Today we want to talk to you again about ways to further reduce your exposure to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the raw material we use here in the manufacture of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) plastic resin.
Vinyl chloride monomer became regulated under the Occupational Safety and Health Act in April, 1975. These regulations apply to the manufacture, reaction, trans portation, storage, handling, or use of VCM or PVC.
Because of the technological advances over the last year, these regulations do not apply to the handling or use of products made from PVC, such as Compound, Dry Blend etc.
VCM, stored in these tanks, is a colorless, sweet smelling gas at normal temperatures and a liquid under pressure. It is handled as both in our plant.
You should avoid situations where VCM could be smelled or touched. Liquid VCM could cause your skin to become severely frostbitten.
You are likely to come in contact with VCM only through leaks or spills.

VCM has been labeled as a hazardous material. Breathing in high concentrations can cause dizziness or create a narcotic effect.
VCM has a flash point of minus -108 degrees Farenheit and has explosive limits that make it three times as flammable as gasoline.
VCM releases highly toxic and irritating fumes of hydrogen chloride gas when it burns. In halation of sufficient quantities can cause severe lung damage or death.
Conoco, through the Medical Division, is continually monitoring the health of its employees by regularly testing blood samples. These samples are drawn twice per year.
Disclosures over the past years have in dicated that exposure to EXCESSIVE con centrations of VCM over LONG periods of time could cause cancer of the liver,
In the history of the manufacture of VCM and PVC, there have been 48 deaths recorded world wide from angiosarcoma, the rare liver cancer linked to VCM.
The data to substantiate the link between liver cancer and VCM was released to the public in January, 1974 when B.F. Goodrich reported that the death of two employees may have been oc-
VAB.0001078219
cupationally related to VCM.

It is believed that the victims had been exposed to large concentrations of VCM over a number of years.
Twenty*;Oner of the deaths were reported in the United States where there are an estimated 6,500 people in PVC/VCM manufacturing and about 97,000 in plastics and resin fabrication.
To date, there have been no cases of angiosarcoma in any of Conoco's plants.
Several years before the discovery of angiosarcoma, a finger bone disease, acroostosteolysis, known to us as AOL, was discovered and linked to the manual cleaning of PVC reactors.
AOL is characterized by any combination of: -- a sensation or feeling that hands are cold,
very small areas of damage to finger bones that are detected by X-ray examination, -- and a thickening and drying of the skin of the hands and forearms,
The condition is reversable by removing the employee from exposure to liquid VCM,
Conoco Chemicals is very concerned about the
safety of its employees and therefore has done
everything possible to reduce employee exposure
to VCM,

With your help, we have achieved the maximum permissible exposure limit of one part per million averaged over an eight hour period plantwide,
Certain parts of our plants will, however, continue to be designated as regulated areas because VCM concentrations occasionally exceed the maximum permissable exposure limit.
Signs which say REGULATED AREA - CANCER SUSPECT AGENT AREA - AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY - are posted at each entrance . . .
F
There are two remaining regulated areas in our plant. They are Large Reactors and certain parts of the VCM Tankfarm .
Before entering a regulated area, EVERYONE must sign the regulated area log for that area.
Regulated areas are restricted to authorized personnel who have work assignments in those areas. All other personnel must stay out.
The VCM health regulation also requires that appropriate respiratory protection be made available in plants manufacturing PVC or VCM.
NIOSH has approved an organic vapor cannister type gas mask for use in environments of up to 25 ppm of VCM, however a 10 ppm maximum is used in our plant for this canniste^^^i^ir^^].

Cannisters must be replaced after a total of
four hours use or at the end of your shift,
whichever comes first.

However, you should know for your safety if a beard interferes with your achieving a tight seal on the face mask of your respirator, the beard should be trimmed or removed.
Employees with beards will be requested to demonstrate by test to their Supervisor that they can maintain a godd face seal.'
Minor mechanical failure such as leaky valves
and seals could result in VCM concentrations in excess of the permissible limits, which are: 15 minutes at 5 ppm and an 8 hr. average of 1 ppm or less.
Some indicators of VCM leaks are small ice formations, condensed water or frost on pipes, and hissing sounds from processing equipment which contains VCM like valves, flanges, packing and the like.
Our continuous monitoring system graphically records the concentrations of VCM throughout the plant on the G,C. panels located in Large Reactor Control Room, Dryer Control Room and Q. C, Lab.
The Lead Operator or Lead Technician will notify you of concentrations above the permissible limits of 1 ppm in your area either by twoway radio or the paging system.

If the job you are doing requires you to remain in the area where VCM concentrations are above the permissible limits, you must wear the appropriate respiratory protection.
If you are not required to stay, you must remain away from the area until you have been notified that the VCM concentration is below the permissible limits. When necessary, you will be issued protective coveralls and gloves.
They must be worn along with your respiratory protection when: cleaning reactors, . .
Unloading VCM tank cars ...
Cleaning out sweco screens , . ,
or while performing any job where your skin might come in contact with liquid VCM.
Disposable protective clothing should be

The OSHA VCM Standard requires us to sample the air in our work areas for VCM by Personnel Dosimetry and by fixed multi point monitors. We use this information to help us minimize your personal exposure and to monitor our progress in the reduction of VCM concentration in the plant.
Our dosimetry equipment consists of a pump and a gas bag . . or . . .
Pump and charcoal tube .
The dosimetry samples are analyzed for VCM content in our lab.
These results are tabulated, recorded and made available at your request by asking your Supervisor or Department Head.
Our four (4) Honeywell fixed point automated gas chromatograph monitoring systems sample air in all areas of our plant 24 hrs. per day, year around.
Sensors like these will collect air samples at more than forty (40) points throughout our plants.,
The gas chromatograph analyzes these samples
and sets off an alarm when a concentration
of VCM is higher than the permissible limit of
1 ppm.

A person on each shift is designated to notify employees of high VCM levels in their areas.
All people in the high level area who are not equipped with appropriate respiratory pro tection must leave the area immediately after notification.
You will continue to be trained in the emergency procedures to be followed in the event of an unforeseeable major VCM gas release or fire.
These procedures are fully detailed in the PVC Plant Safety and Health Manual for our plant.
We will continue our medical surveillance of all employees which includes liver profile, blodd work and urinalysis studies. These provide the best diagnostic test available to detect the symptoms of angiosarcoma.
You will also be given, at the Company^ expense, a periodic complete physical examination including chest X- ray and pulmonary funtion . . .
. . . Along with your compelte medical and work background histories.

We legibly and appropriately label containers of PVC, VCM, PVC waste from reactors and waste contaminated with VCM,
Also, we are required to keep and maintain records of our personnel dosimetry, Honeywell readings, medical histories, and authorized personnel rosters. Also, your Doctor will be furnished any and all medical records you request in writing.
We maintain records regarding regulated areas. number of employees working in those areas, and all exposures in excess of 1 ppm as determined by personnel dosimeters.
Copies of the current OSHA VCM Standard can be obtained by asking your Supervisor, De partment Head or any member of the Safety Department.
Okay, letfs briefly review some of the major points we have just covered.
Remember, VCM has been labeled as a hazardous material, When breathed in high concentrations, it could cause dizziness on create a narcotic effect,
VCM has a flash point of minus -108 degrees Farenheit and has explosive limits which make it three times as flammable as gasoline.

i Contact with liquid VCM could cause your skin
to become severely frostbitten.
Exposure to EXCESSIVE amount of VCM over LONG periods of time could cause liver cancer.
In each case, the appropriate respiratory protection will be provided for your use in VCM environments in excess of the per missible limits.
You will continue to be required to use an air supplied respirator when doing jobs where the potential for VCM exposure is greater than 10 ppm.
You will also be required to wear protective clothing when performing any job in which your skin could come in contact with liquid VCM,
To minimize your exposures to VCM and to check our progress in reducing VCM concentrations in the air, we are continuously sampling and

Continued expansion of the plant increased its capacity to a peak of nearly 350 million pounds per year in 1973. Compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations however, resulted in the shutdown of all the small reactor build ings reducing capacity to approximately 150 million pounds per year in 1975. The new capacity replacement project scheduled to come on stream in early 1978 will bring capacity back up to the 1973 level of 350 million pounds per year.
Vinyl Chloride monomer is a water clear liquid shipped to our plant in tank railcars from Conoco*s Lake Charles VCM Plant,
The VCM is stored in 3 separate storage tanks. The two storage bullets hold 450,000 pounds each.
In 1975, a 640,000 gallon sphere was con structed which holds 4,5 million pounds.
From the storage tanks, the VCM is piped to the large reactor area,,
Conoco*s Large Reactor Technology was the first
of its kind in the world. In these reactors.
Vinyl Chloride is converted from its liquid-
monomer state into millions of very small solid
white particles in a water slurry. (more)

The water is removed from the slurry in Rotary gas fired dryers such as these. Hot air is blown through the dryers and evaporates the water. The remaining small white particles are the end product called PVC Resin. This can be sold as is or transferred to other operations within the plant as a raw material.
Dry Blend is a product that uses Resin as a base raw material. The Welex mixers com bine resin along with other raw materials to produce a product that is used in the pro duction of rigid pipe.
Alcohol from Conoco1s Lake Charles Plant is re acted with other raw materials to make a clear oil known as plasticizer and is used in the compounding operation. It is this raw material that makes compound flexible.
Various mixtures of PVC resin, plasticizer, color pigments and fillers are combined in the pre sence of heat and pressure on these mills to form Compound. Our customers receive Compound in a pellet form from which a finished product is manufactured by reheating.
All finished products leave our plant in one of the following: 50 pound bags. . .

Our design engineering group is divided into 2 functional groups: Process and Mechanical. Process Engineers specify process equipment and Mechanical Engineers handle all support engineering and field installation.
A major concern of Conoco Chemicals is the assurance that its employees have a pleasant working environment. Several major projects have been completed to accomplish this.
One of these is a series of Polution Control Ponds that meet the State Water Commission Standards.
Another project, completed in 1976, was the resurfacing of all plant roads.
Also, a new office area was completed in September, 1975, which provided a central location for all Engineering, Operation Department Heads, Administration and Industrial Relations.
There are several planned projects to be completed in the near future. One of these is 4 new large reactors which will more than double the size of the existing reactor department. As stated previously, these should be in operation by early 1978 and will return the plant to its 1973 capacity.

Conoco attracted worldwide attention in 1962 when it brought on stream a $10 million ALFOL R Alcohol Plant In Lake Charles.
The plant's capacity has been expanded twice until today it produces 200 million pounds of raw materials a year for the detergent, plas ticizer and specialty chemical markets.
Another plant unit produces feedstocks for Baltimore's NALKYLENE R alkylate process.
A 600 million pounds per year vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant, then the world's largest.,.
and a 500 million pound ethylene plant, came on stream at Lake Charles in 1968.
Our new ethylene tanker terminal came on stream in 1974 at the Lake Charles complex's marine dock. It will be used for imported ethylene to supplement the production of our ethylene plant.
Ethylene is a basic building block of the chemical industry. More than half of our annual production is used as feedstock by the VCM plant and a large part of the remainder by the alcohol plant.

The plant came on stream in 1969. It combined the operations of a Chicago plant, acquired from Stepan in 1952, and a batch sulfonation plant built in Hammond by Conoco in 1958.
Our Newark plant, known as the Pitt-Consol Chemical Company, uses phenol and methanol feedstocks to manufacture a variety of cresylic acids.
The plant has a a year.
capacity of 50 million pounds
The cresylics are used as base raw materials by the plastics, rubber, oil additive and pharmaceutical industries.
Since Pitt-Consol was formed in 1955, the plant has undergone extensive revision and expansion of its production facilities.
Included was the construction of a unit to synthetically produce the cresylics. This technology was available in 1966 and the plant was built in time to take advantage of the decline of cresylics from natural sources.
