Storage Division Safety Record Gets Recognition


Storage Division Award

A highly coveted Fifth Army Safety Award for one year without a lost time accident went to the Storage Division recently. With more than one half of the total depot strength assigned to the division, the hours of exposure to a possible accident were about equal to all other divisions combined. The record speaks of the extreme safety mindedness of the supervisors and workers of the division. Colonel Paul N. Wickens, Depot Commander, made the presentation to the division. George Hall, Assistant Chief of the division, is shown receiving the award. Looking on, from left to right, are: Jim Rickard, representing the Planning Branch; Odean Olson, Ammunition Branch Chief; Selmar Skaar, Safety Director; Ben Schoch, Labor and Equipment Branch Chief; Claire Alspach, General Foreman of Chemical Branch; Major Blette, Assistant for Suppy; Walter Flammond, Acting Renovation Branch Chief; Jack D. Lee, Administrative Branch Chief; and Geddis Nelson, General Supply Branch Chief.

Storage Division Has Splendid '56 Sick Leave Record

Storage Division personnel are feeling a little "chesty", and deservedly so, because of the commendable showing made by the Division as a result of the statistical study recently completed concerning the use of sick leave for the year 1956.

The records reveal that of the 275 employees 193 or slightly over 70 percent used less sick leave than the Department of the Army's use of an average of 63 hours per employee for 1956.

While the D of A showed a 1956 percentage of 3.03, BHOD Storage Division bested that record by one half percent with a figure of 2.53 percent. The record indicates that 45 employees did not use any sick leave for the year. They are to receive a letter of apprciation from the Commanding Officer, Colonel Don M. Hoffman. The 148 employees who used less that 63 hours are to receive a letter from the Storage Divison Chief, Mr. Gerner A. Olsen.
