VINYL CHLORIDE SAFETY MEETING 1991 Data Base of Presentations to the VCSA over the last 12 yrs J.R.Wallace Phone (519) 869 4329. Fax (519) 869 6979 Over the last 12 Years, for many of these years as secretary of the association, I have accumulated detailed notes of the meetings,and while appreciating the need for confidentiality regarding the discussions, feel that the effort and Member Company time which has gone into presentations need not be wasted. To this end, a brief resume of each presentation has been incorporated in a simple database. As an example of the retrieval of useful data presented, a search was made using the following report filter. This filter prints only records in which pressure - "y"- are concerned with reactor pressure control - "y" - concern control incident ** "n" - are not "true confessions" survey -"n" - are not surveys of industry practice With this, 9 items were reported as shown, covering risk analyses and measures to control pressure without venting to atmosphere. As a minimum. The names and Company adresses of the presenters should be a valuable resource. A report of this type could easily be obtained by sending me a fax request with a return number. The people entitled to such a report and the detail to be included require discussion, perhaps by the Current Committee. Some payment would also be needed to maintain the service. 2 ITEM: 800200 EQUIP: N.INCIDENT: N,RISKANAL: Y.SURVEY: N,LABOUR: N,REGULATION: N.INST: N AGITATN: Y.CAT: N.POWER: Y.PUBLIC: N,STORAGE: N.TRANSPORT: N.WASTES: N EXPLOSION: N,FAILURE: N,FIRE: N,INJURY: N,PRESSURE: Y.REACTION: Y,RELEASE: Y CONTROL: Y,MEASURE: N,PREVENT: Y,PENALTY: N,PROGRAM: N,TRAIN: N.REPORT: N NAME: T.Moore ,HANDOUT: N AREA: RV ADRESS: Tenneco.Box 849,Pasadena TEX 17501 TITLE: VCM Emission Controls and redundancy RESULTS: One or more backups for all ops.
