The rate of 369 days eclipses all former records. - 2- SL 104205 All divisions except Glass and Paint recorded decreases in severity rates for the year. Twenty-three organizations had rates lower than the company rat for 1957. Twenty-five organizations achieved reductions in their rates in comparison with 1956. The company's severity rate, not including 6,000 penalty days assessed for one fatal injury, is 253. One employee was fatally injured during the year. The injury occurred at Works No. li, Ford City, when glass fell from a rack and struck the employee. In compliance with the American Standards Association Code and the National Safety Council, we were assessed a penalty of 6,000 days for this fatality. Eight injuries resulted in partial permanent disabilities. Five were amputations of fingers or parts of fingers, one amputation of thumb, one amputation of part of thumb and one amputation of leg above the knee. For these injuries we were assessed a total of 6,51)5 days. ANALYSIS An analysis of the 228 disabling injuries reveals that 65 or 29$ of them were the result of "sprains and strains" of which 60$ were so-called "back sprains." "Struck by or against objects" accounted for 2h%. "Struck by or against glass" 15$, "falls" 13$, of which "falls to lower level" caused 63$ of them. "Caught between objects" accounted for 9$, "burns" 6% and "miscellaneous" U$, From the age group standpoint, about 28$ of the disabling injuries occurred to employees between the ages 18 to 30. Fifty per cent were from 31 to 50 and 22$ over age 50. Approximately 35$ of the injuries occurred to employees with five years or less service and U6$ of these were to those with less than one year service. Employees with service records of 6 to 20 years had 5l$ of the injuries. Those with over 20 years' service had 1U$. From this analysis we realize that better selection of employees and increased emphasis on adequate induction procedures, followed by intensive on-the-job training is necessary to prevent the new employee from being injured. The same is true where employees transfer from one job to another. Selection from the standpoint of ability and physical fitness and on-the-job training should eliminate many of the injuries occurring to older and longer service employees. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION PROGRAM The Physical Examination Program is continuing in all organizations. Pre employment physical examination aids in better placement of applicants, eliminating those considered unsuitable for employment. Recheck examinations of employees absent from work due to non-occupational injury or illness are made to determine employees' fitness for return to work. Where exposure to toxic materials exists, a program of special examinations conducted periodically is in force to protect the employees' health. In the Glass Division, the yearly physical and x-ray examination is made of employees exposed to silica or asbestos dust. The aluminum dust therapy treatments for employees thus exposed in the Ford City and Creighton plants are continuing. Some 167 employees received this course of treatment in 1957 which totalled about U,522 individual treatments. -3- SL 104206 In the Paint Division the routine check examination is being made of employees exposed to lead and other toxic substances. This program will be expanded when conditions warrant. Periodic physical examinations are made of employees exposed to toxic materials in the Columbia-Southern Chemical plants, with special tests to determine the effect, if any, on the individual from the type of material to which he has been exposed. Due to the expansion in this industry and the new products manufactured, this program will continue and will expand, INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE Our company is a member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation, We use the facilities and services of this organization to make surveys of special operations in our plants to determine degree of exposure of employees to certain toxic elements and to make recommendations for eliminating or controlling this exposure. Several of these surveys have been made during the past year. We have arranged for and participated in these surveys and conferences, and we follow up on the suggestions and recommendations made. Studies on some specific exposures are continuing at this time. We likewise cooperate with the various state agencies when they conduct special investigations or surveys of conditions in our plants. FIRE PREVENTION A campaign of fire prevention has been carried on throughout the year. House keeping has been stressed, as it is a major factor in both accident and fire prevention. Most organizations have improved their housekeeping through a program of monthly inspection and a follow up on recommendations until compliance. Our department checks on monthly inspection reports and fire brigade training drills from each unit. On plant trips we make an inspection of the entire plant from the standpoint of safety, fire prevention and fire protection. Likewise, we check on the suggestions and recommendations of the fire insurance company inspectors. Fire prevention is supplemented by fire protection and all plants are well equipped with first aid fire extinguishers and have an ample supply of hose and auxiliary equipment for fighting fires. Fire brigades are organized and well trained in most organizations. Through fire drills and demonstrations, brigades can function efficiently in times of emergency. In many plants the entire personnel is trained in the use of the first aid fire extinguishers. Cooperation between municipal and/or volunteer fire departments and the plant brigades is excellent. Our fire record for 1957 is not as favorable as it was for 1956. Increased interest in the prevention of all fires, even the most minor ones, is necessary to eliminate 'the possibility of their occurring, A more detailed report on fires occurring in 1957 will be issued later. EMERGENCY PROGRAM The Emergency or Disaster Control Programs initiated in the Columbia-Southern Chemical plants are continuing and w hope to extend them into other organizations of our company. Through these programs, plants can be more self-dependent during times of emergency, especially when public assistance is not available. -U - SL 104207 SAFE DRIVING CAMPAIGN Th safe driving campaign has been carried on throughout the year in all plants and in the Merchandising Division, and expanded to include all who drive in company business. This has increased our mailing list. The volume of promotional material sent out monthly has increased greatly and we hope will bring better results, A separate detailed report for 1957 will be issued when all the reports from the units are received and tabulated. PUBLICATIONS The Safety Manual developed by our department during 1956 has been issued to all plants and to all units of the Merchandising Division. All new units are being supplied with the manual. We feel it has been a contribution to safety in all units Our library of safety and fire prevention films has been developed through the years. During 1957 we added additional films to keep our library up to date. We have developed a film catalog, which has been issued to all company operations. Our films are in constant circulation in the plants and to a limited degree at sales meetings in the Merchandising Division. Their use as a training medium in safety, fire prevention and safe driving has been worthwhile. 1957 - 1958 Our company's industrial injury record for 1957 is proof of the results which can be attained when all combine their efforts to make safety in their individual units a reality. Many of the individual organizations have made outstanding records Others can do likewise. The prevention of injuries is our goal. The 1957 record presents a challenge. What we have accomplished in 1957 should be a stimulus to greater effort in 1958, to not only equal, but to improve our records in each unit. A live and progressive safety and fire prevention program will bring results. It has been a privilege and a pleasure working with all organizations during the past year. Your interests are our interests and your cooperation has stimulated our efforts in your behalf. We wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to each organization for this wonderful cooperation. Our efforts will be expended to assist you in any way possible. Together we can make 1958 a safer year. Respectfully submitted. TRD/kb Attachments SL 104208 PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS COMPANY Industrial Injury Report YEAR-19?7 FREQUENCY MAN HOURS P. P. G.
