Applications For
Safety Awards
Now Being Made |
Industrial plants which made
ompicuous advances in on-the-job
-afety during 1948 arc eligible for
' he Certificate of Safety Achieve
ment' which is presented annually
' :> oualifying establishments by the
North Carolina Department of
Labor.
Am. h-:i cement of 'lie opening of
pplications for the safety award
cover' ng the yttr was made
here I idiy by Gcm ?e W Kins*
Safr y Inspector npfeuntiiii the
Department of Labor in tin- Mur
phy District
"The Department of Labor is now
receiving safety award applications
from a number of industrial con
cern- on the basis of their plant
>alt ly records for last year King
.-aid. "Plant officials who believe
? h a t their establishment has
eual lied for the Certificate of
Safety Achievement by making the
-pccified accident rate reductions
inav obtain the necessary applica
tion blanks from the district office]
of th? Dt ; artm : t of Lab >r at j
\-*heville, or by writing direct to
the Department at Raleigh "
Mr. King explained that indus
trial plants may qualify fur the
-afcty award in any one of three
ways. 1 1 ) By having had a perfect
lecord of no lost-time accidents
during 1948: < 2 > by having reduc
ed their .i: lent frequency r.itcs
40 per cent or more below their
rates for the previous year; and
| '3) by having maintained during
j 1948 an accident rate at least 75
. per cent below the State average
I for their industry .
I "Qualifying establishments which
| already have received the Certifi
! eate of Safety Achievement for
previous years will not be awarded
I a new certificate this year." Mr.
King said. "Instead, they will be
j presented with a ribbon for attach
ment to their old certificate. The
ribbon will bear an inscription
indicating the number of consecu
tive years during which the estab
lishment has qualified for the
Labor Department's safety award."
The Department issues two
types of awards. Mr. King added.
One type is for establishments hav
ing 50 or more employees. This
certificate is presented as a joint
I ; ward from the North Carolina
Department of Labor and the
United States Department of Labor,
and is signed by both Commissioner
of Labor Forrest II. Shuford and
, Secretary of Labor Maurice J.
Tobin. The other award presented
by the State Labor Department
only, is for plants having fewer
| than 50 employees and is signed
by the Commissioner of Labor.
, The Labor Department's safety
| awards program is one phase of
I the Industrial Manpower Conserva
| lion Program through which the
j Department assisted by a 25-man
advisory board of safety experts
I from leading industries, is work
ing to reduce the accident fre
1 quencv rates of all North Carolina
industries, Mr. King said. More
I than 400 North Carolina firms
, were awarded the Safety Achieve
ment Certificate lxst year.
f
Red Cross Aided
In 1948 Polio
Epidemic In State
By JACK ENGLISH
CHAPEL HILL ? Phillip S
Randolph, prominent Chapel Hill ;
resident and known throughout
the state for his work as North
Carolina epidemic eo-ordinator for 1
the National Foundation for In- j
fantile Paralysis, today issued a
statement of gratitude to the i
American lied Cross for the i
organization's work during the j
state epidemic and the program j
now being carried out in the
convalescent period
Said Rand >lph: "I should like
to express nr. appreciation for the
many services supplied to polio
hospitals and patients by chapters
of the Red Cross and by the
Southeastern Area office of ARC
during and following the North
Carolina polio epidemic of 1948
"It was always comforting to me
to know that these services were '
available whenever and wherever j
they were needed. No statement
that I could make would sufficient- ?
ly express my gratitude to this '
great organization, for without the j
Red Cross aid during 1948 the j
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis would have had to fight
an overwhelming battle in North
Carolina."
Randolph wont on to point out
lhat in Orange County the local
Hocl Cross chapter had supplied
through its sewing room, many of
the isolation gowns worn by the
polio purses and hospital workers. '
The Orange County Chapter, said
Randolph volunteered to trans- [
port polio victims in the county to ;
;?nd from treatment centers. This !
work is still being carried on.
In 1944 he related, the founda
tion and the American Red Cross
entered into an agreement where
by the Red Cross was to recruit
volunteer nurses during polio
c demies. This same year in
>r*h Carolina, the Red Cross
cruited over 1 ^0 nurses from
all over the L'n. :1 States to aid
in the epidemic then raging.
"Without this service." stated
Randolph, "it would have been
impossible to give medical treat
ment to all of the polio victims.
This past year the Red Cross sent
over 700 nurses into our stricken
tate. and without this tremendous
help the epidemic could never
have been properly handled "
