Comments on Statistics--R. T. Hammann There were two Recordable Injuries in June.

The second injury was to an operator in Department 51 who was struck by a falling magnet resulting in a laceration requiring two sutures. V. SC 002433 LAM003640 PMSB Meeting Minutes--July 27, 1983 Page 2 So far in July, we have had two Recordable Injuries. All four of these recent injuries were the result of inattention or unsafe prac tices by the injured or another person. All of this points to the need for increased awareness on the part of all personnel in the plant. Areas having a high cumulative monthly injury rate are: Power 2 Painters Pumper Gaugers Analysts Trucke rs/Labo re rs Areas having a high cumulative monthly injury rate, but showing significant improvement in recent months are: Dept. 50 Dept. 53 Insulators Areas showing much improvement and getting their injury rate under control are: Depts. 44/45/46 Electricians Areas having excellent safety records are: Dept. 33 Machinists - Dept. 513 - Stores - 5 months without an injury 10 months without an injury 17 months without an injury C. Contractor Safety--R. L. Hammond Recordable Injuries are also increasing in the contractor area with two Recordable Injuries in June. At present the Recordable Injury Rate Is higher than last year. Statistics for June are attached. D. CEP Safety--B. C. Lancaster The number of Recordable Injuries in CED construction was high with three occurring in June, one of which is questionable and may be changed to a First Aid Case. In July there are already six Recordable -Injuries with four being the result of cuts sustained while handling the packing for 16D1. Increased safety efforts are being taken including the hiring of two safety personnel to cover the shutdown. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--G. A. Danner A. Locks--Security The completed survey of other plants, both Monsanto and non-Monsanto, showing a wide variety of systems. However, it was not much help in Sc 002434 LAM003641 PMSB Meeting Minutes--July 27, 1983 Page 3 determining what would be the best system for the Texas City plant. SAC's recommendation for the Texas City plant would be to continue to use Best locks for those areas requiring security measures (examples: gates, doors, cabinets, etc.). It is felt that this would take approximately 1,000 locks. The rest of the locking system in the plant would be handled on a departmental basis with orders going through Purchasing. These locks would be much cheaper ^approximately $8.00 each vs the $35.00 each for Best locks). This project will be turned over to SHAC to develop procedures and policies for handling the lock system within the plant. III. REPORT OF THE PLANT SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING ACTION COMMITTEE (SHAC)-- A. H. Conrad A. Hourly Safety Committee Five of the eight members were present. 1. A discussion took place concerning the lack of hourly partici pation in the S-T-0-P program. Reasons given for this were: a. Time required to write cards. b. lack of motivation, and c. the feeling that these could be used against an individual and information put in his Personnel file. 2. A status report was given on the following items: a. Cooling tower fan brake - A prototype brake is currently being fabricated to be installed on CT-3. If this is suc cessful, plans are to install these on all operating cooling towers. b. Holeman responsibilities - To be discussed later. 3. The following new concerns were discussed and will be answered: a. Coveralls not thoroughly laundered. b. Operating crane in SM area not barricated. c. Use of restroom while working with asbestos, NSI, etc. 4. The new committee members were elected and will be present at the next Hourly Safety Committee meeting. B. Second Quarter Safety & Housekeeping Inspection This inspection is complete and all reports have been issued. Currently, replies are being received. SC 002435 LAM003642 PMSB Meeting Minutes--July 27, 1983 Page 4 Winners of the inspection were: Department 513 Instrument Shop Stores Monomers Lab The following recommendations were made and will be implemented in future inspections: 1. The composition of the laboratory inspection team will be changed to include more laboratory personnel. 2. Will review the grouping of offices and services for award (i.e., may be grouped according to General Superintendent). C. Annual Safety & Housekeeping Inspection This year's inspection will be conducted by Texas City personnel. Harry Conrad will discuss further with Gene Tromblee before com position of the inspection team is announced. The following recom mendations were made by SHAC for this inspection: 1. Inspection will be conducted in late September. 2. Annual and Third Quarter Inspection will be combined. 3. Schedule change will allow recap time each day. 4. Area maintenance shops will be Included in each unit inspection. 5. Schedule will be rearranged to mix units and other areas on a daily basis. 6. One night inspection of selected areas will be conducted (this would be in addition to the normal daytime inspection). D. Holeman Duties Comments that were received from plant personnel were incorporated into the procedure. This procedure was approved by PMSB and will be issued as an addendum to Procedure Bulletin P-0117j Fire, Entry, and Special Permit Procedure. It will also be sent out as a SHAC Alert to ensure dissemination of the information. E. SHAC Alerts/Bulletins The following SHAC Alerts and Bulletins were issued: 1. Nitrogen Backflow Preventers 2. Proper Use of Chainfalls LAM003643 3. Recordable Injuries to Boilermaker in Dept. 15, Operator in Dept. 51, and Pipefitter in Dept. 16. SC 002436 PMSB Meeting Minutes--July 27, 1983 Page 5 F. Future Programs 1. Bicycle Safety Rules - expect to have draft copy issued by 8/1. 2. Contractor Safety - expect draft of the new guidelines to be issued by 9/1. IV. REVIEW OF INCIDENTS Monsanto Incidents Date Incident No. Description 06/20/83 83-07 (Issued) Recordable Injury--Dept. 15; boilermaker struck left index finger with four pound sledge hammer.

(Supak) STATUS OF S -T-O-P PROGRAM--G. W. Daues The number of S-T-O-P cards being received has continued to be in the 500-600 per month range. The number of cards received per exempt employee is about one per month in operating areas and somewhat lower in other departments. We have completed the last unit of training for Chiefs/Leadmen. The rating sheets that were received were generally positive and indicate that the individuals are taking the course seriously. The S-T-O-P program for non-exempt personnel has been written. The first of three units is ready to be printed. The other two units are being proofed. The Hourly program has been written and proofreading is in progress.

OSHA Inspection Contact was made with the OSHA inspector to determine if they had received results from their sampling, since we have had our results for over two weeks. They had not as yet received the results and indicate that due to moving their laboratory, they do not expect the results for at least two more weeks. The results of our tests showed 0.21 and 0.23 fibers/cc which is well below the ceiling limit of 10 fibers/cc for a fifteen minute sample. As soon as the results are received from their laboratory the OSHA inspector will contact Bob Hammann to set up a closing conference. VII. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS We went five months and three weeks in the plant with only two Recordable Injuries. The last five weeks we have had four Recordable Injuries. Two areas (EB/Styrene and AN-5) have had the majority of these Recordable Injuries and need to be especially aware and make additional efforts to review work thoroughly with their personnel. Overall in the plant we need to tighten up and increase our emphasis on the S-T-O-P program and one-on-one contact. Awareness on everyone's part is important in order to assure a safe workplace for all of our personnel. Attachments RTH/es R. T.
