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- C-69090 53
