October 1985.
Fumes & Vapors - Twenty-four exhaust ceiling fans are located
strategically throughout to protect employees'
health. Six additional fans are installed in overhead door
openings in the summertime.
Dust Problems - GSA employs two machines, an electric sweeper
and electric scrubber, to reduce the amount of dust in the

ut the industrial community. The machines have been
used daily; however, the machines are very old and have been in

has been discussing this problem with General Services
Administration (GSA) in an attempt to have the machines
replaced If GSA cannot replace the machines by January 1986,
will reprogram funds and procure new machines through
Agency logistics channels.
Excessive Heat or Cold
Excessive Heat - GSA established a task force to resolve
excessive heat problems in the industrial area during the summer
months. The overhead ventilating fans were repaired and
serviced and were 95% operational. The five percent
nonoperational fan equipment was attributed to replacement
repair parts being on order through GSA procurement channels.
The roof was repainted with additional aluminum reflective paint
which reduced the temperature about ten percent. Some relief
from the hot sun was noticed as a result of this exercise.

condition. Permission was received from GSA to again raise the
temperatures in the industrial work area. Rubber traffic doors
are installed at the loading docks in the Transportation
Management Branch (TMB). Blower-heating curtains are installed
at the TMB and Receiving Section (RS) dock overhead doors to
keep out cold air. 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.
Roof Leaks - The roof leaks 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 and the
remaining 200,000 sq. ft. which requires less extensive repairs
wily be repaired in calendar year 1986. Sporadic leaks are
repaired by GSA on an ad hoc basis as required.
Radiation - In the past has not dealt with any
major radiation problems as most of our shipments involving
radiation hazards are minimal and are properly packaged upon
arrival prior to receipt at
Safety Shoes - All personnel are now issued
two 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 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 and
monthly inspections are conducted on all shop tools and
STAT equipment. fire extinguishers are inspected semi-annually.

All supervisors are made aware of the need for good
housekeeping and safety practices, and in turn, pass on their
experience along to employees. The most current safety meeting
was held in August 1985.

Training - Scheduled and/or Recommended
Safety Responsibility -The National Safety Council says that the
primary responsibility for safety lies with the supervisor;
subsequently, is planning an updated supervisor's training
course in CYluel.

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 - Eight forklift training courses were held at
for new employees. At least eight will be held in
CY-1986. Refresher training will be held periodically through the
use of films and videotapes to remind employees about safety and
hazards involved in forklift operation.
STAT Fire Brigade Training - Fire Brigade Training (basic fire
fighting) protective clothing, and self-contained breathing
STAT apparatus) classes were held both at and on the fire
STAT training grounds Fire ground operations are planned
again in Spring 1986.
Hazgrdous Materiels Training - As previously stated in question
11 above a hazardous materiel training course will be conducted at
STAT in the Spring of 1986 by a representative from the
par men of Defense. About 35 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 - An Architectural and Engineering
(A&E) has been completed for the construction of an environmentally
controlled building for the storage of hazardous materiel in an area
STAT near the proposed The construction of the hazardous
STAT area will be commensurate with the expected to be
completed in January 1987.

Repaving Project - Complete repaving of outside areas of the
was completed in the spring of 1985. Improvement has been
realized in the entire outside area from potholes and gravel
accumulation. This project is now complete.
Physical Stress - Improved environment with a new dayroom and
new rest room facilities and installation of additional recreational
equipment during smoke breaks, lunch hours and before working hours
has provided much needed changes in these areas. Additional new
improved materiel handling equipment was acquired, and office areas,
including Small Purchases Section and Inventory and Audit Staff

constructed to house the Support Section, truck dispatcher, and
drivers with renovations to be completed in November 1985.
New Exercise Equipment - In the interest of promoting physical
fitness, selected exercise equipment was procured during calendar
STAT year 1985 in coordination with Medical Technician and the
physical therapist assianed to the Office of Medical Services. The
STAT therapist visited on several occasions to demonstrate the
STAT new equipment and to brief personnel on sound physical fitness
programs.
Safety Committee - A safety committee consisting of several
.STAT mployees was established several years ago for improving the
STAT overall safety . The group meets quarterly and

membership is rotated on an annual basis.
Maintenance of Machinery and Vehicles - A preventative
maintenance program is well established by Maintenance
Staff to preclude excessive wear and breakdowns of equipment.
Whenever new equipment is received the manufacturer is
contacted as necessary to pay a visit for the purpose
of familiarizing maintenance personnel in the operation and repair
of the equipment or employees have visited vendor's installations to
become more familiar with the equipment.
Lighting - Areas were surveyed for the purpose of
improving the lighting in Storage & Issue Section, Classification,
Repair & Disposal Section, Packing & Crating Section and
Transportation Management Branch. Funds in the amount of $43,000
has been transferred to GSA to initiate a program for improvement of
the lighting where necessary. In addition to the areas inside the
the outside compound was surveyed, and GSA installed sodium
vapor lighting which has improved nighttime lighting about 60%.
Electrical Improvements - All standard type electrical cords in
STAT were replaced with extension cords equipped with circuit
breakers. Our leaking PCB transformer has been repaired and is now
in good condition. The leak did not affect employees as the leak
was detected early, and prompt action was taken by GSA to prevent
serious damage and to eliminate a safety hazard.
STAT
Handling of Explosives or Flammable Substances - All
supervisors have been notified of their responsibility for storage
of incoming and stock flammables. Special sheds are available to
hold these items while awaiting transshipment. A video tape has
been received on hazardous chemicals to be shown periodically to all
concerned employees.

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, Acident 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.
