RECOMMENDED WORKPRACTICES
(OP-III Kerosene Furnace Deposits)
Excessive employee exposure to kerosene furnace coke deposits may result in chemical skin burns and is to be minimized as far as practical by the following workpractices.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Employees are to be supplied and wear clean protective coveralls and gloves on each shift. Shirt sleeves are to be taped to gloves.
Contaminated coveralls are to be laundered or otherwise disposed of by Shell.
Goggles or full face respirator are to be worn at all times while working with coke deposits.
Employees are to use protective skin cream on forearms, neck and face. This is water soluble and must be replaced
after each washing. Protective cream should only be applied to clean skin. (Marion 222TM Barrier Cream)
WASHING - PERSONAL HYGIENE
The probability of receiving a burn from the coke deposit increases where contact with the skin is prolonged. There fore employees are to wash off visible skin contamination at breaks; once at mid-morning, lunch and mid-afternoon is suggested. All employees must wash up before eating and at the end of the workshift.
A wash through with soap and disposable towels is to be provided at the work site.
HEAT STRESS
e
The use of total protective clothing as recommended may result in heat stress or heat fatigue. Symptoms of heat stress include dizziness and nausea. To minimize the risk of heat stress:
A source of cool water should continue to be made available.
A portable man-cooling fan should be used to provide additional ventilation. The fan should be located so as to avoid creat ing airborne coke deposits.
DUS1EXP0SURE
Employees involved in dust generating activities such as chipping or shoveling deposits are to wear disposable paper dust respirators, or full face air purifying respirators equipped with dust filters.

As contact with the face may occur from contamination of the interior of these masks, these masks are to be cleaned after each use. GENERAL Employees with potential exposure to furnace deposits are to be advised of the need to strictly follow these workpractices and to promptly report any sensation of skin burning to their supervisor. Industrial Hygiene and Safety are to be timely advised of any health related incidents.
