Laurelcrest Service Center Gives Exo
An outstanding example of
what can be accomplished in a
well - conducted housekeeping
program is provided by the
Laurelcrest Service- Center at
Laurel Hill.
Good management leadership
in the program has received the
strong support of the employees,
who take pride in maintaining
cleanliness and orderliness in
their work surroundings. System
atic cleaning practices have been
established involving virtually
every employee and there is a
strict follow-up by supervision.
Equipment, floors, walls, posts,
ceilings, light fixtures and air
conditioning ducts are kept clean
on an everyday basis. There is no
special clean-up day. Floors are
kept clean each day; touch-up
painting is done promptly when
needed; regular painting, floor
finishing and other maintenance
duties are kept up to date.
Floors are marked with zone
lines with certain areas designat
ed for the orderly storage of
trucks, boxes and other movable
equipment. Aisles and floor areas
are kept free from obstructions
and open for the movement of
traffic.
E. J. Allard, manager, and
V. L. Walters, general foreman,
agreed that the primary reason
for the success of the program is
the active interest and coopera
tion of the employees.
“While management has the
responsibility for housekeeping,
the employees have to have pride
and interest for the program to
be effective,” Mr. Allard said.
“The most important thing about
our set-up is that the employees
have the desire for clean and
orderly work surroundings.”
Keep Safe When You
Are Off the Job, Too
Four Fieldcresters were killed in au
tomobile accidents during 1971 — evi
dence of the importance of off-the-job
safety as well as accident prevention
while at work.
Three employees lost their lives in
auto collisions and one retired employee
was struck by a car and killed.
“No one likes to read such statistics,”
said K. R. Baggett, Fieldcrest safety
director, “but they remind us that we
should all handle an automobile with
care and not take chances. If you gam
ble your life, you could lose it.”
In Sample Department, note orderly storage of carpet samples. Floors are
clean and well-kept, surrounding areas orderly.
