Over several months' time we have been unsuccessful in getting it removed or blanked off at floor level. >T Questions the decision of the Loss Prevention 6 Safety Department Hygiene Section on the hazards of being exposed to teflon fumes when back-welding where teflon tape has been used. Why are shift fitters required to wear masks when disconnecting benzene barges, while at the same time Material Handling employees, who have the same exposure, are not required to wear respirators or masks. Meed some type of HCM alarm in Department 51 that can be heard, and everyone in the area should know what the alarm sounds like. Recent incident in Department 51, and contract workers' lunches were thrown away. The next day lunches were being brought in again py contract employees and also being brought in to Departments 19, 25, 27 and 29 operating units. A decision should be made as to whether there is any hazard to lunches or not. 12738 SC LAM013933 HOURLY SAFETY COMMITTEE MEET I NG OCTOBER 25. 1977 SC 12739 jiW PRESENT: R. S.
