The present record is 299 days a and an all-out effort is being made by everyone to better this. A letter from the Manger of the Ontario Pulp and Paper Makers' Safety Association, which is reproduced below, is an indication of the widespread interest be- ing shown in our efforts to set a new safety record. This can be done by working through August 29th without a disabling injury--and with everyone's co- operation, it will be done. Safety Window at Terrace Bay Mill A THE ONTARIO PULP & PAPER MAKERS' EM. 3-4725 July 26, 1963 ee 8oO@ AWAREOUR SAT REE TF _ @ RBORONTO: ¥2 ONTARIO ROSS E. SCOTT MANAGER To: All Employees, Kimberly-Clark Pulp and Paper Company Limited, Terrace Bay, Ontario. Ladies and Gentlemen: In reviewing our records we find that the Terrace Bay Mill has operated completely free of disabling injuries since November 2, 1962, a period of almost nine consecutive months. This is a very impressive achievement inasmuch as over 900,000 man-hours of exposure were involved. In our list of noteworthy safety performances we list your mill as having completed more than a million man-hours, with a zero frequency, during 1958 and 1959. As your current im- pressive record approaches the million mark hour undoubtedly there is quiet determination on the part of everyone to exceed the 1,094,407 hours of exposure attained previously. The directors and staff of your Association wish you every success in reaching your objective. In fact it would be a significant milestone in the history of the pulp and paper industry if the Terrace Bay Mill was to attain the two million hour plateau, as this has never been accomplished up to this date in Ontario. Establishing an injury=free run of this duration is certainly indicative that every employee has accepted a full share of responsibility for the safety of himself and his fellow workers, and is deserving of the highest praise for the collective effort which has brought about such gratify- ing results. Coupled with this thought is the fact that no company takes pride in a record, just for the record's sake; but rather to rejoice that all employees have been free from the terrible conse- quences of a serious injury. | On behalf of our directors and staff may | extend sincere congratulations to every- one of you on the attainment of such a fine record. It is our sincere wish that your run of injury-free days will continue to grow and become even more impressive in the months ahead. Good luck! and safe operations. Sincerely yours, Manager
