunately, he was not
injured too seriously, but he did re
quire medical attention. Your care
lessness may be the cause of some
one's getting injured.
It pays to check every tool or
machine you operate. A machinist
plugged in an electric hand grinder.
He did not know the last person who
used the grinder had left the switch
turned on. Nor did he notice that he
was holding the grinder with his hand.
When the current started the grinder,
his thumb was cut in several places
with the grinder wheel.
A knitter was carrying her tweez
ers in her pocket with the sharp points
protruding. As she stooped over to
pick up socks, her arm was cut on the
tweezer points. Now we know to keep
the sharp points of our tools covered
in holsters provided for that purpose.
Then there was the dye machine
operator who was washing a sock in
the machine while the machine was in
motion. The machine reversed and
caught his hand between the machine
and the basket. Six stitches were
required. All operators of all kinds
of machines are again reminded to
keep hands out of machines in motion.
Our excellent record of over 3
million hours worked without a lost
time injury at Plant #7 was broken
when an employee in the Shipping De
partment struck her toe against a case
of goods, fell and fractured her hip.
Every employee has a part in our
safety program. Watch every step
you take. It could be you next time.
Protect your eyes with safety
goggles. You can get the original
eye replaced with one of glass which
will look the same to other people,
but you can't see the same with it.
