1960 Safety Results
Reviewed At Meeting
Fieldcrest Mills’ safety record for
1960 shows there were 22 cases in which
time was lost due to injuries, as com
pared with 19 such cases the year be
fore. The 1960 frequency rate was 2.02,
against 1.84 for 1959.
In addition to the injuries causing
lost time, in 1960 there were 10 cases
which required medical treatment and
were classified as sub-major injuries
although no time was lost from work.
There were eight such injuries in 1959.
These figures were reported to the
Central Safety Committee at its regu
lar quarterly meeting February 1 by H.
E. Williams, safety director.
It was pointed out that while Field-
crest’s frequency rate was higher than
in 1959, it was outstandingly low com
pared with the Department of Labor’s
6.5 frequency rate for the textile in
dustry in North Carolina.
At the safety meeting, C. J. Frank,
director of industrial relations, extend
ed congratulations to five units which
in I960 qualified for State Labor De
partment safety awards by having an
accident frequency rate only 25 per cent
or less of the State average.
These were the Automatic Blanket,
Bedspread, Karastan and Towel mills
and the Specials Department. Ehiploy-
ees of each of these units will be given
a barbecue later in the year.
F. E. Barron, assistant manager of the
Bedspread Mill, was elected chairman
of the Central Safety Committee for
1961, succeeding D. E. Simons, Towel
Mill superintendent. J. G. Cunningham,
superintendent of the Karastan Rug Mill,
was elected vice chairman and H. E.
Williams was re-elected secretary.
