R WINS RECORD

Alaska Pine
Gives Safety
Top Priority

Gordon River operation of the
Alaska Pine and Cellulose Com-
pany Ltd. have, in four years, re-
duced their accident frequency
rate from 116.2% to 11.00%, and
the severity rate from 3.1% to
01%.

This excellent record was made
possible through the exceptional
safety interest taken by em-
ployees and management alike. A
great deal of. the credit, too,
should be given the Camp’s
Safety Committee for arranging
the safety meetings and seeing
that the safety program was car-
ried out. -

Also helpful to the safety drive
is the following Alaska Pine and
Cellulose safety policy, signed by
the Company’s president and sent
to every one of their operations:

It Is the policy of Alaska Pine
and Cellulose Limited that the
safety of his employee shall be
the supervisor's and the man-
ager's No. 1 responsibility —
ahead of production, .maintén-
ance, quality of product, cost,
or any other phases of his re-
sponsibility.

Not only Is it most important
from a production and efficiency
angle—it Is our moral responsi-
bility, to each and every em-
ployee, and his family, to assure
them the protection of an active '
and productive safety program.
