Plant management aty' yttploy
years ago.
Lydia's first 0.00 record came
in 19SO. Clinton Plan's Mo. '
and .Vo. 2 followed s in !(,'rP;

"What", vou mav as';, "does
.'.Vs'-ti.Tt' frequency r * rr t-. .**"1"
It is defined as: 'he number of
lost-time injuries occering durinp,
a million hours o! oner.t'ion.
Thus in the /oro /ri'i/'iou v years,
not a single day's woi'i was lost
ilue to an on-tho-oh injury.
The South Carolina Textile Industry
is a national leader in
industrial accident prevention.
Our state's text tie plants average
frequency ra'e is well he low the
national average of tcv'i'.e companies
reporting 'o the National
Safety Council. doomr
averse frequency rate is considerably
below the State's
record average.
Much of our progress and improvement
is attributable *o excellent
plant-keeping in mode-u,
well lighted, air conditioned
plants. The major tac'or, however,
Iras been the wltolehe.tr'ec!
support and cooperation of all
employees with members of mat!
agement in the accident prevention
program. Management has
on. many occasions expressed its
appreciation tor the outstanding
safety achievements o' emp!u\ ..
l?h(t could have been a "zero

been followed without excent
