Let's Reduce Accidents
Caused By Human Error
Ss*
Walter Tinsley, a fixer in the Spinning Department
at the Bedspread Mill, points at the micro-switch inside
the head of a spinning frame. When the door latch is
open, the micro-switch automatically shuts off the
power.
The safety record at Fieldcrest is good, but it can be bet
ter. The best way to improve our record is to prevent human
error. Here are some ways in which everyone can help pre
vent accidents:
1. Practice good housekeeping. Keep aisles as clear as
possible at loading and unloading points. Clean up spilled
j' liquids, grease or powdered material immediately.
2. Avoid loose clothing or jewelry that might be caught
|vAin machinery or moving materials. For men, long neckties,
open sleeves and jackets are hazards. For women on most
jobs, bracelets and beads can be hazardous.
^ 3. When lifting is required, keep your back as erect as
'possible. This posture, according to physiologists, uses the
heavy leg muscles and places minimum tension on those
parts of the body most subject to injury from lifting. Ask
for help if a lifting job is too heavy for one person.
4. Do not make repairs unless you are authorized to do
so. Report the need to your supervisor. This applies also
to major oiling and grease jobs.
5. If every individual employee makes safety his or her
responsibility, even the best safety record can be improved.
