dents that occur in industry each year,
an estimated 00% of them could be pre
vented, according to the National So
ciety for the Prevention of Blindness.
“It is this appalling statistic, coupled
v/ith the fact that vision is probably
the most valuable of our senses, that
makes eye protection a vital part of
our safety program”, said Kenneth R.
Baggett, Fieldcrest safety director.
Eye protective equipment is the safe
ty topic being emphasized during May

subject of taiks being given by mem
bers of the Safety Department to the
mill safety committees.

types of protective equipment used at
Fieldcrest. Also used are cover-all gog

protectors shaU be provided where ma
chines or operations present the haz

jurious radiation or a combination of
these hazards.”
The Safety Department urges the use
of the proper type of eye protection and
the proper care of this equipment.
