Plans for Annual Safety & Housekeeping Inspection 1. Theme - SAFETY AWARENESS PREVENTS ACCIDENTS This theme was selected as the majority of our accidents this year have occurred due to inattention and poor awareness on the individual's part. Inspection will be competitive with awards given to the best Unit, Craft, Laboratory and Service Area. B. Contractor Safety Information developed by Rufus Baca has been reviewed by SHAC. There is a need to form a subcommittee to develop a proposed program. C. Recordable Injury Bulletin Issued a bulletin concerning the nineth recordable injury. This occurred to a Laboratory Analyst who cut his thumb on a broken flask. IV.

Hourly Program This program will start the week of 11/7 with Mark Riddle as the principal instructor. In addition, there will be hourly participation in the presentation of the material. This will be a 3-unit course with each unit lasting approximately 1-2 hours. Plans are to hold ten sessions per unit to train 700 people. Training on Unit II will begin in December unless 16D1 is shut down. In that case. Unit II will be deferred to January. B. Administrative Support The course for non-exempt personnel will also consist of three units. Training for approximately 150 people will start in November with instructors from the Tech Center Safety Committee and Office Safety Committee. Training for this group will be conducted in the ARMS Conference Room. VI. MISCELLANEOUS--R.T. Hammann A. Emergency Procedure Plan A recent S&PP survey emphasized that we need to proceed with our plans to update this manual. Assignments for reviewing and rewriting the manual were made in the May PMSB meeting. Target date for completion of this work is December 31. B. By-Pass of Critical Alarms During the recent S&PP survey it was pointed out that many alarms had been by-passed (i.e., cards pulled, alarms deactivated, etc.). This was addressed during the rewriting of Procedure Bulletin P-0123, but apparently has not received enough emphasis in the plant. A task force will be set up by Tom Ryan, Jack Trafton, Greg Daues and Bob Hammann to review and make recommendations concerning this problem. In addition, a SHAC Alert will be issued using the recent incident of alkylator pluggage as an example. SC 13884 STG 2430690 LAM015673 PMSB Synopsis--October 19, 1983 Page 5 C. Emergency Call-Out List - Procedure Bulletin P-0105 A reminder was given to all superintendents to update this call-out list as needed. VII. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS The Japanese will arrive today with E.N. Brasfield for a visit to AN-5. Gene is anxious to see how the plant looks during the Annual Safety & Housekeeping Inspection next week and will be talking to as many people as possible. Guides should be aggressive and make sure that the inspec tion is snappy and that we keep on schedule. Special emphasis will be given to the S-T-O-P Program to determine the level of awareness and see how people feel about the program. RTH:js Attachments R. T. Hammann SC 13885 STG 2430691 LAM015674
