2. Safety Precautions:
How to Prevent the Spread of Germs: Its as simple as Washing your hands frequently and covering your
mouth when you cough!

Germs are spread when we touch something that has been frequently touched by other people. When a person
coughs or sneezes without completely covering his or her mouth or nose, germs are spread through the air. The
flu is an example of a disease that is frequently spread this way. Take responsibility and do your part to stop
spreading germs.

Terri Kanamine is the designated Safety Officer. However, EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.
When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee
plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone theres a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.

3. Area Update:
Night time beach clean-up began June 16, due to daily high heat index.
Tar balls and tar patties ranging in size from less than 1cm up to12cm continue to be found in widely

scattered areas of Northwest Florida. The heaviest impacts have been seen from Escambia County, Santa
Rosa County and Okaloosa County.
Perdido Pass, Pensacola Pass and Destin Pass will be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil
from entering inland waters. The United States Coast Guard's Captain of the Port for Sector Mobile
authorized the official closure of Perdido Pass, Pensacola Pass and Destin Pass. These waterways will be
manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic. Perdido Pass, Pensacola Pass and Destin Pass will be
open for vessel traffic during low tide. Boom will be deployed across each Pass at flood tide (water
coming in) and removed at ebb tide (water going out).

4. State Update:
According to the NOAA oil plume model, the oil plume remains 52 miles from Mexico Beach and
248 miles from St. Petersburg, with non contiguous sheens and scattered tarballs closer. Coastal
regions near and west of Panama City may experience shoreline impacts by Friday.
Scattered patches of sheen and tarballs remain in the Loop Current Ring. Observations continue
to indicate that the Loop Current Ring has detached from the Loop Current, meaning that any
scattered patches of sheen and tarballs will likely remain in the Loop Current Ring.

System and approximately 3,850 barrels of oil and 40 million cubic feet of natural gas were flared.
