C., Monday, February 23, 1959 Employees Are Commended For Outstanding Safety Record Achieved During 1958 A barbecue dinner, given as an award for their outstanding safety record in 1958, was served to all employees in the Karastan Rug Mill Tuesday, February 17. In a well-planned operation, plates of barbecue, “hush puppies” and free Cokes and coffee were served in all de partments, on all three shifts, on a schedule approximating the employees’ usual lunch periods. The Karastan employees earned the barbecue by working the entire year of 1958 with an accident frequency rat ing which was better than 75 per cent below the State average for textile mills. A bulletin board notice commending the employees on their excellent record NO. 16 in 1958 and announcing the barbecue was signed by J. M. Norman, Jr., mill manager; F. W. Klein, assistant mana ger, Virgil Hall, assistant to Mr. Klein; and J. G. Cunningham, superintendent. The Karastan Mill, some weeks ago, exceeded the million man-hour mark without a lost-time accident. Safety ef forts are being intensified with the goal of working the entire year of 1959 with out a lost-time injury in the mill. In former years, Karastan established enviable records of safe work and at one time possessed the best safety record in the carpet industry. As the mill seeks to recapture its high place in safety, employees are being urged to continue their interest in safety and good housekeeping practices. Em phasis is being placed on the observance of all safety rules, the reporting and correction of unsafe conditions and the elimination of unsafe acts.
