To: Joe Ware 4 Interoffice Communication From: Date: W Hollis March 1,1985 Subject: VINYL 1985 SAFETY PROGRAM VKIA A safety dinner meeting was held February 15 to review Vinyl's 1984 Safety/VCM exposure performance and to develop a program for 1985. The attendees were: Chris Turner, Ray McGhee, Bobby Hawkins, Rodger Collins, Alton Reeves, Dean Honeycutt and David Hollis. The topics discussed were: 1) 1984 Review a. Injuries b. VCM Exposure 2) 1985 Department Goals 3) New Procedure for Yard Operator Assistance 4) 1985 Safety Program A lot of discussion was centered around causes of VCM overexposure and methods to reduce exposure without respirators. This Included both Vinyl and Maintenance employees. The 1985 Safety Program as outlined in the following pages shows a commitment to make everyone aware that safety is a full time job. D. W. Hollis rah attachment am mmmm* VAB.0001215668 VINYL 1985 SAFETY PROGRAM * I. Monthly Safety Meetings A. Have two meetings dedicated to writing and discussing Job Safety Analysis. B. Have one meeting discussing home safety and home emergency preparedness. C. Have the Safety Department give the required annual respirator p training to provide shift-to-shift consistency. D. Prepare the monthly meetings so that there is more operator participation. E. Have a meeting to review the recently revised power failure procedure. II. On-Shift Meetings A. Develop the use of short on-shift meetings to discuss recent safety problems, operational problems and review new or existing procedures. B. These meetings would also be used to get operator feedback on developing operational problems. III. Training Heeded A. Train the "A" operators to assist in permit procedures by learning to clear equipment and prepare for maintenance. B. Have a training session for the Shift Supervisors and Chief Operators on the VCM tank farm. This would cover the railcar unloading operation and environmental/safety systems at the tank farm.
