McClellan Chairman t SC 17754 LAM026009 CRITIQUE OF 1981 ANNUAL SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING INSPECTION A. DATE OF INSPECTION 1. Get the date of the inspection established as early as possible. 2. It will be of help if the plant manager, the plant engineer, and the safety superintendent are in the plant the two weeks prior to the inspection--as well as for the inspection. 3. The schedule should avoid major shutdowns or startups. 4. The 1981 committee found the cooler October weather more pleasant for the inspectors. 5. Try to avoid other major activities such as the United Fund. This occurred in 1981 and was a problem for publicity. B. PRE-INSPECTIONS 1. The quarterly guest housekeeping inspections were scheduled approxi mately four weeks prior to the Annual Inspection. a. All of the inspections were completed in one week. b. The committee found these inspections to be too late to get many of the signs updated. This effort should start at least two months prior to the Annual Inspection. c. A checklist was used on these inspections and included such items as carseals on valves, lockout procedures, etc. (Exhibit I). d. The request for ladder inspections should be issued at least two weeks before this inspection (Exhibit II). The 1981 SHAC committee believe this inspection should be completed in one week. Ladders tend to travel from unit to unit and unless the inspections are scheduled^together some will be missed. It's a good idea for the units to check the ladders again the week before the Annual Inspection. 2. The SHAC Committee made a drive around inspection of the plant approximately three weeks before the Annual Inspection and two days before an expanded staff meeting. Slides were made, developed in Houston on a one-day basis (Ecktachrome), and shown at the expanded staff meeting. The'plant manager spoke at this meeting. The staff was told most of the details of the inspection and presented with checklists to be used. 3. Next, the plant manager made a drive around inspection with SHAC representatives. His comments were published for the expanded staff. SC 17755 LAM026010 Critique of 1981 Annual Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Page -2- 4. Soon after this, the SHAC Committee made another drive around/slide preparation. These slides were shown at a second expanded staff meeting approximately one week before the inspection. 5. The plant manager made another drive around inspection with SHAC representatives. His comments were published to his staff. 6. The final inspection was made Friday before the Annual Inspection was to start the following Tuesday. This inspection was a drive around inspection by the general superintendents--each accompanied by two SHAC members in a car. A short wrap-up staff meeting was held after this inspection. C. PERSONNEL INVOLVEMENT 1. It is most important that as many plant personnel as feasible be used in preparing for the Annual Inspection. a. Be sure contact supervisors and Hourly Safety Committee members are used on the guest inspection teams. t b. Units being inspected should use members of their unit/ craft safety teams to host the guest inspectors. D. PREVIOUS YEAR INSPECTION FOLLOW-UP 1. The PMSB, SAC, and SHAC should start early to resolve the previous Annual Inspection's recommendations. Based on past comments and our experience in 1981, this seems to always be a problem. The inspection team will always check on this. E. INSPECTION PUBLICITY 1. Publicity for the 1981 Annual Inspection was minimal. This was not intended, but was an error in judgment of plant capability. The United Fund was scheduled at the time the Annual Inspection publicity was needed. The 1981 SHAC Committee recommends that publicity be started early an< build up to the inspection day. 2. The previous year the Office Safety Committee was delegated the responsibility of publicity for the inspection. They chose an eye-catching bulletin board campaign that led up to the inspection day. If possible, the other safety committees should also be involved in this. 3. Publicity for the 1981 Annual Inspection was also obtained through the pre-inspections, staff meetings and slide shows outlined in "B". The plant manager spoke at both staff meetings. 4. Letters from the plant manager were sent to the employees' homes informing them of the coming inspection. These letters were mailed about one week prior to the inspection. SC 17756 LAM026011 Critique of 1981 Annual Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Page -3- 5. The expanded staff and the safety contact supervisors were sent copies of the "1981 MCI Plant Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Guidelines" (Exhibit III). 6. A sign near the Main Gate emphasized the START program. 7. An edition of the Plant News Letter was published. This edition contained pictures and biographical data for each of the inspectors (Exhibit IV). This information, along with two photographs (nonPolaroid) should be obtained from the inspectors very early. At this time, also obtain coat, trouser, and shoe sizes for rain gear. F. ANNUAL INSPECTION 1. Opening Activities - The night before the inspection the team was met by the plant manager, the SAC chairman, the LP&S superintendent, and the SHAC chairman for dinner. Presentations were made by the plant manager and the LP&S superintendent. This schedule depends on the time the inspection team has available to prepare for the next day's inspection. The 1981 team arrived early and met before the plant group arrived. 2. The first day of the inspection the team met for a short coffeesweet roll informal meeting with the plant manager's staff, the SHAC committee, and the chairmen of the various safety organizations. This was followed by presentations as shown on the first page of Exhibit V. 3. Route - The route shown by Exhibit V worked well for the 1981 inspection. Each year the route should be re-examined on the basis of what area should be used to make the first impression and what should be the last impression on the inspectors before the plant is rated. 4. Schedule - The schedule shown in Exhibit V was also considered to be good. It was not difficult to keep the inspectors on schedule. On the last day the inspectors were split into two groups for inspection of the Office Building, Laboratories, etc. All were routed to visit the fire station. This was done to meet a plane schedule. 5. Tour Presentations - The presentations made by the Hourly Safety Committee, the Office Safety Committee, and the PT Safety Com mittee at the rest/coffee breaks were considered to be a good idea. One note of caution--practice any presentations to be given at the breaks and be sure they meet the schedule. 6. Tour Guides - Guides who host the inspection teams at each unit should be prepared and have a message. Involved discussions about the process should be discouraged. Use hourly personnel where possible. Guides should have a pre-planned route, but should be flexible to the inspector's desires. Every person in the units should have a name tag, listing occupation, the day the unit is inspected. It should be emphasized to the units to minimize the number of changes in guides after the names have been given to SHAC. SC 17757 LAM026012 Critique of 1981 Annual Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Page -4- 7. Hosts - Each inspector was hosted by a SHAC member. Hosts were rotated at noon each day. The plant manager, general superin tendents and LP&S superintendent were not a part of the inspection team. The plant manager "free-lanced" but was with the inspection teams throughout the inspection. General superintendents met the teams at each area of responsibility. The LP&S superintendent was left free to secure information, data, and procedures as needed by the inspectors. 8. Transportation During Inspection - Inspectors and SHAC hosts rode in plant pool cars when possible. After the inspection route and schedule was established, a dry run was made to determine parking places, cars needed, and guide meeting places. This proved very beneficial. SHAC members not being used as hosts assumed responsi bility for moving the cars. 9. Information Packets - Each inspector was presented an information packet containing the following items: --Monsanto vinyl attache case with name embossed. --Black vinyl Monsanto clipboard. --Monsanto pen and pencil set. --Monsanto Guide to Accident Prevention booklet. --Contractor Guide to Accident Prevention. --Emergency Procedure and Fire/Spill Alarm card. --Battery limits piping color code chart. --Names and phone numbers of SHAC members. --Miscellaneous literature of Texas City Plant. --Small pocket notebook. --Road maps of the area. 10. Personal Needs - Each inspector was supplied with a hard hat, safety glasses, ear plugs, and cover'goggles. Rain gear (suits and boots) were obtained and kept in the cars. Names were pre printed on the hard hats. Name tags and temporary badges were also provided. 11. Entertainroent/Meals a. As mentioned earlier, the plant manager, the SAC chairman, the LP&S superintendent, and the SHAC chairman, met the in spectors the first night for dinner and a short presentation. This dinner was held in the Hotel Galvez, where arrangements had been made for the inspectors to stay. SC 17758 LAM026013 Critique of 1981 Annual Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Page -5- b. On the evening of the first day of the inspection a catered barbeque was held at Seawolf Park. A juke box was rented for $100 and served well. The expanded staff and all the formal safety groups were invited to meet the inspectors. Exhibit VI gives information about the arrangements and Exhibit III should serve as a reminder of arrangements needed to allow shift workers to attend. c. On the evening of the second day the inspectors dined un accompanied. This entire evening was free for the inspectors to utilize the time to start wrap-up work. It is suggested that dinner arrangements be made near the inspectors hotel but with sufficient freedom that the inspectors earn make changes. d. On the evening of the third day all the inspectors had returned home. e. Lunch arrangements were made as follows: --The first day tray lunches in the cafeteria conference room. The guests were SHAC members, plant manager, SAC members, and five members from the PMSB. Before invitations and meal tickets are sent, be careful not to overfill the cafeteria conference room on either day. --The second day was also a tray lunch in the cafeteria conference room. The guests were the remainder of the PMSB, HSC chairman, PTSC chairman, OSC chairman, ASC chairman, and the plant manager. --The third day the inspectors held a work session in the cafeteria conference room prior to lunch. They were served a seafood platter. This was a working lunch and no guests were invited. f. Breakfast Arrangements - Because of the distance to be traveled SHAC (two members) had breakfast with the inspectors only on the first day. This is considered to be a mistake. It is recommended that two SHAC members have breakfast with the inspectors every morning and escort them to the plant. g. Other - SHAC should escort the inspectors if there is any doubt that they could have trouble finding their way. This includes meeting them at the airport, etc. Make life easy for the inspectors. They will work hard while they are here. h. Unless otherwise directed by the inspection instructions, SHAC should arrange to pay for the inspectors meals. Normally the inspectors are directed to pay for their rooms. If SHAC has arranged for a work room, SHAC should be sure this bill does not go to the inspectors. SHAC arranged for an inter connecting room with table and chairs to the chairman's room in 1981. The inspectors considered this a big help on the last night. SC 17759 LAM026014 Critique of 1981 Annual Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Page -6- i. The 1981 inspection team made a summary report to the ex panded staff in the Research Conference Room immediately before leaving the plant. This took approximately one hour. G. MISCELLANEOUS Inspection Brochure - Ken Oden assumed the responsibility for pre paring this brochure. Guest Inspections - Ken Bretz was responsible for organizing the guest inspections across the year. Annual Inspection Tour Route and Schedule - Jim Gatewood assumed this responsibility. J. J.
