Kapura Jim Kucera WEST PLANT STATUS/PROGRESS REPORT The following safety related items are listed status and progress: Fire Hose Reels CP'T' -their During the recent freeze several hard rubber hoses on the fire hose reels suffered damage to the equipment either by split hoses or cracked elbow joints. All of this equipment has been repaired and is in operable condition. Safety Showers W <_ 'cAc j xA u All safety showers in the plant experienced some form of freeze damage. The brand of showers that we use are not comparable to the ones in the east plant. Plus they were a combination of two different brands. We still will have different brand parts on the showers when they become operable. Most of the broken parts have been replaced by Encon shower parts. This is to try and standardize the showers to be the same as the ones in the east plant. At least one shower in each process unit has been repaired and is in use. We are now in an interim stage waiting for parts to be delivered from the vendor and parent company supplier. We expect to have all showers operable in three to four weeks. Deluge Systems CH/W-000508 Immediately following the freeze, the damage to the system was investigated. Sepecial parts had to be orderd from the company that sold and installed the system. The parts were found in San Antonio, Atlanta and' California. They were expedited to us by the Automatic Sprinkler Corporation. We now have all of the deluge systems broken valves, strainers, and pipes replaced. Each individual system will be tested to examine for unobserved damage. They can now be activated and are operabl^pEo^j-..yangj emergency because any leak would be of minor stature. JAM 2 3 1984 SAFETY & LOSS West. Plant Statu.
