The Towel Mill at Fieldale, Va., has been given recognition by the Virginia Manufacturers Association for its safety record during the calendar year 1960. The mill has received a plaque and a letter from the V.M.A. stating that the Towel Mill with its outstandingly low accident frequency rate of .39 earned the Association’s Safety Award of Merit for having the lowest frequency rate within its industry group in the State of Virginia. (The accident frequency rate is the number of lost-time injuries per million man-hours of operation). In informal ceremonies in the Towel Mill conference room, the plaque was accepted by D. A. Purcell, mill manager and a group of production employees representing various departments in the mill. The group included Bernice Isenhour, representing the Spinning Department; Richard Turner, Weave Room; and Ruby Watson, Sewing Department. The Towel Mill employees are con tinuing their good record and no injury resulting in lost time has occurred dur ing 1961. Until a lost-time accident oc curred last November, the Towel Mill employees had worked well over three million man-hours without lost time due to injury. The Towel Mill, some years ago, ac cumulated just short of four million man-hours without a lost-time accident —an all-time record at Fieldcrest Mills. They have set as their goal a new record of four million man-hours. 5
