Employee Health Is Safeguarded At Mills (Continued from Page Four) over a certain age, down to and in cluding assistant foremen in the mills. This is a voluntary examination with the purpose of finding any hidden or beginning diseases and then motivating the person to follow up and get any treatment through his own physician. This program could be extended to others in the future through the mobile health unit. Occupational medicine has other fa cets not generally thought of in the scope of a medical department. Dr. Springer said his department must work closely with the Safety Department because of the obvious tie-in between accidents and the resulting necessity of medical attention; and the Legal Department in helping to prepare cases involving an injured person. Additionally, the medical director in cooperation with the Safety Depart ment is involved in inspections at mills on such problems as dust and noise. “We look into any problems that exist in the environment and which affect the health of the employee,” Dr. Spring er said. There are six employees in the Medi cal Department at Eden, in addition to Dr. Springer; and the services of a private physician are available at ev ery mill. There are full time nurses at the Columbus Towel Mill and at the Fieldale Towel Mill. All of this combined means a high degree of medical attention, facilities and knowledge available for all Field- crest employees. 8 Business Students See General Offices Office Practice students from King’s Business College, Greensboro, toured the General Offices recently, one of the several such groups that will be visiting Fieldcrest this spring.
