New Safety Record
Set At Towel Mill
Employees of the Towel Mill at Field-
ale, Va., recently completed 4,100,000
man-hours without a lost-time acci
dent, an all-time record for that plant.
The new record, which surpassed their
former accomplishment of approximate
ly 4,000,000 man-hours, was terminated
July 25 when an employee sustained a
disabling injury.
K. R. Baggett, Fieldcrest safety di
rector, in commending the Towel Mill
employees for their safety performance,
said, “Although the record has been
terminated, this was an excellent ac
complishment of which every Towel Mill
employee should be proud.”
