234 Cet OSHA-Approved First Aid Course
A eiO^ 'ij^C L __■¥_
A total of 234 Fieldcrest employees
have now received the American Ked
Cross multi-media first aid course
which meets the technical requirements
of the new federal Occupational Safe
ty and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA). All
who completed this course received cer
tificates valid for three years.
This training and retraining of Field-
crest’s first aid attendants was begun
in November, 1972, in all mills and is
continuing to date. Scheduling calls for
completion of all mills by mid-1973.
Although Fieldcrest has had trained
first aid attendants for many years,
OSHA regulations state that all first
aid attendants must have completed a
course developed either by the Ameri
can Red Cross or the U. S. Bureau of
Mines.
The Fieldcrest Medical Department
selected the Red Cross multi-media
course as being best suited to the Com
pany’s needs.
The classes, which consist of films,
workbooks and practice sessions, are
being taught by Norman Austin, super
visor of medical services, and Lloyd
Bolt, medical technician, both of the
Fieldcrest Medical Department. Both
men hold instructor ratings from the
American Red Cross for this course.
Those who have satisfactorily com
pleted the Red Cross multi-media
course to date are:
