Employee Avoids
Injury To Foot
An employee at Foremost
Screen Print was recently saved
from a serious foot injury by the
fact that he was wearing safety
shoes.
On January 21, Ray A.
Grogan, a print machine fixer
No. 2, was putting a pallette on a
lift truck. As he was pushing the
heavy rack, it hung on the fork of
the lift truck and dropped back,
hitting the top of Mr. Grogan’s
foot. The blow peeled back the
leather of the safety shoe, but no
damage to the foot occurred.
Mr. Grogan has been
nominated for membership in
the Golden Shoe Club of
America, an organization made
up of persons who have avoided
serious foot injury by wearing
safety shoes.
