How Much Are Eyes And Feet Worths
Employees’ eyes have been saved in
12 known instances since the eye pro
tection program was started, and safety
shoes have prevented at least five seri
ous foot injuries.
Some actual cases:
Gary Grogg of the Blanket Mill was
lining up two ends of a baling tie. An
Allen wrench broke in the vise and flew
toward his eyes. His safety glas.ses were
cracked but his eyes were not injured.
Walter Montgomery, Karastan, was
moving 1500 lbs. of clay. He stepped
backward into a drain well end the
powered lift truck rolled on his foot.
The steel cap in his safety shoe saved
his foot.
Joseph Martin, Karastan, on a convey
ing truck, inadvertently placed his feet
outside the guard provided. His foot was
caught between the truck and a steel
column. Safety shoes prevented an in
jury to his foot.
But personal protective equipment can
serve its purpose only if you have it
and if you wear it. Ask the people who
have worn it when they needed it.
