Carlene Wood, a purchasing
clerk at the Foremost Screen
Print Plant, recently had an
accident on the job which could
have caused serious injury to
one of her eyes had she not
been wearing safety glasses.
She was pushing a carton
into the storage area when her
hand slipped on the door and it
swung toward her, the knob
hitting the lens of her glasses.
Had she been wearing regular
glasses, she would have been
badly cut by shattered glass.
The lens of the safety glasses
did not break, but popped out of
the frame.
Mrs. Wood says that she is
certainly glad that she was
wearing the safety glasses. “I
hate to think what would have
happened to my eye if I hadn’t
been wearing them,” she said.
