annual SAFETY REPORT 1969 INDUSTRIES CORNING H. CLARK UNDERWOOD Manager Safety and Plant Protection SL 104050 FOREWORD This report includes 65 reporting units, including: All Corporation plants; the General Office; Standard Chemical Corporation, Beauharnois Plant; Houston Chemical Corporation, Beaumont Plant; Distribution and Sales groups of the Coatings and Resins Division; are! for the first time the Contract and Supply Department of the Glass Division. The Pittsburgh Corning Corporation includes four reporting units. Hie statistical data for these units is not included in the Corporate statistics, but is shown separately. Your comments with respect to this report are most welcome. CORPORATE SUMMARY FREQUENCY RATE; 1969 - 5.0** 1968 - 1.8* This rate reflects ttie number of disabling injuries per million manhours exposure confuted on the basis of the American National Standards Institute formula: Disabling Injuries x 1.000,000 Frequency Rate Manhours Worked * The 1968 corporate frequency of 1.8 equals the all-time low for the Corpo ration. However, the 1968 safety statistics include, for the first time, the experience of the C&R Division's Paint Centers and also, for the first time, hernia cases were included. These two items accounted for 11 of the Corporation's disabling injuries. Removing these 11 cases, in order to compare 1968's frequency with that of 1967, has the effect of reducing the frequency rate from 1,8 to 1.7. The 1969 corporate frequency rate of 5*0 reflects the inclusion, for the first time, of the experience of the Contract and Supply Department of the Glass Division. Excluding the experience of this operation would result in a frequency rate of 2.1 for 1969. Further, excluding the experience of the C&R Division's Paint Centers and hernia case experience results in a frequency rate of 2,0 for 1969. Making these exclusions for comparison purposes only results in the following frequency rates: 1967 - 1.8; 1968 - 1.7 and 1969 - 2.0. SEVERITY RATE 1969 - 5hh ** 1968 - 670 * Diis rate reflects the number of days lost per million manhours exposure computed on the basis of the American National Standards Institute formula: Days Lost x 1,000,000 Severity Rate = Manhours Worked Our Severity Rate declined in 1969 for the first time since 1961a, the year in which our corporate low of 331 was established. * Removing the days charged for the 11 Paint Center and hernia cases increased the 1968 severity rate from 670 to 706. In other words, while the charging of the Paint Center and hernia cases has the effect of increasing the fre quency rate, it has the opposite effect on the severity rate. Increasing the corporate manhours by the inclusion of the Paint Centers manhours has the effect of lowering the severity rate. ** Removing the Contract & Supply Department's experience for the severity rate calculation produces a severity rate fhr 1969 of 536 . Further, removing the -1- l40Si experience of the C&R Division's Paint Centers and hernia case experience results in a severity rate of 561 for 1969, Making these exclusions for comparison purposes only results in the following severity rates: 1967 - 659; 1968 - 706, 1969 - 561, In 1969, sixteen serious injuries occurred, 3 fatalities are included in this figure, The remaining cases involved the loss as indicated: Fatalities One Eye Barberton Newark Works 1 Works 53 Fineer (s) Works 9 Works 10 Works 11 Works 15 Works 21 Works 52 (3) Architectural Metals (3) Arm Works 8 Hie total days charged for these cases is based on the charges specified by the American National Standards Institute, Code Z16.1.

As a result, th se units earned the Company's Award of Honor. These units are as follows. -2- PPG INDUSTRIES 1969 Award of Honor Manufacturlng San Francisco (Ninth Consecutive Year) Delaware (Fifth Consecutive Year) Beauhamois (Third Consecutive Year) Cumberland (Second Consecutive Year) Bellingham (Second Consecutive Year) Gas Department Huntsville Lake Charles Zanesville Berkeley Cleveland Red Wing Research & Development Units Glass Research Fiber Glass Research Coatings & Resins Research Chemical Research* Barberton Natrium Corpus Christi Sales & Distribution Units C&R Division Industrial Sales (Second Consecutive Year ) Ditzler Warehouses (Fifth Consecutive Year) PITTSBURGH CORNING CORPORATION Research & Engineering (Second Consecutive Year) Ninety-six units of the Contract & Supply Department completed the year with out a disabling injury and wBre recognized for this fine accomplishment by the presentation of a special Safety Award Certificate. In 1969, six plants earned the Company's Award of Merit for a "significant safety accomplishment." This award is made to those plants who have not attained a perfect record but have made a significant safety accomplishment. Plants earning this award are* -3- SL 104052 PPG INDUSTRIES 1969 Award of Merit Works 26 (Third Consecutive Tear) Works 9 (Second Consecutive Tear) Works 11 Works 50 Natrium Bloomfield ANALTSIS Corporation excluding Contract & Supply Department The first five injury classifications as shown on the "Cause & Classifi cation" chart (Page 1$ of this report accounts for 85$ of the disabling injuries. These same five classifications accounted for 75$ of the disabling injuries in 1968. This increase resulted in a decrease in the eye injury classification and in the glass (struck & struck by) classi fication. This is an encouraging change and probably can be attributed to proper protective equipment and enforcement of the rules governing the use of this equipment. The positioning of these injury causes changes from year to year with respect to the leading cause, second leading cause, etc. Within the five leading injury classifications the only really significant change this year was the increase in the number of disabling injuries caused by "Objects" and "Strains & Sprains" and the decrease in disabling injuries caused by "Palis". Contract & Supply Department Die first three injury classifications as shown on the "Cause and Classifi cation" chart (Page 20) of this report accounts for 6l$ of the disabling injuries. Another 26$ of the disabling injuries are a result of the Glass (Struck and Struck By) classification. Proper protective equipment and enforcement of rules governing the use of this equipment should sub stantially reduce the glass classification as it has in the manufacturing operations. In addition, the "Sprains and Strains" classification, which accounts for 31$ of the disabling injuries, should be substantially reduced by training in proper lifting techniques. Corporate The summary charts shown on Page 22 of this report prove once again that neither age nor experience is a deterrent to being injured. Tie number of disabling injuries in the group of employees with two or less years of service accounts for 39$ of the disabling injuries. Tiis represents a decline in the percentage for -this group of employees in the past two years. Tiis is probably the result of the inclusion of the Contract & Supply statistics in these tables. Tie high percentage of disabling injuries among 'this group of employees continues to show very clearly the need for new employee safety orientation and safety job training and job instruction for both new and transferred employees. -h- AUDITS Audits of Safety, Fire Protection, Plant Protection and Disaster Control Programs were conducted at the following locations: 196? Works 19 Zanesville Beauharnois Baltimore Milwaukee Follow-up audits, for audits completed in prior years, were conducted at the following locations: # Works 1 Works 5 # Works 7 # Works 9 Works 10 # Works 11 # Works 12 # Works 1U Works 15 Works 26 Works 50 Work3 52 Corpus Christi Beaumont Lake Charles Barberton Natrium Newark Cleveland Springdale Circleville * Follow-up audits at these plants were conducted by Glass Division Plant Safety Directors. CORPORATE SAFETI CONFERENCE For the first time in our corporate history a Corporate Safety Conference was held. Biis conference was attended by representatives of all the Company's operations except the Beauharnois plant of Standard Chemicals Corporation and by representatives of all of Pittsburgh Corning's operations except their Research and Engineering location. TRAINING A number of Company locations experienced changes in Safety personnel during the year. As a result, considerable training of Safety personnel has been undertaken. Die 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 8 Works 10 Works 22 Works 50 Glass Research Barberton Lake Charles Circleville Milwaukee Red Wing In addition, thirty-one Glass plant representatives, one Fiber Glass plant representative and two Pittsburgh Corning plant representatives attended a Glass Division Fire School held at the Armstrong County Fire Training Grounds near Ford City, Pennsylvania, -5- SL 104053 Numerous other training activities were completed for certain individuals such as plant visitations, various conferences, special sessions and pro grams sponsored by private groups, associations and governmental bodies. EXPANDED SAFETY ACTIVITIES During "the year plans were implemented for the inclusion of the Contract and Supply Department accident statistics for the 1969 Corporate figures. With this step, our corporate statistics reflect the safety experience of the Company's entire domestic operation. This will enable valid statistical comparisons with other leading industries for the first time. Minimum safety programs for the C&S jtribution Centers and Branches were implemented in 1969. Visitations were made to the following CStS locations: Atlanta, Georgia D.C, Baltimore, Maryland D.C, Chicago, Illinois D.C. Daveiport, Iowa D.C, Detroit, Michigan D.C.
