Therefore they are preventable. A hiph percentage of industrial injuries are due to ''human error." That is. they are caused by people?something they do or something they fail to do. Some common causes of accidents are: ? v^nance-iaKing wnen wo know we shouldn't. ?Failure to follow instructions. ?Failure to heed warning signs. ?Lack of job knowledge or skill. ?Failure to recognize danger. ?Violation of safety rules. ?Lack of attention or "day dreaming." Most of us are guilty of some of these slips at one time or another. We don't intend to invite injury: the disregard of our safety is due to thoughtlessness. The Company goes to great lengths, both in effort and expense, to provide for the safety of all its employees. In the selection of new pmnlnv. . * - ?, .* ccs. efforts are made to secure persons who are emotionally stable, physically and mentally alert and who gave good coordination and responses. All of these factors have a bearing on their ability to work safely in the mills. When an employee is first placed on a job, he is trained to do the job the safe way. He is instructed in the rules established by the Company for the safety of employees. V ^ FEBRUAI CLINTON Tracy A. Caughman?Spinning ( Sarah F. Bond?Weaving 1 Donald R. Melton?Weaving 1 Mary C.

Through the years the Company has maintained a comprehensive safety program. This includes many phases of safety education as well as machine guarding, furnishing protective equipment, orderly housekeeping, regular inspections and a good plant safety follow-up to correct any conditions or acts found to be unsafe. Even with all this effort directed toward employee safety, an individual will sometimes take chances and thus expose himself to injury. When this happens there is not much anyone else can do about it. This means that, generally, each of us has the final control over his own safety. To be effective in preventing injuries, we must consider safety in everything we do? on the job. at home, or driving the car. When we develop such safety consciousness we are able to avoid accidents and the suffering and hardship of injuries which, in many instances, need never occu r.
