SAFETY DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT l 95h
The annual report for the year 195U covers the following operations:

Works No. 51 (Fiberglas) Hicksville, N. Y, Works No, 25, Greensburg, Pennsylvania Columbia-Southern Chem. Corp,, Jersey City, Paint Division Research, Springdale, Pa,
N.J,
Record shown for 9 months " " " 1 months " " " U months " " " 3 months
The Columbia Coal Mine at Benwood, West Virginia, which ceased operations the first part of the year, was removed from our report in May,
Comparison of company records of the year 1951; with 1953:
6.6$ Decrease in Hours Worked 11$ Decrease in Frequency Rate of Injuries 29$ Increase in Severity Rate of Injuries
The Glass, Brush and Columbia-Southern Chemical Divisions recorded reductions in Frequency Rate while Paint, Cement and Columbia-Southern (Coal) showed increases From the Severity Rate standpoint, the Brush and Cement Divisions showed decreases and the other divisions increases.
Eight organizations completed the calendar year without a lost time injury and have been awarded the company's "Certificate of Honor," Our congratulations to these organizations.
Glass Division Research - Completed fourth consecutive year Works No. 19, Kokomo, Indiana - Completed third consecutive year Gas Department, Ford City, Pa. - Coraplet d second consecutive year Ditzler Color Division - Completed second consecutive year

Portland Paint Plant - Completed second consecutive year Works No. 6, Ford City, Pa. - Completed first no-accident year Milwaukee Paint Plant - Completed first no-accident year Springdale Paint Plant - Completed first no-accident year
Fourteen additional organizations had records better than the Injury Frequency Rate of the company for 195k and will be awarded the company's "Certificate of Merit" in recognition of their achievement.
Works No. 1 Glass Plant, Creighton, Pennsylvania Works No. U Glass Plant, Ford City, Pennsylvania Works No. 9 Glass Plant, Crystal City, Missouri Shop No. 2, Ford City, Pennsylvania Baltimore Brush Plant, Baltimore, Maryland Atlanta Paint Plant, East Point, Georgia Houston Paint Plant, Houston, Texas Torrance Paint Plant, Torrance, California Forbes Finishes Division, Cleveland, Ohio Zanesville Cement Plant, Zanesville, Ohio Columbia-Southern Chemical Plant - Barberton, Ohio Columbia-Southern Chemical Plant - Corpus Christi, Texas Columbia-Southern Chemical Plant - Lake Charles, Louisiana Columbia-Southern Chemical Plant - New Martinsville, West Virginia
The Severity Rate, not including penalty days assessed for fatalities, is .369 and seventeen organizations had rates lower than the company rate for 195U.
Besides the ea^it organizations with clear records, sixteen others showed reductions in their Frequency Rates and ten plants showed reductions in their Severity Rates in comparison with records of 1953o
Two employees were fatality injured at our Barberton, Ohio Plant of the Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation when a jib, on "rare boom, failed and fell, striking both men. We are assessed 12,000 lost days for these fatalities. Four teen injuries resulted in partial permanent disability. Two of these were eye cases in which the injured lost the vision of one eye. The other cases were amputations of a finger or part of a finger. The penalty days assessed for these partial permanent injuries totalled 6,113.
The analysis of the disabling injuries shows "sprains and strains" caused 2k% of the total, of which so called "back sprains" accounted for 61$. "Struck by or struck against objects" 21$, while those incident to handling glass were 18$, "Falls" accounted for lii$ and "caught between objects" 12$. "Burns" caused 6$, of which chemical burns were 60$.
Sprains and strains in the normal performance of duties and not the result of slipping and falling accidents, concerns each organization, especially those in states where compensation is awarded for partial permanent disability as a result of the so called "injury." A complete physical checkup and immediate investigation of employees claiming injury due to sprains, in the normal perform ance of their duties, should help to discourage spurious claims and eliminate those which are not work connected.

About 31% of the disabling injuries occurred to employees less than 30 years of age. Forty-five percent of the injured were en^loyees with service records of five years or less* This leaves 69% of our injuries occurring to employees between the ages of 30 and 85 and $$% with length of service from 6 to 50 years.
The yearly physical examination of employees in the Glass Division who are exposed to silica or asbestos dust has been continued* No cases of total disability from silicosis have been reported during the year.
Aluminum dust therapy treatments are continuing for employees exposed to silica dust at our Creighton and Ford City plants* About one hundred and thirty employees received treatments during the year which totalled approximately three thousand individual treatments*
In the Columbia-Southern Chemical plants, chest x-ray examinations and routine blood tests are made of employees exposed to various toxic materials. This program will continue and will be expanded* Special examinations were conducted at Jersey City of all employees of that organization due to the handling of chromates.
In the Paint Division routine check examinations are made of employees exposed to lead dust and other toxic material and this program is working out very satisfactory*
The physical examination program has been progressing and all organizations are now having pre-employment examinations of prospective applicants and recheck examinations of certain classes of employees.
Special surveys have been conducted by the Industrial Hygiene Foundation in plants of the Glass Division, Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation and Pittsburgh Corning Corporation* We have cooperated with the plants and the Foundation in these surveys and arrange conferences and a follow-up on the suggestions and recommendations as a result of their findings*
Housekeeping in our plants has shown improvement and is receiving much attention. Good housekeeping is of prime importance to every organization and the "paint up1* and "clean up" campaign cannot be stressed too forcibly since it is a factor in promoting higher morale, safer working conditions and reduced fire hazards* Housekeeping inspections are made by members of the General Safety Committee in a number of organizations and these are supplemented by inspections made by personnel of this office on periodic visits to plants*
Our plants are well equipped with first aid fire fighting equipment and most organizations have trained in-plant fire brigades. Training must be continuous and in most places is being conducted through monthly or bimonthly fire drills. A follow-up is made of all inspection reports received and a detailed checkup of the organizing and training of brigades and inspections of plants from a fire prevention and protection standpoint is made during plant visits. Most of our brigades are well trained and can function efficiently at times of emergency. Training of other units is progressing. We are following the program of fire safety and preparedness in all units of our company*
SL 103823
-a-
Emergency or Disaster Control Programs have been fostered in the plants of the Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation, The emergency plan and organization has been set up and is functioning in most plants. We advocate the adoption of similar programs in the other plants of our company. We are working with some of these organizations on programs applicable to their plants.
The report on our Safe Driver Program will be made separately when our yearly suramaiy is received from our insurance carrier.
Although our record for 19%k showed some improvement from a Frequency Rate standpoint, we know that all our efforts should be extended to reduce accidents and injuries to the absolute minimum. We feel that each organization should set as its goal a $0% or more reduction in injuries during 1955* That it can be don can be seen by examining the records of a number of our large organizations during 19$h
We wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the high interest and fine spirit of cooperation in our Safety and Fire Prevention Program and trust that through our mutual efforts we will be able to obtain better results in the current year.
Respectfully submitted,
