Lower Our Rate in '68
As in most things, there are also ups and downs in safety at
Lago. We haven't reached a low last year, but we are far from
our achievement in 1966 when we won first place in the Nat-
ional Safety contest with .081 disabling frequency rate. For
1967, our disabling frequency rate was 1.83, with six disabling
injuries, compared to three in 1966.
Although we had less accidents in 1967, 157 compared to 170
in 1966, Lago employees suffered 114 injuries last year and
112 in 1966.
Some of the highlights for increased safety activities under-
taken in 1967 included: Revision of the Work Permits Manual
and training on this manual; production of Lago's first video-
tape safety talk on safe lifting procedure; random safety sampl-
ing with foremen for defective tools and job methods in the ref-
inery; and follow-up on recommendations pertaining to accidents
which occurred in 1966 and 1967.
Analyzing the three major causes of accidents at Lago during
1966 and 1967, we can notice some improvement as shown by
the following figures:


Number of Acciden
1966 19


Exposure through Inattention
Windblown Foreign Body in Eye
Defective Machines or Equipment


its
'67

13
14
27


Noticeably, none of the six disabling injuries for 1967 were
from these three main causes. Three were caused because pre-
cautions were overlooked in planning work, two because estab-
lished procedures were not observed and one was due to poor
equipment handling. This may tend to indicate that while em-
ployees were alert for those causes mainly responsible for most
accidents in 1966, they slackened on others during 1967.
One good lesson from this experiences is that one should be
alert in all fields, all the time. We should not neglect any area,
as accidents may happen where we least expect them. So let's
all help to lower our rate in '68.

Empleado a expone su mes na peliger
pa falta di atencion 38
Bientu a supla cos den wowo di hende 36

Notablemente, ningun di e seis desgracianan incapacitante na

causA pasobra nan a lubida di tuma precaucion ora dl plane e
trabao, dos pasobra procedimentonan establecl no a word cum-

cu, mientras empleadonan tabata alert pa e tres causanan mas
responsabel pa desgracianan di 1966, nan a perde tinu pa e otro
causanan.

Un bon les di tal experiencia ta: nos mester ta alerto pa tur
desgracia di cualkier causa, y tur ora bal. Nos no master lubida
ningun causa di desgracia, pasobra desgracia por sosede caminda

F bruar 9 1968














































The CYI Committee design-
ated the PCAR turnaround as
the first "problem area" for
1968, effective February 1.

A Fls. 50 bonus will be paid
for each adopted idea which
will shorten the PCAR turn-
around. The bonus is in addi-
tion to the minimum award of
Fls. 40 making the total award
for an adopted idea pertain-
ing to this particular area
worth at least Fls. 90.


February 9 1968


Standard Oil Earnings Announced


PCAR is first "Problem
Area" for 1968.
PCAR ta promer "Area di
Problem" pa 1968.

Win Extra Bonus Award


Record levels of earnings,
revenues, and operating vol-
umes were noted recently in a
preliminary report by M. L.
Haider, Chairman of the Board
of the Standard Oil Company
(New Jersey).
Estimated earnings for Jer-
sey Standard and its affiliates
worldwide rose 9.1 per cent to
a total of $1,190,000,000 for
1967, equal to $5.53 a share on
the average of 215,367,000
shares outstanding. "This
earnings estimate," Mr. Hai-
der said, "represent an in-
crease of $99,000,000 over the
final audited results for the
year 1966, which were
$1,090,944,000, or $5,06 a share.


Return on average sharehol-
ders' equity rose to 12.9 per
cent in 1967, from 12.4 per
cent in 1966."
The earnings improvement
was attributed in large part to
increased operating levels in
the United States, where sign-
ificant gains in crude produc-
ton and product sales were
achieved. In Eastern Hemis-
phere operations, higher vol-
umes and some recovery in
product prices were largely
offset by continued rising
costs and higher tax pay-
ments.
Income and operating taxes,
together with import duties,
consumer taxes and other pay-
