Du Pont
, Wins
Award
A. B. Morrison, plant manager
of the Du Pont company’s Bre
vard plant, announced the win
ning of the Board of Directors’
Safety Award on October 13,
1962.
This award is in recognition
of the Brevard Plant having op
erated 1,950 days and more
than 2,500,000 exposure hours
since plant start-up in 1958
without a disabling or time-los
ing injury.
The Du Pont company estab
lished its “award for no-injury
plan” in 1931. Under this plan,
company units are eligible for
awards when they complete cer
tain specified time intervals
with injury - free records. This
is the third consecutive award
since plant start - up that the
Brevard Plant has achieved, Mr.
Morrison states.
The Du Pont company has
^ng been interested in indus
trial safety and the protection of
the individual. As a result of
this emphasis over the years,
Du Pont employees find they
are much safer at work than at
home - 12 times safer as a mat
ter of fact.
Du Pont employees also are
in a favorable position at work
compared to industry as a
whole. In 1961, Du Pont em
ployees experienced 0.34 dis
abling injuries per million ex
posure hours, which is 18 times
better than the industrial aver
age.
Mr. Morrison congratulated
all employees on their achieve
ment and informed them that
they would each receive an
award in recognition of having
won the Board of Directors’
an dtheir wives are invited to
Safety Award.
