Comments on Statistics--J.A. Glass At the end of October we completed over 1,000,000 manhours since our last days-away-from-work injury. We did have one recordable injury bringing the month's total to 22. The recordable occurred when an operator was in the process of making adjustments to a furnace. A flame flashed out of the inspection port resulting in first and second-degree burns to the operator's face and hand. C. Contractor Safety--C.M. McCullough The rates for the month of October were about equal to those in the past for both Capital Projects and total contractors. There were no recordables for the month. D. CEP Project Safety--B.C. Lancaster There were no recordables during the month. Safety awareness was up in SIP and subcontractors. The IDA II contract is reaching peak manning levels. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE--G.W. Daues A. New Policy On Wearing of Hard Hats in Vehicles in the Plant SAC committee recommended that it not be mandatory that hard hats be worn in vehicles which have solid steel roofs. However, they recom mend that hard hats must be carried in the vehicle when driving about the plant to be used in the event of an emergency when cars are stopped and personnel need to evacuate the area. This policy was discussed and recommended for approval by the plant manager. A plantwide notice has been prepared and issued. B. Interlock By-Passing A proposed P-Bulletin on by-passing and testing of protective devices has been revised and was distributed for review. Return comments to SAC before the next SAC meeting on December 10. C. Biennial Loss Reviews After some discussion on whether these loss reviews should be held more or less frequently than every two years, the LP&S Superintendent requested that his department investigate the status of our Biennial Loss Reviews and will report back to SAC in December. D. Safety Showers - New ANSI Standards Bob Hammann of LP&S reviewed the new ANSI standards pertaining to emergency eye wash and shower facilities and recommended that five LAM004318 SC 003304 PMSB Meeting Minutes - November 25, 1981 0 Page 3 (5) features be incorporated into plant stations. Some of these features appear to be expensive and give only marginal or questionable improvements. SAC is recommending that SHAC: a) Define a standard for new safety showers and eye baths in the Texas City Plant. b) Determine what, if anything, should be done to bring the current safety shower and eye bath stations up to OSHA and corporate stan dards. c) Determine the need for and problems presented by making all shower stations freeze protected. E. Contact Lens Policy The plant manager has recommended a more detailed review of the policy and methods of compliance in other Monsanto plants. III. REPORT OF THE PLANT SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING ACTION COMMITTEE (SHAC)--J.J. McClellan A. 1981 Safety and Housekeeping Inspection October 13,14, & 15 The detailed recommendations of the Housekeeping Inspection Team are being compiled but have not yet been received. SHAC will develop an action plan for fulfilling the recommendations for at lease preparing the responses to their recommendations. B. Status of S-T-A-R-T Safety Program--J.J. McClellan Slides for the 4th quarter have not yet been made. A special session of the PMSB will be held in early December to review the slides. D.E. Kaldenberg requested that the Office Safety Committee prepare parallel slides for use in office safety meetings. C. Hourly Safety Committee Item--J.J. McClellan At the last Hourly Safety Committee meeting, Ed Crow presented the contractor videotape and discussed its use in the plant. D. Emergency Procedure Plan Test A request has been made for plantwide training in the proper response to emergency procedures in Incident Report 81-46.
