Emergency Calls to the Guards

Asbestos Pickup
It was reported that plastic bags containing asbestos do not appear to be picked up on a very frequent schedule.
e The procedure now used by the Truck Department for asbestos pickup is:
The insulators are to call the Truck Department when they have asbestos to be picked up. The amount and location will be logged by the Truck Department. If the amount is large, the pickup will be made that day. If it is small it will be picked up on a once-per-week basis. The Truck Department reports that occasionally they find bags of asbestos that have not been called in. They also stated that if anyone sees bags of asbestos that have been left in an area for over a week, they should call the Truck Department.
The Hourly Safety Committee discussed the safety problem caused by pedestrian traffic around the trucks that are in line for the plant scales. The suggestions made :
1. Direct pedestrian traffic away from the trucks.
2. Reroute the trucks such that they line up on the east side of the scales.
3. Increase the staffing of the scales to move the trucks through faster.
The June Hourly Safety Committee meeting will be June 30, 1981, in the Personnel Building Conference Room 2.
