U. c. u. cf1 ANNUAL REPORT SAFETY DEPARTMENT 1965"1966 INDUSTRIES 103^8 < FOREWORD It has been the custom, for a number of .years, for the Safety and Plant Protection Section to publish an annual report. Such a report was not pub lished for 1965's experience. This report will therefore cover statistical data and various activities of the Section for 1965 and 1966. This report Includes 55 reporting units for 1965; 5^ reporting units for 1966, and for both years: All Corporation plants; Standard Chemical Corpora tion, Beauharnois Plant; Houston Chemical Corporation, Beaumont Plant; and certain Warehouses and Sales groups of the Coatings and Resins Division. The Pittsburgh Corning Corporation includes four reporting units for both 1965 and 1966. The statistical data for these units is not included in the Corporate statistics, but is shown separately. The format for this report has been changed somewhat from previous annual reports. Your comments with respect to these changes as well as the report itself are most welcome. CORPORATE SUMMARY FREQUENCY RATE: 19&5 -2-5 1966 - 2.2 This rate reflects the number of disabling injuries per million manhours exposure computed on the basis of the United States of America Standards Institute formula: Frequency Rate = Disabling Injuries x 1,000,000 Manhours Worked The 1966 corporate frequency of 2.2 establishes a new all-time low for the Corporation. SEVERITY RATE: 1965 - 390 1966 - 504 This rate reflects the number of days lost per million manhours exposure computed on the basis of the United States of America Standards Institute formula: Severity Rate = Ipet x 1^000,000 Manhours Worked It is alarming that our Severity Rate has been steadily increasing since 1964, the year in which our corporate low of 331 was established. In 1965 fourteen serious injuries occurred, 2 fatalities are included in this figure. In 1966 fifteen serious injuries occurred, 3 fatalities are included in this figure. The remaining cases, in both years, involved the loss of fingers or parts of fingers. 1965 Works #9 Barberton Fatalities 1966 Works #9 Works #11 Works #26 Finger(s) 1965 Works #1 Works #9 Works #11 Works #12 Works #26 Works #50 Glass Research Natrium Corpus Christ!

This award was received in 1965 based on 1969's safety performance. The award was also earned for 1965's safety performance, and was presented in i960. Due to the high severity rate in 1966, the Corporation does not qualify for an award based on the i960 safety performance. Corporate Thirteen plants completed 1965 without a disabling injury. The same number, in 1966, attained this distinction. As a result, these plants earned the Company's Award of Honor. These plants are as follows: 1965 1966 Lake Charles Beaumont Zanesville Works #3 Works #6 Works #25 Gas Dept. Milwaukee Newark Ditzler East Point Delaware San Francisco Corpus Christi Beaumont Zanesville Bartlett Works #6 Works #15 Gas Dept. Glass Research Milwaukee Red Wing Delaware San Francisco C/R Research In 1965, five plants earned the Company's Award of Merit for a "significant safety accomplishment." Nine plants earned this award in 1966. -3 9^ The former basis for this award, which was merely a frequency record better than the corporate average, was changed in 19&5- The award is now made to those plants who have not attained a perfect record but have made a signifi cant safety accomplishment. This change has reduced the number of plants earning this award and as a result the award should be more coveted in the future. Plants earning this award are: 196d 1966 Works #1 Works #12 Works #26 Natrium Cleveland Barberton Beauharnois Works #7 Works #10 Works #12 Works #1^ Works #52 Springdale Houston ANALYSIS Several comments are in order with respect to the "Cause & Classification" chart shown in this report. "Objects" dropped from the leading cause of dis abling injuries in 1965 to third place in 1966, whereas "Caught Between" moved from third place in 1965 to first place in 1966. "Strains & Sprains" remained in second place both years. "Glass" in fourth place in 1965 dropped to fifth place in 1966, whereas "Falls" moved from fifth in 1965 to fourth place in 1966. These five classifications represented approximately 85# of the dis abling injuries in 1965 and 86# of the disabling injuries in 1966. All efforts, i.e., better training and job safety instruction, improved guarding and more adequate safety orientation, should aid substantially in reducing future dis abling injuries in these classifications. The summary charts dealing with the age of those sustaining disabling injuries in 1965 and 1966 and their length of service, prove once again that neither age nor experience is a deterrent to getting injured. Of special note, how ever, is the fact that in 1965 those sustaining disabling injuries with 2 years or less of service represented 26# of the total cases, whereas in 1966 this group accounted for 37# of the cases. A complete review and intensification of our new employee safety orientation, safety job training and job instruc tion is clearly indicated by this statistic. -k- SL 103742 AUDITS Audits of Safety, Fire Protection, Plant Protection and Disaster Control Programs were conducted at the following locations: 1965 1966 Works #3 Works #10 Works #52 Springdale Cleveland Beaumont Corpus Christ! Sedalia Works #1 Works #10 Works #11 Works #12 Works #lb Works #26 Works #50 Works #52 Toward the end of 1965 the audit format was revised appreciably. The new format was used for one of the audits conducted in 1965 and for those subse quently conducted in 1966. This change in format has resulted in a more complete and consistent audit. DIVISIONAL SAFETY CONFERENCES 1965 A Glass Division Safety Conference was held at Works #1 and Works #3, Creighton, Pennsylvania. This conference was attended by representatives from all plate and building products plants. The seventh biennial Chemical Division Safety Conference was held at Barberton. This conference was attended by representatives from all Chemical Division plants and in addition representatives also attended from Columbia-Nitrogen, Augusta, Georgia Plant; Houston Chemical Corporation, Beaumont Plant; and Standard Chemical Corporation, Beauharnois Plant. 1966 A Glass Division Safety Conference was held in Columbus, Ohio, with the Mt. Vernon plant serving as host. All Glass and Fiber Glass Division loca tions had representatives in attendance with the exception of Works #15, Fresno, California and Works #27, Tipton, Pennsylvania. Pittsbur^-Corning Corporation had representatives attending from their Port Allegany and Tyler Plants. The first coatings & Resins Division Safety Conference was held at Delaware, Ohio. All of the division's locations (with the exception of East Point, Georgia, and San Francisco, California) had representatives in attendance. TRAINING A number of Company locations, as well as the General Office, experienced changes in Safety personnel in 1965 and 1966. As a result, considerable train ing of Safety personnel has been undertaken in the last two years. 103T43 5 SXj The following locations had one or more persons enrolled in the Basic Funda mentals Safety Training Course sponsored by the National Safety Council and the Western Pennsylvania Safety Council: Works #1 Works #11 Works #12 Works #25 Works #26 Glass Research Works #50 Works #52 Circleville Bloomfield Springdale c/R Research lake Charles General Office In addition, 15 Chemical Plant representatives and l4 Coatings & Resins Plant representatives attended a PPG week at the Ansul Fire School. Twenty-five Glass Plant representatives attended a Glass Division Fire School held at the Armstrong County Fire Training Grounds near Ford City, Pennsylvania. Numerous other training activities were completed for certain individuals such as plant visitations, various conferences, special sessions and programs sponsored by private groups, associations and governmental bodies. COSTS During 1965, direct accidents costs were included in the Monthly Disabling Injury Report. This practice was continued throughout 1966.
