ANNUAL REPORT SAFETY DEPARTMENT 1958 PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY lO^n8 ANNUAL REPORT L_2_S_8 PITTBBURBH CORNING SAFETY DEPARTMENT - PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA February - 1959 SIa THIS REPORT COVERS THE FOLLOWING: PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY PLANTS - UNITED STATES COLUMBIA-SOUTHERN CHEMICAL CORPORATION PLANTS PITTSBURGH CORNING CORPORATION PLANTS FIFTY-ONE UNITS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT AND THEIR RECORDS ARE FOR THE FULL CALENDAR YEAR. EXCEPTIONS - SOUTH CHARLESTON, WORKS NO. 51 AND THRESHER. YEARLY RECORD FREQUENCY RATE - 5.2 (Number of disabling Injuries per million hours exposure) SEVERITY RATE - t|6l (Number of days lost per million hours exposure) COMPARISON OF COMPANY RECORD FOR THE YEAR 1958 WITH 1957: 22? DECREASE IN HOURS WORKED 16? INCREASE IN FREQUENCY RATE OF INJURIES 22? INCREASE IN SEVERITY RATE THE INTEREST, COOPERATION AND EFFORTS OF ALL UNITS OF THE COMPANY ARE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED. FREQUENCY The claims to fame for our lowest frequency rate in 1957 were short-lived. Our company frequency for 1958 was 5.2, a sixteen per cent increase over 1957. All divisions except Glass and Coal had similar increases in frequency. Glass decreased five per cent and Coal decreased thirty-two per cent. COMPANY AWARDS HONOR Twelve industrial units completed the year without a disabling injury. The company's ''Certificate of Honor" will be awarded to those plants. Our heartiest congratulations to the following "Honor" plants, Portland Paint Plant - Sixth consecutive year / Works No, 6, Ford City - Second consecutive year Gas Department, Ford City - Second consecutive year * Milwaukee Paint Plant - Second consecutive year v Torrance Paint Plant - Second consecutive year v Works No, 3, Creighton - Year 1958 J Works No. 19, Kokomo - Year 1958 Works No. 25, Greensburg - Year 1958 Ditzler Color Division, Detroit - Year 1958 Barreled Sunlight, Providence - Year 1958 Suydam Division, Pittsburgh - Year 1958 Zanesville Cement Plant - Year 1958 MERIT Sixteen additional industrial units came through 1958 with frequencies under the company rate of 5.2. Those plants will receive the company's "Merit" awards. Works No. 1, Creighton Works No. 2, Ford City Works No. U, Ford City Works No. 9, Crystal City Works No. 10, Henryetta Works No. 11, Mt, Vernon Works No. 12, Clarksburg Glass Research Center, Harmar Twp. Works No, 50, Shelbyville Atlanta Paint Plant Barberton Plant Barberton Limestone Mine Corpus Christi Plant Lake Charles Plant New Martinsville Plant Paint and Brush Research Center It is gratifying that four more plants have entered the "Merit" ranks this year. All of them deserve our wannest congratulations. SEVERITY The company's severity record increased twenty-two per cent over 1957. This was primarily due to the fatal case in the Chemical Division and the total loss of hearing due to a skull fracture in the Paint Division. Six thousand days and three thousand days were charged respectfully to those cases. Accounts of these two cases may be found in the case summary, elsewhere in this report. Similar to frequency, all divisions except Glass and Coal increased in Severity in 1958. Particular credit goes to Coal for one of the best, if not the best record in its history. Thirty-six organizations had frequencies under the company rate of U6l. -2- SL 104l8i Eleven injuries, three more than 1957, resulted in fatal and permanent partial disabilities. One fatal at the newly acquired South Charleston Plant of Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation accounted for a 6,000 days charge. A skull fracture resulting in total loss of hearing at the Red Wing Linseed Oil Plant had charges of 3,000 days disability. Both charges were made according to the American Standards Cods. Ten other permanent partial injuries, including an eye and twelve finger phalanges, accounted for 2,770 days charged. In all, there were 11,770 days charged for these eleven injuries. ANALYSIS Analyzing the 210 disabling injuries for 1958, 52 or 25$ were due to "strains and sprains," and of the 52, thirty-six were back claims. For the second year, "struck by object" was second to "strains" with U7 or 22$. "Caught between" accounted for 28 or 13$ and "falls" were 25 or 12$. Glass injuries were 18 or 9$, a reduction of six per cent over 1957. Burns were 9$ of the injuries. The remainder bunched together as "struck object," "occupational disease," "motor vehicle accidents and "slips," totaled eleven per cent. In the age groups, 2U$ occurred between the age of 18 and 30. However, 57$ occurred in the 30-50 group, and the remaining 19$ fell in the 50-70 age group. Approximately 35$ of those injured had less than five years' service with the company, and nearly half of those had less than one year service. Fifty-four per cent had between five and twenty year^ service and the remaining eleven per cent had between twenty and fifty years' service. From this breakdown, we can surmise that good selection, proper induction of new and transferred employees and careful on-the-job training are indicated. Repeated training on-the-job and constant "contact" reminders of job hazards are necessities for the employees who are older inyears of service. It seems that familiarity with a job breeds contempt or blind spots to the job's hazards. The contact plan and refresher training appear to be important answers. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION PROGRAM The physical fitness policy of the company seems to be bearing fruit. Compensating for discovered handicaps in older employees by proper job placement has been beneficial. Where back x-rays of new employees have been made, a definite drop of back claims has been noted. Recheck examinations of absent employees due to sickness and injury have been helpful. Those employees exposed to toxic materials have been periodically examined. Yearly physical and x-ray examinations are recommended and made for those employees exposed to silica or asbestos dust. Aluminum dust therapy has been continued at Creighton and Ford City. Careful systemic checks are made of chemical and paint plant employees who are exposed to toxic materials. Constantly adding new plants and new materials in these areas have served to make management more aware of the necessity for constant vigilance in testing atmospheric concentrations and the physical effects on those exposed. INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE Having a membership in the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of Mellon Institute is invaluable. We are constantly using the Foundation's testing facilities and referring matters of toxicity of newly acquired chemicals to this organization. Studies of specific problems are being made by this group at the present time. -3- SL 104182 Pull cooperation is given state industrial hygiene departments when investigation requests are made, FIRE PREVENTION HtOGRAM Constantly carrying on fire prevention and good housekeeping programs is a must if we want to avoid costly fires and explosions. The Insurance Department will soon issue a report of fires and their costs in 1958, but we would hazard a guess that most plants have improved in this respect in the past year. Checking monthly fire equipment inspection and fire brigade drill reports is a routine function with us. However, only the plants can control unsafe fire hazard practices to keep insurance inspectors from citing them. Following up and analyzing such insurance recommendations is certainly required if we plan to avoid being burned out of business. Fire prevention Is fire protection. Being equipped with extinguishers, fire hose and brigades is worthless unless we know how t o use them in an emergency. It is realistic to train every employee in the use of the proper extinguisher, how to turn in an alarm and the proper handling of sprinkler controls. Too, it is a good idea for everyone to know how to cover and salvage raw and finished goods in the event of water or fire emergencies. And remember to keep your local fire department informed of your plant layout regarding hazards and equip ment. EMERGENCY CONTROL HIOGRAMS Columbia-Southern plants have made real strides in their programs. All division plants would do well to have a basic disaster control program. We never know when floods, hurricanes, tornadoes or plant disasters may strike. Much peace of mind could be had if a plan of response was in effect in every plant in the company. Quite likely, public assistance is inadequate if those who know the plant processes are not available. SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM Over 5,000 pamphlets or booklets are sent to all locations monthly. This has had an impact on our passenger car and truck drivers to the extent that our accident rate is quite in line. When the completed figures are available, a detailed report will be published. In the meantime, complacency will not continue good results. Only a constant awareness of the problem and continuing action in safe driving campaigns will be effective. SAFETY FILMS Our library of safety films for all phases of safety activity is being used extensively. More use could be made of this service by requesting films for all forms of educational activities. Using the available films in merchandising and plant sales meetings would bring about beneficial results. Although we are adding films to our library constantly, we will be pleased to advise where to obtain any film which we may not have. ACCIDENTS IN 1959 The record in 1958, definitely not as good as 1957, stands as a challenge in 1959. The figures and charts in the following pages of this report should point up the need for bolstering individual unit weaknesses. We recommend that -h - SL 104183 each organization manager examine the record carefully with the idea of adding to and stepping up the safety program in 1959. It will take a sincere interest and stimulated action to equal or better the "all time" fr quency and severity results of 1957. Ve plan to visit and service plant locations in 1959, as much, if not more often than in 1958. Our aim is to be of service at all times and we appreciate the opportunity to help when our services are requested. Please accept our appreciation for the fine cooperation you have extended to us over the years. Such cooperation on your part makes the job of safety a genuine pleasure and continued interest in 1959 should surely bring its accident experience below that of the all time record of 1957. Together, we can do it. Sincerely, CCR/kg Attachments Safety and Plant Protection -5 - SL 104184 PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY Industrial Injury Report YEAR-1958 FREQUENCY P. P. G. CO.
