CHOCOLATE BAYOU PLANT SAFETY PROGRAM
PURPOSE
This procedure re-affirms the Monsanto safety policy, defines respon sibility for safety, and outlines the general safety program for the Chocolate Bayou Plant.
POLICY
It is the policy of Monsanto that every employee is entitled to a safe and healthful place in which to work. To this end, every rea sonable effort will be made in the interest of accident prevention, fire protection, and health preservation.
It is also acknowledged that all efforts in Monsanto are directed toward a favorable position in our free-competition economy. Monsanto management and, in particular, those who direct the Chocolate Bayou operation avow that the safety and welfare of all employees must be maintained in order to achieve this purpose. In order to produce quality products at optimum quantities and minimum cost, reasonable procedures and regulations have been es tablished. These together with continual safety educational ef forts, and firm, fair administration will necessarily result in a safe plant.
.Vis-tHl*?- *
RESPONSIBILITIES
All employees share in the responsibility for the continual safe
operation of the Chocolate Bayou Plant. This responsibility is distributed as follows:
A. Line Organizations
1. The Individual Employee by virtue of his employment assumes a definite responsibility for his personal safety as well as for the safety of his co-workers. He is charged with observing all accident prevention regulations as a direct job responsibility.
It is recognized that the formal safety efforts of plant management will be ineffective without the personal acceptance by all of safety as "a way of life". Conformity to safety procedures and the development of safe working habits together with concern for the "other fellow" are the greatest contributions an employee can make in furthering

our safety effort. This contribution is evidenced by employees who continually use the required protective and safety equipment, routinely follow specific pro cedures, participate in safety programs, submit sug gestions to their supervisors, and actively strive for correction of plant hazards.
o
Each employee has the authority and the RESPONSIBILITY to initiate corrective action for unsafe practices and conditions of which he is aware. This will normally involve notification of his supervisor or the concerned supervisor. In cases where an immediate injury or equip ment damage is eminent, he must act immediately and then refer the problem and the action taken to his supervisor or the responsible supervisor.
2. Supervisory employees are directly responsible for the safety of operations under their control and for the personal safety of every employee under their super vision. This responsbility cannot be shared with any staff organiztion nor shifted laterally in any manner.
3. A supervisor is specifically responsible for:
a. Developing safety procedures and regulations specific to his area of responsibility.
b. Securing conformity to these as well as to all plantwide safety procedures. This job is made easier by:
1. Setting a good example to all his employees. 2. Establishing firm, equitable standards of
performance. 3. Listening to employees' suggestions and
answering them promptly. 4. Preparing effective departmental safety
training and educational programs. 5. Investigating all injuries, thereby evidencing
sincerity. 6. Maintaining departmental safety check lists
and inspection records of safety equipment. 7. Seeking the assistance of staff personnel in
aiding their departmental safety program.

The fire/spill alarm is activated by the telephone system, dial "77" and the proper area code. As the last number of the code is dialed the alarm will start sounding, also the security officer at the main gate will be able to talk to you and get some information as to the problem. In this manner should the alarm be false the security officer can relay to the Safety Department that it was false and avoid alot of confusion. The proper code for a particular area can be found on:

vehicles will also be allowed to operate but need permission from either the Safety Department or Night Supervisor. If the diesel switch engine is in the plant it will be the responsibility of the Distribution Department to insure it is shutdown. All open flame and spark producing work and machinery must be stopped. Smoking must be stopped in all areas (offices included).
All entries into the plant during alarm must be cleared through the Emergency Coordinator at the Main Gate, extension
Depending upon the seriousness of the problem other precautions^ may have to be taken. Wind direction will be a determing facto!
as to what must be done if there is a major spill or toxic vapo| release. It may be necessary to shutdown open flame heaters which would effect the operation of the unit or entire plant. ____ Immediate notification by the unit to exposed personnel in nearby operating areas or shops should be made by either radio or telephone. All information as to the emergency action or "|piirl:r
evacuation should be reported to the Safety Superintendent or Night Supervisor at the Main Gate by using the emergency telephone 4222. The Fire Safety Inspector in charge of the emergency will be involved in the decision for whatever action^
is necessary for control of the problem. The Fire Safety Inspector is the main link of communication with the Safety Supervisor, ... Safety Superintendent or Night Supervisor.
All personnel who are not members of the emergency response
?
team or operating personnel of the areas involved must stay
away, and if in the area must get out and remain at a safe
distance. If in a unit with sign in tags and you are unable
to leave through the Control Room, you or your supervisor
should contact the unit or main gate so you can be accounted for.
Work in an area may be resumed as soon as it has been determined it is safe and not affected by the fire or spill. The Safety Superintendent or Night Supervisor should be contacted at the main gate, extension 4301 to assist in this decision. It will be necessary for the operating personnel to resign the permits. Smoking may also be resumed in areas not affected.

DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT
The opening paragraph should be a summary statement of the incident itself stating the extent of injuries and/or damage to equipment, who was injured if applicable (functional job descriptions, not names) and the where, when, what and how of the incident. This should be v followed by a brief chronological description of the events occurring-^ and conditions existing just prior to, during and following the accident that are related to the accident or that will assist in giving a clearer understanding of the nature of the occurrence. This : should be given in summary and limited to a statement of facts only;
not conclusions drawn as a result of unsubstantiated theories.
CAUSE
The prime cause, as determined by the investigating committee, that was responsible for the accident should be covered in this section. Only those secondary causes, if any, that the committee feels wefe critically important should be listed and labeled "secondary causes". (The listing of secondary causes tends to dilute emphasis on the prime cause.)
RECOMMENDATIONS
These recommendations should be the result of the investigation by the committee making this report. Only measures to correct both the direct cause and contributing causes to the accident should be covered. If corrections are already made or underway, this should be reflected in the report. Completion dates and assignments of responsibility to Superintendents will be included in this section. Assigning of joint responsibility should be avoided for clarity. Recommendations should be specific and realistic and should avoid generalizations such as "be more careful", "pay attention", etc. When recommending "reviewing" of

INSTRUCTIONS OF THE CHAIRMAN OF INVESTIGATION COMMITTEES
1. Selected chairman will meet with the Superintendent or Manager immediately following the incident requiring investigation to receive a general outline of what is expected as committe chairman.
2. The chairman should read Safety Procedure SP-005.
3. The chairman should not edict his opinions or allow individuals - reviewing/approving the report to do so with the committee members. He should use his conference leadership techniques in guiding the committee in their activities. The interest is.in using group dynamics to determine cause and corrective action for specific incident.
4. It is important that the committee determine the true facts of "what happened" and what can be done to prevent similar or related incidents in the future.
5. Frequently, errors in judgement or failure of individuals to follow established procedures are involved in am incident. These occurrences should not be "whitewashed". They should be recognized by the committee and noted in the report. However, it is important to speak to "what" was done and not speak to "who" did it.
6. The key committee function is to identify the prime cause of the incident. This prime cause should be identified in the report. Any other secondary contributing factors which the committee feels critically important should also be listed, but they should be labeled as secondary factors and should be minimized.
7. The committee's "recommendations" should deal with the prime cause of the accident. Secondary contributing factors and any other safety lessons that have been identified may be listed if they are relevant and important. Recommendations should be as specific as possible. It should not be assumed that plant supervision knows what "standard procedures" or "safe working practices" are. Make reference to specific procedure numbers, plant safety guides, or any other known documents. Describe the actual "do's" and "don'ts" the committee has identified in the incident. Keep in mind that supervision across the plant will be reading these recommendations and trying to relate them to our overall safety program. Make the recommendations meaningful and applicable.

BYPASSING AND TESTING PROTECTIVE DEVICES
PURPOSE
revised} Define the control measures to reduce losses due to bypassed or malfunctioning | protective devices.
POLICY
No protective devices will be intentionally bypassed or made Inoperative without providing adequate alternate protectiont continuing communication that the device is bypassed, and approval from authorized supervision.
All protective devices will be routinely tested to assure operability.
SCOPE
This procedure applies to any department (operating unit, laboratory or facility) which must use protective devices to minimize loss or control conditions that affect the safety of personnel and equipment. Examples of protective devices are shutdown devices, interlocks, alarms, relief valves, vents, back-flow preventers, etc.
> i-
RESPONSIBILITY
The responsibility for control of protective device bypassing and the routine testing of protective devices rests with the owning department at the level of manufacturing superintendent or FT group supervisors as the case may be. Authorization for bypassing protective devices will not be delegated to lower levels of supervision by the manufacturing superintendent or PT group supervisor.
Each department will be responsible for providing the necessary internal procedure to implement the control of bypassing and testing protective devices along the guidelines established in the procedure. Records of bypassing and testing of protective devices will be maintained by the owning department of facility.
PROCEDURE A. Bypassing Protective Devices
revised
In the event that a protective device must be taken out of service,, it will
be the responsibility of authorized supervision to approve its removal from
service.
For purposes of this procedure temporarily altering a safety device setpoint
(vibration switch, P.S.Y., safety Interlock, etc.) either above or below a
previously specified valve or altering an.activation point controlled through
a computer system (such as modicon or provox) will be classified as bypassing
that safety device.

B. Routine Checking off Protective Devices
In order to minimize the loss potential resulting from inoperable protective devices, each department (operating unit, laboratory or facility) will define and implement programs for testing the oper ability of these devices. These tests may be either operational checks or based on preventive maintenance programs, depending upon individual circumstances, but should be sufficiently frequent to assure that the device will function when needed.
Bach department having block valves located under relief valves will take
the following precautions to insure relief valves are not inadvertently
blocked out of service. These precautions will also be taken for block jit?
valves located in vent lines when the vent line serves as relief
protection for the equipment such as vessels normally operating at
atmospheric pressure.
j&iL
1. Maintain a current checklist showing location and status of block valves beneath relief valves, or in vent lines used for relief protection. Use the checklist on a regular basis (monthly is suggested) to physically verify block valve status.
2. Block valves will be car sealed in the open 'or normal position.
3. These block valves will be painted yellow for proper coding.

INVESTIGATION.AND REPORTING OF SIGNIFICANT INJURIES, NEAR-MISSES, FIRES AND SPILLS
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE CHAIRMAN OF INVESTIGATION COMMITTEES
1. Selected chairman will meet with the Superintendent or Manager immediately following the incident requiring investigation to receive a general outline of what is expected as committe chairman.
2. The chairman should read Safety Procedure SP-005.
3. The chairman should not edict his opinions or allow individuals
reviewing/approving the report to do so with the committee
members. He should use his conference leadership techniques in
guiding the committee in their activities. The interest is.in
*
using group dynamics to determine cause and corrective action for
specific incident;
4. It is important that the committee determine the true facts of "what happened" and what earn be done to prevent similar or related incidents in the future.
5. Frequently, errors in judgement or failure of individuals to follow established procedures are involved in an incident. These occurrences should not be "whitewashed". They should be recognized by the committee and noted in the report. However, it is important to speak to "what" was done and not speak to "who" did it.
6. The key committee function is to identify the prime cause of the incident. This prime cause should be identified in the report. Any other secondary contributing factors which the committee feels critically important should also be listed, but they should be labeled as secondary factors and should be minimized.
7. The committee's "recommendations" should deal with the prime cause of the accident. Secondary contributing factors and any other
safety lessons that have been identified may be listed if they are relevant and important. Recommendations should be as specific as possible. It should not be assumed that plant supervision knows what "standard procedures" or "safe working practices* axe. Make reference to specific procedure numbers, plant safety guides, or any other known documents. Describe the actual "do's" and "don'ts"
the committee has identified in the incident. Keep in mind that supervision across the plant will be reading these recommendations and trying to relate them to our overall safety program. Make the recommendations meaningful and applicable.

BYPASSING AND TESTING PROTECTIVE DEVICES
PURPOSE
revisedf Define the control measures to reduce losses due to bypassed or malfunctioning { protective devices.
POLICY
No protective devices will be intentionally bypassed or made Inoperative without providing adequate alternate protection, continuing communication that the device is bypassed, and approval from authorized supervision.
All protective devices will be routinely tested to assure operability.
SCOPE
fS jd.ft.
This procedure .applies to any department (operating unit, laboratory or facility) which must use protective devices to minimize loss or control conditions that affect the safety of personnel and equipment. Examples of protective devices are shutdown devices. Interlocks, alarms, relief valves, vents, back-flow preventers, etc.
RESPONSIBILITY
The responsibility for control of protective device bypassing and the routine testing of protective devices rests with the owning department at the level of manufacturing superintendent or PT group supervisors as the case
may be. Authorization for bypassing protective devices will not be delegated to lower levels of supervision by the manufacturing superintendent or PT group supervisor.
Each department will be responsible for providing the necessary internal procedure to implement the control of bypassing and testing protective devices along the guidelines established in the procedure. Records of bypassing and testing of protective devices will be maintained by the owning department of facility.
PROCEDURE
A. Bypassing Protective Devices
revised
In the event that a protective device must be taken out of service,. it will
be the responsibility of authorized supervision to approve its removal from
service.
For purposes of this procedure temporarily altering a safety device setpoint
(vibration switch, P.S.V., safety Interlock, etc.) either above or below a
previously specified valve or altering an.activation point controlled through
a computer system (such as modicon or provox) will be classified as bypassing
that safety device.

B. Routine Checking of Protective Devices
In order to minimize the loss potential resulting from inoperable protective devices, each department (operating unit, laboratory or facility.) will define and implement programs for testing the oper ability of these devices. These tests may be either operational checks or based on preventive maintenance programs, depending upon individual circumstances, but should be sufficiently frequent to assure that the device will function when needed.
Each department having block valves located tinder relief valves will take the following precautions to insure relief valves are not inadvertently blocked out of service. These precautions will also be taken for block valves located in vent lines when the vent line serves as relief protection for the equipment such as vessels normally operating at atmospheric pressure.
.
' 1. Maintain a current checklist showing location and status of block valves beneath relief valves, or in vent lines used for relief protection. Use the checklist on a regular basis (monthly is suggested) to physically verify block valve status.
2. Block valves will be car sealed in the open'or normal position.
3. These block valves will be painted yellow for proper coding.

FIRE PERMITS AND VESSEL ENTRY/FIRE PERMITS
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define work requiring a Fire Permit or Vessel Entry/Fire Permit and to define the requirements and procedure for issuing such permits.
SCOPE
This procedure applies to work performed in the fenced plant and the cross-country pipelines which might provide a source of ignition and/or require entry into a vessel.
POLICY
Work requiring Fire Permits or Vessel Entry/Fire Permit should be done only if no alternate, safer means of accomplishing the same end result is available. Each request for a permit should be ex amined critically to determine if the same work can be done without the use of ignition sources, vehicles or without having personnel enter the vessel. Only if no other method exists, or the alternate method is totally impractical, should a permit be issued.
PROCEDURE
The permits covered by this procedure are Fire Permits and Vessel Entry/Fire Permits. Either of these two permits may or may not be a "special" permit. The requirements for the types of permits are described below:
1. A Fire Permit (see Attachment #2) is required for all ignition
producing operations that are not a part of a vessel Entry/Fire Permit in the following locations:
a. All hazardous areas described as Division I or Division II as shown on Drawing No. 340EE1 (Attachment #1) except control buildings and except the Distribution tank truck loading rack where it is impractical to issue a permit to each truck.
b. Any non-harardous area as shown on Drawing 340EE1, any
approved open area, or any other undesignated area where
ignition producing operations are being done on a closed
vessel or pipe, contaminated equipment, or near flammable
liquids or gases. This does not include natural gas lines
or acetylene bottles in maintenance shops.

FIRE PERMITS AND VESSEL ENTRY/FIRE PERMITS
Fire permit work on the inside of a vessel.
d. Open flame work to be done onthe outside shell of a vessel.
Entry of vessels which cannot be done without Baking exceptions of certain precautions as stated in the section entitled "Comments" later in this procedure.'
f. Entry of a vessel by a group not doing Special Permit work where another group is doing Special Permit work.
Work on or. in close proximity to energized circuits, 480 volts (277 volts phase to ground) and higher. i h. Open flame work, or use of internal combustion engines/ vehicles in "pump alleys" handling flammable materials. The "pump alleys" or other areas requiring Special Permits will be identified by the Manufacturing Department.
Use inside a vessel* of equipment requiring greater than 32 volt electrical supply.
j. Operation of lifting equipment near high voltage lines. (Procedure SP-022 applies.)
Exceptions (Ordinary Fire Permit Required)
a. Steam, water,* or steam condensate piping 2" or less in diameter where length from the last closed block valve to the open end of the pipe does not exceed 6' and the stain header on the other side of the block valve is pressured.
Steam tracing with block valves closed from sources of .pressure, provided the tracing is a minimum of 8" from
any process or utility line and depressured.
Sandblasting of process piping not containing cumene hydroperoxide, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, oxygen, and acetylenic compounds.
Hot bolting (removing every other flange bolt) with an impact wrench which may be done on a regular Fire Permit if the line or equipment has been depressured.

6. Welding may require two permits - one at the machine and one at the work. The same idea applies for other internal combustion engines. Locating the welding machine or engines out of a
classified area (see Attachment #1) will eliminate the need for one permit. The Shift Foreman will specify the location of
welding machines, engines or similar machines which must be located in a classified area. One permit will be sufficient for
machines grouped together in a classified area. Machines should be shutdown when work is discontinued for personnel breaks, etc.
7. Operating personnel are required to issue permits to themselves as well as to maintenance and other personnel.
8. All permits throughout the plant are automatically cancelled when a fire alarm sounds. Prior to the all-clear in areas outside the emergency area, and after the Shift Foreman has determined that
work can be resumed safely. Processors may re-issue permit by signing them. In the emergency area itself, this authority cannot be delegated before the all-clear has sounded. After the all-clear, permits may be re-issued by Processor signature.
COMMENTS
'
No procedures can be written which would cover all precautions necessary to make a job safe, but the following paragraphs are intended as a list of items to be considered when issuing permits.
1. Sewers are a constant fire hazard. Therefore, sewer openings in the vicinty (within 35 feet) of open flame work must be tightly covered and protected against slag and sparks. This can be accomplished by: sealing sewer openings with plastic sheeting and sand; sealing with plastic sheeting and water;
or purging with a generous flow of steam.
2. Suitable protection should be considered for each job requiring a permit. Such protection includes, but is not limited tO:
fire protection equipment, fire containment blankets, a fire watch, etc. The permit should state these precautions.
3 All piping vessels which have contained flammables or which
might have become hazardous through contamination with flammables
must be isolated and decontaminated before a permit is issued;
otherwise a Special Permit is required.

5. When spark-producing work is to be done (cutting torch, welding, etc.) special consideration must be given to containing the sparks to as small an area as possible. Consideration of proxi
mity to possible fuel sources, amount of sparks produced and worker safety should all be taken into account.
6. Decontamination does not necessarily eliminate the need for
special protective equipment, such as air masks, respirators goggles, lift lines, or other equipment which is considered necessary for the safety of the job by the operating foreman. Safety harnesses and/or wristlets with lift lines attached should be worn when entering a vessel. Wristlets only should be used if the vessel opening is too small to permit removal of a man with a safety harness. Safety harnesses and wristlets are not practical in certain situations such as where the vessel internals will not allow pulling a man out or in the case of bottom entry with the man working on a scaffold inside the vessel.
7. Before any tank, tower or other vessel containing flammable material is pumped out by means of portable equipment:
a. The portable equipment must be electrically grounded and bonded to the vessel.
Strong consideration should be given to the use of hard
piping in making the connection between the vessel.and
portable equipment. In the event that the use of hard
piping is impractical, SP-010 must be followed in select
ing, testing and using a hose system, r
P 0~5^>
.8 'Hot Taps" are permissible only as a last risort in case of
emergency or when the expense of isolation and decontamination is unreasonable, and then only with a Special Permit. The metal
thickness and condition of the .equipment to be "hot tapped" must be checked by the Materials Technology Section prior to perform ing the work. All "hot taps" on lines must be approved by the
General Superintendent in charge of the line. Lines which should not be "hot tapped" are compressed air, cumene hydropero xide, chlorine, ethylene over 450 psi find 155F., hydrogen cyanide, oxygen, hydrogen, caustic, butadiene, acetylenic compounds. Mo welding is to be done on any carbon steel or low alloy lines where the operating temperature is below 70F. with out prior consultation with the Materials Technology Department.
Work on or in close proximity to energized circuits of 480 volts
(277 volts to ground) will be done only as a last resort, in an
emergency, or when no other practical method exists, and then
only under a "Special Permit".

14.
Driving or extracting piling using a crane causes unusually high stress to be placed on the crane boom and associated equipment. For this reason special consideration should be given to such things as type of equipment used, placement of equipment and personnel while doing this type of work. Also, special consideration should be given to the possibility of underground piping, wiring, etc. being in the way of the piles being driven. (Underground drawings may not be complete.) In most cases a special job safety analysis should be conducted before doing this type work.
15. For work covered by a vessel entry permit a ground fault inter
ruption device must be used with any equipment requiring greater than 32 volt power source.
SITUATIONS NOT COVERED
Situations not covered by this procedure must be approved by the concerned general superintendent.

USE AMD CQBTEOL OF BOSES
PP1POSE
Dm of hoMi In chemical process applications Is undesirable relative to fined piping. The objective oust be to eliminate the uaa of hoses whenever practical.
This procedure provides a systematic means of controlling use of flexible hoses when they are found necessary. The control approach ..used Includes specifying hose testing methods, testing frequency and record keeping.
POLICY
The control system set forth In this procedure provides guidelines based on very minimum needs. Individual department requirements may call for more stringent or more frequent testing and Inspection. The very nature of hose systems dictates the need for over-control rather than under-control, and approaches In this direction are encouraged. Hose uses must be reviewed In departmental biennial safety audits and uses eliminated wherever practical.
SCOPE
Under this procedure hoses have been classified Into three groups:
Group I Includes all hoses In chemical or oil (process) service.
Group II Includes all hoses In air. water, nitrogen or steam service.
Group III Includes specialized hoses such as those used in automobiles or In a laboratory.
Group I hoses generally result In the most severe or hazardous consequences If a failure occurs. Flexible connections In permanent piping systems (expansion joints, "chicsan"(flexible elbow type) joints, bellows, etc.) are covered in piping specifications and not in this procedure.
Boses used and provided by contractors performing specific services
(i.e., vacuum trucks, hoses supplied by tank truck carriers, contractor
add washing, etc.) are covered by this procedure. In the areas where
full compliance Is not currently practical or controllable, the owning
department and/or Maintenance is expected to develop approaches which
will result in eventual compliance. The best practical alternate approaches (Monsanto ownerships, rigid pipe, on-site testing and
_ _^
C 001.559
Inspection, etc.) should be used in the interim. The Monsanto

HOSE SAPETT
Undsr alaost all circuastancss bosss and hoss systsas will not have the physical Integrity of rigid pips systsas. This fact In itself indicates a need for extra precautions In handling hoses. The following general guidelines are provided as a help In avoiding daaage to hose systsas:
A. Avoid sharp bends by Beans of suitable supports or hose routing; especially avoid kinking any kind of hose. The fabric or aetal braid will frequently break or deteriorate when subjected to low radius bends. (Bote: A ainlaua bend radius
Is published for aany hoses in hose catalogs.)
B. Avoid exterior daaage to hoses such as cuts, bruises, abrasions, chaffing, or chemical attack.
C. Hever use a hose In any service other than that specifically stated for the hose. Chemical attack can occur in aany forns and rcaain undetected until failure.
0. Avoid use of hoses where a hose aerely nakes for easier piping connections. In general, no hose will 100Z substitute for rigid piping.
E. The difference in hazards between suction hoses, open ended discharge hoses and pressure hoses Is an important consideration in hose selection.

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
PURPOSE
To define the responsibilities and procedures related to the disposal of the plant solid wastes.
POLICY
The disposal of the plant solid wastes will be done in accordance with the requirements set out by the Texas Water Quality Board and will be consistent with Monsanto policies regarding health, safety, and housekeeping.
SCOPE
Solid wastes are definied as those solid and semisolid materials that are not salvageable for reasons of a contaminated condition or com position and, therefore, must be disposed of. The waste will consist of catalyst, process sludge, miscellaneous containers, equipment, lumber, concrete, glass, etc. This procedure applies to solid wastes only and is intended to be used in conjunction with O&P Procedures No. GP-0304 and SP-029 relating to salvage and scrap materials respectively.
RESPONSIBILITIES
CBY 3109700
The Environmental Control Department is responsible for regulating the disposal of the plant solid wastes to assure compliance, with requirements of the Texas Water Quality Board regulations. The Environmental Control Department must maintain records on the quantity, character, classification, and disposal location of all Class I and Class II wastes (See Attachment #3). These records must be kept for three (3) years and be available for inspection by the Texas Water ..Quality Board. At the option of the TWQB, an annual report may be requested summarizing this information.
The waste generator will be responsible for developing the data necessary for Environmental Control to obtain the waste classifica tion. Environmental Control will obtain a waste classification from the TWQB for wastes routinely sent out for off-site disposal.
Environmental Control will insure that waste leaving the plant is
disposed of in a site authorized, registered, or permitted by the
Health Resources Department or the TWQB.
^ 001590
Solid waste disposal can be subdivided into off-site disposal and
on site disposal

2. Prior approval for solid waste disposal must be obtained from Environmental Control Day Supervision during regular hours (0800-1630, Monday - Friday). The Night Supervisor will perform these responsibilities on off-shifts. However, every effort should be made for disposal on day shift. ' When large volumes (more than one dump truck load) of wastes are to be disposed of, three (3) working days notice will be necessary for site pre-
, paration to receive the material.
3. ^
.
A "Request for Solid Waste Disposal" form (Attachment #2) must be completed by the supervisor requesting disposal and the form must accompany the person disposing of the waste. The form will be turned over to the Environmental Control Board Processor. He will direct the person to the proper site (See Attachment #1) for disposal. Waste will not be sent to the disposal area without the completed "Request for Solid Waste Disposal" form. It is required that the description of the material (estimated weight, volume, or quantity) be indicated on the form. Blank copies of the "Request for Solid Waste Disposal" form are in Stores, stock MCB #272 (Revised 8/6/74).
4. Environmental Control will not accept solid waste while the plant is in area II or area III of the Hurricane Alert.
t 5. In order to enter the disposal site area, the person must ' sign the admission register and obtain a key to the disposal
site gate from the Environmental Control Board Processor.
6. When leaving the area, the gate must be closed and locked. The admission register, in the Environmental Control, control house must be signed, indicating your time in and out of the area. The key must be returned to the control house.

2. Process related wastes and contaminated materials' must not be placed in Plant trash
dumpsters. Each unit is responsible for enforcing this rule for their dumpster.
3. Units generating process related Class II wastes may be required to dispose of these materials off-site. Environmental Control will assist in making arrangements for an outside firm to receive the waste. Once the disposal process is established for a routine waste the generating unit will be responsible for day-to-day contacts with the transporter and disposer. The unit will be required to submit information to Environmental Control on quantity of each type of waste disposed of and the location of the disposal site for each waste load. This data is needed because it must be reported to the State.
F. Sale/Disposal of Empty Drums
Approved empty drums will be sold to an outside drum reprocessor. Non-approved empty drums will be crushed and sold as metal scrap or buried in the on-site Class landfill.
I
1. The generator must:
a) Decontaminate all empty drums by triple rinsing with a suitable solvent. (Steam or water may be used if it is effective in removing the residue in the drum),
b) Tag the drum as decontaminated,
c) Complete a "Request for Solid Waste Disposal" form including a description of what was in the drum prior to decontamination, and
d) Deliver the drums to the Solid Waste Processor in Environmental Control unless there is a large number of drums. In the event that the generator has a truck load or more of drums. Environmental Control may elect to have them picked up by the drum reprocessor at the unit where they were generated.

ISOLATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF PLANT EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to provide for a consistent approach to decontaminating and isolating equipment by establishing guidelines, defining responsibility, and outlining techniques of decontamination and isolation available.
POLICY
To insure the safety of personnel performing maintenance or other work by requiring that equipment and facilities to be inspected, repaired or modified, be isolated from the operating plant, and de contaminated to the maximum practical extent prior to starting the work. Isolation and decontamination should result in the ability to perform work with a minimum amount of risk of personal injury, using a practical degree of personal protective equipment.
DEFINITIONS
Isolation is the separation, blinding, or blocking of all lines or other connections leading into the piece of equipment so there is no possibility of leakage or accidental flow of contaminants from associated equipment into that system during or following decontami nation. When valves are used for isolation the valve handle must be secured in the safe position with a chain or special bracket so that the valve cannot be accidentally opened or moved to any degree
to allow leakage.
' --- ---------------------- ---------------------------
Decontamination is removal of chemicals until there is no reasonable possibility of an explosive, flammable or otherwise harmful (skin
contact or inhalation) concentration of chemicals remaining. A system will be considered to be contaminated until positive checks have been made to verify that it has been:
1. Drained and purged free of all chemicals, liquid flushings, or vapors which may be flammable, explosive, or otherwise harmful on skin contact or inhalation;
2. All toxic vapors will be purged down to the threshold -limit value (TLV) or lower.
RESPONSIBILITY
CBY 3109742
The overall safety responsibility for preparing for and carrying out repair work on process equipment rests jointly with Production and Maintenance.

l ISOLATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF PLANT EQUIPEMENT (Cont'd)
Determine what the exposure of the personnel performing the work will be in terms of potential hazards. Communicate potential hazards to those performing the work.
Production
Where isolation and/or decontamination can not be achieved, Main tenance Safety and Production supervision jointly assess risk and define required protective equipment and safety precautions.
DISCUSSION
Decontamination and isolation are important and highly technical safety functions in all process operations. Selection of the ap propriate method of isolation and decontamination can not be totally proceduralized except in special cases. Those persons involved in preparing equipment for Maintenance are responsible for exercising good judgment in carrying out isolation and de contamination to minimize the potential of personnel injury or equipment damage. Preparations should involve the following points:
A. Planning For Isolation and Decontamination
(
Each department will be responsible for developing and main taining decontamination plans and isolation diagrams (blind lists) on equipment and systems where applicable. Depending on the complexity of the equipment, the actual plan will vary . in detail. A checklist-type format can prove valuable for communication of the status of both isolation and decontami nation when these activities are extended over multiple shifts. Isolation and blinding lists should be checked periodically for completeness with special emphasis on small connections and other easily overlooked tie-ins to other process equipment, instruments, or test equipment.
Preparation of a work plan or written procedure for isolation and decontamination of any piece of equipment, or system, should include consideration of the following aspects of the job:
1. Contaminants and Level of Decontamination
What are the contaminants to be removed from the system?
To what level can the system be practically decontaminated
based on the work to be performed and exposure level of
the personnel?
What is the nature of the material: volatile, water
soluble, sludge, granular, etc.?
What are its relative hazards: toxic, corrosive, flammable
pyrophoric, radioactive, etc.?

locations be separated for confirmation? In equipment where we have past decontamination experience what conditions can we expect when decontamination is complete? Is testing done at the points least likely to be decontaminated? If entry is planned the oxygen level must be verified. Can deposits of sludge release contaminants after tests have been completed? Must the system be purged during vapor testing?
B. Decontamination
1. Degree of Decontamination
The level of decontamination is measured by the concentration of chemicals remaining in the equipment when it is cleared for Maintentance Work. The targeted level of decontamination for the various chemicals that may be encountered is zero. The maximum acceptable is based on the safety of personnel performing the work.
Wheiflammable chemicals are involved, the maximum level of decontamination is one where the flammable, when exposed to air, produces a mixture which is too lean to burn. To increase the assurance that a flammable mixture cannot exist when *hot work* is being performed, the level sought is one too low to register flammables on a combustible gas test instrument.
When toxic chemicals are involved, the maximum level permissible is the threshold limit value CTLV1. A toxic chemical is one which is capable of incapacitating personnel within minutes of exposure, TLV limits are conditions workers may be repeatedly exposed to every eight hour working day without harm. Portable vapor test devices which measure toxic chemical concentration in the ppm range should be used in testing. Consideration should be given to the degree of' actual exposure of the personnel performing the work in determining the maximum level of decontamination.
When corrosive chemicals are involved the target is complete removal of the chemical and the diluted flushings from the system, A corrosive chemical is one which will produce burns immediately on contact.
When vessel entry is planned following decontamination, tests will be made to Insure the system is free from harmful con
centrations of chemicals and contains adequate oxygen (20% by volume! with a continous fresh air supply.

equipment while flammables are present. Condensation of steam cam also create
9 vacuum that could suck the equipment in or draw air 'into the system.
Water Washing:
Used on chemicals that are water soluble or used as a carrier for loose solids trapped in the system. Can be used to "float" oils from low places in equipment. Is often used in flushing large quantities of. hydrocarbons or solids from equipment prior to final decontamination with steam or nitrogen. When decontaminating by water washing consideration should be given to the amount of flow through the system to insure adequate control and mixing. Following water washing, systems are normally drained or blown free of liquid to insure all contaminated water has been removed. Static electricity charges can produce sparks during washings.
Mechanical Cleaning
If large concentrations of sludge, scale or polymer are present, mechanical cleaning with high pressure jets such as those generated in line "moles" or Butterworth cleaning devices may be required prior to using conventional decontamination tech niques. Static electricity charges can produce sparks during cleaning.
Chemical Cleaning
Used when the deeming agents dissolve or suspend the solids or other contaminants present and carry them from the system.
Purging
When steam or water cannot be used,
systems may be freed of vapor-type
conteuninants by purging with inerts
such as nitrogen. Over a period of
time the nitrogen will sweep vapor

C. Isolation
1. Degree of Isolation
A properly isolated system is one in which there is no possibility of in-leakage of gas, vapor or other materials from associated equipment during or after the decontami nation process.
The techniques used to prevent chemicals from contaminating a system either undergoing decontamination or maintenance vary from the most positive isolation techniques - blinding or pipe spool removal; to the least positive - a closed secured or unsecured block valve.
The seriousness of the consequences of any leakage into
the system undergoing maintenance determines the degree
of isolation required. Hot work, vessel entry, and work
on systems which contain highly toxic, corrosive, or
otherwise hazardous materials will normally require the
most positive isolation techniques available to insure the
safety of those performing the work (refer to SP- 019 for
Eire-, and Vessel Entry Permits),. .
2. Isolation Methods.
CBY 3109750
Methods of isolation available with considerations for the application of each are:
Line Disconnect:
The most positive means of isolation. Involves disconnecting lines, removing valves or sections of pipe, and when necessary, blinding the open ends of these lines. Is carried out after the line has been depressured and de inventoried to the extent that flanges can be safely opened.
Blinding
The most common positive method of
isolation. Involves installation of
a blank plate (blind) between flanges
to block any leakage. Blinds are in serted with a gasket on the side which requires a positive seal. Where venting is desirable to prevent pres
sure accumulation, spacers are
installed.

ISOLATION AND DECONTAMINATION OF PLANT EQUIPMENT (Cont'd)
3. Securing Valves
isolation/ involves inserting plugs, sealing plates into the line dr equip ment opening. Inflatable bags are not to be used unless no other alternatives to stoppling exist. Where the con sequences of failure or leakage of the stopple device are serious, -special purging precautions may be required. (See SP-023)
To insure the integrity of an isolated system; i.e., that none of the valves used in the isolation can be accidently opened or moved to any degree to allow leakage, the isolation valves .must, be secured in a safe position. The method used to secure valve handles should accomplish two purposes:
a. It should restrain the handle's movement to the extent that it cannot be opened through vibration, accidental manual operation, or through accidental striking against the handle.
b. It should clearly identify the valve to be one being used for isolation of a specific item of equipment.
Preventing valve movement is accomplished by restraining the valve handle with a chain or special bracket. Production secures the valves while the equipment is being isolated. Where the valve's movement is critical in terms of job safety; the effectiveness of the valve "Lockout" should be tested by attempting to move the valve. Caution should be exercised as some valve designs such as globe valves can be unseated with a minimum of handle movement.
Valves used for isolation purposes will be equipped with an Isolation/Lockout tag (.attachment I) to prevent acci dental operation. The'tag will be yellow with black lettering.
Locks are not required to secure valves being used for isolation; however, they may be used, if necessary, by Production or Maintenance personnel.

MOBILE LIFTING EQUIPMENT SAFETY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to establish a safety quideline to operating all mobile lifting equipment.
SCOPE
This procedure covers all Maintenance personnel (Monsanto and Contract) performing this function and all motor cranes, carry deck cranes, (Cranes, go-devils, cherry pickers). This procedure does not cover forklifts, manual hoists or line trucks.
RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of the Maintenance Foreman to insure that all operators of the equipment are thoroughly trained in the operation of the equipment and the contents of this procedure. It is the responsibility of each person performing this function to follow the guidelines.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Go-Devils and Cherry Pickers will be driven at a safe operating speed. This means that the operator must be confident he is in complete control of the vehicle at all times. Operating speed, therefore, will be reduced to allow for weather, road conditions, congested areas, etc. When moving mobile equipment through congested areas sound horn at appropriate intervals to alert everyone in the area to the presence of the equipment.
If the equipment is not furnished with a back up alarm continuous short horn blasts should be used when operating in reverse. It is the sole responsibility of the operator to use good judgment and run this equipment in a safe manner at all times.
2. The following safety rules apply to all go-devils and cherry pickers that have removable cage type platforms installed on the rear.
A. No more than three men may ride in a cage platform at one time.
B. Men must stand on floor decking or platforms and use handrails.
C. Sitting on handrails is not permitted.
D. Riding on mobile equipment in any other manner than listed above is prohibited. CBY 3109764

3.- DO NOT operate machines with worn, broken or frayed cables. Visually inspect cables frequently and replace any damaged cables.
B. Operations
REVISED 1.
Outriggers should be set before lifting. Outriggers on cherry pickers should be lowered to grade until weight is removed
from tires and machine! leveled to safely handle the weight it was designed for. . |
2. Do not pull loads sideways with boom. Booms are not designed for pulling loads in this manner and may collapse if used as such.
REVISED 3.
Avoid working with extreme high boom position.- When determining required boom angle, consideration should be given to a sudden load release which might cause the boom to recoil over the cab.
4. NEVER leave the machine with a load suspended in the air. Cooling brakes or a malfunction may allow the load to lower on personnel and/or equipment.
5. Watch the flagman at all times. If you must look in another direction, stop operations immediately.
6. Keep boom at least 10* away from all overhead power lines and electrical apparatus. See SP-022.
7. Keep hands free of oil and/or grease.
8. Do not move any load until directed to do so by flagman. NEVER anticipate the flagman's signal.
REVISED 9. Keep load as low as possible at all times.
c . servicing
1. Check hydraulic fluid for adequate level for safe operations.
2. Make all adjustments to brakes and clutches promptly. Make sure all guards are replaced after completing adjustments.
3. Stop all operations before lubricating, deeming, and/or making adjustments. Be sure floors and footpedals are free of oil, grease and mud. Replace all guards after completion of work. Remove tools and store in proper place.

3. Combined storage of oxygen and flammable gas cylinders should be avoided where practical. When necessary to store 25 cylinders or more of a flammable gas, at least 25' of clearance shall be main tained to buildings housing personnel, cylinders of oxygen, or items which should be protected from a fire exposure. In cases where the required clearance cannot be realized, the presence of a separating fireproof partition will suffice. Cylinders kept on oxygen and acetylene cutting racks are specifically excepted.
4. Acetylene and liquified flammable gas cylinder shall be stored with the valve up.
5. To prevent rusting, cylinders stored in the open should be protected from direct contact with the ground.
6. Cylinders should not be stored near sources of heat, such as radiators and furnaces.
7. Cylinder storage should be planned so that cylinders will be used in the order in which they are received from the supplier.
8. Empty, in use, and full cylinders should be plainly identified to avoid confusion.
9. Group together cylinders which have held the same contents.
10. Storage rooms for cylinders containing flammable gases should be ventilated to prevent the accumulation of explosive concentration of gas. No source of ignition should be permitted.
11. Cylinders should be stored with the valves closed and the protection caps in place.
12. Cylinders should be stored in such a fashion as to prevent accidental tipping over of the cylinders.
Using Cylinders
1. Hoses are not permitted in any bottled gas system except as a temporary connection from a low pressure system (200 psig or less).

Close the valve and take the cylinder outdoors, well away from any source of ignition. A regulator attached to the valve may be used temporarily to stop a leak through the valve seat. If jthe leak occurs at a fuse plug or other safety device, take the cylinder outdoors, well away from any source of ignition, open the cylinder valve slightly, and permit the flammable gas to escape slowly, tag the cylinder plainly. Post warnings against approaching with sources of ignition. Promptly notify the supplier and follow his instruc tions for returning the cylinder.
12. Do not permit sparks, molten metal, electric currents, excessive heat or flames to come in contact with the cylinder or attachments.
13. Never use oil or grease as a lubricant on valves or attachments of oxygen cylinders. Keep oxygen cylinders and fittings away from oil and grease and do not handle such cylinders or apparatus; with oily hands, gloves or clothing.
14. Never use oxygen as a substitute for compressed air in pneumatic tools, in oil preheating burners, to start internal combustion engines, or to dust clothing. Use it only for the purpose for which it is intended.
15. Never bring cylinders into tanks or unventilated rooms.
16. Do not fill cylinders, attempt to mix gases in a compressed gas cylinder, or to use it for purposes other them those intended by the supplier.17
17. Check valves are to be installed on both the fuel gas and 02 cylinders of single welding units at the point where the torch hose connects to the pressure regulator it is also adviseable to install check valves on the hoses at the point where the torch is connected.

Regulators provided should be designed to withstand full cylinder pressure upstream and downstream of the regulator or the downstream side of the regulator must be provided with a suitable relief valve. It should be noted that the regulator can malfunction and full cylinder pressure can be experienced on the low pressure side of the regulator and the downstream system. If the downstream side of the regulator or the downstream system cannot withstand full cylinder pressure relief provisions must be made.
.9. Regulators and associated gauges and relief valves should be main tained in excellent working condition at all times. All regulators must have inlet and outlet pressure gauge.
10. The pressure adjusting screws should always work freely. If it is necessary to force the adjusting screw, the regulator should be replaced or repaired.
Manifolds
Bottled Gas Systems in Building
1. Low pressure manifolds (200 PSIG or Lower) for gases which are not toxic are permitted in all laboratory or experimental areas. However, piping access should follow a path outside of office areas or areas which normally house people.
2. High pressure manifolds (Above 200 PSIG) for gases which are not toxic are permitted in experimental or out buildings which are physically detached from office areas or areas which normally house people. High pressure manifolds are permitted in laboratory or experimental areas which are housed with offices or areas which normally house people only if piped directly.into a hood or enclosed ventilated area.

CRANE BASKETS, PERSONNEL TRANSPORTATION
PURPOSE
This procedure defines the conditions under which crane baskets may be used for personnel transportation and the safety precautions which must be taken.
SCOPE
This procedure applies to all Monsanto and contractor personnel performing work for the Maintenance Department.
DISCUSSION
Temporary access facilities available at Chocolate Bayou include portable ladders, stairs, platforms, scaffolds, cherry picker baskets and crane baskets. The crane basket may be used for personnel transportation only when other more conventional means are not practical. Examples are as follows: Where other means of access provide a greater hazard than crane basket utilization or where economics and/or timing have a significant safety or financial impact.
PROCEDURE
The following safety precautions must be taken before personnel are permitted to ride or work from crane baskets.
A Safety Audit will be conducted prior to execution of work which is to include completion of the suspended personnel work basket authorization form (Attachment #1).
Personnel will be transported only in crane baskets designed for that purpose and approved by Monsanto Personnel. (Engineering, Maintenance and M.T.S.)
Riding on loads Is strictly prohibited. Exceeding basket design load is strictly prohibited.
A tag line/lines will be used. (2)
A test lift is required consisting of four (4) times the intended load including the swing radius.
If a hydraulic crane is being used, the boom hoist cylinders and boom extension, or crowd cylinder, should be protected by pilot operated check valves. This will protect against sudden loss of fluid if a hydraulic hose should fail.

SCRAP MATERIALS DISPOSITION
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to define the responsibilities and objectives related to the disposition of scrap materials.
POLICY
All unwanted materials classified as scrap and not having any value greater than routine scrap and can feasibly be handled will be made available to Monsanto employees prior to disposition. Additionally, certain materials will be classified as scrap but because of their value potential, will require special handling and disposition; i.e., alloys. These materials will not be offered to Monsanto employees prior to disposal. Further, specific items such as unserviceable vehicles may be deemed as scrap and offered for sale to Monsanto employees.
. SCOPE
This procedure applies to the disposition of all materials classified as scrap except those items that cannot be adequately and sufficiently decontaminated (see Safety Procedure 013 for disposal instructions).
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Stores Superintendent will be responsible for the overall operation of the Scrap and Salvage Yard.
Individuals generating the scrap (primarily maintenance foreman and contractor super vision foreman) will be responsible for segregating and delivering the scrap materials to the Salvage Yard. The owning unit will be responsible for the decontamination and tagging (Decontamination Tag, MCB 041B) of equipment that has been in hazardous service prior to delivery to the Salvage Yard.
The Purchasing Agent is responsible for advertising any special scrap, e.g. vehicles, available to employees and for obtaining the best sales price for all scrap materials sold to junk dealers.
The Safety Department (Security Force) is responsible for opening and closing the Scrap Yard when it is opened for employees. They are also responsible for maintaining records of items removed.

STATIC GROUNDING & BONDING OF HYDROBLASTING EQUIPMENT AND OTHER PORTABLE EQUIPMENT
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to establish a method for grounding hydroblasting equipment and other portable equipment to prevent a static build-up.
SCOPE
This procedure covers static grounding of all hydrocleaning equip ment and other non-electrical portable or mobile equipment capable of generating static electricity.
RESPONSIBILITY
1. It is the responsibility of the department or contract personnel performing the work or using the equipment to make the ground connections.
2. It is the responsibility of Production Supervision to see that hydroblasting equipment and other portable or mobile equipment capable of generating static electricity is grounded. Production, after checking that ground wires are connected on hydroblasting equipment, will contact the Safety Department for resistance check before work is begun. Other portable or mobile equipment, capable of generating static electricity, that has a ground wire attached will not normally require a resistance check by the Safety Department unless the integrity of the gound is question able,
3. It is the responsibility of the Safety Department to make a resistance check of all hydrocleaning equipment before work is begun or equipment is put in service. Resistance checks are to be made, at the request of Production, on non-electrical portable or mobile equipment.
4. It is the responsibility of the I&E Department to determine the proper method of grounding this equipment.
PROCEDURE
1. Care should be exercised when connecting and disconnecting ground and bonding connections as it is possible that a spark could be

generated when they are connected or disconnected. The person making the connect or disconnect should be sure that there are no combustibles in the area where the connections are to be connected or disconnected. A statement should be included on the Fire & Entry Permit that grounds are going to be connected since connecting the ground could generate a spark.
2. All non-electrical portable equipment, such as air blowers, diesels, pneumatic motors, etc. (excluding hand tools), will be grounded before being used or placed in service. A resistance check is not normally required unless the integrity of the ground is questionable.
3. All hydrocleaning equipment will have the truck grounded. The lance will normally be grounded to the truck thru the steel braid in the hose. The Safety Department will make a resistance check from the lance to the ground. If the resistance is too high or if there is not a steel braid in the hose, the lance is to be bonded to the vessel. (See Attachement )
NOTE:
The bond wires are comparatively large because of mechanical considerations, but a bond resistance of 1 megohm or less is entirely adequate to dissipate the static build-up.
CAUTION:
It appears to be impossible to eliminate all sources of ignition from hydroblasting. The only safe way to eliminate ignition is to eliminate the fuel, air, or both. The water droplets breaking away from the main stream can themselves create sparks.
4. The vessel being hydroblasted shall be grounded. If unsure that the vessel is grounded, contact the I&E Department to check that the vessel is grounded.

TESTING AND OPERATION OF FUME HOODS
PURPOSE
To define the procedure to be followed for normal operation and testing the draft of fume hoods.
SCOPE
This procedure outlines the equipment, test procedure, and minimum allowable standards to follow in testing hoods for their proper functioning. Operating guidelines are presented to insure safe performance between inspections. A hood (fume hood) is any forced draft enclosure or vent used to remove fumes or vapors. This pro cedure does not include exhaust systems used for welding.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Each owning department is responsible for testing, proper operation and repair of their own hoods. The Control Laboratory will assist in initial training of other department personnel in the procedure to be followed for testing hoods. Each department will maintain a written record of their test results. Stores will stock the test labels.
PROCEDURE
1. All hoods in categories B and C below must be checked a minimum of once every three months. Category A hoods twice per year. Hood-owning departments will be responsible for maintaining proper test interval for their hoods. If work being conducted in a hood is suspected of having an adverse affect on the func tion of the hood motor, testing frequency must be increased.
2. Minimum flow rates for hoods are as follows:
A. 65 FPM for nuisance materials, i.e., oil bath vent hoods, etc.
B. 100 FPM for corrosive or moderately toxic materials. This is
the typical laboratory hood used for most chemical analyses.
C. 150 FPM for highly toxic materials. (TLV less than or equal
to IQ ppm.) Contact Industrial Hygiene if TLV data are not
available.
,
3. The draft on hoods is checked with an Alnor Velometer Type 3002 (Alnor Instrument Co., Div. of Illinois Testing Laboratories, Inc., Chicago, IL). A velometer will be kept by the Control Lab for use throughout the plant. The PT/OR Lab also has an instrument.

TESTING AND OPERATION OF FUME HOODS
Work should always be at least 6" from the plane of the sash; optimum worker positioning is 3" from the plane of the sash (9" total separation). Heavy vapors will flow back out of a hood from in front of equipment placed too near the front.
Strong drafts interfere with air flow patterns into hoods. Air flow from A/C registers, circulating fans, etc. should not blow directly across into the hood opening. Adjacent hoods can interfere with each other's performance.
Adequate fresh air makeup must be provided for proper operation of any exhaust system.
Equipment, piping, etc., should not prevent normal closure of the hood door. The door glasses are safety glass and should be available for use as normal shielding or hood closure in case of spill.

SUBJECT: VESSEL AMD STORAGE TANK INSPECTION PROGRAM
NUMBER 30
ABSTRACT
In recent months, at least three serious and costly incidents of ment failure have occurred -- two in Monsanto and one in another These failures highlight the need to reexamine our practices and dures for inspection of vessels and storage tanks.
equip company. proce-`
The seriousness of the situation requires that every location throughout the corporation take appropraite steps to inspect and monitor existing equipment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A master list of all vessels and storage tanks should be established.
2. Establish an inspection frequency for each equipment item on the master list. The frequency is to be based on all available experi ence and data; however, the maximum recommended interval between inspections should not exceed that in Appendix D of this Tecfact.
3. The time interval for future inspections should be based on the findings of the current inspection. This frequency and associated activities should be continuously reviewed and altered, based on the findings in each subsequent inspection. The dates for the next inspection should be set after the current inspection and noted on future inspection lists.
4. All equipment on the master list should be inspected in accordance with the established frequency.
5. Equipment failures which could result in personnel injury or fatalities, and the condition of which is uncertain must receive the highest priority for early inspection.
6. Inspection results should be recorded and kept current. A suggested equipment data information shoot/card is attached.

7. Deficiencies discovered as a result of inspections must be corrected as necessary. Corrections may consist of repairs, modifications, additional instrumentation and controls or complete replacement.
DISCUSSION
All Monsanto locations have some types of preventive maintenance and safety inspection programs. Monsanto's total experience with catastrophic' tank failures for structural or operational use reasons is very good. Recent failure of two water treatment/waste heat recovery systems, the near failure of a diamine storage tank and several other failures in industry, including the sulfuric acid storage tank failure reported by S&PP in November, 1977, indicate the necessity to review and strengthen our inspection programs.
Appendices A, B, and C are forms containing suggested information for this program. Appendix D "Critical Ratings" should assist locations in determining vessel inspection frequencies. It is recognized that formal inspection programs exist in many locations. The attached forms are suggested for use at your location.
The "what kind" and "how to" specifics of inspection methods and,techni ques and the correction of deficiencies should be established by location technical personnel with assistance of CED specialists, where appropriate, and are not covered in this Tecfact.
Additional information or assistance on the above recommendations can be obtained by contacting George Ostroot, S&PP Manager Property Loss Control.
Questions concerning "what kind" and "how to" should be directed to R. B. Puyear, CED Manager Materials Technology Section.

RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR CDS OF FRP EQUIPMENT
J. P.. Middleton S. I. Proctor
Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) equipment has been involved in a number of incidents over the past months and years ranging in severity from nuisance to sudden rupture and nearly catastrophic discharge of the contents of a large tank. This situation has been the cause for concern and procedures have been instituted within CED to insure that FRP equipment installed on current or future projects will be properly selected, designed, fabricated and inspected.
However, not all new FRP equipment is installed by CED. A signif icant number of items are installed by the plants as replacement for existing equipment or as part of small, plant-run construc tion projects. For this equipment, we recommend that the following procedure be observed. These are similar to the present CED practices:
1. Selection of FR? as a material of construction will be made by or reviewed in detail with a qualified materials specialist at the time of initial materials selection and again if changes are made to the process which affect temperature or composition of the process fluids handled by the equipment. (The CED Engineering Technology Depart ment will provide assistance if requested.)
2. FRP equipment will not be used in those applications involving:
a. lethal service
b. flammable materials stored above ground.
3. All FRP equipment designs will be prepared or reviewed by an equipment design specialist. (ACM department in CED will assist if requested.)

4. All FRP equipment should be purchased in accordance with cur rent CEO standards. Deviations from these standards should require specific approval by FRP equipment design specialists. In those situations where the deviation might affect chemical resistance of the equipment, the concurrence of the materials specialist approving the materials selection should also be required.
5. In addition to the other inspection requirements, all FRP vessels should be inspected by acoustic emission in the fabricator's shop and again in the plant after erection and piping connections have been completed.
6. All FRP equipment should be inspected on a regularly scheduled basis. The schedule should include both visual inspection and acoustic emission.test (but not necessarily concurrently). Inspection frequency will be dictated by such factors as severity of service and consequence of failure.
7. When FRP equipment is used with fluids which can cause chemical or thermal burns to personnel, every effort should be made to locate those vessels at grade elevation. If location above grade is needed, protective devices (such as catch-pans) should be used for safety.

We have new received the June status report on MCI Plants Vessel Inspection Program, which contains the latest update or. our FR? Vessel Testing.. Based on this input, and other discussions, we are removing our ban on new FRP Vessel installation in MCI facilities, subject to the following conditions.
1. That new FRP Vessels pas3 tests (acoustical emission, visual and dimensional inspection) at the factory to assure compliance with our vessel specifications prior to shipment. It is our understanding CSD has an existing program already in place which does these tests. Testing off vessels purchased by the Plants will be the Plants responsibility.
2. That r.ew ??.? Vessels pass a test (acoustical, emission, and -visual inspection) after installation, with all piping-and equipment connections completed, and 3u3t before being placed in service. Obviously this would ba a joint C20/?lant effort to be accomplished curing water batching.
3. That valving, bypass piping, or other facilities be providad on new FRP Vessels to permit removing them frem service for inspection, without incurring a Plant shutdown.
4. That each MCI Plant performs an inspection (acoustical, emission and visual inspection) at least every tve (2) years on each FRP Vessel. Mora fraquer.t inspection may be necessary on more severe service and the Plant will be responsible for evaluating that need.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
PURPOSE
To establish a Respiratory Protection Program which will set overall objectives and policies for che selection, maintenance, training and use of all respiratory protective equipment at Chocolate Bayou Plant.
SCOPE
This procedure covers respiratory protective equipment for both normal and emergency situations.
POLICY
In the control of occupational exposure to air contaminated with harmful gases, dusts and fumes, the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination. This shall be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering controls and good work practices. When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being initiated, appropriate respiratory equipment shall be used.
The company will provide respiratory protection equipment which is applicable and suitable for the purpose intended, when such equipment is necessary to protect the health of the employee.
Individuals who need towear a breathing protection device in the performance of job duties must be clean shaven in the area between the sealing surface of the respirator and the face.
PREMISE FOR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
The following are the basic premises for an acceptable Respiratory Protective Program:
1. Written departmental operating procedures will define the proper selection and use of respiratory protective equipment. Selection will be based on:
a. Nature of hazardous operation.
b. Type and concentration of air contaminants.
c. Period of time for which protection must be provided.
d. Functional and physical characteristics of the protective device.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM
2. Users should be adequately trained in the use and limitation of the protective equipment. Training will include information presented in Attachment II (attached).
3. Where practical, respirators will be assigned to an individual. These routinely used respirators must be cleaned regularly, inspected before each use, and repaired as necessary to insure proper protection.
4. Respiratory equipment must be stored in convenient, clean, sanitary locations.
5. There should be regular inspections and evaluations to determine the continued effectiveness of the respiratory protection program.
HAZARDS
The classification of breathing hazards and reconmended protective equipment is presented in Table I (attached).
RESPONSIBILITIES
Respirator Fitting;
1. The purpose of any protective mask is to isolate the wearer
from the surrounding atmosphere, by providing a leak-tight
seal between the mask and the face. To insure the best
possible opportunity for a good face piece to face seal, all
employees wno are required to wear respiratory equipment, must
be free of facial haxr protruding' `'into the sealing portion of
the respiratorT
~
NOTE; A fit test will not be conducted on anyone not meeting this requirement.
User Responsibilities:
1. The user must test for fit each time it is put on.
2. The user must check for fit by the following methods:
a. Positive Pressure Test; Close the exhalation valve and exhale gently into the face piece. The slight positive pressure can be built up inside the face piece without any evidence of outward leakage of air at the seal. For most respirators, this method of leak

testing requires that the wearer first remove the exhalation valve cover and then carefully replace it after the test.
b. Negative Pressure Test: Close off the inlet opening of the canister or cartridge(s) by covering with the palm of the hand(s) or by replacing the seal(s). Inhale gently so that the face piece collapses slightly and hold the breath for approximately 10 seconds. If the face piece remains in its slightly collapsed condition and no inward leakage of air is detected, the fit of the respirator is considered satisfactory.
c. Manufacturer's Instructions; Follow the directions provided by the respirator manufacturer.
d. Movement Check; The employee using the respirator should also turn his/her head from side to side and up and down to ensure that the respirator is sealed and will not become loose during wear.
3. User must wear the respirator as originally designed:
a. All functional parts must be in place and worn in appropriate positions.
b. All straps shall be secure.
c. Modification to the respirator straps shall not be made.
4. If special glasses are issued for use with respirators, they will be used in fit testing.
5. Dentures may seriously affect the face piece fit and therefore should be worn during fit testing and use.
Departmental Supervision is responsible for:
1. Providing written operating procedures for selection and use of breathing protection.
2. Insuring adequate breathing equipment is provided for all situ ations requiring its use within that department.
3. Proper storage, identification and inspection of the equipment in the department.

CHOCOLATE BAYOU PLANT
GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING SAFE SAMPLE CONTAINERS
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to define minimum acceptable safety standards for sample containers used for in-plant use only.
SCOPE
This policy covers all types of sample containers that are acceptable for use in sampling any material or product at this location. It also defines some very basic guidelines for the safe use of these sample containers.
This policy does not intend to define complete safe sampling rules. It is the responsibility of each individual unit and/or operation to define their own safe sampling procedures to fit their mode of operation and sampling conditions. This policy does not cover DOT rules and regulations for shipping samples outside the plant.
RESPONSIBILITY
It is the responsibility of supervision at any unit or operation area to assure that personnel doing sampling are aware of and follow the guidelines defined in this policy when catching samples.
DISCUSSION
Many types of samples are handled at this location, the physical char acteristics of which vary from gas to liquid, to solid at ambient con ditions. Samples also vary from basic to acidic, from very toxic to non-toxic, from non-flammable to varying degrees of flammability, from non-corrosive to very corrosive. This policy will define, by the nature of the sample and hazards involved, the type containers to be used for sampling materials.
Proper labeling is very important. If a sample is clearly and properly
labeled, the dangers inherent in handling and analyzing the sample will
be known. Samples from the acrylonitrile process must be labeled with
the special labels marked "Danger, contains Acrylonitrile (AN). Hazard".
Cancer
SAMPLE CONTAINER GUIDELINES
CBY 3109852
Sample container type is defined according to the physical properties of
materials sampled. In all cases, the safest type of container is re
commended.
001T4I2
The following guidelines are to be strictly adhered to in sampling any material or stream which falls under the group definition. Where ne cessary, subgrouping is used to further define safe sample containers.

GROUP I
Samples which are or tend to be gas at ambient conditions.
Any sample or material in this group tends to be gas under ambient condi tions and therefore must be sampled in pressure containers (saniple bombs) . This group includes any hydrocarbons of C5 & lighter molecular structure. Exception; Some streams are of very low pressure and may, .with lab supervision's approval, be sampled in special bombs.
Sample bombs must be tested and/or approved by the Control Lab before use. See Safety Procedure, SP-008.
Bombs of either 300 ml or 1000 ml volume and manufactured by either Hoke or Whitey are'approved for use. (Hoke is preferred due to its structural design.) These bombs must be fitted with Robbins valves. Special bombs are used for HF and MeSH samples, see 3 and 4 below.
Sample bomb types, used at this location, and how they are to be used is as follows.
1. Liquid Bomb Samples
These bombs must be fitted with dip tubes which extend into the bomb an adequate length to allow for thermal expansion of the liquified gas to be sampled. At this location, our standard liquid bombs, other than Olefin's bombs, are fitted with dip tubes which extend into the bomb at 'least 20% of the bombs length. The "dip tube" end of the bomb is painted yellow and stamped "out".
Olefins Department bombs have longer dip tubes which extend into the bomb at least 50% of the bombs length. These bombs are yellow on the dip tube end and white at the other end. The longer dip tube is provided to assure expansion room when sampling streams which might contain liquid C2's.
After a liquid is caught, the bomb must be supported in a ver tical position which the yellow end uppermost and depressured through the upper valve until liquid cdases to vent from this valve. At this point, the sample is safe for handling and transporting.
.2 Vapor Bomb Samples
3109853
Vapor bombs have no dip tubes and are therefore unsafe for catching liquid samples. These bombs are painted red and stenciled "vapor only". They must be used for samplinq streams which are known to be vapor only.
3. HF Bomb Samples
C 001743
These bombs are for use in sampling Hydrofluoric Acid only. They

are made of monel, a corrosive resistant metal. Valves are also ' made of monel. These bombs are manufactured by Hoke and valves by Whitey. They are recoqnizable by their smaller size and the total absence of paint. They are not to be used for anything except sampling HF. These bombs are not fitted with dip tubes and "must not" be used in any other service.
4. MeSH Bomb Samples
MeSH (Methyl Mercaptan) samples will be caught in either 40 or 75 ml Whitey or Hoke bombs. These bombs must not be used in any other service.
5. C2's and Lighter Hydrocarbon Samples
Samples of this group are of a particularly hazardous nature if liquid C2's are left in the bomb. After depressuring, these samples must contain only vapors, under pressure. (See instructions for proper depressuring above). These samples which may possibly contain liquid C2's are primarily from the Olefins Unit (C2 streams) and the liquid C2 pipeline samples from Mt. Belview. If samples from the Olefins Unit are caught in the proper olefins bombs, with the white end, and depressured properly, the possibility of liquid C2's will be minimized. Sample bombs must not contain liquid C2's. 17D2 Bottoms and Ethylene Product, from Departments 17 and 18 may possibly contain liquid C2's. It is essential that they be properly depressuret after sampling to assure their safety.
6. Liquid C2's (Ethane & Ethylene) Samples
Samples from Mt. Belview pipelines are not to be sampled in sample bombs. A special liquid C2 sampling device is used for these samples. This sampling device is available from Conoco pipeline personnel. These sampling devices are manufactured with hand operable piston type sample mixers. These devices are rated @ 1800-2160# PSl @ STP and are tested 3600 PSI @ STP. Valve bodies at each end of the devices are fitted with PSV's rated @ 1800 100# PSI. Oil filled pressure gauges, at each end, are rated @ 0-2000# PSI. Quick dis connect couplings are provided at each end. These devices are manu factured by Welker Engineering Co., of Sugarland, Texas.
7 AN Recovery Runs
AN reactor recovery off gas samples are taken in clear plastic con tainers. These containers are designed for this analysis only and are not to be used for any other samples.
GROUP II Samples which are liquid at ambient conditions.
c 001744
CBV 3109854
Samples in this group vary from non-flammable to varying degrees of flamma bility, from non-corrosive to very corrosive, from non-toxic to very toxic.

from very basic to very acidic.
Sample containers approved for this group may be glass or plastic bottles, metal cans, or metal thermos bottle for liquid HCN. Container sizes vary. Bottles may be either clear or amber.
The proper sampling container must be chosen by considering all unsafe properties of any sample. Quality requirements of products must also be considered. The container which is the safest, considering all of the sample hazards, and which will not interfere with minimal quality guidelines will be chosen.
Container guidelines
1. The basic most useful container for this group is the glass bottle. These bottles must have Polyseal lined lids (see exception) to protect product quality.
Exception: Some units use french square bottles for catching pro duction samples. When these bottles are used, lids made entirely of polyethylene must be used. Do not use polyethylene lined lids with french square bottles, as these liners sometimes are sucked into the bottle when opened splashing sample on personnel.
If the sample is subject to deterioration by exposure to light, it must be sampled in an amber bottle, e.g., AN & Acetone. The minimum size bottle, which will allow enough sample for required analyses plus retain will be used. This information is available in unit and Distribution sampling procedures. The bottle will be filled no more than 80% full.
The plastic bottle is the second most useful container for this group. These bottles must be provided with a cap which will seal to prevent leakage. Plastic bottles will be used for any sample which is highly corrosive e.g., strong acid or caustic solutions, crotonaldehyde, etc.
Exceptions to this rule are Hydrofluoric Acid, which must be caught in a special Monel bomb, phenol which must be caught in a glass bottle, and HCN in a metal thermos bottle.
The minimum size bottle, which will allow enough sample for required analyses plus retain will be used. The bottle will be no more than 80% full.
2. The metal can will be the least used for sampling this particular group, but for sampling materials which tend to build up pressure or which require high temperature for melting, they are absolutely essential.
Corrosives (e.g., containers.
acids,
caustic)
will never be sampled in metal

Materials which might be expected to contain light ends (C5's & ltr) in small amounts must be sampled in cans with screw caps and/or press on covers so they are vapor tight. Note: If the material contains primarily C5's & lighter, it must be sampled in a bomb.
Materials must be melted for analysis or disposal must be sampled in "open topped" cans.
If a material contains small amounts of light ends and is also corrosive, then a can lined with polyethylene must be used for sampling. The minimum size can, which will allow enough sample for required analyses plus retain will be used. The can will be no more than 80% full.
GROUP III
Samples which are solid at ambient conditions.
Samples in this group may be in the form of a powder or granules. They may also be materials which will melt on heat application, and in fact, must be melted for analyses.
Materials of dry powder or granular form will normally be sampled in plas tic containers, but glass or metal are acceptable. If the sample is corro sive, a metal container must.not be used.
Any container used for sampling dry powder or granular products must have a tight fitting lid which will prevent contamination of the materials, es pecially moisture. Materials which are solid at ambient conditions and must be melted for analysis or disposal, must be sampled in "open topped" cans, with the exception of Phenol, which is sampled in glass bottles. (Open topped cans have lids which are the size of the top of the can. The top of the can is, therefore, open when the lid is removed). Materials such as Tar, Resin PR, and Naphthalene must be sampled in such containers.
The minimum size can which will allow enough sample for required analyses plus retain will be used. The can will be no more than 80% full.
This policy establishes some guidelines which, if adhered to, will make the jobs of sampling, sample handling, and analyses much safer. In con sideration of their own personal safety, each individual who handles

CHOCOLATE; BAYOU PLANT
INSTRUMENT AIR CONTAMINATION WITH NITROGEN
PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to establish guidelines to be followed when nitrogen is added to the instrument air headers.
SCOPE
This policy and procedure defines the communication method and actions required by all units in the event nitrogen is added to the instrument air headers. . ..
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM
The plant instrument air headers have a potential of nitrogen being admitted due to shutdown/trip out of the air compressors that normally provide these headers. Should the instrument air pressure drop to 90 PSIG the nitrogen back up system comes into service adding nitrogen to the instrument air headers to main tain header pressure at 90 PSIG.
This nitrogen being added to the headers creates a potential safety problem if any people are inside an analyzer house and depending on the location of pneumatic instrumentation may ac cumulate nitrogen in other confined spaces within the produc tion departments. Nitrogen will also result in chromatograph analyzers shutting down in labs.
PROCEDURE
1) Upon loss of compressors or any time that the nitrogen control valve is activated which will permit addition of nitrogen into the instrument air headers the Plant fire and spill alarm will be activated. The fire and spill alarm for nitrogen being admitted to the instru ment air header is 3-3-3.
2) Upon activation of the 3-3-3 fire and spill alarm all personnel are to vacate analyzer houses that use in strument air for instruments, purges, and etc. or any other confined spaces that may accumulate nitrogen.
3) The owning departments of the analyzer houses and other confined spaces that may accumulate nitrogen will take the following actions immediately upon activation of the 3-3-3 fire and spill alarm:
a. Inspect the analyzer houses and or other confined spaces to be sure that all personnel have vacated the premises.

b. Lock doors closed to anaylzer houses or other confined spaces.
c. Attach sign to entrance doors indicating that a vapor hazard exists.
d. The shift foreman will contact the main guard gate to verify that they are aware of the nitrogen being in the instrument air systems and have taken appropriate action as specified in items a,b, c listed above.
4) a. The guards are to call the shift foreman of'any unit not making contact with them immediately to be sure they are aware of the problem and request that they take action as specified..
b. Upon completion of verification check list the guard will sound an all clear on the fire/spill horns. This all clear does not signify that the instrument air headers are back to normal, only that verification of notification is com plete and that other routine work may be resumed.
5) .
After air compressors are returned to service and nitrogen is blocked away from the instrument air headers, utilities will notify all units and the main guard gate by telephone that instrument air headers are back to normal.
6) If it is necessary for immediate entry into analyzer house or other confined space, after instrument air headers are returned to normal, a vapor test should be performed before entry to be sure that oxygen level is normal. Otherwise, a period of 2 hours should be allowed before removal of locks and entry is permitted on a routine basis.
7) In the event nitrogen is admitted to the instrument air headers and the fire and spill alarm does not activate automatically, the Utilities Shift Foreman will call the main guard gate and request the guard to activate the fire and spill alarm code 3-3-3.

1. An Impairment Permit will be filled out by a member of the Safety Department prior to the equipment being removed from service.
2. The permit will be approved by a member of supervision in the Safety Department. Approval may be granted verbally during off hours.
3. The original hard copy of the permit will be fastened to equipment impaired or area of impairment.
4. Supervision in areas affected by the impairment will be informed verbally before and after repairs are made. The supervisor's name will appear on permit.
These areas will minimize operational changes or hot work that could case an incident while the fire equipment protecting the area is out of service.
5. The use of this impairment procedure does not preclude the usage of SP-009 (By-passing and Testing Protective Devices) or SP-019 (Fire Permits and Vessel Entry/Fire Permits). The affected department supervisor is responsible to make the appropriate decision to invoke SP-009 or SP-019.

HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM
PURPOSE
To establish a Hearing Conservation Program (HCP) which will set the guidelines, consistent with OSHA and Monsanto's HCP for hearing protection training, monitoring and protective equipment selection.
SCOPE
This procedure will apply to all Employees who are exposed to a noise level of 80 dBA full shift TWA. All contractors at Chocolate Bayou falling in this category will have a HCP complying with OSHA guide lines, and will also comply with Monsanto's policy of hearing protection
areas an approved equipment.
POLICY
A HCP will be administered where there is exposure to a full shift
TWA greater than 80 dBA, or where hearing protection is worn. Hearing protection equipment will be used only when feasible engineering controls
do not reduce noise sufficiently. New or retrofit engineering projects will have noise levels below 85 dBA.
RESPONSIBLITIES
Industrial Hygiene
* Overall responsibility for administering the Hearing Conservation Program (HCP).
* Monitoring areas and new Projects to determine noise levels and establishing plant noise profile.
* Supply stores and purchasing with a list of approved hearing and protection equipment.
* Evaluation of hearing protection equipment.
Manufacturing
* Supervision will be held accountable for worker compliance to Hearing Conservation Program.
* Insure personnel have annual Hearing Conservation Training which complies with OSHA standard.
* Maintain training records including dates, name and type of equipment used.
* .Address the reduction of noise through engineering design.

HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM
A. Each unit having a HCP will have hearing protection equipment available for any personnel going out into the unit. Each unit will have the option of selecting its own hearing protection equipment. However, the equipment used must be on the Purchasing Department approved list.
HEARING PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
1. Industrial Hygiene will evaluate Hearing Protection using NIOSH Method No. 1.
2. For purpose of real world effectiveness, the calculations should be made using 50Z of the attenuation value at each frequency.
3. Hearing Protection equipment will also be evaluated on the basis of administrative controls.
AUDIOMETRIC TESTING
Audiometric testing will be the responsibility of the Medical Department and will meet the following requirements.
1. All employees exposed to 80 dBA full shift TWA will be tested annually.
2. A preplacement audiogram must be done before any employee is exposed to or starts work in a high noise area. HP cannot be used, and 48 hours free of loud noise must preceed this baseling test.
3. Audiometric testing equipment must meet OSHA, HCA, and Monsanto Medical Policy guidelines.
4. Acoustical Audiometer calibration must be done at least semi-annuallj
5. An exhaustive calibration is required when acoustical calibration results show 75 dB or at least every 2 years.
6. Annual follow-up audiometric tests need not be tested. If a STS is noted, a rested retest will be done within 30 days.
7. In the period between the audiometric test and the retest, any employee suffering a STS will be refitted with HP, retrained and required to wear properly selected HP.
TRAINING
CBY 3109864 c 0G1'7S4
The training and education of workers and their supervision in the hazards and control of noise is an essential element in the Hearing Conservation Program.
