JOB SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REVIEWED. _____ INSURE THAT YOU ARE WEARING PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT: HARD HAT, SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES, AND SAFETY SHOES. WEAR GLOVES, HEARING PROTECTION, AND RESPIRATOR IF EXPOSURE POTENTIAL EXISTS. ALL ROUNDS SHOULD BE MADE ON TIME. Rounds can be delayed if deemed necessary by the lead operator or supervisor for emergency situations or other important jobs that need immediate attention. This must be noted on the log sheet. MAKING AN INSIDE ROUND. First, check to make sure that the computer is updating. Attention should be paid to the trend of each variable logged down. If it looks strange, investigate the cause and take action if needed. MAKING AN OUTSIDE ROUND. The purpose of an outside round is twofold: (1) to record all parameters on the logsheet that can only be taken from outside and (2) make a visual inspection of the unit. One should be looking for safety hazards, leaks, bad seals, etc. Doing this on each round could prevent an accident, major environmental release or loss of production due to equipment failure.

The sheets are divided into two categories: A. Process operators fill out the sections in the unit itself. B. Storage operators fill out the section in the outlying bulk storage areas. <\l CD CO O CD --J CO OBTAIN A WORKING METER. On HNU meters check- the battery to insureittis charged up by turning the knob to *batt" position. You should hear the meter come on and the needle should be in the green zone. If the battery does not test good let it recharge. On the TIP meter the battery is OK if "LOBAT" is not showing. Zero the meter you are using by turning the zero knob till it reads zero. During use, the meter should be periodically rezeroed. 5. u o o*-' * > u *3 -! D < U 'A *H fj *H K * C 1--< W O .m c> m aW* -Dh * *. fj * W C *-! O IDENTIFY METER, DATE, CALIBRATION DATE, AND OPERATOR ON THE LEAK PATROL FORM. This data is required by law to be recorded. If the meter calibration date is more than 7 days old the meter cannot be used. Obtain another meter with a valid calibration date. Notify supervision if one cannot be found. COMPLETE INSPECTION AND PUT A CHECK BY THE EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT LEAKING. IDENTIFY LEAKS WITH THE QUANTITY AND A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT AND WHERE THEY ARE. Check each individual piece of equipment on the list. Check valve packings, flanges, fittings, bleed valves, pump seals, and any other suspected areas. If any leaks are found in areas other than those listed on the log sheet note these also. A "leak" is defined as a VCM concentration of 10 ppm or * '* ` greater at a distance of six inches downwind of the sourceObvio'usly the concentration will be higher at . -distances lebs than 6". Log only those leaks that fit the definition of a leak on the sheet 0 REPAIR ANY LEAKS THAT CAN BE EASILY STOPPED. If the leak can be fixed with channel locks, then do so during the round. Log it as a leak but also state in the corrective action section what was done to stop the leak. AFTER YOU REPAIR THE LEAK, SNIFF IT AGAIN WITH THE METER TO VERIFY IT IS <10 PPM AND WRITE DOWN THE READING (0-10 PPM) ON THE LEAK PATROL FORM. THIS MUST BE DONE FOR DEQ VERIFICATION. There is_ no_ reason to lea ve a_ leak for maintenance tha t an opera tor can fix. If the leak is too small to qualify as a 10 ppm leat 6" but is still worth fixing, do so or log it in the maintenance log book so it can be repaired before it becomes a reportable leak. at Any leak that is large enough to show vapors, liquid, or icing is to be reported to supervision immediatelv so that it can be repaired. WHEN YOU CANNOT TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION, LOG DOWN THE INITIATIVE TAKEN TO STOP THE LEAK. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS USED IN THE FOLLOW-UP AND CORRECTION TO THE. LEAK. If the leak cannot be stopped by you, log down in the corrective action section what action was taken that will eventually stop the leak. Examples of this are statements noting that the leak was repaired using the maintenance log or a work order. AFTER THE LEAK IS REPAIRED, WHAT WAS DONE MUST BE NOTED ON THE LEAK PATROL FORM WHERE THE LEAK WAS FIRST REPORTED. ALSO NOTE THE DATE THE REPAIR WAS MADE AND INITIAL YOUR COMMENTS. Also, remonitor the leak again with a meter to verify that it is <10 ppm and write down the reading (0-10 ppm) on the leak patrol form. This must be done for DEQ veri fication.

WHEN AN AIR MONITOR ALARM IS RECEIVED, THE APPROPRIATE OPERATOR OR LEAD OPERATOR IS TO GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE THE LEAK IMMEDIATELY. It is your responsibility to investigate, correct, and report on any alarms that occur. Our ambient air monitoring records are reviewed by the La. DEQ. To convince them that we are handling VCM correctly, our records must be complete. 2. TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO STOP THE LEAK IF ONE IS FOUND. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION MUST BE WORN. 0 - 50 ........................ ppm COMFO-1 I HALF MASK 50 - 250 ................... ppm COMFO-1 I FULL FACE MASK >250 OR UNKNOWN . ppm AIR PACK OR BREATHING AIR 3. NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN THE LOGBOOK FOR EACH ALARM OF GREATER THAN 5 PPM: (NOTE: Steps a - d are to be done for every alarm needing response. Repeated alarms at the same point are not acceptable; use of an HNU or tip is required on repeat alarms.) (a) WHEN THE ALARM WAS RECEIVED. Write time in military f orm. (b) WHAT MEANS OR INSTRUMENTATION WAS USED TO SEARCH FOR OR FIND THE LEAK. (c) RESULTS OF THE LEAK CHECK INCLUDING AN INSTRUMENT READING. (d) WHAT WAS FOUND. Even if nothing was found, write "nothing found." (e) WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN TO STOP THE LEAK. IF THE AIR MONITOR SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING ON BACK SHIFT, IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE SHIFT SUPERVISOR TO CALL OUT THE ANALYZER GROUP TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM. If analyzer is found to be malfunctioning before 05:00 a.m., the analyzer group must be called out. After 05:00 a.m., the lead man should pass on:to*his relief that the analyzer group should^^ be called out;at. 07:30 a.m. eo^OENTlALt qub'ecr Vo protective order Of 1 alh judicial ui.trxct cu No. 5. PULL THE AIR MONITOR REPORT AFTER IT PRINTS OUT AT 7 AM. VC LEAD MAN IS RESPONSIBLE. If for some reason it is lost, pull the alarm point data logger for the 2k hour period 7 AM to 7 AM. 6. TRANSFER THE RESPONSES TO THE ALARMS FOR EACH POINT FROM THE LOGBOOKS TO THE AIR MONITOR REPORT. Alarms will appear in columns <R3 and >R3. The <R2 columns are not for alarms. MAKE RESPONSES IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO LEAVE NO DOUBT OR CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE. Since the alarm is to be checked immediately, the response on the air monitor report should contain a phrase stating so. An example of this is "operator checked at alarm time Make every effort to check the alarm as soon as possible. If for some reason we are unable to do so, note as such and give a reason. The remainder of the response should clearly state what was found and what corrective action was taken. Examples of this are: "...checked with leak-detek, found a sample coil fitting leak and tightened it up and the leak stopped.", "...checked with HNU, tip and found nothing", and, "...checked with HNU and found a leaking flange. Cleared the piping to stop the leak and wrote it up in the maintenance logbook to be repaired." 7. IF THE RESPONSE IN THE LOGBOOK IS INCOMPLETE OR MISSING, THE VC LEAD MAN j_S RESPONSIBLE FOR TRACK ING DOWN THE ANSWERS. Write notes in the appropriate logbooks if necessary. 8. PUT THE COMPLETED REPORT ON THE DESK OF THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE OF THE AIR MONITOR REPORT FILE. 9. THE VCM-I AIR MONITOR ALARMS ALSO PRINT OUT AT VCM-1 I . VCM~ II IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING OUT POINTS 9-12 IN THE SAME MANNER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE FINDINGS MUST BE NOTED IN THE STORAGE LOGBOOK AND MUST BE COMMUNICATED BACK TO THE VCM-I CONTROL ROOM TO BE LOGGED ONTO THEIR AIR MONITOR REPORT.

IT IS PPG POLICY NEVER TO RUN IN THE HIGH LEVEL ALARM STATE ON ANY VESSEL. IT IS ALSO STANDARD OPERATION PROCEDURE TO NEVER FILL A VESSEL WITHOUT AT LEAST TWO WORKING LEVEL INDICATORS. IF A HIGH ALARM IS RECEIVED, IMMEDIATELY VERIFY THAT THE ALARM IS CORRECT. a. Check the Varec or other level indication to determine what level is actually in the vessel. b. If you are sure the indication is incorrect, inform supervision immediately so that the level device can be repaired. c. It is SOP never to fill a vessel without at least two working level indicators. IF LEVEL IS CORRECT, IT_ MUST BE IMMEDIATELY LOWERED TO CLEAR ALARM STATE. This can be done by equalizing or transferring to another tank. SL 004396 -- - , * ?* . ; `r* !>ub 1 f ilUr OnWKlOf.M-r.t.Tf.t * ,;. r t (h: rej v* v i I i J.i.'s t r .i C ^ :- l - U -4 5 " CoA"
