Benzene levels have been detected in the unit. Can these operators be added to the surveillance program? Action: W. M. Wendes, Manager Hydroprocessing, W. B. Austin, Dr. E. Shepper Response: Based on monitoring data, the off-site operators do not meet the criteria to be added to the Benzene surveillance program. W. B. Austin will discuss with the committee at the next meeting. [2/1/91] Wayne gave an update on the Benzene medical surveillance requirements. The off-site operator job may have an increased exposure due to process changes. WBA to review this job and report back to the committee. [3/1/91] WBA showed a chart on cummulative frequency samples for off-site operators. IH will be collecting additional samples this month and WBA will report results to the committee at the next meeting. PENDING COMPLETION 2- 3/91: The Electrical Lockout Tag and the Operational General Lockout Tag look similar. Are these tags going to stay same or are they going to change? Action: H. E. Craddock, H&S LAM 003962 DPMC-10051 Response: Under Review 3- 3/91: Are the grinders in the Field Zone Shops on an Audit Program? If so, who does this audit? Action: M. W. Smith/Darren Martin, H&S Response: Currently, the BA's have responsibility to maintain the grinders. PENDING COMPLETION. 4- 3/91: At the OP2 truck loading rack has a vent line which is used when loading DCP to vent the vapors. This vent line runs from the loading rack to a tank located south of the truck rack and up the side of the tank. At the end of this vent line, a bucket is used to catch the liquid that is vented. Is there going to be any change to this current practice? Has IH monitored this area for any problems downwind or to personnel in the area? Action: Wayne Austin, Industrial Hygiene Response: The vent line with the bucket @ the end has been replaced with an inline-drips drum. The drum is inplace to collect any liquid before it goes to vent. This drum is checked for liquid contents when truck loading is in process and also has a level indicator which is checked by Operations. Committee investigation team was comprised of C. E. Ebanks and G. L. Buchanan. I. H. was not aware of the concern but will evaluate the process. COMPLETE. NEW BUSINESS: 1- 4/91: At OPII, the outside operators have been experiencing sore throats when working around the boilers (pitch?). Action: Wayne Austin, Industrial Hygiene Response: 2- 4/91: Tank J348 (CCU) has a split around the roof. There is a concern about condensation getting into the insulation and creating a fire hazard. Also, what is the vapor emission from this tank? Action: Paul Hamilton, CCU Response: 3- 4/91: At the EOM Building outside the main door, there is a relief valve located about head level. There is a concern on the hazards associated should the valve open.

Austin/Axel Muzerie Response: 5-4/91: There is a concern about disconnect procedures during an emergency when wearing fresh air or supplied air with HiGlo suits. Currently there is not a quick disconnect available on the suits. Perhaps there should be training sessions for familiarizing employees who will be wearing HiGlo suits with the proper procedures. Action: W. B. Austin Response: AGENDA ITEMS: 1. Don Smith, Manager Docks, made a presentation to the committee on the department's operations, PPE policy, and related efforts on marine oil spill response and vapor recovery. 2.
