Comments on Statistics--R. T. Hammann There were no Recordable Injuries in May and none so far month-to-date in June. The plant has set a new record for the number of days worked without a Lost Workday injury since changing to the OSHA reporting system in 1977. We have gone 272 days without a Lost Workday injury. SC 002448 LAM0036 PMSB Meeting Minutes--June 15, 1983 Page 2 Areas having a high cumulative monthly injury rate are: Pumper Gaugers Truckers/Laborers Insulators Electricians Dept. 53 Analysts Areas having a high cumulative monthly injury rate, but showing significant improvement in recent months are: Painters Dept. 50 Areas having excellent safety records are: Dept. 513 Stores Dept. 33 - 9 months without an injury - 16 months without an injury - 17 months without an injury C. Contractor Safety--R. L. Hammond We only had one Recordable Injury so far this year; although, the number of hours worked is small. There will be a significant increase in the number of contractors working in the plant due to the Styrene shutdown. Statistics for April and May are attached. II. REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC)--G. A. Danner A. Locks--Security We are presently evaluating our locks and security system to determine the best cost effective system for this plant. Fred Herzog has made a survey of other plants, both Monsanto and non-Monsanto, and has assembled data on the systems they employ. As can be expected, there is quite a variety of systems with no one having what would be con sidered the ultimate system. We plan to analyze the data, and make a proposal as to the changes required to establish the most cost effec tive security system for the plant. III. REPORT OF THE PLANT SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING ACTION COMMITTEE (SHAC)-- A. H. Conrad A. Hourly Safety Committee One member was absent at the May meeting at which George Danner discussed the SAC organization and its job. A status report was given on the following items: 1. Cooling tower fan brakes - A design was completed and recommen dation given to R.L. Hammond. Note: Gene requested that a SC 002449 LAM003656 PMSB Meeting Minutes--June 15, 1983 Page 3 capitol AR be prepared for installation of these fan brakes in all cooling towers expected to remain in service in the plant. 2. Vessel opening without blinding - Reviewed the approved plant policy. 3. Holeman responsibilities - Developed for review by PMSB. The following new concerns were discussed and will be answered: 1. Are manlifts periodically inspected? 2. What protective clothing is required when working around NSI? 3. New permit procedure--why does craft leadman sign? B. Quarterly Safety & Housekeeping Inspection The second quarterly inspection has been scheduled for the last two weeks in June. Service areas and laboratories will be eligible for awards for the first time. New safety inspection check lists have been developed for the laboratories (Tech Center Safety Committee) and service and office areas (Office Safety Committee). C. Sample Bottle Disposal A survey is being made of all units to determine what the present methods are for disposing of laboratory sample bottles. A report and recommendation will follow. D. Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program Bill Latimer and Gene Wofford met with Shell personnel to discuss their education program. Plans are to utilize a similar program for educating personnel at our plant. This can be developed with outside help; however, we need a means to assist those personnel in need after the education program is implemented. Will work with Don Raldenberg to see what resources are available for handling this need. E. Bose Tape New tape has been received in the plant to replace the old tape with which we had a bad fading problem. Hopefully, when the new tape is installed during the July inspection of utility hoses this problem will be resolved. F. Holeman Duties A draft outlining the responsibilities of the holeman has been completed. This draft will be reviewed by PMSB members and comments will be given to Harry Conrad. Expect to add the approved policy as an addendum to P-0117. SC 002450 LAM003657 PMSB Meeting Minutes--June 15, 1983 Page 4 G. Nitrogen Backflow Prevention LP&S (Bob Hammann) reported that inspections are not being conducted according to Procedure Bulletin P-0126. This requires a weekly visual check of the backflow prevention station by unit personnel and a quarterly inspection and operational test of the backflow preventer by the Instrument Department. A SHAC Bulletin will be issued. A check will be made during the Quarterly Safety and Housekeeping Inspection as to whether units are maintaining the required records. H. Unit Laboratory Inspections The Tech Center Safety Committee will inspect any laboratory on request to ensure compliance with lab standards. They have already completed an inspection of the laboratory in Depts. 48/56 and have been requested to do one for Power 2. IV. REVIEW OF INCIDENTS There were no incidents. V. STATUS OF S-T-O-P PROGRAM--G. W. Daues The chief/leadman training is almost completed for the fourth unit. Training on the fifth and final unit will commence in two weeks. Three units have been developed for non-exempt personnel and are currently being proofed. Observation cards continue to come in at a good clip with an average of 1.3 per salaried person in May vs. 1.07 in April. However, very few cards are coming in from the chiefs/leadmen. Harry Conrad will work with the Hourly Safety Committee to explore means for motivating hourly personnel to ensure active participation in the program. VI. MISCELLANEOUS A. Emergency Procedure Manual Goal for completion of manual revisions is still September 1. Each person responsible for a section is requested to review the material and make plans for completing the required revisions. Bob Hammann will contact each superintendent involved to resolve any conflicts and answer questions concerning these revisions. Revision of the Communications Section has been completed by Doug Metten's group. B. Required Safety Equipment for Contractor Personnel The question was brought up about contractors operating in the plant without hard hats or safety glasses. The specific case referred to was the driver of the Coca Cola truck. When he is making his rounds in the plant he should wear a hard hat and safety glasses to comply with plant safety rules. This information will be conveyed to them. Sc 002451 LAM003658 PMSB Meeting Minutea--June 15, 1983 Page 5 C. Emergency Food and Water Rations Since we are now in the hurricane season, there was a question con cerning the condition and location of our emergency food and water rations. This will be checked out by LP&S and reported at the next PMSB. D. HCN Safety Seminar DuPont is hosting an HCN safety seminar to be held at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This seminar will revolve around the shipment of HCN. The question arose as to whether or not there needs to be a represen tative from Chocolate Bayou/Texas City. Since transportation is the main topic of conversation, someone from St. Louis should probably be present at this seminar. Tom Ryan will check to determine what Monsanto's representation will be. VII. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS Due to problems with the south reactor, the EB/Styrene shutdown will be starting earlier than expected. There will be many Monsanto and contract personnel in the area, and a lot of activity due to the amount of work to be done. Need to re--emphasize safe work practices and assure that all personnel are committed to doing their jobs safely. Attachments RTH/es R. T.
