Karastan Safety Sign
Gets Much Attention
A large sign at the entrance to the
Karastan Mill reminds employees that
there are no replacement parts for eyes,
hands and feet—that eyes and limbs are
too precious to be risked through care
lessness.
Messages on the outside board are
changed weekly and are coordinated
with those on departmental safety
boards and with biweekly safety re
minders distributed to all employees.
The signs and leaflets are some of the
activities in Karastan’s broad and well
organized safety program.
The Karastan employees have work
ed well over 500 days without any lost
time due to injury and are approaching
21/2 million accident-free man-hours, an
all-time record for the mill.
At the end of January, Karastan em
ployees had worked an average of 3,070
hours without a lost-time injury. They
have set a new goal of 4,000 hours per
employee. When this goal is attained the
employees will be entitled to a second
safety barbecue in the Fieldcrest safety
contest.
