Enjay Rigger William B. Maddoux, right, has become a full-
fledged Turtle Club member after a head injury was prevented
because he was wearing his safety hat at the right time. He was
presented his new hat and certificate by Seth Mitchell, head of
Enjay Mechanical’s Work Execution Department.
Maddoux was working on a tower at the Butadiene Unit when
a six-inch snatch block dropped from 12 feet above, striking him
on the head. The safety hat he was wearing deflected the block,
preventing a possible serious injury to Maddoux.
Is he enjoying his retirement?
