LOUISIANA DIVISION INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE REPORT AN OPERATING UNIT OF THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY DEPARTMENT POWER I/UTILITIES FILE NUMBER LAD-PWRI/U-87.1 DATE 04-El-88 TITLE POWER I/UTILITIES INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE ACTIVITY REPORT FOR 1387 AUTHOR SIGNATURE GERVEY SMITH REVIEWER'S SIGNATURE ^, t. tLMtJ Wer BILL LEDFORIK SUMMARY THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE ACTIVITIES WENT ON AT POWER I/UTILITIES DURING 1987. TRAINING ON HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD NOISE AND NOISE PROTECTION AND REACTIVE CHEMICALS WAS DONE. AUDIO EXAMINATIONS WERE PERFORMED ON ALL PERSONNEL. THE 1387 NOISE SURVEY WAS PERFORMED USING A BRUEL AND KJAER MODEL 205 SOUND LEVEL METER. MOST OF THE POWER PLANT IS A HIGH NOISE AREA AND HEARING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED IN ALL OPERATING AREAS. IN 1988, NOISE SURVEY WILL BE CONDUCTED AND PRESENTED TO THE PLANT PERSONNEL WITH INFORMATION ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEARING PROJECTION AVAILABLE. TRAINING ON REACTIVE CHEMICALS, RESPIRATOR RETRAINING, HEARING CONSERVATION, AND TOXIC CHEMICALS TALK WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED. DISTRIBUTION LOUISIANA MIDLAND * CARROLL CARPENTER * W. T. SHARKEY * R.
