-SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUAL MONSANTO COMPANY PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT SP- 002 CHOCOLATE BAYOU PLANT FIRE AND SPILL ALARM SCOPE This attachment defines the responsibilities of personnel when a fire or spill occurs and the procedure to be followed in case of an alarm. POLICY The decision to turn in a fire or spill alarm rests with the individual observing the emergency. A hard and fast rule as to when the alarm should be activiated cannot be written. If, in the judgement of the individual involved, the situation cannot be handled with the facilities and manpower present (or if there is any question whatsoever that the emergency cannot be handled), the alarm should be sounded. RESPONSIBILITIES & PROCEDURE 1. To Sound a Fire and Spill Alarm To sound a fire and spill alarm the individual should use the nearest telephone, dial "77" and the proper area code. The last number of the code will activate the code horns. The proper code for a particular area can be found on: a. The front of each telephone within its area. b. The fire and spill alarm code card. c. The map in the front of the plant telephone book. A copy of the map showing the fire and spill alarm codes is shown on page 4 of this attachment. Example: To sound the alarm for the #1 Barge Dock, dial "77-111." 2 Failure of the Automatic System LAM021355 In the event an alarm is turned in and the code horns do not sound within 30 seconds, a failure of the automatic system has occurred. The individual who turns in the alarm should then dial the emergency phone number "222", explain to the guard that the automatic alarm system has failed and ask the guard to sound the alarm. The guard will manually sound the code of the affected area on the auxiliary code horn, located in the Utilities area. 3 When the Fire and Spill Alarm Sounds When the fire and spill alarm sounds, all motor-operated mobile /^nirui a / | REVISED / / Bv 6113 16887 SAFETY PROCEDURE MANUALSP-oo2 MONSANTO COMPANY CHOCOLATE BAYOU PLANT FIRE AND SPILL ALARM (Cont'd) equipment must be moved to the side of the street and stopped with the motor turned off. The only exception to this rule is the emergency equipment and cars that must operate during these emergencies. All welding, cutting torches, chipping hammers forges, gasoline-driven pumps, or any other work creating a spark or flame must be stopped. ALL SMOKING MUST BE STOPPED WITHIN THE PLANT except in the Administration Building and the Gate Houses. With respect to process fires (cracking furnaces, etc.), the man in charge of the area in which the emergency exists will have to decide immediately whether to turn off the process fires. The men in charge of the other areas should determine as quickly as possible the location of the danger, the direction of the wind and the effect on their department's operation, and then take steps to protect personnel and equipment. This will call for a quick decision and may mean a complete plant shutdown. Extreme urgency should be used to get personnel out of any area where toxic gas or flammable vapors are released. Immediate notification to exposed personnel in nearby Operating Areas or shops should be made either by telephone or radio. This information should then be telephoned to the Guard Hcuse using the emergency telephone number 222. Upon receiving information concerning the release of flammable or toxic vapors, all personnel who may be exposed must decide what emergency action is required for their safety. Their actions should be quickly communicated to the Safety Director/ Night Supervisor by telephone (222). If for some reason (immediate evacuation) the exposed personnel are unable to communicate their status, the Safety Director/ Night Supervisor will then make a decison to either activate the information alert or by telephone or radio determine the status of the exposed personnel relating to evacuation, headcount and conditions. If the diesel switch engine is in the plant during a fire or spill, it should be shut down and await orders from tthe Distribution Department. The possible need to have the Switch Engine available to move cars from dangerous areas makes this procedure advisable. Non-emergency mobile equipment should not resume motion until the "ALL CLEAR" has sounded so the streets can be kept clear for emergency equipment. All personnel who are not members of the fire crews or operating LAM021356 ,C0li5 ORIGINAL ISSUE REVISED / / By y 2/6 2By R.G.McNeely REVIEWED 4/1/77 Bv R.G.McNppIv PAGE 2 OF 3 ATTACHMENT #1 6113 16888 SAFJETY PROCEDURE MANUAL MONSANTO COMPANY SP- 002 CHOCOLATE BAYOU PLANT FIRE AND SPILL ALARM (Cont'd) personnel of the areas involved MUST stay away from fires or spills and if in the area, must get out, stay off roadways, and remain at a safe distance from the affected area. Work in an area may be resumed as soon as the operating foreman has determined that his area is safe for the function of work and any pertinent fire permits have been reissued. In certain cases, when a fire or spill is in a given area, there may be little or no need for work to be held up in other areas until the "All Clear" is sounded. However, a general rule such as this cannot be made, so the operating foreman must determine his area's status. In a similar way at the supervisor's discretion, smoking may be resued in areas not affected by the fire or spill. 4. Back-up Fire Crew Alert Should the services of the back-up fire crew be required during normal working hours, a second alarm for the affected areas will be sounded on the fire alarm system. A representative of the Safety Department is responsible for initiating the request for the back-up fire crew. See Attachment #2 for alerting of the back-up fire crew during off hours and for a list of the members of the back-up fire crew. 5. End of Emergency When the emergency is over, the member of the Safety Department coordinating the emergency in the field will check with operating supervision for the affected area. If agreed that all is safe, the Safety Department representative will radio the guards and request that the "ALL CLEAR" be blown. The guard will then sound the "ALL CLEAR" signal which is ONE 15-SECOND BLAST on the code horns. This will indicate that all parties concerned should resume normal operations. 6. Testing the Fire and Spill Alarm System The fire and spill alarm system will be tested every Monday at 1:00 p.m. The test code is 5-5-5. The Safety Department is responsible for the maintenance of the fire and spill alarm system.
