Comments on Statistics--R. T. Hammann Although there were no Recordable Injuries In January, we had our first Recordable Injury on February 1. This occurred to an electri cian who sustained a laceration requiring three stitches. Further information is detailed in Accident Investigation Report No. 83-02. Areas continuing to have high injury rates are: Pumper Gaugers, Painters (although one injury is significant in this small group). 13966 SC STG 2430772 LAM015755 PMSB Meeting Minutes--' Yuary 16, 1983 i Page 2 Dept. 44/45/46, Dept. 50, and Analysts. Of special concern is the Analysts group as they have shown an increasing high injury rate in the last five months. The Electricians are at a higher rate than in the past several years, and had the Recordable Injury in February. Areas showing excellent injury performance are: HCN Complex, Dept. 48/56, Dept. 53, and Dept. 513. The Stores Dept, and Dept. 33 deserve special recognition as neither of these departments have had an injury in the past year. C. Contractor Safety--G. A. Danner One Recordable Injury was reported in January. This occurred to an Opel Pipefitter who fractured the third finger of his right hand when his hand was caught between two pieces of four inch pipe. Further details are found in Accident Report No. C-83-01. Treatment in this case was delayed because the individual was asked if he wanted to see a doctor instead of being taken to see one. Steps are being taken to change this procedure as medical attention should be given promptly. More timely and meaningful investigations can then be carried out. If needed. D. CED Project Safety--B. C. Lancaster No injuries occurred during the small number of hours worked this month. This will probably be the last report from CED as work is winding down toward a cessation of all activities. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--D. E. Kaldenberg A. S&PP Recommendation 82-2 on Emergency Shutdown/Standby Procedures Some confusion existed as to the length of time required for bringing a unit down or placing it in the safest possible condition. Due to this, not all shutdown procedures were prepared as requested. The correct criteria to follow is immediate evacuation of the area with personnel allowed back in the area within one hour. These procedures will be completed and reported in writing to G. A. Danner prior to the next PMSB meeting. Also included in areas needing these shutdown procedures are the laboratories and Material Handling. B. Survey of Low Pressure Steam Header (Boots) MTS proposed a spot inspection of twelve steam boots, leads, and con nections on the ex-battery 75 psi steam header where a failure recently occurred. This represents approximately 10% of the total boots and connections on the header. Dependent on the findings of this inspec tion, more work may be done until all serious corrosion areas are repaired. This approach was approved by PMSB.

Hourly Safety Committee Transition meeting was held between the incoming and outgoing members with eleven of the twelve in attendance. Manuel Perez was elected as the new chairman of this committee. The new members were briefed on the purpose of the Hourly Safety Committee by Mark Riddle. Gene Tromblee reviewed the 1982 plant safety highlights. An old concern about inventory in the phenol hose at Dock 2 was reviewed and satisfactorily resolved. New concerns that arose were: 1. Cooling Tower Fan Hazard - The problem is development of a safe procedure/method for stopping rotation of the fan blade prior to entry into the tower. Charles McClanahan will followup. 2. Safety Log Books - Some concern over the fact that safety items are not always completed in a reasonable amount of time. A memo requesting better followup was written to supervision by Harry Conrad. 3. Removing Bolts From The 51D4 Manway Covers - This incident brought up the practice of removing manways from equipment that has not been completely blinded. SHAC will make a canvas to determine how wide spread this practice is in the plant. This information will then be given to SAC for review to determine an overall plant policy. B. Eyebath/Safety Shower A drawing of the new plant standard has been issued for final approval. C. Quarterly Inspections Bill Howe reviewed the plans for implementing the Competitive Quar terly Safety & Housekeeping Inspection in March. These inspections will be carried out the final two weeks of the month. Publicity will begin before the end of February. D. Procedure Bulletins Three bulletins that have undergone minor revisions in policy have been approved and will be issued in the near future. These bulletins are: P-0116, Area Safety Inspections; P-0121, Use and Control of Hoses; and P-0123, Bypassing and Testing Protective Devices. Only the page containing the policy revision will be issued. SC 13968 STG 2430774 LAM015757 ") PMSB Meeting Minutes--February 16, 1983 Page 4 IV. GENERAL PERMIT PROCEDURE--R. T. Hammann Final revisions have been made and approval signatures are being obtained. Training sessions and implementation of the procedure will be delayed until permits can be printed. V. FIRE AND ENTRY PERMIT PROCEDURE--R. T. Hammann We are checking with the printers as the permitB should have been received by now. As soon as the permits are received, training on this procedure with emphasis on the changes will take place. Tom Ryan asked for a delay in Issuing this procedure until he can discuss the section on special permits with Gene Tromblee. REVIEW OF INCIDENTS Monsanto Incidents Date Incident No. Description 01/21/83 83-01 (not issued--has been signed and will be issued in the near future) Spill--Dept. 13; flange leak on top of alkylator; spill of HC1 and Bz vapors; NO EXPOSURES. (Furley) 02/01/83 83-02 (issued) Recordable Injury--Dept. 53; Electrician caught second finger of left hand in swab of drill requiring three stitches to close. (McVay) NOTE: This is the second Recordable Injury of the same type (broken bone due to failure to unplug equipment while working on it) that has occurred in the plant in the last 4-5 months. Steps should be taken to convey this to all personnel in the plant. Contractor Incidents Date Incident No. 01/05/83 C-83-01 (Issued) Recordable Injury--Dept. 13; Opel Pipefitter caught fingers between pipe; broken third finger of right hand. (Spencer) VII. STATUS OF S-T-O-P PROGRAM--M. A. Riddle The second group of Chiefs/Leadmen has gone through the first unit of S-T-O-P training. More discussion took place with the second group as it SC 13969 STG 2430775 LAM015758 PMSB Meeting Minutes--: Vuary 16, 1983 Page 5 is apparently being discussed in the plant between hourly personnel. A question was asked whether they would be required to fill out cards. This has not been decided as yet. Although taking of the test is on a voluntary basis, most of the individuals involved in the training are taking it. VIII. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS--S. G. Pappas for G. L. Tromblee Our injury record so far this year is very good. However, we need to take steps to ensure that we do not become complacent. Bnphasis should remain on preventing unsafe acts in order to keep our record at this good level. Attachments RTH/es R. T.
