OFFSITE PIPELINE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND ORGANIZATION--G.W. Bostick Procedures were reviewed. Distribution will handle with Glenn Vogtman as pipeline supervisor. Procedure Bulletin P-0129 will be updated by 6/28. Cost center is still up in the air with numerous items to be resolved. This could be a real monster. Plans are to keep it as simple as possible. Emergency action plan has been developed. The vehicle to use for these emergencies is the 4x4 Superintendent's van. This vehicle will not be able to be used for routine purposes by Superintendents. Keys will be issued as necessary. A SHAC Alert will be issued to summarize these procedures and organization. II. REVIEW OF STATISTICS--R.T. Hammann A.

Comments on Statistics The Recordable Injury occurred to a machinist when -a metal part he was fabricating on a lathe caught one of the fingers of his right . hand as he was polishing internal threads with a piece of emery cloth and pulled his finger into the threaded hole. A look at the Recordable Injury Rate shows that through May we are below basic for the year. These Recordable Injuries carry the common thread of inappropriate acts on the part of the individual--carelessness, inattention, failure to follow procedures, etc. On a brighter side, we have gone thirtysix days since the last Recordable Injury. Good safety performance has been demonstrated by Dept. 48/56, Dept. 53, Dept. 513, Dept. 33, and Instrument Dept. Groups with poor safety performance are Dept. 13/14/15/16, Boilermakers, and Carpenters. C. Contractor Safety--C.M. McCullough There were eight total injuries in May, three of which were Recordable. All Recordable cases were cuts requiring sutures. This is about the same as last year, although Recordable Injuries have increased. Increased emphasis is being given to improve personal awareness. Contractor statistics are attached. D. CEP Project Safety--B.C. Lancaster The CED Construction group experienced two Recordable Injuries in May. One was a cut to the right hand, and the other was a broken toe sustained while loading scaffold on a truck. Additional CED construction accident statistics are attached. III. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--C.F. Navarrete A. Cover Goggle Signs LP&S will develop a plant standard for cover goggle areas iden tification defining appropriate signs and highlighting color. The requirements for the standard are: 1. Uniformity throughout the plant 2. Recognizable 3. Cost effective This needs to be developed by the July PMSB. B. Welding Tarps & Platforms on Pipe Racks The number of scaffold platforms on pipe racks throughout the plant, and the prevention of fires are items of concern. SC 003241 LAM004255 PMSB Meeting Minutes - June 16, 1982 Page 3 Use of a flame retardant treatment was discussed with Mike McCullough. A. Glass will follow up on reports of allergies related to this material. Maintenance will continue to emphasize following procedures on the use of tarps and fire watches. C. HCN Emergency Training SAC supports recommendations 1, 2, 3 in T. L. Nelson's memo to PMSB on "Follow-up on Communications of HCN Alarm Problem", May 18, 1982. Specific recoimnendations under 4 & 5 on communication of information may not be the best solution. Arnold Glass will work with Nelson to develop a procedure for com munication of information concerning all HCN alarms to people in the field. D. Hourly Safety Committee SAC reviewed function and alternatives to help improve the effec tiveness of the HSC. Our recommendation is to continue support of the HSC in its present form, and to use existing resources to help. Specifically: 1. Line management support and interest in U/CSPT--This reflects attitude of unit personnel toward safety. Need to work to get qualified people interested and on team. 2. Development and training of HSC members--Looking toward problem solving and leadership training. 3. Full support through SHAC Chairman. IV.

The task force has significantly simplified and reduced size. Other improvements include: 1. utility, marine, and chemical groups instead of I through IV, 2. breathing air hoses added, 3. colored tape to also show date, and 4. revised appendix. F. Portable Building Survey In the May PMSB meeting a request was made of PMSB members to summarize action plans in memo form to G. L. Tromblee (cc to D. D. Kos) by June 9. Two action plans have been received to date. SHAC will issue a summary for the July PMSB meeting (need action plans by July 14). V. LOSS REPORTING--R.T. Hammann There were no delinquent loss reports at this time. VI. STATUS OF BREATHING AIR SYSTEM PROJECT--G.T. Ryan Modifications are being made to the system. These repairs will be completed and the system will be back in service by 6/21. VII.

STATUS OF STOP PROGRAM--M.A. Riddle for G.W. Daues A meeting was held with the Contact Supervisors and was very well received. They did express the concern with Chief and Leaderman involvement. It was felt that this involvement should occur as soon as possible. In the meeting conducted with the Hourly Safety Committee the writing of names on the cards was a concern--even though it was mentioned numerous times that this would not be done. They felt this would be used for disciplinary action against individuals. Additional meetings will be held with other first and second line super visors. Coordinators will be trained on Monday, June 22, and information on the STOP Program will be published in the Plant News on Friday, June 18. Training for the STOP Program will begin June 28. Each training session will last up to two hours. IX. MISCELLANEOUS A. Smoke Shack for IDA The need for a new smoke shack for IDA II (Dept. 77) has raised the question again--should we spend extra money for separate buildings for smoke shacks? SAC will review and make a recommendation to G. L. Trooblee. B. OSHA Inspection at Chocolate Bayou Word was just received that Chocolate Bayou was undergoing an OSHA inspection. No further details were known. X. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS Gene mentioned that he was pleased that we have gone over a month now without a Recordable Injury. We need to keep our people aware and be especially mindful of individual work practices. We are in the midst of heavy vacation months when people have their mind on things other than their work. Increased effort is needed to assure awareness of work surroundings. The Annual Housekeeping and Safety Inspection will be changed this year. There will be no personnel from other Monsanto plants visiting our location for this inspection. We may exchange personnel with Chocolate Bayou to conduct the inspection. An alternate is to use our own people and formalize the inspection the same as if outside personnel were conducting it. This is still up in the air. We need to think of ways to conduct this inspection if we were to use our own people. RTH/es Attachments R. T.
