REPORT OF SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC) -- McCullough A.

Hendrick has been attempting to complete the revision of P-0415, Vacuum Truck Services. The subject yet to be resolved is assignment of responsibility. Analysis of this responsibility breaks down into three logical areas. They are: 1. Administrative Responsibility a. Vacuum truck coordination and planning b. Cost control and reduction c. Vacuum truck equipment testing and maintenance d. Resolution of complaints e. Safety and orientation training f. Out of battery operations 2. Functional responsibility where the vacuum truck is operating within the battery limit for a customer and at his direction. 3. Dispatching or scheduling vacuum trucks. SAC makes the following recommendations: 1. Responsibility for dispatching continue to be handled by Zone 1 maintenance. 2. Functional responsibility be squarely defined to the user with re-emphasis through procedure. 3. Administrative responsibility be assigned to either a full time contractor supervisor or a Monsanto supervisor. C. Housekeeping Inspection SAC recommends that these areas be eliminated from the housekeeping inspection tour: 1. All construction areas 2. EMA 3. LDPE Dismantling 4. Dept. 24 SC 14209 4.
