Federal-Mogul's Michigan City, Indiana, Facility Celebrates Two Million Hours of Safety Excellence

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 5 Federal-Mogul's Michigan City,
Indiana, wiper products team announces they have completed two million hours
worked without a lost-time accident.  This milestone began in November 1998
and was achieved on April 14, 2000.
    "Each and every member of our team truly understands and values the
importance of a strong safety program," said Michigan City Plant Manager Tim
Dan.  "This tremendous accomplishment is directly attributable to the safety
programs in place and the employees' ability to carry them out."
    The safety excellence this facility has achieved was rewarded last year
when the Michigan City plant won the Federal-Mogul Health and Safety
Leadership Award 'Best of the Year' for 1999.  This is the second time this
facility has achieved two million hours worked without a lost-time accident
milestone in the past four years.
    In addition to these achievements, the Michigan City facility is currently
implementing a Behavior-Based Safety Team and working towards ISO 14001
certification.
    "Our team understands that we must continue the efforts to enhance our
safety performance," said Human Resources Supervisor Jay Rudolph.  "Programs,
such as the Behavior-Based Safety Team increase employee involvement in this
critical area."
