Comments on Statistics Recordable and Lost Workday Rates are higher than our targets for 1980. It is noteworthy to point out that in three of the last four years we have had our Lost Workday case in the month of January. C. Units and Groups with Rising Trendlines and others Worthy of Comment Depts. 10 and Power 2 show a significant improvement in their safety perfor mance indicating that they are now getting their injuries under control. The pumper gaugers have a rising trend line for the past two months. D. Contractor Safety--C.M. McCullough During the month, there was one recordable injury to a pipefitter. This Injury highlighted the personnel exposures in the project to remove the fireproofing in the styrene plant. E. CEP Project Safety--B.C. Lancaster The CED project suffered one recordable injury from a twisted back during the month of January. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--D.W. Metten A. Reporting Level for Loss Incident Reports P-0111 has been revised (draft) to incorporate concepts approved by the November PMSB. The draft will be circulated the week of February 18, 1980. B. Eye Bath Policy SAC takes the following posture concerning the recommendations in the 1979 Annual Inspection Report: 1. Inspection Report Recommendation - Consideration be given to the installation of hose-type eye wash stations rather than the currently fixed type so that a second person can irrigate the eyes of an injured individual. SAC Response - Review of the data indicates: a) The plant standard (fixed type) is different from the CED standard (hose type). Sc 003401 LAM004415 PMSB Minutes - February 20, 1980 Page 3 b) There are valuable merits to both types but when considered In balance, one type does not offer significant advantage over the other. c) Use of the fixed type is universal In the plant with only rare exceptions. Recommendation - SAC feels that since the merits of the hose type vs. the fixed type eye bath are marginal, the key issue becomes the con sistent use of eye baths in the plant. With this key point in mind and considering the cost vs. questionable benefit, SAC recommends no change made to the currently installed fixed type eye baths. 2. Inspection Report Recommendaton - Use of the alarms.and green iden tification lights on safety showers was Inconsistent. We recommend all safety showers be reviewed for the consistent use of lights and alarms. SAC Response - SAC has asked SHAC to survey the plant to determine the degree of inconsistency. Based on the request, SAC recommends: a) Alarms - As a policy, all eye baths should be alarmed. Based on the results of data to be gathered, SAC recommends a planned approach be accepted to ultimately achieve 100% alarms for eye baths. (The number of alarms required and cost involved will determine urgency of completion). b) Green Light Identification - Same recommendation as "Alarms" above. The Plant Manager asked that a memo be sent to Dick Joslin, Chairman of the 1979 Safety and Housekeeping Inspection Committee, giving him an update on the status of their recommendations. III. REPORT OF THE SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING ACTION COMMITTEE (SHAC)--C.M. Cruse The old and new SHAC Committee met with the Plant Manager and reviewed the sta tus of plans and programs for the coming year.
