Notes of an informal hearing between Union Carbide's Texas City plant and OSHA officials about OSHA Citation P4765, issued after a failure of a Seal-Fast coupling in a contractor's system. The notes record the plant manager's arguments that UCC was being made the insurer of contractor equipment, OSHA's responses, and UCC's decision to contest the citation. The exhibit also includes a plant safety record sheet, a drawing of the broken coupling, and handwritten notes of the visit.
