SUBJECT: HS&E Procedure for Industrial Hygiene Monitoring and Data Evaluation
REF:
Shell Oil Company/Shell Pipe Line Corporation Service Agreement
Shell Oil Company has been conducting industrial hygiene monitoring for a number of years. During that time there has been an increase in the demands and requirements on the data. It is timely to publish a common set of principles and practices which locations and Head Office can use in administering industrial hygiene monitoring programs. A joint Head Office and location task force has completed a draft HS&E Procedure which i is attached for your review and approval. An HS&E Procedure by definition (attached) requires the approval of the responsible HS&E Department Manager and in this case the functional Health & Safety Managers.
The procedure defines a method initially to determine compliance with Shell Internal Standards (SISs) and OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs). The procedure also includes provisions for periodic monitoring if the exposures approach or exceed the SISs or PELs.
We believe the procedure will provide the assurance necessary to determine compliance or non-compliance. The goal is to make accurate decisions with the minimum required amount of data.
The procedure, designed to integrate past and current monitoring programs, has been reviewed by manufacturing locations at two different stages of its development. It utilizes available capabilities of the Health Surveillance System. It provides a systematic approach to interpreting past data and to planning monitoring programs.
The procedure is more directly applicable to those locations with on-site health and safety staff. Often, HS&E-Industrial Hygiene Services (IHS) provides monitoring when requested by locations without monitoring expertise. In these cases, IHS will apply the procedure with, if necessary, modifications mutually agreeable with the location.

HS&E PROCEDURE FOR INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE MONITORING & DATA EVALUATION
I. Introduction
Industrial hygiene monitoring has been routinely conducted at Shell Oil Company locations to measure chemical exposures. The monitoring typically involves personal sampling of the potentially exposed employees but may also include area and source air sampling. The monitoring is conducted for one or more of the following reasons.
A. To comply with monitoring requirements in OSHA Health Standards (Asbestos, Ethylene Oxide, Vinyl Chloride).
B. To evaluate compliance with OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).
C. To evaluate compliance with Shell Internal Standards (SISs).
D. To evaluate conformance with other, valid, published exposure limits (e.g., ACGIH).
E. In support of Shell Medical Surveillance Programs (Benzene, Asbestos).
F. To investigate special concerns such as:
1. Employees with recognized health effects 2. Medical concerns 3. Employee Complaints 4. Exposure levels of materials whose toxicologic
significance may be changing 5. Regulatory changes and requests for information
F. To evaluate the effect of an engineering or procedural change on exposure level.
G. In response to an emergency (spill, leak).
H. In support of epidemiology studies.
Most existing OSHA Standards (29 CFR 1910.1000) merely specify a PEL above which employees should not be exposed. There are no formal monitoring requirements for the approximately 400 chemicals in this category.

II. Purpose
Initially industrial hygiene monitoring was conducted to evaluate compliance with allowable exposure limits (i.e., PELs, SISs) and to maintain surveillance through periodic monitoring. While this basic purpose remains, the demands on our industrial hygiene monitoring program have expanded. The monitoring data have been used increasingly to arrive at decisions regarding capital expenditures for exposure control, in submissions to trade organizations and Federal agencies to influence regulatory activity, and for in-house risk assessments to name a few of the major uses. Because of the significant decisions that rely on monitoring data, it is essential to continue emphasis and quality in our programs. For these reasons, a procedure consisting of basic principles and direction in the conduct of I.H. monitoring and evaluation of I.H. monitoring data has been developed. The procedure addresses:
A. How many samples are needed to make a decision? B. How should the data be evaluated? C. What is the right amount of repeat or periodic monitoring?
The procedure provides a method for conducting and interpreting I.H. monitoring. It is based largely on our experiences and judgements and makes use of limited statistical analyses. Its development also included extensive review of published sampling strategies and statistical workups by NIOSH, OSHA, academia, and industry. Where practical and beneficial, information and methods from these sources were incorporated. Since there is continuing research and study on the subject of I.H. sampling strategy, the procedure will be periodically reviewed for change and improvements.
The OSHA sampling strategy in many of its health standards is based on the probability of exceeding the PEL or an action level (usually one-half of the PEL). This procedure makes use of this concept, but more fully defines the minimum sampling requirements to improve the probability of correctly judging compliance. Our goal is to make accurate decisions with the minimum required amount of data.
For evaluating monitoring data, this procedure assumes substantial compliance is achieved when exposures are at or below the OSHA PEL or Shell Internal Standard at least 95% of the time. This determination is included in the definition of the Shell Internal Standard and it is also the criterion NIOSH has previously recommended.
The monitoring strategy in this procedure assumes the industrial hygienist or industrial hygiene technician uses his best judgement in accounting for variables such as weather, seasonal changes, process upsets, differences in workshifts. The procedure is considered a minimum. Additional samples may be required to evaluate numerous variables which may exist, or in some

circumstances to comply with specific OSHA Health Standards. A flow chart illustrating the procedure has been attached.
III. Initial Monitoring Strategy
--
If industrial hygiene monitoring has not previously been conducted or if significant changes in the work place or work practices have occurred and previous data may no longer be representative, then the following steps are appropriate.
A. Qualitative Assessment
1. Identify jobs (JEPs) with the potential chemical exposure.
2. Assess relative exposure potential for each JEP (highest to lowest)
B. Quantitative Assessment
Industrial hygiene monitoring is typically conducted on a job (JEP) basis. That is, the monitoring or sampling data are considered representative of the job's exposures. Therefore the number of samples collected must be adequate to take into account the day-to-day and shift-to-shift variability of exposures in the job and the variability between individuals when more than one work the job. For this reason a number of samples are usually required for initial evaluation. The following tables recommend the minimum number of samples per JEP, and the minimum number of individuals and shifts to be sampled. The recommended minimum increases with the number of individuals working in the job. Since the following recommendations are minimums, judgment should be used in collecting more samples if the JEP has significant work task variation from day-to-day or shift-to-shift. Since nearly all JEPs may be described as being either rotating or fixed shifts, separate tables for each have been developed.
Where more than one job category is involved, jobs with the highest exposure potential must be monitored first. For example, three of five operating jobs on a particular unit may be evaluated first; monitoring coverage would then be expanded if warranted based on the initial monitoring results.

1 Should include day and night shifts if there are differences in exposure potential between shifts.
2 Should consider sampling at higher range of shifts with few employees per shift.
3 Assumes four employees required to cover job with one employee per shift, rotating shifts, 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
4 Assumes % of employees (from preceding column) who can work the JEP are sampled 3-5 shifts each.
The following examples illustrate the use of these tables.
Example 1: Assume 4 painters work straight days (fixed shifts), and solvent exposure levels need to be determined. Table 1 (fixed shifts) recommends sampling at least 2 of the 4 painters (50%) for 3-5 different workdays. This would result in a minimum of 6 samples. To improve the representativeness of the data, consider dividing the 6 samples among all 4 painters or as many of them as possible. Also, the 6 samples need not be collected just on 2 painters for each of 3 days. The sampling could be spread over more than 3 days and possibly improve the representativeness of the data.

Example 2: Assume a Dockman works rotating 8-hour shifts round the clock each day of the year and benzene exposure levels need to be determined. There are 3 Dockraen working on any one shift, with a total of 12. The Dockmen load one barge-of benzene per week. According to Table 1 (rotating shifts), at least 9 samples should be collected. They should be collected on as many different dockmen as possible but on no less than 3 (25% of 12) different dockmen. It may take several weeks to complete sampling for the initial monitoring since only 1 benzene barge is loaded per week.
The initial monitoring for the quantitative assessment should be completed in the shortest time period necessary to collect a representative set of exposure data. Selection of the study duration will be a case-by-case determination.
IV. Analysis of Initial Monitoring Results
The minimum number of samples specified in Section III are necessary in order to perform the following statistical test and screen of the data. The purpose of the statistical test is to screen the initial results into data sets which clearly fall below the allowable exposure limit* (AEL) or which require more samples to determine compliance or non-compliance. For those data sets clearly below the AEL, an appropriate frequency of periodic monitoring is established based on relative exposure to the AEL and the potential hazard of the material. For example, the greater the health hazard or the closer the data are to the AEL, more frequent follow-up monitoring is indicated for that JEP.
The statistical test consists of comparing the 80% upper confidence limit of the geometric mean of the data to the AEL. This parameter was selected after examining numerous existing data sets. It was found to be a relatively reliable indicator for initially screening data for substantial compliance when used as described in Tables 2 and 3.
* May be the PEL, TLV, SIS, or other exposure limit for which a compliance determination is necessary.

If, in the judgement of the industrial hygienist or the Health and Safety Manager, the initial monitoring data clearly show exposure potential above the AEL, then collection of the full 20 sample minimum is unnecessary. In these circumstances, take the appropriate control actions and refer to Table 4 for frequency of monitoring.
C Collect minimum of 20 TWA (previously collected samples included) within three months and plot on cumulative frequency distribution graph per Section V.

V. Analysis of Expanded Monitoring Results
This step in the procedure should be applied to ascertain both _ compliance and non-compliance with the AEL and the appropriate frequency for periodic monitoring. The following may also be useful in analyzing data in an on-going periodic monitoring program for trends, the impact of a change in the AEL, or reestablishing a suitable periodic monitoring frequency.
The additional data available at this step permit using the cumulative frequency distribution method to determine directly whether JEP exposures are in substantial compliance (i.e., 95% of the monitoring results are at or below the AEL). The cumulative frequency plot is illustrated below and the method is available on Stat-Graph. An example of a Stat-Graph Plot is included as Attachment II.
Cumulative Frequency Distribution
% Exposures < Stated Value
The cumulative frequency results should be compared to Table 4 to determine appropriate periodic monitoring frequency. The monitoring frequency is a function of 2 factors: 1) the exposure levels relative to the AEL; and 2) the health hazard of the material. The monitoring frequency is increased as the exposure levels approach the AEL and as the potential health hazard increases.
In some cases, the recommended periodic monitoring frequency may not provide sufficient data to permit statistical analysis each year. However, these cases are limited to situations and JEPs which are already under relatively good control and for which exceeding the AEL is unlikely.

MATERIAL SAMPLING PRIORITY
In addition to exposure potential, the hazard of the material is a factor in establishing industrial hygiene sampling strategy. In general, the more hazardous the material, the greater the need for industrial hygiene monitoring. For example, a known human carcinogen will require more frequent industrial hygiene monitoring than a nuisance dust. To take into account the significance of hazard, two sampling priorities, I and II, are established. They are defined as follows:
Priority I Materials which have the potential to produce irreversible acute or chronic health effects, e.g., carcinogens, reproductive hazards, neurotoxins, hepatotoxins, and fibrosis-producing dusts. Examples: Benzene, Vinyl Chloride, Epichlorohydrin, Oxitol (2-ethoxy ethanol), Inorganic and Organic Lead, Ethylene Oxide, Ethylene Dibromide, Asbestos, Crystalline Silica, Hydrogen Sulfide, Chlorine, all materials that require counseling under the Protection of the Embryo/ Fetus Policy.
Priority II* * Materials which may produce only reversible acute or chronic health effects including typically irritants and nuisance dusts. Examples: Acetone, Isopropyl Alcohol, VM&P Naphtha. Materials for which there is industrial hygiene monitoring data in the Health Surveillance System have been reviewed and categorized as follows:
*Listed for the purpose of establishing IH sampling priority. This category is not intended for any other purpose. Those substances not designated with 'I' are considered Priority II.

HAND CALCULATION OF 80* UCL - EXAMPLE
Assume 10 random samples (X) for benzene have been collected on a Tank Truck Operator. The TLV for benzene is 10 ppm. In order to determine whether the data is Category A, B, C or D, the 80% upper confidence limit of the geometric mean must be calculated and compared to the allowable exposure limit (AEL) for
benzene.
All calculations are performed by using log transformed values and then converting. All X values are in ppm.
Step 1 - Calculate geometric mean

Step 3 - Calculate the 80% UCL (log transformed) 80% UCL = log 7 +.0.842 log s/\TrT = 0.39 + (0.842)(0.61)/n/IcT = 0.55

Step 4 - Convert by taking the antilog 80% UCL = antilog 0.55 = 3.55
This job would be Category B since 3.55 ppm is >.l x AEL but .5 x AEL
NOTE: The use of a hand calculator with statistics functions will greatly speed up the calculations in Steps 1 and 2.

PERSONAL SAMPLE TYPE DEFINITIONS
TWA - (Time-Weighted Average) is a sample with a minimum sample time of the full shift less one hour, i.e., 7 of 8, 9 of 10, or 11 of 12 hours. If the sample time is less than this minimum but zero exposure time for the unsampled period can be and is documented, then the sample can be considered a TWA. The "TWA Determination Section" of the Industrial Hygiene Sample Form should be completed according to previously issued instructions. If a sample is intended to be a TWA, but the minimum sample time as defined above is not achieved, the "TWA Determination Section" of the Sample Form should be completed as "TWA Cannot Be Calculated".
Peak - Samples represent specific short-term tasks ranging from 1-30 minutes in duration. When feasible, try to attain a sample time of 15 minutes of duration of the task, not to exceed 30 minutes.
Task - Samples represent specific tasks exceeding 30 minutes duration, but not representative of the TWA exposure. Examples of such tasks would be loading/unloading of a tank car or truck, gauging, or decontaminating a pump for maintenance.
PEAK/TASK SAMPLE FREQUENCY
When feasible, peak samples (or task if duration exceeds 30 minutes) should be taken in conjunction with TWA sampling during initial deter mination of Priority I chemicals. This sampling should be done regard less of the OSHA peak/ceiling or ACGIH STEL status for the chemical being monitored. The purpose of this monitoring is to further charac terize the exposure profile of the job. Subsequent samples should be taken if initial TWA determination results in Categories B, C or D.
OFFSHIFT SAMPLING
Jobs with multiple or rotating shifts should be evaluated for differences in job activities between shifts. It is normally most practical to sample on day shifts and this is appropriate where activities on all shifts are virtually the same. However, if exposure potential varies with the shift, it will probably be necessary to consider alternate means of collecting representative data.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURES WITH POTENTIALLY ADDITIVE HEALTH EFFECTS
Where multiple exposures occur to materials which act upon the same organ system, e.g., they are irritants, narcotic, hepatotoxic, etc., their combined effect, rather than that of either individually, should be considered as additive. In these situations, the initial quantitative determination should be analyzed by adding the 80% upper confidence limits about the mean for the additive materials, and then identifying the sum as Category A, B, C or D by the standard criteria. If the sum falls into Categories C or D, then additional monitoring should be conducted for each of the additive materials. After the additional monitoring is conducted, the results should be analyzed by adding the 95% level of the Cumulative Frequency Distribution for each of the additive materials. The sum should then be compared to the standard criteria for determination of periodic monitoring frequency. Each of the additive materials should be monitored according to this frequency.
Examples:
Assume that for one JEP, both Allyl Chloride (AC) and Epichlorohydrin (ECH) are monitored. These materials have potentially additive toxic effects. Therefore, the combination of the exposures should be considered in the evaluation of industrial hygiene monitoring data, and in the determination of sampling strategy. The following cases represent examples of applying the standard criteria to the combination of exposures:
Case 1
The initial quantitative survey showed -
- The 80% UCL of mean for ECH < 0.1 SIS (Shell Internal Standard)
- The 80% UCL of mean for AC < 0.1 PEL
- Since the sum of the 80% UCLs does not clearly exceed 0.1 PEL, this would remain Category A with a reassessment in two years because of the Material Sampling Priority (I) of the two materials.
CAD8606301B
LAM 000743
DPMC-16445
2
Case 2
The initial quantitative survey showed -
- The 80% UCL of mean for ECH < 0.1 SIS
- The 80% UCL of mean for AC = 0.4 PEL
- In this case, the sum of the 80% UCLs is between 0.4 and 0.5 PEL, placing the JEP in Category B. As a result, the initial quantitative survey should be repeated in one year.
Case 3 The initial quantitative survey showed -
- The 80% UCL of mean for ECH = 0.2 SIS
- The 80% UCL of mean for AC = 0.3 PEL
- In this case, the sum of the 80% UCLs is 0.5 PEL, placing the JEP in Category C. Additional samples should be collected for both ECH and AC. After 20 samples of each are obtained, assume the following results are obtained:
95% cumulative frequency level for ECH = 0.4 SIS 95% cumulative frequency level for AC = 0.4 PEL
Since the sum of the 95% cumulative frequency levels is 0.8 PEL and the Material Sampling Priority is I, the JEP should be periodically monitored two times per quarter for each material.

ATTACHMENT VII EXPOSURE MONITORING FOR MAINTENANCE TURNAROUNDS
General Information
In addition to monitoring normal operating periods and daily maintenance activities, exposure monitoring should be performed for unit turnarounds and other significant maintenance activities, e.g., tank cleaning, demolition involving asbestos, etc. Turnarounds represent a potential for employee exposure during the decontamination of process equipment, equipment opening, and unit start-up. Exposure monitoring during these activities on operators, pipefitters, boilermakers and others reflects how well the existing equipment and established procedures control exposure. After an initial evaluation, monitoring should be considered on subsequent shutdowns if there are changes in the procedures and/or to verify adequacy of work procedures. The frequency of monitoring turnarounds for verification of procedures will depend on the hazardous properties of the materials and the potential for exposure. The following table illustrates an example.
