REPORT OF THE SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAC) - G.A. Danner A. N? Hose Stations: During the Annual Inspection it was noted that there \/Ss quite a variety of N2 hose station configurations throughout the plant. The standard in the Procedure Bulletin P0126 was reviewed by Engineering. It was felt that this was a good design to prevent inside battery limits contamination. SHAC is at present surveying the plant to determine the extent of the problem of non-conformance with the plant standard. A program will be developed for improving all nitrogen stations to conform to plant standard. III. REPORT OF THE PLANT SAFETY AND HOUSEKEEPING ACTION COMMITTEE (SHAC)-- A. H. Gonrad A. Hourly Safety Committee 1. Unit/Craft Safety Representatives Training Expressed opinion that we should stay with 6-month term of office.

Each General Superintendent will receive the entire report. Super intendents will receive only the report for their areas with the request to send.the action plan for correction of deficiencies to the General Superintendent and SHAC by 12/15. C. Locks More work is needed on developing and implementing a procedure for plant locks. George Danner and Harry Conrad will work on the procedure, which will be brought to the Plant Manager's staff for review prior to implementation. IV. STATUS OF S-T-O-P PROGRAM--G.W. Daues 1. The program for hourly and administrative support personnel will be delayed until January. 2. Neither the Technical Center nor Personnel have issued any cards the last two months.

Hearing Conservation Program The new signs denoting that hearing protection is required are now in the plant. A memo will be issued to responsible personnel requesting implementation as approved by PMSB. B. Emergency Procedure Manual Our goal is still to rewrite this manual by the end of the year.

Critical Alarms A Task Force consisting of Tom Ryan, Jack Trafton, Greg Daues and Bob Hammann made the following report: 1. The current Procedure Bulletin P0123 is good. 2. Jack and Tom are in the process of checking their units to assure that written procedures are in effect and available to chief operators/operators. This is not presently the case in all units. 3. There is a need for units to review their alarms to determine which alarms are critical and which ones are not, and develop a heirarchy scheme. Some alarms may be eliminated. 4. This procedure bulletin should be reviewed at the next unit safety meeting. 3. SHAC should check on adherence to this procedure during the next quarterly inspection. The preceding recommendations were approved by PMSB. This subject will be brought again up in the January PMSB to determine the effectiveness of these recommendations. VI. PLANT MANAGER'S COMMENTS--G. L. Tromblee A. Valve Stem Protectors A minor injury occurred recently when an operator bumped his elbow on the end of a valve stem. It was also noted in the Annual Inspection that many valves had the protectors missing. Emphasis should be on installing the protectors in December. B. Scaffolds There are many instances in the plant where standards are not being met. We need to highlight this in safety meetings. C. Hose Inspection Procedure Emphasize on the next Quarterly Inspection. being conducted? Is a proper inspection sc ^3868 RTHrdgb R. T. Hammann STG 2430674 LAM015657
