Ransdell C. D. Russell M. M. Spears SUMMARY: What leads to the failure of personnel to follow Industrial Hygiene Work Practices? 1. Management a. Lack of Industrial Hygiene emphasis up and down the ranks. b. Not setting the example to hourly. c. Lack of enforcement of Industrial Hygiene requirements. 2. Attitudes a. Industrial Hygiene is a nuisance. No net value. Causes unbeneficial change. b. "Don't bring in the law." - Keep as much away from Industrial Hygiene personnel as possible. Don't invite problems. ,. J c. Resistance to change of any kind. LAM 000563 d. Wait until we are caught or told before doing something. 3. Failure to recognize or believe this is A. health hazard for chronic poisons at low exposure Levels 4. Written procedures, requirements, and other information not being passed down through the ranks 5. Line Management is not effectively self-auditing 6. Line Management wants to shift responsibility of Industrial Hygiene to Industrial Hygiene Department 7. Lack of monitoring ability for certain requests reduces Industrial Hygiene credibility with the requestor 8. Industrial. Hygiene Program is perceived as the Company's tool to establish a data base for strictly defensive reasons D P M C -1 6 2 7 0 2 9. Contradictions between Safety Department and Industrial Hygiene Department reduces credibility of Industrial Hygiene requirements What can be done to improve Industrial Hygiene performance? 1. Increase voluntary reporting from Operations to Industrial Hygiene regarding maintenance and other work of Industrial Hygiene significance. This would improve job planning and Industrial Hygiene monitoring. 2. Increase staff awareness, attention to and belief in Industrial Hygiene requirements 3. Top management endorsement of Industrial Hygiene require ments and Industrial Hygiene priorities LAN1 000564 DPMC-16271 PRINCIPLE '82 INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE OBJ'^TIVES / I.
