Mark Riddle reviewed the hose incident investigation. The P-bulletin was reviewed. STOP cards turned in during October were reviewed by the HSC. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Physical Fitness Promotion The information on available fitness centers in the Texas City, Galveston, and Clear Lake areas was reviewed. The main body of the promotional section will be assembled by Albert Solis, Mike Westmoreland, Mark Riddle, and Dennis Kos in a meeting scheduled for December 9, 1932. The Plant News article is to be issued in December. Breathing Air Hose Storage SHAC committed to look into the problem of breathing air hose storage in the September HSC meeting. As a result a SHAC bulletin was issued in December which included recommended hose and other breathing air equipment storage methods. NEW BUSINESS Procedure for Hanging Fire/Entry Permits In .some units there is a practice of issuing fire permits directly to the maintenance worker to be hung at the job site. We understand this to be a violation of the fire permit procedure (Gene Crain). sc 12946 LAM014163 Hourly Safety Committee -2- December 20, 1982 The procedure bulletin P-0117 states that the permit is to be hung by the operator or his operator designee. Each HSC member is asked to go to the unit/crafts represented and obtain feedback on the frequency and extent of this problem across the plant. This should be reported at the December HSC meeting. In addition, this part of the fire/entry permit procedure will be stressed in training sessions already planned for first quarter training sessions on the revised procedure bulletin P-0117. Lockout Procedure When the carpenters build scaffolds in cooling tower air shrouds, for example, the carpenters' lock is removed from the breaker at day end. However, their scaffold equipment is exposed to possible damage if the motor is inadvertently started. The lockout procedure doesn't address this (Walt Middleton). The lockout procedure (bulletin P-0120) states that mechanical equipment . must be locked out with a padlock against accidental and inadvertent move ment when such motion could cause injury to personnel or damage to equip ment. The procedure is designed to ensure that the operations lock is always present as long as the work is incomplete. Each craft and shift will also place their lock on the breaker when work starts and will remove it when the shift ends or their work is complete. However, each craft must communicate (by procedure) the status of their work to operations prior to removal of their lock. This communication, together with the operations final inspection, ensures that the equipment is ready to run when the final lock (operations) is removed. This procedure has been demonstrated to, and if followed, will continue to protect personnel and equipment while work is in progress. Dock 2 Phenol Hose Deinventory Problems Over the last year there have been several incidents in which the Dock 2 phenol hose has accumulated phenol which could not be removed due to dip or low point. This has been addressed in the safety log book and unit/craft meetings but the action taken (use of a crane to take out the belly) does not always prevent recurrence. This concern is under investigation and will be reported in the December HSC minutes. Please remember the next HSC meeting, December 28, 1982, at 1330 in the Personnel Building, small conference room. SC 12947 D. D. Kos  Ward /ju> t***lr*,rs ' \3' P&h'1 b Ulh'^H r sc 12948 LAM014165
