has a component Safety Officer who has been trained in safety
management techniques by a creditable outside organization. He has
attended Agency-sponsored (OSHA) 40-hour training programs.
Safety Officer implements the safety program and follows through with the
assistance of supervisors in the investigation of work accidents or
hazards and "near misses". Selected rsonnel are trained in emergency
care for the ill or injured. as a full time Medical Technician
assigned to handle any extreme emer encies and to conduct CPR and other
related emergency treatment courses
25X1 The safety program at is consistent with the intent of
CIA Safety & Health rogram. as experienced relatively
few accidents involving lost time during the past calendar year. During
25X1 the period 1 January 1987 through 20 November 1987 has
experienced seven (7) lost time accidents out of 25 total accidents
overall.
Listed below are a number of safety problem areas and safety measures
accomplished during the period 1 January 1987 through 20 November 1987.
Fumes & Vapors - Twenty-four exhaust fans are strategically located
25X1 throughout to protect employees' health. Six additional fans
are installed in overhead door openings in summertime.
Dust Problems - GSA employs two machines, an el t ' r and
25X1 electric scrubber, to reduce the amount of dust These
machines are similar to dust removal equipment used throughout the
industrial community. The machines are used daily, the machines are
very old and have been in a state of disrepair quite frequently over
25X1 the past few months. personnel have been discussing this
problem with General Services Administration (GSA) in an attempt to
25X1 have the machines replaced. floors have been sealed periodically
throughout the year to reduce dust problems.
Excessive Heat or Cold
Excessive Heat - GSA established a task force to resolve
excessive heat problems during the summer months. The overhead
ventilating fans were repaired and are 95% operational. Defective
units are awaiting spare parts replacement. The roof was painted
with an aluminum reflective paint which reduced the temperature
about ten percent (10%). Some relief from the hot sun was noticed
as a result of this exercise.
Excessive Cold - All heating units are in good operating
condition. Permission was received from GSA to again raise the
temperatures in the industrial work areas. New closer fitting large
overhead doors have been installed in the Small Purchases Section
(SPS) Receiving Area to keep out cold air. Clear plastic sheeting
has been installed around selected unused overhead doors to keep out
the cold air. The new enclosed dock area is now completed.
This should create a better environment in which to work.

25X1 Radiation - In the past has not dealt with any major
radiation problem as most of our shipments involving a radiation
hazard very minimal and are properly packaged upon arrival here
nrvw
25X1 Roof Leaks - The roof leaks in ]have been corrected through
the establishment of a GSA contract with a local vendor. A large 50,000
square foot quadrant which was the most seriously damaged area was
completely repaired. The remaining 200,000 square feet which requires
less extensive repairs was repaired in calendar year 1986. Sporadic
leaks are repaired by GSA on an ad hoc basis as required.
25X1 Safety Shoes - All personnel at Q are now issued two (2) pairs
of safety shoes. The shoes are fitted on the job through the periodic
visit of a commercial shoe truck or are purchased individually if volume
25X1 sales do not necessitate the truck transiting Individuals draw
official funds and purchase safety shoes accordingly. Periodic-
inspections are made to insure that personnel are wearing safety shoes as
prescribed by regulations. Supervisors are responsible for compliance
with the program.
Housekeeping Practices - Safety Inspections - Weekly a monthly
25X1 inspections are conducted on all shop tools and equipment. fire
extinguishers are inspected semi-annually. A weekly safety and security
inspection is made a iday by the Safety Officer and reported in
25X1 writing to the Chie e r_v F~ Supervisors are advised to take corrective
action as necessary. All supervisors are made aware of the need for good
housekeeping and safety practices, and in turn, pass on their experience
along to the employees under their supervision. The most current safety
meeting was held in September 1987.
Training - Scheduled and/or Recommended

is planning an updated supervisor"s training course in CY 1988.
CPR & First Aid Classes - Six (6) or more CPR classes are planned for
the calendar year 1988, and a short first aid class in concert with these
CPR classes. Annual re-certification will be given to all CPR trained
employees who complete the one-half day refresher course in CPR
Forklift Training - Ten (10) forklift training courses were held at
25X1 for new employees. At least eight (8) will be held in CY-1988.
Refresher training will be held periodically through the use of films and
videotapes to remind employees about safety and hazards involved in
forklift operations. _

Hazardous Materiels Training - As previously stated upstion 11, a
25X1 hazardous material training course will be conducted in the
Spring of 1988 by a representative from the Department o De tense. About
30 personnel normally attend this course which includes re-certification
of employees who are continually involved in handling hazardous cargo.
Fire Drills - Evacuation Fire Drills and employee fire safety
awareness are scheduled for early spring and throughout the year
particularly during Fire Prevention Week in October.
Hazardous Materiels Storage - The construction of an environmentally
controlled buildinq or the storage of hazardous materiel in an area near
25X1 the proposed is now complete. Two buildings,with four(4)
bays are ready for occupancy once explosion proof motors are installed
for overhead door operation.
25X1 Painting of Forklifts - forklifts have been painted in house with
safety approved lime/yellow OSHA approved color to have them more readily
visible by employees, and all new forklifts procured hereafter are
painted with the same safety approved color.
Physical Stress - Improved environment with a new dayroom and new
restroom facilities and installation of additional recreational type
equipment during smoke breaks, lunch hours and before working hours
provided much needed changes in these areas. Additional new improved
materiel handling equipment is being acquired and office areas,
including Small Purchase Section and Inventory & Audit Section,
provided better office space because of renovations. Office in the
Transportation Management Branch (TMB)`area were reconfigured to
improve the working environment. Additional offices for TMB were
constructed to house the Support Section, truck dispatcher, and
drivers. Completion of the renovations were accomplished in July
1986. The renovation of the men's and ladies' restrooms near front
door #50 was completed on or about 10 October 1986.
New Exercise Equipment - In the interest of promoting physical
fitness selected exercise equipment was procured during calendar year
25X1 1987 in coordination with Medical Technician and the physical
therapist assi ned to the Office of Medical Services. The therapist
25X1 visited on several occasions to demonstrate the new equipment and

Safety Committee - A safety committee consisting of several
personnel is established for improving overall safety The
Group meets quarterly, and membership is rotated on an annual basis.
Machinery Requiring Maintenance - A preventative maintenance program
is well established by Maintenance Mechanic to preclude
excessive wear and breakdowns of equipment. Whenever new equipment
is received the manufacturer is contacted as necessary to
familiarize maintenance personnel with the care, operation and repair
of the equipment. This is accomplished either in house or out of
house.

Response to Question 45
45. What changes in your safety and health program have been proposed,
approved, and implemented as a result of your self-evaluations?
Indicate the status of each. (Attach additional pages as
necessary.)
Management consistently initiates a local statement
concerning the many phases of safety Safety now has
become a specific part of each agenda for management meetings. Safety
is a specific requirement in Performance Appraisal Reports. All levels
of supervisors are or will be trained (in the near future) in safety
management to include planned inspections, accident investigation,
skill training, job instruction and conduct of group meetings.
Management has requested that more time be allocated by the Safety
Officer to safety related activities.
Foremen and supervisors are being trained to have specific
standards established to instill involvement in accident
investigations, planned inspections and safety communications. Plans
are being formulated for all new employees with new assignments, to
include supervisors, to receive formal job orientation that includes
safety, i.e., job and craft rules, accident reporting, protective
equipment and safety responsibilities. A prepared plan and check list
will be used to insure that the critical information is disseminated.
Inspections and planned tours are conducted on a weekly basis.
Emphasis is placed on identifying the basic causes for deficiencies
found. This gives top management high visibility to all employees and
enables employees to become aware of what priority should be placed on
safety. An accelerated preventative maintenance program has been
implemented to reduce breakdowns and failures of equipment.
A current analysis of protective equipment needs for all employees
was made. Closer coordination with more clearly defined
resnonsihi1ities for safety will be paramount pertinent to all tenants
Over the road vehicle operators and forktruck lift operators
through refresher courses will be instructed in operator's inspection
and minor maintenance to ease the workload of mechanics.
to insure that safety standards will be honored.
The abatement program, as a result of the early 1984 safety
inspection by DDA/Safety Staff, is 100% completed.
