ABD00136613 pj IC ABERDEEN CHEMICAL PLANT INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE MONTHLY REPORT Month: July Date of Report: Aug. 14, 1984 Routine Chemical Dosimetry All Sample Results: ^_________ PEL No. % ^ PEL Overexposures No. % Chemical VCM Lead Total Particulates 90 97 3 25 100 0 4 100 0 3 0 0 Overexposures Job Class Exposure Source Lead Operator 1.3** ppm,VCM 1. The employee states that he spent his entire shift inside the vinyl control room. No reason for his overexposure has been identified. Yard Operator 1.7* ppm, VCM 2. Employee overexposed while hooking/unhooking VCM railcars and Corken compressor for maintenance at the VCM tank farm. Mechanic 50.3* ppm, VCM 3. Employee overexposed while changing out a valve in a VCM line in the old unit. * Respiratory protection was worn. ** Respiratory protection was not worn. ABD00136614 VCM Area Monitoring One sample was taken at each of the ten large reactor condensers, using REAL "minimontor" badges. The elevated results in the new unit (741 -745) were traced to leaks repaired on the same day of sampling.

The results will be reported following lab analysis of the samples. Lead Dosimetry Analysis The plant began using the services of CTEK, Inc., a Dallas, Texas based laboratory, for analysis of routine lead dosimetry samples. The benefits gained are reduced cost and reduced analysis turn-around time. Noise Control Report and Plan The annual Noise Contol Report and Plan was issued. OSHA "Hazard Communication" Rule Tentative plans were laid for achieving compliance with the OSHA "Hazard Communication" rule. The first step, establishing a list of plant chemicals by manufacturer and tradename, is planned to commence during August. Material Safety Data Sheets A copy of nine Material Safety Data Sheets were issued to the Maintenance Department. Material Safety Data Sheets for Plasticizer and Dry Blend were copied and issued to the Compound Operations Supervisor. rah cc: JF, JIJW, DWH, PJK, LPS, WFH, CRS, RAF, AHS, JVU Tom Grumbles - Houston J.
