New Inspectors Start Term
With Lively Discussion
A new group of Safety Inspectors held their first meeting
last week, when a lively discussion on several safety-related
subjects was held.
Probably the most important
item discussed was the need for
operators keeping their ma
chines in a cleaner condition.
Safety Director Ossie Wright
brought the subject up, saying
■there definitely is a need for the
machines to be kept cleaner and
asked the inspectors for any sug
gestions about improving this
situation.
Ossie suggested the inspectors
consider the problem and talk
with other employees about it
and return to the next meeting
with ideas for starting on a
“cleaner machines” program.
Ossie mentioned that only a
minute or two a day is required
to dust off and clean lint from a
machine and that if the machines
are kept in a clean condition, the
operator actually can work better.
The last safety inspection
made, which was in August,
found these departments with
grades of 100: Pants Two, Pants
One, Pattern, Cutting at Sherrod,
Work Shirt, Sport Shirt, Finish
ing, Ladies, Utility, Dungaree,
Printing Office, Engineering,
White Office and Cutting at Hud
son.
