At the beginning ol this year a 20.6 million dollar HDS
Purge Gas Rcco\cerl Project was approved by Exxon.
This project w ill enable Lago to be self-sufficient in
Hydrogen Plant feed. Purge gas that noxw is burned as
fuel \\ill be recovered, treated and fed to the hydrogen
plants, replacing butane presently imported from
Venezuela.
The new facilities required are i\ o new Hydrogen Plant
front ends, newx reactors and allo\ piping, In addition,
two new compressors will be installed for the low
pressure gas collection s\ stemn.
Construction of the list Hydrogen Plant front end is

New OMSC Department formed


John R. Every
Manager
OMSC Department


Recently, the Supply Commercial Division and the Oil
Movements and Shipping Division within the Process
Department merged into a new department called "Oil
Movements, Shipping and Coordination Department."



Departamento nobo a

ser formed: OMSC


Recientemente, e Supply Commercial Division y e Oil
Movements and Shipping Division di Process
Department a forma un departamento nobo cu yama
"Oil Movements, Shipping and Coordination
Department." Sr. John R. Every cu tabata Assistant
Technical Manager, a asumi e position di Manager di e
departamento nobo.

E funcionnan di Supply Commercial ta inclui e
planeamento y coordinacion di e plannan mensual y
trimestral di e operation di refineria. Esaki ta cubri e
nivel di refinacion di crudo, e productonan cu mester
wordo traha, y e calidad cu mester aten&. En coneccion
cu CCA na Coral Gables, y Exxon International
Corporation na New York, Supply Commercial ta
coordina e programanan di production y shipping. Oil
Movements and Shipping (OM&S) e ora ta sigi cu su
responsabilidadnan.

E tareanan di OM&S, cu mas tanto ta limitA den e area
di tankfarm, terminal y e area maritime, ta manera e
number mes ta indicA. E personal di OM&S ta ricibi e
crudo, transport, ward, mezcl6 di acuerdo cu e
gravedad y despues ta pomp e pa e pipestill-nan. Ora cu
e componentenan (cual ta ser yama "rundown streams"
den refineria) ta ser ricibi, personal di OM&S ta warda
nan den e tankinan apropia, mezcla nan di acuerdo cu e
specificacionnan di client y pone nan ariba bapor.

Como e responsabilidadnan individual di e dos
divisionnan ta estrechamente lelacion,, e formacion aki
tabata manera un "arreglo natural." E OMSC
Department nobo tin mas o menos 230 empleado.


Mr. John R. Every, former Assistant Technical
Manager, assumed the position of Manager of the new
department.
The Supply Commercial functions include the planning
and coordination of the refinery's monthly and quarterly
operation plans. This covers the crude run level, the
products to be made, and the qualities to strive for. In
conjunction with CCA in Coral Gables, and Exxon
International Corporation in New York, Supply
Commercial coordinates the production and shipping
schedules. Oil Movements and Shipping (OM&S) then
proceeds with its responsibilities.
OM&S's tasks, confined mostly within the tankfarm,
terminal and marine area, are exactly as the name
indicates. OM&S people receive the crude, move, store,
blend it according to gravity and then pump it to the
pipestills. When the components ("rundown streams" in
refinery terms) are received, OM&S personnel store
them in appropriate tanks, blend them according to
customers' specifications and load them on ships.
As the two divisions' individual responsibilities arc so
closely related, this merger was onl\ a 'natural
arrangement'.
The new OMSC Department has about 230 employ ces

4s safety in the refinery is of primary importance, Lago has a
number of committees dealing with all aspects of safety.
Above: The HDS Divisional Safety Committee headed by
Joaquin Croes meets to discuss the Division's safety projects.


A training in servicing the Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) was recently completed by seven
Mechanical Department employees. Bob Naugle, Mechani-
cal's Assistant Manager, presented the certificates. Lago has
now become a fully qualified training center for the SCBA.


Drivers' inattention hampers traffic safety


John tuIrni his head to the right. looks, reverses his car,
and ..... hirs a vehicle coming from the left side ....
Accident due to the driver's inattention.

"Dri ers' inattention," said Martinus Ras,
Aldministratic Lieutenant in the Industrial Security
)Dpartnmnt. "is the major cause of traffic accidents
Silthin the Lago concession. As a matter of fact in 1982,
80%o of tiafl ic accidents \were due to drivers' inattention
and 46% of those accidents happened while reversing."
Other causes of traffic accidents include failure to yield
,(io. unsafe equipment such as lack of brakes (6%) and
cxces ive speed (1%).

'Keep YVo Safet\ Mind on Driving' is certainly not an
empt slogan as all those accidents were obviously
'p1eventable accidents.' A preventable accident isonein
\\ ich the drive failed to do everything that could have
Ieasonabll been done to prevent it. Looking to the right,
left and right again, avoiding distraction by other
drivers, pedestrians or situations, and paying attention
rather than daydreaming, are a few easy ways to help
prevent accidents.

In Case of Accidents
In case a traffic accident does occur on Lago concession,
what should be done? "This information is very
important," Martinus emphasized. "First check if there
are any injured persons. If not, leave the car as it 'came to
rest' (in Security's jargon this is called the CTR
position), call Lago police on 3131 and await the arrival
of the Investigating Officer. The officer will then divert
traffic and investigate the case."

If there is an injured person involved, instruct someone
to notify Lago police and administer first aid
immediately if necessary. If the injured person is
bleeding heavily (arterial spurts), apply direct pressure
over the wound or on a major artery closest to the
wound. According to Martinus: "Unless trained to do so
and/or conditions demand actions on your part (vehicle
on fire, etc.), do not attempt to remove the victim
suspected of bone injuries from the vehicle. Permanent
damage may be the result if improperly handled."

If an accident occurs outside Lago concession while on
Company business with a Lago leased/owned vehicle,


the government police must be called immediately. Lago
Police should be advised of the incident as soon as
conditions permit. "Two important items drivers should
take note of are that a 'gentleman's agreement' between
drivers without police notification is not acceptable, and
that cars should be left in the accident position until the
arrival of a police officer", commented Martinus.

Safe Driving

As the total of 69 traffic incidents on Lago concession in
1982 is considered excessive (more than any other
affiliate in the Esso Inter America region), the Industrial
Security Department in cooperation with the Safety
Section is planning to organize a 'Defensive Driving'
course. In this improvement program drivers will be
instructed how to "prevent accidents in spite of the
incorrect actions of others and adverse conditions."
The Defensive Driving Manual of the National Safety
Council teaches students to recognize and constantly be
aware of the following six conditions that can affect safe
driving: light (e.g. sun glare), weather (rain, fog), road
(curbs, narrow roads, construction), traffic (other
drivers, speed of traffic), driver's vehicle (faulty tires,
brakes, windshield wipers), and the driver himself
(fatigue, alcohol, defective eye-sight or hearing,
emotional states such as anger, worry, fear).

In the effort to reduce the incidence of accidents, a
combined cooperation is essential. A basic but important
factor that contributes to traffic safety is every
individual's strict adherence to the existing traffic law.
"The traffic laws followed on the Lago concession are the
same as apply elsewhere on Aruba," commented
Martinus. Additionally the Industrial Security
Department is sharply increasing the enforcement of
traffic laws. Violators will be subject to
disciplinary/administrative actions. The results of these
efforts will be closely monitored to ensure that Lago is
becoming a safer refinery.

Remedying or avoiding hazards, or sometimes just
paying attention to existing traffic situations will result in
safer driving and fewer traffic incidents. If John and
others had looked properly before and while reversing,
46% of all traffic accidents would have been prevented.

The changing role of Lago as a


community member


"As the economy of Aruba has grown and become
more diversified, government and private agencies
and organizations have developed to meet community
needs.
Lago's role today is to be a constructive corporate
member of the community."

After the decline of gold mining, Aruba did not have any
notable industries until Lago was established in Aruba in
the mid-1920's. Prior to that, the island's population was
relatively small. The coming of Lago to Aruba
represented a significant change for the Aruban society
and with the expanding population came the need for a
wide variety of social services.

The operation of Lago itself required many supporting
services which were not then available. Lago had to
construct and operate housing for its employees, a
hospital and commissaries where employees could buy
food and other necessities. In those days the Company
operated a laundry as well as a foundry, a shipyard, a
garage, a carpenter shop and a very extensive machinery
repair shop that even today continues to be a key facility.
There was als the Lago Vocational School where over
950 persons were educated to be able to function in
technically oriented refinery jobs. Beyond these
essentials, the Company built and operated many sports
facilities, including a Gun Club, a Flying Club, a Golf
Club and the largest sport facility in San Nicolas which is
still called the Lago Sport Park.

Over the years, Lago worked closely with the
government and the community to move away from the
"company town" environment that existed in Lago's
early days.
During the late 50's the island's tourist industry started
to develop.'Lago participated in the effort to encourage
tourism by buying shares in Aruven, the agency set up
for that purpose. During the same period the public
education system was strengthened until, in 1959, the
Lago Vocational School was closed. As before, however,
employees and others were still provided the opportunity
to improve their skills and education through Company
sponsored upgrade programs, management training,
seminars, educational refund programs and
scholarships. For example, in the past 25 years more that
400 people have been granted scholarships through the
Lago Scholarschip Foundation.
Instead of continuing with a private hospital, once
Aruba's own modern hospital was constructed, the
Company developed a medical program to provide
continued medical service to its employees and their
families at Lago's clinic, the newer Oduber Hospital or
elsewhere.
Another dramatic change over the years was that for
painting/carpentry and similar construction work
formerly done "in house," Lago now contracts through
private enterprises close to 800 people on the refinery
premises at any one time.
In the 50 years that have passed since Lago started its
operations in Aruba, the island has grown to where
private enterprises and the government have taken over
the majority of the services for which, in the old days,


Lago necessarily assumed direct responsibility. Lago has
encouraged this trend to decrease the community's
heavy dependence on the Company. As a result, Lago's
role has changed, but its contribution as a member of the
Aruban community has continued in ways appropriate
to a private concern. This includes but is not limited to
the direct employment of over 1300 employees, the
indirect employment of hundreds of others and the
payment of corporate taxes.


A good example of Lago's continuing efforts to improve
employees' skills is the ongoing First Line Supervisory
training program. Above: participants Eddy Gomez and
Ernie Williams with instructor Robby Arends. Below:
participants Richard Simon and Ivan Gibson.


For example, according to Fritz Heaiion. P'ubh
Relations/Marketing Manager. "Lago is icpesentcd in
different government committees on the island sa h a.
the Oil Spill Control Committee and iln Alternate
Energy Committee" Lago also series as a soric of

information, knowledge and experience to a number of
students throughout the year. Students from high schools
in Aruba and students abroad often follow practical
training at Lago. To encourage interest in the sciences
and modern technology Lago has been sponsoring a
Science Fair for high schools every other year
"We also gi\e donations to help community' -oriented
organizations get started or to those \\ho have alleadl
shown themselves to be responsible in using their
resources as a contribution to the community W\
constantly get requests for donations which \\e rex iew
individually according to their individual merits," said
Fritz. When the Blood Bank w\as in the developing
stages, for instance. Lago contributed with a lump-sum
to help it get started. The Blood Bank is today a sell-
supporting organization. Lump-sums and materials
were also awarded to some Centro di Barrio's and others.
Casa Cuna. ARSCA. Imelda Hof Orphanage, Queen
Wilhelmina Kankerfonds, and the YMCA are a few' of
the organizations Lago helps on a recurring basis.

Falta di atencion di chauffeur ta stroba

seguridad di trafico


John ta bira wak na banda drechi, back su auto, y .... ta
dal un vehiculo biniendo di banda robez .... Accidente
causa door di falta di atencion di e chauffeur.

"Falta di atencion di chauffeur," Martinus Ras,
Administrative Lieutenant di Industrial Security
Department, a bisa, "ta e causa principal di
accidentenan di trafico ariba concession di Lago. De
facto, na 1982, 80% di tur accident di trafico tabata pa
motibo di falta di atencion di chauffeur y 46% di e
accidentenan ey a sosod6 na ora di back (reverse)." Otro
causanan di accident di trafico ta inclui falta di duna
derecho (6%), equipo cu fayo den seguridad manera falta
di freno (6%) y velocidad excesivo (1%).

E lema 'Paga Tino Riba Caminda' seguramente no ta
sin fondo ya cu tur e accidentenan e obviamente tabata
'prevenible'. Un accident pevenible ta un accident
den cuale chauffeur a neglisha di haci tur local elo por a
haci razonablemente pa previni6. Wak na banda drechi,
robes, y drechi atrobe, eviti distraccion di otro
chauffeur, peaton y situation, y paga tino en vez di sofia,
ta algun maneranan facil cu ta yuda prevent accident.

En Caso di Accidente

En caso un accident ocurri ariba concession di Lago,
kiko mester word haci? "E information aki ta
importantisimo," Martinus a enfatisA. "Primeramente
bo mester check si tin algun persona herida. Si no tin,
laga e auto na e manera cu ela bin para (Security ta
yama esaki e position CTR), yama polls di Lago na
3131, y warda e yegada di e agent di investigation. E
agent e ora lo regla trafico y lo investigate e caso."

Si tin un persona herida envolvi, instrui un hende pa
notifici polis di Lago, y duna "eerste hulp" mes ora si ta
necesario. Si e persona herida ta sangra hopi
(movimiento rapido den arteria) aplica presion director
ariba e herida of ariba e arteria principal mas cerca di e
herida. Di acuerdo cu Martinus: "Solamente si bo a
word entrend pa haci asina v/of condicionnan ta
demandA tal accion di bo banda (p.e. auto na candela),
nopurba di saca un victim cu bo ta sospechA di por tin
herida di weso for di e vehiculo. Dailo permanent por
resultA di trato inapropia."

Si un accident pasa pafor di concession di Lago na


moment cu un empleado ta cumplicndo cu aslntonian
di Compania cu auto alcuila posee pa Iago. pollh oi( la]
di Aruba mester wordo ama inmedliatanmente. Polis di
Lago mcster wordo avisa di c ilncidente asina ( 1
condition pefrmiti. "Dos cos implortalnte ci ( ha ulli-I1nan

cu mester manten6 c autonan den eposi(ion di ac( idenle
te ora cu un agent policial tega." Mat tLinls a (omment;i

Maneha cu Seguridad

Ya cu e total di 69 incident di trafico ariba concesion di
Lago den 1982 ta wordo consider un cantidad cxccsix o
(mas cu cualq uier aliliado den c region di Esso Intrl
America), e departamento di Industrial Secnuitl en
cooperation cu e Safety Section til plalnea pa orgaMiz
un curso den "Maneha Deflnsivamente". Den e
program di mehoracion aki, chaullenurnan lo ser instrui
con pa prevent accident a pesar di ac( ionnan
incorrect di otronan y condicionnan desfavorable."

E manual di Maneho cu Seguridad di National Safet\
Council ta sifia studiantenan con pa reconocl y sea
constantemente conscience di e siguiente scis
condicionnan cu ta altcta seguridad den mancho di
vehiculo: luz (ravo di solo), tempo (vobida. neblina).
caminda (birada, hanchi small, construccion), c vehiculo
di e chauffeur (tire, freno, x iper di windshield cu algun
defecto, y e chauffeur mes (fatiga, derecto den vista of
oido, alcohol v estado emotional manera rabia,
preocupacion, miedo).

Den in esfuerzo pa reduci e incidencia di accident, un
cooperation mutuo ta esencial. Un factor basic pero
important cu ta contribui na seguridad den trafico ta cu
cada individuo mester manten6 su mes estrictamente na
e leynan di trafico existente. "E levnan di trafico cu ta ser
sigi ariba concession di Iago ta e mesunnan cu ta aplica
na otro caminda round Aruba," Martinus a comenta.

Door di remedial of eviti peligro. of tin bez solamcnte
door di paga mas atencion na situacionnan existence di
trafico, menos incident di trafico v mancho di vehiculo
cu mas seg ridad lo por result. Si John y otronan a wak

46% di tur accident di trafico lo por a ser prevent.

Lago has also been sponsoring sports programs and other
entertainment programs on television and in accordance
with an increasing emphasis on safety, these programs
carry salfty related messages as does the weekly Lago
sponsored traffic safety program on Tele Aruba. In this
vein, the Company also continues to provide fire training
for outside organizations including the government fire
department.

But, perhaps, the most important contribution to the
community is made by many of Lago's employees, who
contribute their skills and talents in social organizations
on the island (such as Falpa, YMCA, Rode Kruis and
Centro di Barrio's).

As the economy of Aruba has grown and become more
diversified, government and private agencies and
organizations have developed to meet community needs.
Lago's role today is to be a constructive corporate
member of the community. The guiding principle is the
encouragement of self-sulticiency v within the community
\ hiich is, after all, Lago's community too.
