The start of a good housekeeping program is an analysis of
the facilities, a determination of the adequacy of exist-
ing equipment such as shelves, bins, storage rooms, work-
ing places and the like. Once the facilities have been
established then there should be insistence that the
employees use them. This is one phase of a safety pro-
gram which needs continuous follow-up until the proper
work habits have been developed. "Good Housekeeping"
is in effect "Safe Housekee;ing.'
The following poor housekeeping conditions should
be corrected:
A. EXECUTIVE MANSION
(1) Ground Floor
(a) Stationary Vacuum Cleaner Room. - Pro-
vide necessary racks and shelves for
storing the materials in this area.
Remove material which has no further
value or use.
(2) Second Floor
(a) Pantry. - The butlers now hang their
soiled dish towels, coats, and aprons
on the banister of the spiral stairs
at the pantry landing. They also store
brushes and mops on the landing.
Adequate space should be provided for
the safe storage of this equipment.
A suggested solution is to install a
cabinet in the corner of the pantry
located between the doors of the
Private and State Dining Rooms. The
lower section of this cabinet or closet
could be used to store the soiled table
linen.
(b) Closets in State Dining Room. - Better
housekeeping should be maintained in
the two closets located at the north
side of the fireplace. Cleaning
cloths and other equipment should be
removed from these closets.
(3) Third Floor
(a) Sewing Room (Room No. 46). - The
material now stowed in the area adja-
cent to the expansion tank should be
removed and better housekeeping main-
