Sumner Kabler Joins Lago
As Assistant Controller
Lago's Assistant Controller as of
July 24, is Sumner "Sonny" Kabler,
until recently Head of the Cost and
Commercial Analysis Section of La-
goven's Controller's Department. Son-
ny had been assigned to Lagoven by
Exxon Services Venezuela, Inc. in Ca-
racas since 1976.

He began his Exxon career in Tex-
as fifteen years ago, after graduating
with a B.A. degree in Economics from
Dartmouth College, and after obtain-
ing his M.B.A. in Finance from the
Amos Tuck School of Business in
1963. At Exxon U.S.A., Texas, he be-
gan as an Accountant. He later
transferred to Exxon Corporation in
New York where he became an Ac-
counting and Investment Practices
Analyst in 1966.

In 1969 he moved to Venezuela
with Creole Petroleum Corporation
as a Sr. Data Processing Analyst, and
subsequently he held a variety of po-
sitions in the Controller's and Trea-
surer's Departments.

Joining Sonny in his new assign-
ment are his Venezuelan wife Car-
men and daughters Julie (10), Adria-
na (5) and Lisa (2). Sonny, who
speaks Spanish fluently, knows a
little German, Russian and French,
and plans to learn Papiamento. He
is also looking forward to a lot of
sailing and snorkeling, and a variety
of outdoor activities with his family.
The Kablers live in Seroe Colorado.

has a summer job with Exxon Chemi-

1980, is attending summer school. The
family will be together for the Christ-
mas holidays.


July 12, 1978 marked one year that
Lago employees worked without an
"on-the-job" disabling injury. This
period represents close to 2,500,000
manhours.
Thanks to the high level of safety
awareness and the concerted efforts
of all Lago employees, this is the se-
cond important achievement in safe-
ty accomplished during the past year.
The first milestone this year was
on May 5, 1978 when we completed
2,000,000 manhours of work without
a disabling injury, or a total of 297
consecutive days without an on-the-
job injury. The previous milestone of
2,000,000 manhours was achieved on
July 26, 1976.
With the cooperation of all emplo-
yees, other significant records can be
achieved this year to make 1978 a
"Year of Safety". Our safety goals
are :
1. To break Lago's "all-time" re-
cord of 428 calendar days
without a disabling Injury ON
THE JOB the second week


of September.
2. To obtain 3,000,000 manhours
without a disabling "on-the-
job" injury the first week of
October.
3. To work one full calendar
year January 1 thru De-
cember 31 without a dis-
abling "on-the-job" injury -
a record still to be achieved
in Lago's history.
Employees' safety goals should not
be limited to their jobs. Let us all
take "job" safety awareness to our
homes and make our off-the-job sa-
fety performance as good as our sa-
fety performance at Lago.

MCS projects using principles that
are applicable to projects of any size.
Under project management principles,
all project work is carried out in a
structure which requires:

* A cooperative effort with an active
client and an MCS staff.
* A clear definition and assignment
of responsibilities.
* Objectives by which to judge pro-
ject success or failure.
* Project monitoring through ap-
propriate phasing with financial
control decisions made at each
phase.
* A well defined work product at

Lago MechanicallContractor Employees Trained

On the Use of ScottAir-Pak Breathing Equipment


On June 28, Mechanical Depart-
ment employees began attending
one-hour training sessions on the
use of the Scott Air-Pak breathing ap-
paratus with pressure-demand hose-
line unit. The first training ses-
sions, which were attended by 239
employees including supervisors -
were conducted by Safety Inspec-
tor Bill Geerman of Employee Rela-
tions Safety Section, in the Lunch
Room of the Mechanical Shops.
For most of these employees, the
training session was a refresher,
since they had previously seen a
demonstration of the equipment in
the field when Lago acquired the
units two years ago. For new em-
ployees, it was an opportunity to
learn to use the breathing apparatus
in areas where toxic gases or vapors
might be present.
Attending the sessions in groups
of 15 men each time, the men were
given a brief introduction on the sa-
fety features of the pressure demand
hoseline unit, and a leaflet containing
instructions on its use. While volun-
teers demonstrated how the breath-
ing apparatus should be assembled,
donned and operated, the Safety In-
spector gave a running account of
each step. Five similar sessions
were also held for contractor emplo-
yees, safety inspectors and supervi-
sors.
Used only in planned jobs, the
Scott Air-Pak Hoseline unit provides
employee with up to eight hours sup-
ply of fresh air. It is more often used
when removing and installing blinds
from H2S carrying lines, during exca-
vation work and in other locations


with possible contaminated atmos-
phere. Fresh air is supplied from a
cylinder containing 2000 p.s.i. of com-
pressed air connected to a pressure-
demand hose line unit linked to a har-
ness and face mask worn by the user.
The unit can be worn with or without
an egress or reserve cylinder at-
tached to the harness. The cylinder
is to be used in emergency situations
should the supply hose become da-
maged or defective. The egress cy-
linder contains a 3-minute supply of
fresh air, giving the employee enough
time to escape from a hazardous en-
vironment.
The training sessions are part of
Lago's continuous program to assure
that employees and contractor super-
