Evolving Practices in Safety, Paper360º March/April 2024

The first paper mill I visited was Garden State Paper in Garfield, NJ, in 1975. I still had two years of engineering school ahead of me. The mill was modern for its time and made 100 percent recycled newsprint with a proprietary deink process. I wore a tie, khakis, and dress shoes while being toured around from the basement to the mezzanine. Yes, mill visitors and many vendors wore ties.

My mill dress code has evolved since then, mostly due to changes in mill safety requirements and the work I was doing. Performing vacuum-dewatering studies required more hands-on work and many opportunities to get dirty ... or hurt. I didn’t begin wearing jeans in a mill until 20 years ago.
