It is proposed to survey available information on the number of operators and the degree to which they are exposed at army munitions plants. This information will be screened and assessed to determine those lines and buildings that are the best candidate for a study to eliminate personnel from hazardous operations by process and methods modifications. An on-site audit will be made to obtain data for methods analyses. A video/sound camera will be used wherever possible. This will include the number of operators, description of operating steps and description hazards. The data for the audit will be assessed and process modifications recommended that will result in removal of operators from these hazardous operations.
