FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLYThe review followed an review protocol based on <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> established reviewprocedures, which was modified for the Raytheon review. It should be understood thatthe review consisted ofevaluating a sample of practices and was conducted in a shortspan of time relative to the review period. Efforts were directed toward sampling majorfacets of industrial hygiene performance during the period under review, but it isimportant to recognize that this method is intended to uncover major programdeficiencies, and this review might not have identified all potential problems.Review FindingsA. Previous Findings:I. Bldg. 817: In the Calendar Shop Area there was an operation beingperformed on a counter top which was giving off a significant smell of solvent vapors.Upon examination of Material Safety Data Sheets provided by Raytheon it wasdetermined that this potentially represented an exposure to materials that could causenarcosis and cardiac problems. On the adjacent waIl there was located a table top thathad a slotted hood local exhaust ventilation system. The industrial hygienist at Raytheonadvised that he would conduct an analysis of the operation to determine the risk andrecommend appropriate control measures. (Corrected by IH evaluation and sampling.)2. Overall AFP <strong>44</strong>: Storage of compressed Gas Cylinders has significantlyimproved and is no longer considered a finding.B. New Findings: Bldg 833: In the garage area a gasoline powered forklift was beingfueled inside the building. The garage area does not contain the appropriate electrical orother necessary protective equipment to allow for fueling of vehicles. (This wascorrected by the building supervisor immediately upon being brought to hisattention.)C. Overall Opinion<strong>Base</strong>d on the review of the program at <strong>Plant</strong> <strong>44</strong>, Raytheon, over the last 9 years, I believethat a significant improvement of the IH program continues to be made over the previousyears and meets all applicable governmental and company policies and procedures. Thisopinion is based on my professional judgment and the application of USAF establishedreview procedures. I wish to thank the IH staff for their assistance in the effort.Recommendation: That all open items be accomplished as soon as feasible. That the IHstaff be commended for their continued improvement of the work sitesWilliam J LaFountainTechnical expert for Industrial Hygieneand Occupational HealthUSAF ASC/ENVVAttachment 2
