I)o Your Part To Eliminate
Unsafe Acts and Conditions

are repeated.
^*ast experience shows that, gen-
more accidents happen in
p,^gust than in any other month.
?*' that reason, special efforts
be made at Fieldcrest during

^^t’s look at our own record:
August 1955, there were five
^%loyees injured seriously
Ato lose time from work.
in August 1956, five per-
! at Fieldcrest received injur-
^hat resulted in lost time,
n own safety experience for
and other years indicates
that five or six injuries causing
lost time may normally be expect
ed in August.
But it doesn’t have to be that
way. If you study the accident
reports at Fieldcrest for the past
several years, two things stand
out as causes of accidents:
(1) An unsafe act by the per
son who was injured.
(2) An unsafe condition allow
ed to continue until it
eventually caused an acci
dent.
It’s easy to see that accident
prevention is mostly a matter of
working safely yourself and of
reporting to the supervisor any
unsafe condition that you observe.
Pictures on these pages show the
easiest ways you can help prevent
injuries to yourself and to others.
