Batman In Good Housekeeping Action!


Have you ever seen Batman
and Robin in action going up
the stairs of our refinery
units? Perhaps not But soon,
anything above ground level
will be inspected by the Saf-
ety Inspection men, process
foremen and regional super-
visors.
Batman and Robin can help
give an idea how the new Good
Housekeeping program works:
Robin: Holy broom handle,
Batman! What's this
new Good Housekeep-
ing Program all
about?
Batman: Well, Robin, there
are three new featu-
res in the program:
1.From now on,
three men will be
inspecting the ar-
eas: the Safety
Section man, a Pro-
cess foreman and a
Mechanical regio-
nal supervisor.
2. These men will al-
so check all elevat-
ed areas, even as
high as the top
story of the Cat
Cracker.
3. Oil spills and weeds
will also be includ-
ed in the total rat-
ing.
Robin: That's all very nice,
but why so many men


for this kind of job?
Batman: One thing you should
remember, Robin. In
the past, only the
Safety man was look-
ing around, but three
can see more than
one. Another thing is
that this new system
makes it possible for
the supervisors to
know their areas
"inch by inch". They
may be startled by
observing things,
perhaps unsafe situa-
tions which might
otherwise never have
been discovered. They
will know their area
better and can speak
from experience
whenever they talk
about their area.
Robin: I understand now.
What are the other
points of the pro-
gram?
Batman: Some of the impor-
tant points are the
following. Each area
will be inspected once
every two months,
without previous
warning. The pro-
gram is administered
by the IR-Safety Sec-
tion and the follow-
ing grading system is
used:

ODL-Type Meetings Help
Managers In Reviewing
Policies Affecting Them
Some 200 management
members will contribute to
the final steps of policy
reviews and updating which
have been underway since
last year. Using the same
techniques which proved ef-
fective in the Organization
Development Laboratory a
while back, the management
members will have an oppor-
tunity to review those policies
and plans which apply specifi-
cally to them.
Before attending the ses-
sions, the management mem-
bers have already indicated
which policies or plans should
be considered for this team
review and evaluation. Those
areas which have the greatest
general interest will be con-
sidred first and so on until
all significant policy questions
are dealt with in the team
manner.
In these policy review ses-
sions, a group of about 20
members will be divided into
three teams of six to seven
persons. Each team will be
asked to identify those poll-
cies or plans which they con-
sider need improvement
These team problems will be
presented to and discussed by

A 100% INCREASE OVER 1965

Lago Purchases Over FIs. 8.5 Million

In Local Materials I Services In 1966


During 1966, Lago's pur-
chases of materials, equipment
and services from local busin-
ess amounted to over Fls. 8.5
million. This represents more
than 100% increase over 1965,
when total purchases of mat-
erials and services amounted
to Fls. 4,232,000.
Major services totaled over
Fls. 7,000,000 in 1966, com-
pared to Fls. 2,700,000 in
1965. Last year, some forty-
one contractors employing se-
veral hundred workers were
engaged by Lago on the Oil
Movements, Control House
and other projects.
In keeping with Lago's pol-
icy to buy all materials,
equipment and services that
are available locally, the Ma-
terials Division does not stock
items that can be purchased
- or made on the island.
The philosophy to discon-
tinue as many stock items as


possible that can be purchased
locally has two definite bene-
fits: (1) The local economy is
boosted by the increased
amounts of money in circula-
tion, (2) With less stock items,
less money is tied up in in-
ventory, and can be used for
other building projects.
Some of the items and serv-
ices bought locally include
automobile rentals, stationery
and office supplies, lumber,
pipe and fittings, paints and
hardware. Other typical local
expenditures were for sand,
crushed stone, concrete blocks,
service watches and catering
service for Lago dinners.
For the first four months of
this year, total services and
materials purchased locally
amounted to more than
Fls. 3,293,000, compared to
FPs. 2,830,000 for a four-month
period in 1966.


100% MAS CU ANJA 1965

Lago Ta Cumpra 8.5 Miljon Florin Na

Material y Servicionan Local den 1966


Durante 1966 Lago su com-
pranan na material, equipo y
servicionan di comerciantenan
local a monta na mas cu 8.5
miljon florin. Esaki ta dobbel
di anja 1965, durante cual La-
go a cumpra un total di
f. 4,232,000.
Servicionan grand a mon-
tana na f. 7 miljon na 1966,
compare cu f. 2.7 miljon na
1965. Anja pasa 41 contratis-
ta cu ta duna trabao na va-
rios centenar di trahador a
hanja encargonan di Lago ri-
ba proyectos di Oil Move-
ments, Control House y otro
projectonan.
Di acuerdo cu Lago su poli-
tica di cumpra localmente tur
material, equipo y servicio cu
ta disponibel ski mes, Mate-
rials Division no ta tene stock
di e articulonan ey cu por
word cumpri of traha ski na
Aruba.
E pensamento di cancel
asina tantu articulo di stock
cu ta posibel, cual por word


cumpra aki mes, tin dos bene-
ficio distinto: (1) Economia
local ta recibi un adelanto pa
medio di mas placa den circu-
lacion, y (2) Cu menos articu-
lo den stock, menos placa ta
mark den articulonan di inven-
tario, y e placa por word usa
pa otro project di construc-
cion.

Algun di e articulonan y
servicionan cumpri na Aruba
ta huur di auto, material y
equipo pa oficina, madera, tu-
bo y nan fitting, verf y ferre-
teria. Otro gastunan local ti-
pico tabata pa santu, piedra
pa concreet, blokki di con-
creet, oloshi pa empleado cu
hopi servicio, y cuminda pa
comemento cu Lago ofrece.

Pa e promer cuater luna di

Safety Awareness Committee Reviews M.E.SoerstonL.Bergen Soderston Named Materials Div. Supt;

Current Problems, Takes Quick Action A Ser Dna Prmoi Bergen Becomes Lab-Shift Supervisor


Potential hazards and un-
safe conditions in the refinery
which may affect the safety
of Lago employees require
prompt handling. This is one
of the main objectives of the
Mechanical Department Saf-
ety Awareness Committee,
consisting of Mechanical su-
pervisors.
Recently appointed members
of the Committee are: Domi-
nico Britten, chairman; Pedro
I. Arends, Hose V. Tromp,
Sylvester Geerman, Adolf M.
Arends, members; and Alex-
ander L. M. Connor, secretary.
Adviser to the Committee is
Safety Head John Hodgson.
Having started in 1964, the
Committee's broad objective is
to assist departmental super-
visors in their efforts to make
Lago one of world's safest re-
fineries.
To achieve this and to have
a varied group of men with
fresh ideas, the Committee
members rotate regularly and
serve for about a one-year pe-
riod. The S.A.C. meets once a
week to discuss current safety
problems and their solution.
Each week two of the Com-
mittee members observe un-
safe conditions, work proce-

dures at a specified unit, area
or shop. Their observations
are then reviewed by the Com-
mittee in their subsequent
meeting. The Committee ma-
kes recommendations to the
department supervisors con-
cerned to take prompt action
where necessary.
Committee Chairman Brit-
ten also meets once a month
with Mechanical Manager K.
L. Weill to discuss the Com-
mittee's work progress and
current problems.
The effectiveness of the
Committee's efforts may be
evident from over 160 hazard-
ous conditions that were cor-
rected in the last four months
of this year.
"The task of reporting un-
safe conditions or hazards is
one to which every employee
should contribute," says Saf-
ety Head John Hodgson.
Each employee can report
unsafe conditions or hazards
by means of safety slips. These
should be turned in through
the employee's immediate su-

pervisor. Every week, the Saf-
ety Awareness Committee re-
views some fifty of these saf-
ety slips.


Two promotions were an-
nounced effective May 1, Mal-
colm E. Soderston was prom-

Lago's Heavy Equipment Operators Use

Skill and 'Long Arm' To Do Their Job


Great skill and experience
is needed in all activities in a
refinery such as Lago. This is
also. true for the drivers and
operators of heavy equipment
at Lago, like cranes, ross car-
riers, winch trucks, and giraf-
fe trucks.
Of all these pieces of heavy
equipment, the crane opera-
tors have the longest "arms"
to do their job. With manual
skills, they extend the long
arm of their crane some 110
feet away or raise it over 80
feet high to lift tube bundles
or other pieces of equipment
at various locations in the re-
finery.
Lago has five large cranes,
which are capable of lifting up
to 45 tons. The experienced
men in the cranes' cabins are
Luis Werleman, Ricardo We-
ver, Estanislao Koolman and
Ignacio Wernet. A Pettibone
winch truck, with a lifting
capacity of eleven tons, is ope-


rated by Rudolf Rasmjn.
One of the largest lifts the
operators recall they once
handled in the refinery was
when four cranes had to join
hands to lift and put the east
and west reactors of NFAR in
place.
Because work is frequently
done in confined spaces at
many refinery units, these op-
erators have always to dedi-
cate special attention not only
to their own safety, but to the
safety of their fellow workers
as well.
In addition to these "crawl-
ing animals" with their ex-
tended arms, Lago also has
other mechanical animals: the
giraffes and camels (roes car-
riers). The high-back 'camels'
can carry up to 20-ton lifts
between their four wheels. The
giraffe is used particularly to
do repairs, painting and other
work where a step ladder
would be impractical to use.


THIS WINCH truck can lift eleven tons.

The fully automatic ma-
chine, which is about the size
of a regular office desk, can
make up to seven copies per
minute. The machine can use
copy paper such as bond, ma-

Give Your Car Battery
A Lift With Baking Soda
And Get a Better Start
Do you have trouble start-
ing your car in the morning?
Then dirt may very well be
the cause of your trouble.
It's not generally known,
but accumulated dirt on top of
a battery can make the differ-
ence in instant starts, slow
starting or no starting at all.
A film of. dirt on a battery
top may be conducting electri-
city, thus becoming a small
but steady voltage leak that
keeps the battery in a run-
down condition.
To check this possibility,
,just borrow a voltmeter from
your mechanic, and make the
following tests.
Attach one lead of the volt-
meter to the correct ground
terminal of the battery. Touch
the free voltmeter lead to var-
rious points on top of the bat-
tery, always avoiding the ter-
minal that is already connect-
ed to the voltmeter. If the
scale reads more than 0.1 volt
for any point touched, the
battery should be cleaned.
To clean the battery, thor-
oughly dissolve three spoon-
fuls of ordinary baking soda
in a quart of water. Brush
this solution onto the battery


Although the 914 Copier is
not designed to reduce or en-
large, it can make multilith
masters for reproduction on
the multilith presses.
The push-button machine,
which can produce perfect co-
pies without making adjust-
ments or exposure setting, is
easy to operate. It has control
buttons for "On", "Print" and
the number of copies desired
can be set by turning the print
selector knob.
The 914 Xerox Copier has
been obtained on a rental ba-
sis from the Xerox Nederland-
pe Antillen N.V. from Curacao.
