NIOSH - NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD SURVEY - HOUSTON REFINERY
This memorandum will summarize the National Occupational Hazards rvey which was conducted at the Houston Refinery during July 16-23 by . Jerry D. Ransdell of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Wealth - Office of Health Surveillance and Biometrics. Mr. Ransdell was 'Is. Handle___ -accompanied by myse,,lf _a_n_d_ __B__o_b___B_ ryan o..f t_h__e_ Houston R___e_f_i_n_e__r_y____S__a__fety iie__Tb,fjp/-------Department throughout the survey. In an opening interview with Mr. John Pratt,
Houston Refinery Manager, Ransdell stated that the hazard survey was a research effort by NIOSH to identify materials to which workers are exposed. Information on the refinery's medical-health-safety program was also requested as shown on the attached questionnaire. During the walk-around survey of the refinery, Ransdell talked primarily to department managers. He did not walk through any refinery facilities except the wax plant, maintenance shop, refinery laboratory, garage, and MTM-R&D laboratories. He did not make any effort to talk to operating personnel. Also, he did not make any extensive effort to evaluate exposures, but did note ventilation facilities in the shop and laboratories.
Ransdell requested from the department managers information on
the materials and physical agents to which the workers in their departments
were "exposed" on either a once-a-week or cumulative 24-hour per year basis.
His definition of being "exposed" was being subjected to gases, aerosols,
and dusts; open containers of liquids; skin contact with materials; noise;
heat; aiid radiation. Workers were not considered "exposed" to materials in
enclosed pipes and vessels unless these materials were sampled or transferred
in some way that they would become open to the atmosphere. Exposure to
leaks of liquids, gases, and dusts were not recorded unless the leaks
were "continuous" in nature.
1
For simplicity sake, Ransdell often classified materials as to whether they, were aromatic, aliphatic, paraffinic, olefinic, etc., in nature rather than getting an exact breakdown of the streams. He tried to obtain information on all materials used in the refinery which fell under the once-a-week or 24-hour yearly cumulative exposure criteria whether they were considered toxic or not. This included process streams, chemical process additives, laboratory reagents, water treat ment chemicals, garage materials, drafting materials, photographic chemicals, printing chemicals, and janitorial supplies. He collected detailed noise information from the refinery noise contour diagrams.

2- Exposure of all refinery personnel including managerial and professional staff were taken into account. The one weakness of the survey as I saw it was that Ransdell did not take time to walk through the process units and unit laboratories. A detailed list of materials recorded by Ransdell is attached.
