Work Permits Training Presented

On Videotape To Over 100 Employees


The second series of training
sessions on the new Lago Work
Permits Manual of Regulations
and Procedures was held Jan-
uary 16-19, 1968. Attended by
six groups of sixteen employees
each, the sessions were held at
the Administration Building and
presented in part on videotape.
These sessions dealt with the
departmental rules for the cor-
rect use of work permits, equip-
ment preparation and job proce-
dures affecting equipment with-
in their jurisdiction. General
rules governing the issuance of
all work permits and the Saf-
ety Code of Lago were also cov-
ered.
Each participating group con-
sisted of employees from Mech-
anical, Process and other de-
partments. Those selected re-
quire this training in connection
with their jobs.
During the sessions the par-
ticipants were given both pre-
and post-tests before and after


the videotaped presentation. By
comparing these tests, they
were able to assess how much
they have learned from the
course.
Total training time per em-
ployee was four hours, split in
2-hour sessions held on two
consecutive days.
A pilot group of fourteen
Mechanical employees and one
Process employee took the

We Did Better Before..

As the "Good Housekeeping" chart for 1966 and 1967 (see below)
tells us, Lago employees did an excellent job during 1966. They not
only reached Lago's goal of 90%, but even surpassed it.

Last year's results were not so good. Since April, 1967, the good
housekeeping efforts by all employees dropped to a low of 69%
but improved to 77.4% at the year end.
It's true that new standards have been set during 1967, making
it harder for any area to improve its rating. For instance, oil spills
and weeds now also affect the housekeeping record. In addition,
last year in April, the vertical inspection has been added to hori-
zontal inspection. This means that now inspection is not only done
on ground level, but also on high level structures.
All this means that everyone should be more conscious of his
responsibility to help keep Lago clean. Cleaner job sites help reduce
hazards and accidents.
With the start of the new year, we make resolutions for new
objectives and improvements, whether personal or job-related. One
of these could also be to do a better job in good housekeeping. If
each employee working in the refinery would spend a few minutes
a day to clean up his job site, we can again do better and achieve
or even exceed Lago's 90% objective. The end result will be a
cleaner and safer place to work.



Nos a Had Mihor Antes..

Si nos mira aki bao e mapa di "Limpieza na Trabao" pa anjanan
1966 y 1967, nos lo nota cu empleadonan di Lago a haci un bon
trabao na 1966. No solamente nan a cumpli cu Lago su obhetivo
di 90%, pero nan a pasd tambe.
Resultadonan di anja past no tabata asina bon. Desde April 1967,
eafuersonan general di empleadonan pa tene limpieza na trabao a
baha na un cifra abao di 69%, pero na fin di anja tabatin un
mehora te na 77.4%.
Ta berdad cu reglanan nobo mas fuerte a word poni na vigor
den 1967, cual ta haci mas dificil pa cualkier teritorio mehora su
clasificacion. Por ehempel, dramamento di zeta y yerba awor tambe
ta afecta bo reputation di limpieza na trabao. Ademas, anja pasn
na April inspection vertical a word poni cerca inspection horizon-
tal. Esey kier meen cu inspection awendia ta tuma lugar tantu riba
nivel dl tera, como na nivelnan haltu den plant.
Tur esey kier meen cu cada uno di empleadonan master ta mas
conciente di su responsabilidad pa tene Lago limpi. Lugarnan mas
limpi di trabao ta juda ellmina riscunan y causa di desgracia.
Awor cu anja nobo a cuminza, nos ta tuma decision pa obhetivo-
nan nobo y mehoranza, sea personal of na reladon cu nos trabao.
Un di e decisionnan ey por ta pa trece mas limpieza na trabao.
8i cada empleado cu ta traha den refineria tuma algun minuut
cada dia pa limpia bon e lugar caminda cu e ta traha, nos por had
minor y hasta nos por surpass Lago su obhetivo di 90% atrobe.
Resultado final lo ta un lugar di trabso mihor y mas seguro.

1967 Off-the-Job Figures Indicate

Less Injuries, More Workdays Lost
Last year's off-the-job accident experience by Lago employees
shows an improvement compared to 1966 statistics. The off-the-job
frequency rate improved 1.8%, from 11.08% in 1966 to 9.28%.
During 1967, employees were involved in eight traffic lost-time
accidents compared to 10 traffic lost-time accidents in 1966.
Below are some comparative figures on off-the-Job accidents:


1966


Post Office Operations Improved

With Use of New Postage Machine


A new machine in service at
Lago now is the Pitney-Bowes
Postage Metering Machine. It
replaces a Hassler postage ma-
chine in use for more than 25
years by Lago's Post Office.
Just a bit larger in size, the
new machine offers several ad-
vantages over the previous one.
Some of the new features are:
1. It seals envelopes automat-
ically.
2. It automatically feeds en-
velopes 4%" minimum and
12" maximum in length and
up to %" thickness, which
have the same postage. En-
velopes containing retire-
ment checks, for instance,
can now be handled at the
rate of 170 per minute.
3. Special postage strips used
for large and thick pack-
ages are automatically
glued.
4. The machine prints single
postage up to a value of
Fis. 99.99. The old machine
could only go up to


1967


Fla. 9.99. A postage of
Fls. 56 required 6 single
strips on the old machine.
5. The inking supply lasts
about six months. The pad
of the old machine had to
be inked every day.
6. In addition to registering
postage, the new machine
records the number of let-
ters handled.
7. The machine's meter can
be set to handle up to an
accumulated value of
Fls. 100,000. It's now set at
FlI. 10,000 on a trial basis.
The old machine required
postage cards of Fls. 100
each, to be inserted as need.
ed. Used cards had to be re-
turned to the Government
Post Office each week.
Lago's Postmaster Jossy
Hunt says the new machine is
a great help in handling an
average of 300 letters and pack-
ages per day. Total postage
handled by Lago's Post Office
is about Fl. 50,000 a year.

Total Injuries
Lost-Time Injuries
Workdays Lost
Fatalities


The figures for 1967 indicate that one out of every 6 employees
was injured, while out of every 29 employees one was disabled and
lost time from the job.
Whereas for 1966, each lost-time injury resulted in an average of
14 days lost from work, for 1967 an average of 31 days were lost
for each lost-time injury. This means that the lost-time injuries in
1967 were of a more serious nature, resulting in more workdays
lost.
The following breakdown of 1966 and 1967 lost-time injuries sus-
tained by employees off the job indicates that more than 60% of
the accidents occurred in or around homes.

Heavy Rainfall in

Last Year's Total
Last year's rainfall was 1.67
Inches less than 1966. However,
it was 3.55 inches more than
the annual average of 19.28
inches. This is the average for
the thirty-eight years the Tech-
nical-Laboratories have been
keeping records.
Last year's total rainfall
measured 22.83 inches as com-
pared to 1966, when 24.50 inches
were recorded.
The heaviest rainfall of the
year was during September.
That month 4.99 inches were
registered, with a total of 8.45
inches on September 13, between
T:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon.
This unusual heavy downpour
brought about several inconven-
encee. Several low-lying areas,
much as Pos Chikitu were Inun-
lated, the bridge over Spanish
Lagoon and the Frenchman's
Pam were flooded, paralyzing
raffle between San Nicolas and
Dranjestad.

Kitchen Is a Center of Activity;

Familiarity Can Be Safety Hazard


Your kitchen is a potential
killer.
This word of warning comes
from Sara Miles, a graduate
home economist, who is con-
sultant with the National Safe-
ty Council's Home Department.

The kitchen, she says, is a
potenclal killer because it's the
work center of the home. It'd
the place where fire and hot li-'
quids are handled most often
and where sharp cutting instru-
ments, gas and many electrical
appliances and potentially pois-
onous and flammable cleaning
agents are kept.

Because the kitchen is a room
that is so much a center of fa-
mily life, familiarity has bred
contempt of its dangers.
A kitchen requires only the
following three essentials to
make it safe:

Safe planning.
Safe equipment.
Safe habits.

Safe Planning Plan your
home with adequate wiring, and
place electric outlets near the
points of appliance use to eli-
minate the danger of tripping
over cords. Doors should not!
swing so as to obstruct traffic.


To prevent fires, window cur-
tains and towel racks should bd
kept away from sources of
heat. A special high or locked
closet for cleaning compounds
that may be hazardous to child-
ren, should be provided.


Safe equipment To avoid
painful bruises and even se-
rious accidents, round off sharp
corners on counters or tables.
Select only appliances that car-
ry U.L. or A.G.A. labels. Look
for safety features, such as
signal lights, safety released
and solid construction. Good
light is very important. Make
sure all appliances are installed
properly. Have them all inspect-
ed periodically. The sharpest
knives should be kept in a rack
above the reach of children. Use
a step stool to climb, rather
than chairs or pulled-out draw-


ers. The pots and pans you se-
lect should be well-balanced and
have heat-resistant handles
with comfortable grip, tight fit-
ting lids and no-drip spouts.

Safe habits include: Wiping
up spills on the floor. Wearing
sensible shoes and appropriate
clothing that has no long, loose
sleeves. Reading the manufac.
turer's instructions before using
equipment that is used infreq-
uently. Reading the labels on
cleaning compounds and heeding
cautions regarding the use and
storage of these products. Hand-
ling electrical appliances with dry
hands, replacing worn electrical
cords and using equipment as
directed by manufacturer's li-
terature. Keep food and non.
edible products on separate
shelves. Replacing caps securely
on cleaning compounds and re-
turning them to a safe storage
area immediately after using.
