Comments on Statistics There were three Recordable Injuries one of which was a Days-Away case in which an operator suffered second degree burns to her legs as a result of being sprayed with a concentrated solution of methyl iodide. One of the other Recordable Injuries Involved an operator striking his arm against a pump identification tag resulting in a laceration to the lower left arm requiring sutures. The third Recordable Injury involved an insulator who was struck in the mouth by a co-worker using wire nippers. Several teeth were cracked and displaced. 003202 LAM004216 r PMSB Meeting Minutes - September 15, 1982 c Page 2 Since the end of August there were two Recordable Injuries one of which was a Days-Away case. One involved an operator in Power 2 that received a laceration of his finger, the other involved an iron worker who got his foot caught underneath a bag filter cart resulting in serious sprained ankle and days away from work. All of these cases were discussed during the meeting. Trafton reported a rise in incidents of perspiration related chemical irritations, and George Danner pointed out that a relatively simple cooling device had been developed by the Materials Handling group that involved a loop of plastic tubing with holes in it to provide cooling underneath slicker suits when in the summer heat. Rising trend lines for injuries were noted for the following groups: 13/14/15/16, 19/25/27/29, Pumper Gaugers, Insulators, Boilermakers, Carpenters, Pipefitters, Department 53, Department 44/45/46. Although the Machinists show that they are well below last year's total experience, and well below target, they have experienced three Recordable Injuries this year. Good performers worthy of note this month: Shops continue to be well below their target; the Instrument Department continues without injury; Truckers and Laborers are well below their target; 48/56, no Injuries since February; Power 2 is well below their previous year. C. Contractor Safety--C.M. McCullough Total number of injuries is up with the number of manhours worked about the same. There was one Recordable when a man fell out of a pick-up truck. Detailed statistics for the Contractor group are attached to this minutes. D. CEP Project Safety--B.C. Lancaster August was a good month. Not many people working, however. Detailed statistics are attached. CED Project group expects the peak number of contract workers on the IDA Project to be about 100 people. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--C. F. Navarrete A. Permit Policy SAC reviewed our overall/permit system and our recommendations follow: 1. Establish new, uniform plantwide permit procedures to cover: a. Breaking into Process Equipment (previously covered by First Flange Rules) and 003203 LAM004217 r PMSB Meeting Minutes - September 15, 1982 c Page 3 b. Vehicle access to operating units. 2. Go to a two permit system; MAJOR (revised but not changed) o Cover: Fire Vessel Entry Special o Approval: Foreman & Above "MASTER TAG" (new) o Cover: Breaking into Process Equipment Vehicle Entry Work Permit (where required) o Approval: Chief/Leadmen 3. SHAC was assigned to develop the procedures and format for the "Master Tag" permit. We should target to begin Implementation before the end of 1982. B. Removal of Contaminated Clothing The following action plan was developed: 1. Policy - Kaldenberg Define the plant policy regarding the individual's commitment to remove contaminated clothing of the duties of those near the individual to assist as necessary. 2. Training - Glass/Steele Define training program to be given high priority in our training schedule, to insure that the risks of not removing contaminated clothing are understood, and that the proper attitude is developed toward the relative priorities of modesty and health. 3. Equipment - Glass Evaluate options and recommend changes to our system that would minimize the discomfort of those who have to undress under a safety shower. The recommended method should not prevent ready access to showers by those using or lending assistance and be reasonably cost effective. SC 003204 r PMSB Meeting Minutes - September IS, 1982 c Page 4 C. Cover Goggle Signs J.A. Glass reviewed a proposal for the cover goggle signs at the meeting. A bright yellow sign with the markings as indicated below will become the standard cover goggle sign to be posted at entrances to cover goggle areas. One suggestion: Where cover goggle areas are marked off as yellow stripes on the floor or concrete pad, they should have the symbol and legend shown below. COVER REQUIRED COVER GOGGLES REQUIRED IN THIS AREA The cover goggle signs were approved and an order will be placed by the Stores Department to stock a supply of signs. III.

Daues The following comments are made about the STOP Program: 1. Cards are still coming in, but slightly less than expected. 2. Next subject is Tools--working with Maintenance to lead the discussion. This starts next week. VII. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS Gene stated that he was disappointed in our recent rash of injuries. He established a target for the next two months without a Recordable Injury. We've done it before, he believes we can do it again. The STOP Program needs complete and total commitment on the part of all supervisors to make it work. 003206 LAM004220 rc TOTAL PLANT CONTRACTOR SAFETY r TOTAL INJURY CASES RECORDABLE CASES LOST WORK DAY CASES DAYS AWAY CASES TOTAL MANHOURS WORKED (MHW) FREQUENCY RATES/200,000 MHW TOTAL INJURY RATE TOTAL RECORDABLE INJURY RATE TOTAL LOST WORKDAY RATE TOTAL DAYS AWAY RATE ( 1982 YTD 40 10 2 331,643 24.1 6.0 1.2 Aug 82 8 1 1981 Totals 70 12 0 49,893 5 521,991 32.1 4.0 0.0 26.8 4.5 1.9 003207 SC LAM004221 Cummulative In ju rie s Cummulative TIR K 82 SAFETY TOTAL CONTRACTORS __ fotal Inj ifv . es -- Total Injury Rate 1981 Recordable Injuries Recordable Injury Rate i.uunnu i a t i ve K e co rd a b le I n ju r ie s C um m ulative RIR 1981 SC 003208 LAM004222 CED CONSTRUCTION TEXAS CITY PLANT ACCIDENT STATISTICS NUMBER OF CASES Lost Workdays (Days Away) Fatalities Total Injury Total Recordable - FREQUENCY RATES Total Injury Total Recordable Total Lost Workdays MANHOURS WORKED 7/82 0 0 5 0 , if 31.2 0 0 32,020 YTD 7/31/82 5 0 50 9 30.7 5.5 3.07 325,243 sc 003209 LAM004223 1982 SAFETY - TOTAL CONTRACTORS Total Injuries ------------------ Total Injury Rate Cummulative TIR C um m ulative RIR 1981 C 1/1 O CD U c as -Q <o "O &o (J ai ce <u > <0 0 Recordable Injuries ---------------------- Recordable Injury Rate sc 003210 LAM004224 ( \ TOTAL PLANT CONTRACTOR SAFETY TOTAL INJURY"CASES RECORDABLE CASES LOST WORK DAY CASES DAYS AWAY CASES TOTAL MANHOURS WORKED (MHW) FREQUENCY RATES/200,000 MHW TOTAL INJURY RATE TOTAL RECORDABLE INJURY RATE TOTAL LOST WORKDAY RATE TOTAL DAYS AWAY RATE 1982 YTD 32 9 2 281 ,750 22.7 6.4 1.4 July 82 3 2 1981 Totals 70. 12 0 49,203 5 521,991 12.2 8.1 0.0 26.8 4.5 1.9 L SC 003211 LAW1004225 1982 Safety - Capital Projects : Total Injuries Cummulative In ju rie s Cummulative TIR Cun; la t iv e R ecordable I n ju r ie s Recordable Injuries Recordable Injury Rate C um m ulative RIR SC 003212 LAM004226 CAPITAL PROJECTS CONTRACTORS - TOTAL INJURY CASES RECORDABLE CASES LOST WORK DAY CASES DAYS AWAY CASES 982 YTO : 20 _______4____________ Julv 82 2 1 20 TOTAL MANHOURS WORKED (MHW) 132,927.5 FREOUENCY RATES/200,000 MHW 24,040 OTAL INJURY RATE TOTAL RECORDABLE INJURY RATE TOTAL LOST WORKDAY RATE TOTAL DAYS AWAY RATE 30.1 6.0 3.0 16.6 8.3 0.0- 1981 Totals 22 4 2 161,709 27.2 4.9 2.4 SC 003213 c LAM004227
