Ca\ .llat o i lma ked the following
at the initiation of the course: "At
Lago \e\ aie cnmphasi/ing safety,
because we believe that all injuries
can be avoided. It is our task to
see to it that all work is done
safely.
The task is twofold: One, we must
recognize when things are done
wrong, and two, we must do
something about it. If we do not,
an accident will surely happen. If
we do not alert someone when he
is doing something wrong, we are
in effect telling hem that what he
is doing is all right, and that is
very detrimental."
"To help members of management
and supervision accomplish that
task," said Mi. Dwight Monk,


Senior Safety Consultant of the Du
Pont Company and the instructor
of the program. "we will teach
them elective techniques for safety
auditing. That is the objective of
this training program."
How does that contribute to
accident prevention? "We have
found out." said Mr. Monk, "that
in our own Du Pont companies.
96% of all accidents are caused by
human error. In this safety audit
course, we teach the participants
to detect potential risks by
watching people at work,
analyzing those work activities lblo
risks, and then do something about
the problems encountered."
In teams of three, Mr. Monk
conducts safety audits in the
refinery. "Mans people aren't
accustomed to looking at people
and their actions." explained Mr.
Monk. "They've been taught to
look at equipment. In fact. the\
spend their time on the 4% instead
ol the 96% that cause the


accidents."
On the audit trip. the participants
have to observe the positions of the
people, their actions and how they
use the tools and equipment.
Afterwards, a discussion of the
observations takes place and the
participants are to develop
ideas on how to make the refinery
a safer place to work.
According to Mr. Monk, this
Management Safety Audit
Training is one of the most
important aspects of managing
safety. "This course," he said. "is
the most important step any
company can take to raise its
standard of performance and to
maintain it. That is why we
recommend the participants to
spend 30 minutes to one hour a
week watching their people at
work and correcting the problems
they see."
In other words, this training is just
the beginning of a continuous
audit activity. *

classroom participants. Mr. Monk points out that in order to detect potential risks, one
must learn to "watch people at work, analyze their work activities and then do something

Mas cu 200 empleado di tur e
departamentonan na Lago lo asisti
na e Management Safety Audit
Training durante e lunanan di

Pa enfatizA e importancia cu

indudablemente. Si nos no alertA
un hende ora cu e ta hasiendo algo
robez, nos ta en realidad bisando e
persona ey cu lo cual e ta hasiendo

"Pa yuda miembronan di gerencia

di Du Pont Compan y e
instructor di e program di
entrenamiento aki a bisa, "nos lo
sifia nan tecnicanan efectivo pa

Con esey ta contribui na

errornan human. Den e curso aki

riesgonan potential door di
observe hendenan cu ta trahando,
analizando e actividadnan di

Den equipo di tres persona, St.
Monk ta dirigi revisionnan di

The pain associated with the burn

As large as Exxon is, the basically
simple way Exxon organizes its
multifaceted interests makes it easy
to understand who we are.
Picture an organization chart,
with 14 boxes. Eight of these
represent companies that perform
functional tasks, irrespective of
geography; the others represent
companies that are responsible for
energy related operations in
different parts of the world. The
former are called "operating
companies" and the latter
"regions."
Here is an updated thumbnail
sketch of Exxon and its 14 parts,
including headquarters' locations
and approximate number of
employees as of year-end 1983.

Exxon Corporation

Broad policy guidance for the
entire corporation is provided by
corporate headquarters in New
York City, under the general
direction of Exxon's board of
directors. The day-to-day
management of the corporation is
the responsibility of the chief
executive officer assisted by a
management committee composed
of senior executives.
The executives oversee
management performance in the
major operating companies and
regions with special attention to
three areas: long-range investment
plans and capital budgets,
operating results, and the ability to
find and identify executive talent
and use it effectively.
The New York headquarters
includes staff departments
specializing in various phases of
the petroleum business, as well as
departments responsible for
finance, controllership, taxation,
law, corporate planning, investor
relations, communications and
computer sciences, employee
relations, medical and
environmental health services,
office of coal coordination and
public affairs.
Several of these corporate
departments are located in East
Millstone and Florham Park, N.J.
Number of employees: 1,700.
