Stenzel L. Birkner G. Vos J. Wilson C. Whaley C. Loafflar w. Tuka S. Chisua A. Miller D. Chisua X. Loabardozzi J. Dougherty Overall the plant's current procedures and practices protect the worker's health and contain the elements of a good I. H. Prograa. During the review, a number of items requiring action were identified and established as Action Iteas by the group. The agreed upon action iteas are described below. 1. A noise monitoring strategy has been developed. If sampling shows noise levels in excess of OSEA Standards, a hearing protection and conservation prograa and adainistrative procedure will be developed ianediately. The prograa will define responsibilities of the ZB, XR, and engineering functions' in documenting and implementing various phases of the prograa. 2. Capital expenditures such as engineering controls, process modifications, etc., to control employee exposure should be lined out on the capital plan as IH items. 3. An administrative procedure will be written to document the existing radiological health prograa, relative to the use of X-Ray sources by contract personnel on the plant site. 010485 CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY INFORMATION For Um VUfcln 0ILANX8E 4. The Industrial Hygiene AP will be modified to include industrial hygiene responsibility during emergency situations and upset conditions. Such procedures should include documentation of exposed employees and meterials involved. Where feasible and appropriate, exposure data should be collected. 5. Two items were identified under the Health Surveillance Program which re quire upgrading, these include: a) Procedures for biologic monitoring during exposure excursions where appropriate. b) Procedure to insure that the Facility Nurse reviews all dispensary reports and communicates to the IH incidents involving adverse effects from chemical exposure. Comment: Hie plant respiratory protection AP and implementation program have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. The program will provide adequate employee protection where engineering controls are not feasible and will bring the plant into complete compliance with OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910. 134. The Celanese Chemical Company, Inc., Department of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology, the Corporate Department of Environmental, Health and Safety Affairs, and the Corporate Law Department will be informed of the progress in these areas on a quarterly basis.
