ANNUAL REPORT SAFETY DEPARTMENT 1967 INDUSTRIES and Pittsburgh-Corning Corporation INDUSTRIES PPG INDUSTRIES, INC./ONE GATEWAY CENTER/PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA 15222/AREA 412/281-5100 R. f. SPERRING, General Manager Window Glass Plants, Glass Division June 4, 1968 Mr. H. C. Underwood Manager, Safety & Plant Protection The Annual Report for 1967 of the Safety Department is a concise presentation of the most vital statistics. It is a valuable source for future reference as well as a guide to the areas for increased effort in an on-going safety program for improvement. I wish to congratulate you and your department on this compilation. You have indicated in the Foreword that all comments are "most welcome." I offer no criticism or suggestions on the report matter, but I do wish to register to you my concern over several of the conclusions to which the statistics unfailingly lead. The compilation of direct accident costs indicates a corporate rise and an almost identical level of Glass Divisional costs for 1967 as compared to 1966, This is so even in the face of the new corporate low in frequency and the improvement in frequency within the Division. It points out to me that our attention to severity rates must be increased, and that accident costs remain high and are an area for intensive work, first of all in prevention. Also, your state ments on page 4 in regard to new employee safety orientation, safety job training, improved guarding and job instruction for both new and transferred employees are most pertinent and I second them wholeheartedly. The assistance of your department in reviewing the efforts for improvement in these areas in the Window Glass plants and your continuing critique of these efforts will be most valuable. I take some satisfaction in noting the improvement in Window Glass in frequency from 2.8 to 2.1 and in severity from 994 to 99 respectively, for 1967 as compared to 1966. Even more, this serves to point out how Si i03 Mr. H. C. Underwood -2- .lune 4 , 1968 much room for improvement there is and that safety efforts require intensi fication more than ever at such a time. I am convinced that the plant managers believe this completely and that their plant programs are conceived and carried out in that belief. am R. F. Bovard W. F. Gaunder D. E. West W. M. Elbl C. P. McAllister G. L. Golightly SL 103772 FOREWORD This report includes SS reporting units, including: All Corporation plants; Standard Chemical Corporation, Beauharnois Plant; Houston Chemical Corporation, Beaumont Plant; and certain Distribution and Sales groups of the Coatings and Resins Division, The Pittsburgh Corning Corporation includes four reporting units. statistical data for these units is not included in the Corporate statistics, but is shown separately. The Your comments with respect to this report are most welcome. CORPORATE SUMMARY FREQUENCY RATE; 196? - 1.8 1966 - 2.2 This rate reflects the number of disabling injuries per million manhours exposure computed on the basis of the United States of America Standards Institute formula: Disabling Injuries x 1,000,000 Frequency Rate = Manhours Worked The 1967 corporate frequency of 1.8 established a new all-time low for the Corporation. SEVERITY RATE: 1967 - 659 1966 - 50li This rate reflects the number of days lost per million manhours exposure computed on the basis of the United States of America Standards Institute formula: Days Lost x 1,000,000 Severity Rate = Manhours Worked It is alarming that our Severity Rate has been steadily increasing since 196U, the year in which our corporate low of 331 was established. In 1967> fourteen serious injuries occurred, U fatalities are included in this figure. The remaining cases involved the loss as indicated. Fatalities Leg Works #9 Barberton Natrium Lake Charles Zanesville Toe Finger(s) Works #9 Works #11 Works #50 (2) Works #52 (3) Beaumont One Eye Natrium The total days charged for these cases is based on the charges specified by the United States of America Standards Institute, Code Z16.1.

As a result, these plants earned the Company's Award of Honor. These plants are as follows: 1967 PPG Industries Beauharnois Works #3 Works /f27 Glass Research (Second Consecutive Year) Shop #2 Gas Department (Fifth Consecutive Year) Delaware (Third Consecutive Year) Springdale Cleveland Houston East Point San Francisco (Seventh Consecutive Year) Milwaukee (Third Consecutive Year) Newark Pittsburgh Corning Corporation Sedalia In 1967, nine plants earned the Company's Award of Merit for a "significant safety accomplishment." The former basis for this award, which was merely a frequency record better than the corporate average, was changed in 1963. The award is now made to -3- those plants who have not attained a perfect record but have made a significant safety accomplishment. This change has reduced the number of plants earning this award and as a result the award should be more coveted in the future. Plants earning this award are: 196? PPG Industries Corpus Christ! Works #7 Works #10 Works #11 works #12 Works #21 Works #26 Works #53 Bloomfield Pittsburgh Corning Corporation Port Allegany ANALYSIS The first five injury classifications as shown on the "Cause and Classi fications" chart (page 18) of this report continue to account for 85^ of the disabling injuries. The positioning of these injury causes changes from year to year with respect to the leading cause, second leading cause, etc. The only really significant change this year was the increase in the number of disabling injuries caused by "Objects" and "Burns" and the decrease in disabling injuries caused by "Caught Between" and "Glass." This analysis of injuries continues to show that efforts must be inten sified in the areas of job safety instruction and training, better safety orientation of new and transferred employees and improved guarding if we are to be successful in reducing injuries in these classifications. The summary charts shown on page 19 of this report prove once again that neither age nor experience is a deterrent to getting injured. The number of disabling injuries in the group of employees with 2 or less years of service continues to increase--from 26^ in 1965 to 31% in 1966 and to b.0% in 1967. Very clearly this indicates that we are failing in the areas of new employee safety orientation and safety job training, and job instruction for both new and transferred employees. AUDITS Audits of Safety, Fire Protection, Plant Protection and Disaster Control Programs were conducted at the following locations: 1967 Works #7 Works #9 Works #25 Barberton Natrium Newark Cleveland SL 103776 Follow-up audits, for audits completed in prior years, were conducted at the following locations: Works #10 Works #11 Works #12 Works #lii Works #26 Works #50 Works #62 Corpus Christi DIVISIONAL SAFETY CONFERENCES 1967 A Glass Division Safety Conference was held at Cumberland, Maryland.
