FIRST AID ATTENDANTS TRAINED
FIRST AID FACILITIES EXPANDED
On October 16 and 17, TexElastic held a
Multi-Media First Aid Course at the Archdale
plant. The sixteen employees of the Yarn and
Hosiery Divisions attending the eight-hour
training session are now certified by the
American Red Cross to administer in-plant
first aid for the next three years.
TexElastic employees completing the Red
Cross first aid course pause in the Archdale
plant's new first aid room. On the front row,
left to right, are Ken Ingram, Joyce Kirby and
Frances Eller; on the back row, left to right,
are Bill Rook, Ken Ervin, Jerry Holder, Bill
Younan, Roger Inman and Wilford Venable.
Hosiery Division employees qualifying for
certificates were Joseph Arnold, Esther Cook
and Cecil Wyatt, all of the Men's and Boys'
Division in High Point; and Sandra Shepard,
Dwight Miller, Max Moore and Ruth Lee of the
Ladies' Hosiery Division in High Point.
THE GIFT
THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
NEW FIRST AID ROOM, ARCHDALE
When an injury is sustained, it should be
reported to supervision immediately in order
that first aid maybe administered if needed
and a doctor's services engaged if profession
al treatment is necessary.
The label room in the Raeford plant is
being converted into a first aid room. With
these new facilities, the Yarn Division will be
much better prepared to administer first aid
when an injury occurs on the job.
TEXELASTIC ENGAGES NEW PHYSICIAN SERVICES
TexElastic's Archdale plant, along with
Adams-Minis Texturing and Dyeing in High
Point, has a new group of physicians who will
take care of all employees who have an accident
on the job. The new group. High Point Surgical
Associates, is comprised of Doctors Douglass,
Canipe, and Carr, who will work with injured
employees to administer proper medical treat
ment so the employees can return to work as
soon as possible after an injury and thereby
lose as little wages as possible.
TexElastic looks forward to a close working
relationship with the new physicians and is glad
to b e able to provide excellentprofessional care
to its employees when an accident occurs.
The company will continue, however, to
provide the safest possible working conditions
and encourage employees to work safely so there
will be NO ACCIDENTS,
