‘Susie’ Reminds Bedspread Mill
Employees Of Safety Epuipment
“Susie”, a rag doll, is reminding Bedspread Mill employe®®
of the importance of wearing personal protective equipment to
avoid injuries on the job.
The doll was created by Catherine Cochran, a Bedspread
Mill Inspecting Department employee who has almost 30 years
of continuous service with the Company.
She made “Susie” out of bedspread remnants during h®’’
break periods. She equipped the doll with safety glasses, safety
shoes and ear muffs and made a sign giving safety tips to g®
with it.
She got the idea at her department’s monthly safety meeting
and Elmira Priddy, first shift supervisor of the Bedspread
Cloth Room, encouraged her in the project.
Mike Booth, Bedspread Mill training coordinator, quickly
saw that it would be helpful for “Susie” to visit other depart
ments in the mill.
Mr. Booth said, “We are trying to create a ‘safety conscious
attitude among employees by displaying numerous safety post
ers and by having safety talks with all employees. We think
that Susie will serve a purpose in reminding employees to wear
their personal protective equipment while on the job.”
