ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: I - Safety Subject: A - Organization and Administration Page 1 of 1 Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 8.- Safety Communications 8. Contacts Comment: Original Issue (Line and Staff) Each location should establish the method by which safety is to be communicated to line and staff personnel. Ordinarily, this would follow the normal organizational "chain of command," However, it is advisable to supplement this procedure depending upon many factors, not the least of which is the size of the organization. Some supplemental procedures to be considered are: 1. Supervisory Departmental Safety Meetings 2. Written bulletins or memorandum. 3. Special mass meetings of supervisory personnel. c. Use of local plant newpaper, 5. Use of local community newspaper. 6. Safety meetings with hourly personnel. 7. Special mass meetings of hourly personnel.

It is a means by which all employees may become personally involved in the safety effort. It is also a means by which many unsafe practices and con ditions may be brought to management's attention and appropriate corrective action taken. Finally, it provides an excellent opportunity for promotional activity and safety publicity. The mechanics of the program are relatively simple and are as follows: 1. Forms should be devised for the employees to utilize in sub mitting their written safety suggestion. A sample of the suggestion form used at a PPG plant immediately follow this Item 9. It should be noted that the sequence and routing of the suggestion form is most important. 2. Forms should be made readily available to the employees. Employees should submit written safety suggestions directly to their supervisors. Suggestion boxes should not be used. 3. Each suggestion received should receive careful considera tion and the employee making the suggestion should be advised as to the disposition of -his suggestion, whether favorable or unfavorable, at the earliest opportunity. . Some form of recognition should be given periodically to the employee submitting the best suggestion for the period covered, e.g. newspaper, plant paper, bulletin board pub licity and/or some small token of appreciation.

The suggestion program itself should be promoted and pub licized. 6. The suggestion program should not be set apart from the plant's safety program, but rather should be an integral part of the safety program. Local management should not undertake a Safety Suggestion Program unless or until they are prepared and willing to put forth the time, effort and money required to take corrective action on the suggestions such a program will generate. BB 0012653 ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PRXEDURPS MANUAL Section: I - Safety Page: 1 of 1 Subject: A - Organization and Administration Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 10. - Safety Performance Recognition Comment: Original Issue Safety Performance Recognition Programs are many and varied and, therefore, no attempt will be made to describe any particular program in this manual. However, several general comments, with respect to such programs, are in order: 1. Performance recognition type programs should not be attempted o i unless a sound safety program is in operation. 2. If the awards of such a program are geared to periods of time during which the unit operated with no disabling in juries, no doctor cases, etc., these periods of time should be realistic and attainable. For example, if the unit has = . ' -' \ a low manhour exposure, it would better to establish goals in terms of days, weeks, or months rather than in terms of a large number of manhours. 3. Ways and means should be incorporated into the program so as to involve as many employees as possible. 4. Programs of this nature must be changed and varied period ically in order to maintain interest. 5. Programs of this nature do.afford excellent opportunities for safety promotion and publicity. 6. Suggested programs and details of operation are available from most large trading stamp conjpanies and from the General Office Safety Section. This does not mean that trading stamps are recommended or more effective than other types of awards, such as Savings Bonds, cash, merchandise, etc. j 8B 0012654 V ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Sectioni I - Safety Pages 3 of 3 Subject* E - Accident 8.

This approach to accident prevention will result in more effective control over accidents and permit this objec tive to be accomplished with savings in time, effort and money. Analysis of the circumstance of injuries can produce these results: 1. Identify and locate the principal sources of accidents. 2. Disclose the nature and size of accident problems in departments and among occupations. 3. Disclose ineffeciencies in operating processes. 4. Disclose unsafe practices which need special attention in training. 5. Disclose improper placement of personnel. 6. Permit an objective evaluation of the progress of the safety program. The reliability of any analysis depends entirely upon the proper selection of the correct key factors and the method for identifying them. Some of the factors which should be included are: 1. Nature of injury 2. Part of body injured 3. Source of injury 4. Hazardous condition 5. Unsafe act Studies to pinpoint accident problems should be made periodically by the Safety Director and the results should be reported to the Management Safety Committee. This information should be used by the committee to institute pro grams and changes designed to correct accident problems. ^ BB_0012657 J ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: I - Safety Page: 2 of 2 Subject: E - Accident & Injury Reporting Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 7. - Accident & Injury Analysis Comment: Original Issue One of the tools established for measuring accident experience is the Danger Index. The following classifications of cases are used in determining those cases to be charged against the Danger Index. Danger Index-Chargeable Cases 1. All non-disabling eye injuries from work produced objects corrosive materials, radiation burns, etc., which are severe enough to require referral to a physician or opthalmologist for treatment. Not to in clude foreign substances or wind blown objects easily removed with a O CO UJ C __ i rz cotton applicator or by flushing. 2. All non-disabling fractures (including hair line ones). 3. All non-disabling lacerations severe enough to require the attending physician to close them by means of suturing, using needle and suture material. (Do not include closures by clip, butterfly, or tape.) 4. All non-disabling injuries for which the attending authorized physician r prescribes work restrictions or motion limitations caused by work w I----' * .V accident or incident which restricts in any way the employee from pre forming his or her regular established job. 5. All non-disabling gas inhalation cases severe enough to warrant the attention of a physician. 6. All disabling injuries (by present 216.1 definition.) Danger Index cases are to be reported on Form 1514 under the heading of Doctor gases - Non - Disabling - this month.

Extinguishers to not take the place of major fire fighting equipment, however, they will enable you to bring small fires under control with a minimum of damage. The adequacy of extinguishers may be evaluated by using the following: 1. Suitability of type to cope with the kind of fires anticipated in area protected. 2. Sufficiency of capacity and total number to cope with severity of fire anticipated. 3. Location and accessibility. 4. Guidelines established by the National Fire Protection Association code 10 A should be followed. Hose houses should be equipped with spanners, hose straps, axes and other tools necessary for fighting fires. They should contain the amount (length) of hose necessary to cover the area designated for protection. Adjustable nozzles are recommended in preference to playpipes. Where the distances hose has to be taken to fight a fire are relatively shdrt but congested, a hand drawn hose reel or cart is suggested. F.I.A. recommendation with respect to the adequacy and need for sprinkler system should be observed. Good communications are necessary if a fire is to b adequately coped with.

Item: 10. - Artificial Respiration & First Aid Training Comment: Original Issue First aid training will prepare individuals to give proper emergency care to accident victims - both on and off the job. In some situations immediate action may mean the difference between life and death. Training in first aid might also contribute to a reduction of accidents by creating an understanding of accident causes and thus improving attitudes toward safety. Arrangements for first aid training can be made through the local Red Cross or the Bureau of Mines. You may prefer to select key personnel to be trained as instructors or you may wish to arrange for employee training by instruction provided by the Red Cross. A sufficient number of employees should be trained so that adequate coverage exists on all shifts including weekends. , ,, n -> z' \ ` . i~bToo31^1-i ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANIJAT Section* I - Safety Pag * 1 of 2 Subject* D - Motivation Date Issued* January, 1969 Item* 1. - Bulletin Boards for Safety Items Comment: Original Issue Separate bulletin boards for safety items only should be strategically located throughout the plant. One board in a work area at a place where employees can see it when momentarily at leisure is desirable. Safety bulletin boards should also be located in lunch areas and locker rooms. Bulletin boards may range from large enclosed illuminated boards to small framed inexpensive mounts. All bulletin boards framed in wood should be attractively painted and preferrably glass covered. They should be in a well-lighted place and centered at eye level. A bulletin board should be used for only one safety display at a time. Posters should be changed at no less than 2 week intervals. Safety posters can be obtained from the following sources: 1. National Safety Council 2. Aetna Life & Casualty 3. Independent Companies MA : ' Uv ; - mot re ,. ' -J 5J i* 4.

Local Plant Safety Letters Accident prevention signs intelligently used can be effective in the prevention of accidents. An important function of such signs is to warn against committing unsafe acts and practices. Also signs are used to direct employees to various safety equipment. Therefore, for maximum safety, reactions to such signs should be automatic. It should not be necessary to stop and read each particular warning. ---------- IT"77"--; | BB 0012667 J ACCIDEMT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTHCTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: I - Safety Page: 2 of 2 Subject: D - Motivation Item: 1. - Bulletin Boards for Safety Items Date Issued: January, 196 Comment: Original Issue Sign uniformity is of great importance.

The displays used for this purpose should be simple, attractive, and illustrate the point intended to be made. In addition, they should be used regularly and keyed to fit in with the plant's overall approach to safety. Listed below are typical examples of special safety displays and CD '/S demonstrations used by various plant locations throughout the company. 1. Electric boards and signs used at the plant entrance to remind employees of the safety record of each department and the enti; plant. 2. Displays showing how safety shoes, safety glasses or hard hats saved a life or prevented serious injury. 3. Displays of personal protective equipment. 4. Exhibits of safe and unsafe tools and equipment. 5. Demonstrations of fire equipment by the plant fire brigade or local Fire Department.

Much can be learned about accidents from employee injury records. If certain employees have frequent injuries, their work habits, physical and mental abilities, training, etc. should be studied for the purpose of correcting the conditions which cause the accident. In addition, a formula based on experience should be established so that an employee receives constructive conseling after a set number of injury pro ducing accidents. Such counseling should be used as a tool for improving the employee's accident record and should be done so as not to discourage injury reporting. Immediately following this Item 3 is a card which can be used for keeping individual injury experience information and a "Re-current Injury Counseling Form", currently 'in use at a PPG plant location. RE-CURRENT INJURE COUNSELING PROGRAM FORM - Counseling Form PURPOSE I. To notify the foreman that one of his men has an unsatisfactory injury record. H. To have the foreman counsel the individual on improving his safe job performance. PROCEDURE I. The Nurse will complete the Counseling Form and send to the man's current foreman for the following reasons: A. Five First Aid cases within two months. B. Two First Aid cases within two weeks. C. Two doctor cases within two months. D. One doctor case and three First Aid cases within two months. E. Similar or comparable occurrences at the discretion of the Nurses. II. Upon receipt of this form, the foreman will counsel the man as soon as possible-and send to the department head, who will forward it to the Safety Director.

They help a supervisor to teach more in less time and, in addition, aid in holding the employee's interest. Also they aid the employee in retaining what he has learned. Coordinated into a good presentation at the right time and in the right way visual aids are invaluable tools; they can motivate as well as instruct. To be effective visual aids must be selected with care. Mere use of a visual aid just because it is readily available does not necessarily improve on spoken words. In fact, it may even detract from the desired effect * *; ^ , - * .1 Films enable a story to be told with\!tfcre dramatic impact of picture?,1" action and sound. However, it should be kept in mind that visual aids and films are only an aid and not a substitute for a good, well planned program in safety. The General Office Safety Section has published a Directory of Training Films in which are listed films on safety, first aid, fire prevention, etc. are available to you. Use this material to supplement your program as often as practicable, but don't overdo it. When used, safety films should not take up the entire meeting time. | BB 0012675 | ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section* I - Safety Page: 1 of 1 Subject* D - Motivation Date Issued: January, 19c Item: 5. - Employee-Foreman Safety Contacts and Communication Comment: Original Issue The individual safety contact plan can be used separately or in conjunction with employee safety meetings. The purpose of the contact plan is to provide individual safety instructions by the supervisor to each em ployee. Such individual contacts may deal with safety rules, safe practices, specific job hazards, accidents, reporting of injuries, safety suggestions, etc. Because the individual contact is personal, the supervisor should plan the subject matter to meet the employee's specific needs. The supervisor should contact each employee under his direction at such time intervals as determined by plant management. In choosing a time and place for the employee contact the supervisor should attempt to minimize the chances for distraction and interruption. Contacts made by the supervisor should be recorded on the employee's safety record and should be used in part as a measurement of the supervisor's safety activities. For this purpose, the Safety Director should maintain a record of each supervisors contacts. In addition, each higher level of management should spot check the safety contact of subordinates in order to make reliable appraisals of the quality of the individual contacts. Immediately following this Item 5 is a sample contact plan card and a write-up with respect to its use. 1 BB 0012676 | THE CONTACT PLAN The simplicity of the Contact Plan is its most appealing attribute. All that is involved are two, three to five minute personal contacts per day. Each line fore man talks to two of his men, individually, daily. He talks about safety on the man's job. However, five minutes will generally only permit talking about a small part of the job. The foreman should be prepared to talk about the details of that part of the job to be used in the Contact. This includes personal protection, standard work procedures, housekeeping, waste, errors, running in the plant, wiping up after spills, covering containers of solvent, tools in good working order and anything else pertaining to safety, ad infinitum. Nothing of a personal nature is covered, it may lead to a gab-fest for a half hour. As the contacts are made, the foreman checks off the names of his men on the "contac+ check list or calendar." A copy of form Lh08 is attached. At the end of the month, the form is turned in to the Safety Department where a record is kept and proper follow up is conducted. Possibly, the plant manager may want a list of those turned in, or not, as the case may be. The other form attached is a job breakdown form. In the event that there are jobs in a department with which the foreman is not intimately familiar, this form may be used to break down the steps of the job. Many foremen make up such forms for all their jobs for reference, training new men and checking approved methods. These forms, too, should be made available to the foremen. In some cases, managers of' plants insist that each job or piece of a job be so recorded. In many cases the safety man in the plant assists in the formulation or possibly checks the hazards listed. The use of this form is purely optional and up to the plant management, but it is essential that all foremen know the exact sequence of each job and the safety factors involved. If you have a job analysis program, this form is not needed. A weakness of the plan involves how adequate each foreman may be. He must have an agile mind and try to change his pitch and approach, the longer the plan is carried out. Talking to the same people about the same thing month after month is apt to become monotonous to both foreman and employee. That is where the resourceful foreman has the edge. That is also where the safety man functions. He must keep his finger on the pulse of the plan and be ready to jump in to help the foreman at any time. He may resort to sending out periodic releases containing items the foreman can use from time to time. Generally, such releases are short and point to just one item. The following topic examples are some that could be used. There are certainly many more which could be utilized. Running Covering Solvent Containers Tools Replacing Bungs Piling Materials Wiping Spills Replacing Guards Unsafe Acts Overloading - The Prankster Personal Hygiene Proper Lifting Driving Industrial Trucks Ladders Ropes Slings and Chains Hoists Locking Out Switchqs*. e,t.c 1 BB 0012677 J -2 - V The longer you use the plan, the more effective will the foremen become in expressing themselves. And the more they express themselves, the more safety conscious they themselves will become. The foremen, themselves, could be another weakness in the plan if they are not "sold" or sincere in their contacts. To help overcome this possibility, it is suggested that the plan be explained and discussed in small groups. In those meetings it may be smart to revert to role playing to demonstrate a good contact. The more the foremen are conditioned and the more enthusiastic they become, the more assured you will be that a majority will do a good job. If you feel that only one demonstration of a contact is not enough, have several groups of two men each demonstrate by using their own departmental jobs as examples. The entire plan is predicated on the accepted theory that a high percentage of people want to do the right thing, if it pleases the boss. All that remains is to iet the men know, individually, what the right things are. For the other small percentage of "aginners," the foremen and management know how to deal with them.

The supervisor's attitude toward safety is an significant factor in the success of the entire safety program because his views and actions will be reflected by the employees in his department. Setting a good example, for instance, wearing safety glasses and other personal protective equipment wherever and whenever it is required, is one of the most important ways in which the supervisor can promote safety. Teaching safety is an important function of the supervisor. However, the supervisor must set a good example in all aspects of safety if he is to gain the respect of those whom he supervises. When a foreman is appraised for a promotion or merit increase in salary, his performance with respe'ct to safety should be one of the factors taken into account in the overall evaluation. If he is lax in this area he should be constructively advised of the need for improvement. .. 4 ' ' -r' ' ' " - i 'i ' 1 ^ - , * *w - J BB 0012630 7 ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Sections I - Safety Page: I of 1 Subject: D - Motivation Date Issued: January, 19c Item: 7. - Enforcement of Safety Rules Comment: Original Issue Safety rules are an important element of any good safety program. Every operation regardless of size can develop safety rules applicable to all employees. In addition, it may be necessary to develop specific safety rules for each department or area of operation. Each employee should be supplied with a copy of the safety rules at the time of his employment. Supervisors should frequently question each employee concerning his knowledge of the general and department safety rules. Safety rules and regulations should be revised from time to time to obtain maximum effectiveness and include newly recognized conditions revealed by changes in operation. Safety rules cannot be effective unless provision is made for the en forcement of them. Generally, the same disciplinary actions that apply to other than safety infractions should be used. When reprimands are required for violation of safety rules, they should be administered with tact and good judgment. Rarely should they be given publicity. The effectiveness of a reprimand almost always is lost if the offender is made to appear in an unfavorable light in the eyes of his fellow employees. When it is felt that an employee is deliberately disobeying safety rules prompt action is necessary. Laxity in the enforcement of safety rules and failure to act promptly when violations occur are only too likely to lead to a serious accident. Remember - it is too late to invoke discipline after a life has been lost. 1 BB 0012691 | ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: I - Safety Page: 1 of 1 Subject: D - Motivation Date Issued: January, 19 Item: 8. - Off the Job Safety Activities Comment: Original Issue Directly and indirectly industry is bearing the burden of the costs with respect to off-the-job accidents. Disruption of the labor force, worry and hardship, loss of purchasing power by the consumer and insurance costs are some of the things which affect industry's pocketbook. Your interest in the safety and protection of our employees should no longer end when they leave the plant gate. Therefore, it is important that each plant location incorporate as part of its overall safety program an off-the-job educational service among employees and their families. All the injuries reported on the National Safety Council quarterly summary should be analyzed just as though they were on-the-job work injuries. When sufficient data has been developed to indicate a pattern of injuries a program directed at educating the employees towards preventing such injuries should be developed and implimented in conjunction with the on-the-job program. Distribution of the National Safety Council Family Safety Magazine to each employee is recommended. Information regarding the cost of this magazine can be obtained from the National Safety Council, 425 N.

Favorable publicity can help plant management do a job in selling safety. Listed below are some suggestions for publicizing your efforts in safety. 1. If you are located in a community where the company is well known arrange for the local newspaper to carry articles about your plant safety activities. Items such as safety records, supervisory and employee awards for safety, contests, etc. make interesting news. 2. Weekly or monthly plant newsletters are especially important as a means of maintaining employee interest in safety. Such newsletters can give detailed information on standings in con tests, publicize unusual accidents apd-near-missee, and support - .......'.:....; the safety program in general ;. !- .. 3. Letter to home of each employee can be used by management to .. .. drive home a particular point of concern.

They supply the information necessary to effect control over the specific conditions and acts which cause accidents. The Safety Director should be held responsible for maintaining a complete well organized file with respect to employee accident and injury experience. He should be able to, when requested, quickly assemble, evaluate and summarize injury data for prompt use by line management. The Safety Director should on a monthly basis supply the Management Safety Committee with a summary of accident experience for the preceding month. He should make appropriate comments or suggestions and point out any action which is indicated by the summary. Accident and cost studies should be distributed to all of supervision so that they are aware of problems existing in their area and can take the necessary corrective action. j\ ; J... | BB 0012634 J FOm 1523 RE v. 2/1/60 iiIs INCXJSTRIES ATE PLANT. 1 REPORT OF ANNUAL TESTS OF FIRE EQUIPMENT THE FOLLOWING TESTS OF FIRE EQUIPMENT HAVE JUST BEEN COMPLETED.

All members of the fire brigade should attend a practice drill or meeting at least once per month. Practice drills are preferable. Meetings should only be held as a substitute when due to inclement weather practice drills cannot be held or when something entirely new and foreign to the fire brigade must be introduced and discussed. All members of the fire brigade should have instructions and training in the following* 1. Fire aid and artificial respi 2. Use of gas masks 3. Use and location of emergency equipment 4. Use and location of fire extinguishers 5. Use of fire hoses 6. Location of hydrants, hose, etc. 7. Plant hazards 8. The plant alarm system and other methods of communications 9. Care and maintenance of fire fighting equipment If at all possible plant management should provide a training area for the fire brigade. A section of the yard area could be used for this purpose. Actual plant fire conditions which are expected to be encountered in the plant should be simulated. Fire brigade training should be conducted by the employee assigned to serve as Fire Chief or the person designated as being in charge of fire protection. i BB 0012690 1 ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAI.

The Ansul Fire School 2. State conducted fire schools 3. PPG Glass Division Fire School (Glass Division Employees only) Supplies of fire fighting equipment may also be called upon to assist in the training of fire brigade.

Comment: Original Issue Form 1525 "Report of Fire Drill", a copy of which immediately follows this Item 1., should be completed monthly and sent to the General Office Safety Section. Each member of the fire brigade should be properly equipped with a coat, boots, helmet, and gloves. In addition, there should be made available sufficient self contained breathing apparatus and break in (forceable entry) equipment. For the most part, plant fire brigades are comprised of individuals who are selected or volunteer for this work. Generally, they do not receive any-^. thing other than self satisfaction for the service which they render. Therefore it is recommended that each plant location develope a program to recognize the work of the fire brigade. Such a program could include the following: 1. An annual dinner^honoring all brigade members 2. A plaque for the outstanding individual brigade, and a personal award for each of its members, etc. 7JM\ PL | BB 0012692 ( ACCI DENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: II - Fire Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: C - Training Date Issued: January, 196 Item: 2. - Other Employees Comment: Original Issue Your goals with respect to fires should be to minimize loss and prevent injury. In order to accomplish these goals, it is necessary to give all em ployees somewhat limited training in fire fighting methods and related proce dures. In this respect all employees should receive initial orientation and periodic follow-up training in the following: 1. The location of fire alarm boxes 2. The procedure for turning in a fire alarm 3. The location of fire extinguishers, drop hoses, etc. 4. The location of exits 5. Training in the use of fire extinguishers The aforegoing training for new employees should begin during the indoc trination program. It should be continued by the supervisor to whcm the em ployees report for work. In addition, as employees are transferred from one department to another they should be acquainted with location and use of fire fighting equipment in their new area of work. | B3 0012693 | ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: II - Fire Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: C - Training Date Issued: January, 196 Item: 3. - Relationship with the Local Fire Protection Group Comment: Original Issue Fires are unpredictable and even the best fire prevention programs and most well-trained fire brigades may not be able to stop a fire. In such cases it may be necessary to enlist the aid of the local city Fire Department. In order that the local Fire Department is prepared to aid in the most efficient manner possible, arrangements should be made for them to train jointly with the plant fire brigade. At least two such joint training sessions should be held each year. The local Fire Chief and his staff should tour the plant in order to become acquainted with the location of equipment and type available. A check of plant hose and hydrant connections should be made by the city Fire Chief in order to determine whether they are compatible with the city's equipment. ACCIDEMT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECT IQ?,' PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: II - Fire Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: E - Evaluation Date Issued: January, 19 Item: 1. - Periodic Evaluation Comment: Original Issue Periodic evaluation is essential to the upgrading of the entire Fire Protection Program. At the least, an annual evaluation of the entire program should be made. The Fire Protection section of this- manual is recommended for this purpose. A procedure for correcting deficiencies uncovered as a result of the annual evaluation should be placed into effect as soon as possible. A copy of the results of the annual appraisal should be submitted to the General Office Safety Section for review and comments. ACCIDENT PREVEmON AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: III - Plant Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: A - Organization Date Issued: January, 1969 Items: 1. - Composition of Plant Protection Group Comment: Original Issue 2. - Supervision Many plant protection systems are currently in use throughout the Company. Some of these are ADT, Private Detective Agencies, and company-employed plant protection personnel. Regardless of the type system, it should be compatible with the division's objectives for security. Where plant protection personnel are used, the staff should be of such size that all their shifts and the weekends are adequately covered. Personnel should be uniformed. Selection should be based on interest, test results, interviews, and experience. The Plant Protection System should be one of the responsibilities of the Safety Director. | BB 0012696 J ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES .MANUAL Section: III - Plant Protection Page: 1 of 1' Subject: B - Training Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 1. - Formalized Training Comment: Original Issue Each new guard shall be required to go through formal orientation conducted by the Safety Director. In addition, the training of a new guard may be accom plished in several ways; the new guard may be assigned to work with an experienced guard or regular departmental training meetings may be held. A Plant Protection Manual should be developed and used for training guards and as a reference for the responsibilities of the security organization. '.'/hen new or revised instructions are issued, either of a permanent or temporary nature all guards should be required to read and initial them prior to their insertion in the manual. The Plant Protection Manual should be reviewed periodically to ascertain that it is up to date. ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES .MANUAL Section: III - Plant Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: C - Security Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 1. - Employee Entrance & Exit from Plant Comment: Original Issue An important responsibility of the security force is the control of employee traffic on company property. As members of the security force cannot normally be expected to know each and every employee personally, an employee identification system is highly desirable. The General Office Safety Section recommends that each plant use a picture badge system for employee identification. This system enables all of management to readily identify an employee and thus it has de finite advantages over a number badge or card system.

In addition, they should be provided with a badge which indicates their status. Visitors and salesmen should be provided with an escort to and from the person or part of the plant they are visiting. At the time any of the aforementioned register, they should be provided with the required personal protective equipment (hard hat, safety glasses, respirators, etc.) and advised with respect to its use.

Pilferage is a costly item and in order to protect against this kind of loss the following should be done: 1. Lunch boxes should be inspected on an unannounced basis at least once per month. 2. Employee lockers should be inspected once every six months. 3. Outgoing trucks and rail shipments should be inspected by the security force and/or the supervisor responsible for the loading. Where a plant uses the security force to make rounds, starting times should^ be staggered so that a would-be-intruder or thief does not know when to commit his act. The watchman should have enough time on his rounds to make a thorough inspection of the premises. He should be provided with a flashlight and plant lights along his route should be left on. The watchman should be required to \- report unsatisfactory conditions to management.

For this purpose a six-foot cyclone fence topped with three strands of barbed wire is recommended except where any building provides adequate protection. All plant gates should be closed and locked when not in use. The perimeter of the plant should be sufficiently well lighted so as to discourage unauthorized entry. The fence should be checked periodically to determine that there are no holes in it or openings under it. ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDUR MANUAL Section: III - Plant Protection Page; i of 1 Subject: C - Security Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 5. - Outside Contractors Comment: Original Issue Outside contractors should either be required to set up their own employee identification system or the plant should issue badges so that contractors* employees can be readily identified. Contractor employees should use a separate gate for entrance and exit from the plant. Contractors should be acquainted with the safety regulations and safety equipment requirements of the plant and advised that they are expected to ob serve them. Periodic inspection of contractor employees should be made to ascertain whether they are observing plant safety regulations. If not, the contractor should be advised and asked to cooperate. ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLAINT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: III - Plant Protection Page: 1 of 1 Subject: D - Evaluation Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 1. - Periodic Evaluation Comment: Original Issue Periodic evaluation is essential to the upgrading of the entire Plant Protection Program.

Not one of PPG's plant locations is immune from the possibility of a catastrophe. Therefore, emergency planning cannot be considered a luxury as an emergency can arise at any time, and when disaster strikes the personnel in the plant are all affecteds Their lives are in jeopardy; their jobs are in jeopardy; and the existence of all the physical equipment is threatened. An effective emergency plan requires the same planning and organization as does any other business undertaking. Management is responsible for devel oping and operating an emergency program designed to meet all anticipated eventualities. Before beginning extensive planning, it is well to determine just what type disasters are most likely to occur. Emergency control planning should take into account warning and communica tions procedures, the responsibilities of each member of the Emergency Control Organization, evacuation plans, a list of available emergency equipment and where it is located, exit regulations, and other pertinent information. An Emergency Control Manual containing the aforementioned information should be prepared and distributed to those responsible for the execution of the plan. A copy of the plant's manual should be forwarded to the General Office Safety Section. The manual should be reviewed at least annually and updated as needed.

Practice drills should be carried out in accordance with a logical plan designed to test the skill of the organization. It is recommended that a minimum of two emergency drills be held each year; one would be a full drill and the other would test a certain phase of the program. Put as much life as possible into your drills by creating problems for your emergency organization to meet. Realistic drills will do much to stimulate interest and also give you a better opportunity to observe weaknesses in your plan and help you plan action to correct deficiencies. Reports of emergency control drills should be forwarded to the General Office Safety Section. | BB .0012705 I ACCIDENT PREVENTION AND PLANT PROTECTION PROCEDURES MANUAL Section: IV - Emergency Control Page: 1 of 1 Subject: B - Operation of Program Date Issued: January, 1969 Item: 2. - Mutual Aid Comment: Original Issue A plant's chance of survival and recovery is greater when knowledge, equipment and personnel are pooled with its industrial neighbors, and community agencies. Therefore, emergency control should make provisions, where possible, for exchanging aid with others in the industrial community.
