ANNUAL REPORT SAFETY DEPARTMENT 1960 PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY SL IO4125 annual report 19 6 0 SAFETY DEPARTMENT - PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA FEBRUARY, 1961 SL 104126 THIS REPORT COVERS THE FOLLOWING; PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY PLANTS - UNITED STATES COLUMBIA-SOUTHERN CHEMICAL CORPORATION PLANTS PITTSBURGH-CORNING CORPORATION PLANTS FIFTY-ONE INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT AND THEIR RECORDS ARE FOR THE FULL CALENDAR YEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BARRELED SUNLIGHT PLANT AT PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, WHICH CLOSED IN SEPTEMBER I960, YEARLY RECORD FREQUENCY RATE - h.7 (Number of disabling injuries per million hours exposure) SEVERITY RATE - U8U (Number of days lost per million hours exposure) COMPARISON OF COMPANY RECORD FOR THE YEAR I960 WITH 1959: 2% DECREASE IN HOURS WORKED 6% DECREASE IN FREQUENCY RATE OF INJURIES 38% INCREASE IN SEVERITY RATE THE INTEREST, COOPERATION AND EFFORTS OF ALL UNITS OF THE COMPANY ARE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED. SL 104127 FREQUENCY Based on the formula of Number of Disabling Injuries, X_L,000^000 Manhours Worked The Company frequency of lu7 was 6 percent under the previous year, for the second consecutive time. All divisions except Paint and Coal showed decreases for I960 compared with 1959. Paint increased 77 percent and Coal increased 29 percent. COMPANY AWARDS HONOR Nine industrial units completed I960 without a disabling injury. Two less than 1959 and three less than 1958. However, our congratulations go out to the nine honor plants and their "Certificates of Honor" will be forwarded, Portland Faint Plant - Eighth Consecutive Year Ditzler Color Division - Third Consecutive Year Creighton Coalworks - Second Consecutive Year Red Wing Linseed Oil Plant - Second Consecutive Year Works No. a. Ford City - Year I960 Works No, 19, Kokomo - Year I960 Bartlett Plant - Year I960 Beauharnois Plant - Year I960 Zanesville Cement Flant - Year I960 MERIT Twenty plants had disabling injury frequencies under the Company rate of U.7. That is one more unit than in 1959. The Company's "Certificates of Merit" are being sent to the following: Works No, 1, Creighton Works No, 3, Creighton Works No, U, Ford City Works No. 7, Cumberland Works No, 9, Ciystal City Works No, 25, Greensburg Works No. 26, Crestline Works No. 50, Shelbyville Port Allegany Barberton Limestone Mine Barberton Plant Corpus Christi Plant Forbes Finishes Division Houston Paint Plant Jersey City Plant Lake Charles Plant Milwaukee Paint Plant Natrium Plant Paint and Birush Research Center Baltimore Brush Plant This is the third consecutive year the list has increased. May the number continue to grow. SEVERITY Based on the formula of Days Lost X 1,000,000 Manhours Worked Severity was not good in I960, The rate of L8L is an increase of 38 percent over 1959. Glass was the only division that increased its severity over 1959 -2- SL 104128 and was directly responsible for the Company increase. All the other divi sions improved in severity over the previous year's rates Eight injuries, three less than 1959, resulted in a fatal, a permanent total case and six permanent partial injuries. A permanent total at Works No, 6 and the fatal case at the Research project at Cumberland accounted for 6,000 days each. The six permanent partial'cases included an eye, three fin ger and two toe cases, and accounted for 2,525 days of the lh.,525 day total. The days were charged according to the time charges listed in the American Standards Association Code ZI6.1 ANALYSES The 219 disabling cases in I960 followed much the same pattern as 1959 except "Objects'* heads the list with 26 percent of the injuries instead of "Strains and Sprains", whicn had 20 percent for second place. Falls jumped from fifth place in 1959 to third in I960. Glass injuries remained in fourth place but with a lower percentage at thirteen. There is much work still to be done to educate employees that back pain is not necessarily a back injury. Too, better work planning and proper climb ing equipment would make inroads on the first place "Objects" and the third place "Falls", respectively. The "Age Group" reveals some interesting comparisons. For the second year, we have shown the number of employees in each age bracket compared with their injuries. It suggests that men in the 31 to 60 years of age group war rant close supervision in the detection of unsafe acts and "short cut" work habits. The "Length of Service" chart fully supports the above. It also empha sizes that the oeriod of service from six to thirty years rolled up 57 percent of our injuries. Are we being complacent and taking for granted that the worker who is older in service is safe? That would appear to be the case. We must never forget to train and orient the new worker, but closer ob servation of the established worker is essential, too. FHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAM The Welfare Board's Physical Fitness Policy is being followed to good ad vantage in most plants. A survey of the manner in which the plants have con formed since the policy was announced in 195U has been conducted in I960 for the Welfare Board, More will be heard about it later when the results are summarized. Employees exposed to hazardous dusts have teen protected and not one new silicosis or asbestosis case has been reported. The McIntyre Research aluminum oxide treatment for si^icotics is still being used for a few cases at Works No. 1 and No, u. Those exposed to toxic dust are x-rayed at least annually. We are still retaining Dr, Carey P, McCord, a nationally known expert in in dustrial hygiene, as a consultant. Physical examinations of all employees exposed to toxic chemicals in the Paint and Chemical plants ar? being faithfully carried out. However, plants SL 104129 must always be alert to the toxic properties cf new chemicals and take pre cautionary measures to protect the employees exposed. INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE Our membership in the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of Mellon Institute continues to be a great help. In addition he vie literature we receive, the annual meeting is most informative. Ve are constantly seeking their advice by mail and telephone and, in addition,, rave usea their Industrial Hygiene ser vices at Works No, 10, Works No, H and Works No. 1 in I960, Studies of that kind tell us where improvement Is necessary ana provide records to refute unfair claims. One of their surveys uncovered large quantities of sulphur dioxide gas which was rusting roof beams and possibly attacking valuable con trol equipment in an instrument room. The condition was corrected. FIRE PREVENTION Preliminary reports from the Insurance Department indicate there were no costly major fires in the plants in I960. Our locations are all vulnerable to a degree and we must be ever vigilant. Welding and electrical fires lead in the nation and we would do well to control them. Checking plant fire protection equipment is a continuing necessity. Fire brigade drills and fire and housekeeping inspections continue in nearly all plants. Plant managements are very alert in encouraging these activities. DISASTER CONTROL PROGRAMS More plants having such programs are being added to the list. We now have three plants which are members of their local industrial Mutual Aid programs. Glass and paint plants are now favorably viewing such programs. The Chemical Division leads the Company in the highest percentage of its plants with Dis aster Control programs. SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM We are very pleased to report that our vehicle accident experience in I960 was quite under the expectations of cur insurance carrier. Our bulk monthly mailing of 5,000 safe driving pampniets continues. Recently, our insurance carrier has offered safety engineering service through field engineers, in person, to all plant and warehouse locations. Early reports indicate a large number of our units is accepting tnis service and we expect a better vehicle accident experience in 1961, SAFETY FI IMS AND SAFSTYGRAFHS This service continues tc be popular. Our library is up to date and our catalog is free for the asking. Feel free to consult us for suitable films at any time. When the films are available, they will be promptly mailed to you. Remember to ask for an alternate title and we will appreciate the prompt return of films in oraer to satisfy other requests. .u- SL 104130 SAFETY TRAINING Nineteen plants have now used our "Developing Safety Expertness" program among their supervisors. For the most; part, they nave used it to good advant age, Most of the Chemical Division plants have had it and we have reason to believe the program has had some effect on the reduced frequency and severity in this division during I960, The program is available to any plant of the Company. Another program is now ready, called "The Key to Safety", The program is of an hour duration and is designed for developing individual responsibility among the hourly workers. Write in for samples of the script and the mirror device which goes with the program. The visual aids can be furnished at very low cost. THE GOALS FOR 1961 Although we made gains in frequency in I960, we are not proud of our se verity and not satisfied with either. Nine fewer disabling injuries in I960 would have met our all time low year in frequency, and twelve fewer would have established a new Company record. The coming year offers a real challenge to excel our best year in frequency. Coupled with such a record should be a com parable reduction in severity and having no fatals in 1961 will do that. Our plant audits for safety and plant protection will continue at the ac celerated I960 pace. Where the record warrants more attention or at your re quest, the visits will be increased. Every plant location may have our services at any time and we invite your inquiries. The cooperation for safety by our many locations has been gratifying. Safety effort, at any level, is heartwarming and a self-satisfying endeavor. Keep in mind that such efforts have economic rewards, also. We appeal to you for continued cooperation and invite your requests for our services. lours CCR;cm Attachments Safety and Plant Protection -5- PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY Industrial Injury Report YEAR "I960 FREQUENCY P.
