Spring 2001

CSC/TC continued to be active in the ARSC organization. The ARSC "Common Card" was being utilized by Safety Councils in Houston, Baton Rouge, Nederland and Port Lavaca. CSC/TC User Advisory Group approved use of the ARSC "Common Card" for our facilities and the CSC/TC Board approved up to $12,000 to fund the project. CSC/TC began working with ARSC Safety Councils to develop the network capabilities to share data necessary to utilize the ARSC "Common Card". CSC/TC was successful in the satisfactory completion of the ARSC audit required by ARSC to maintain ARSC membership. The audit was conducted on April 10, 2001 with no significant findings. The ARSC audit, required every two (2) years by ARSC, ensures program integrity, security and quality of instruction at all ARSC Safety Councils involved in reciprocity. ARSC Curriculum Committee agreed to add an additional component to the ARSC program curriculum covering heat stress. This module will be included in the next program update.

CSC/TC Board activities in the spring 2001 included the approval of a 401(K) plan for full-time employees. A restricted/unrestricted asset plan was developed and will be presented to the Executive Policy Committee (EPC) at the annual meeting between the CSC/TC Board and EPC, comprised of the Plant Manager of each User Company.

The CBT Lab expansion / interior renovations project began in late April 2001. CSC/TC General Manager attended the Houston Business Roundtable 14th Safety Award Banquet at Moody Gardens, Galveston, TX. Our area User Companies recognized many of our member contractors for outstanding safety performance during the past year.

The year concluded with CSC/ TC planning our 2nd Annual Golf Tournament / Membership Meeting. A golf tournament of thirty-six (36) teams was scheduled to participate in the event scheduled for June 28, 2001.
