Reports The Monthly Safety and Housekeeping Audits and Injury Summary for December were reviewed: Several items concerning vibrating lines were noted. Some of these were at lower than normal production rates and corrective work is underway. It was felt that the unlabeled switch gear in the DDDA ECR, though not turned over by construction, should have been locked out by operations as it was located in an active bank. DDDA was complimented on a very good job of danger tagging. Improvement could be made with better coordination between production and mechanical as to the "reason" for tagging. The outlying area received good comments for the overall good appearance and the posting of procedures at the Acrolein stations. Several minor type items were noted which indicates we need to stay on our toes to maintain our standards. S F was charged with developing a standard for the upkeep of plant-owned breathing air cylinders -and the periodic change out of air._ ; Congratulations to. 570 Lab, Machine Shop, "J" Unit Reaction, Op. 1 and 518, 519 8 509 T/F as Good Housekeeping Award winners.
