    "ocrText": "Revised August 1, 1945). Separate accident records as\nfar as is practicable, should be obtained on accidents\noccurring to the public. Such a compilation is useful\nfor preventing the recurrence of similar accidents.\nThe Safety Representative should investigate all re-\nported accidents and initiate corrective action as\nindicated\nB.\nFire Reports. A report should be prepared of all\nfires regardless of size. A suggested form is in-\ncluded in the Appendix. If desired the Navy Depart-\nment's Fire Protection Engineers will make a study\nand analysis of these reports periodically for the\npurpose of determining and suggesting remedial\naction.\nC. Safety Inspections. - It is important that weekly in-\nspections be made of all parts of the White House\nand grounds by the Safety Representative or his\ndelegated representative. These inspections are for\nthe purpose of disclosing and initiating corrective\naction on conditions relating to Fire Protection,\nEnvironmental Safety, Protection of the Public, and\nProperty Conservation. (The Navy Department will\nmake available the services of its Safety and Fire\nProtection Engineers, to train the individuals as-\nsigned this duty.)\nD. Standards or Regulations. - Standards or regulations\nshould be issued covering working conditions and\npractices, including provision and use of personal\nprotective equipment. These standards or regula-\ntions should be distributed to all supervisors,\noffice and maintenance personnel. (The Navy Depart-\nment will make available the services of its Safety\nEngineers to assist in the preparation of these\nstandards or regulations.)\nE. Selection, Placement, Orientation, and Training of\nPersonnel. - The inclusion of safety in the selec-\ntion, placement, orientation, and training of per-\nsonnel should be affected. Personnel should be as-\nsigned only to such jobs as they are physically\nqualified to perform and they should be permitted to\nwork only when they are physically fit. Personnel\non the maintenance staff should be given adequate\nand complete instruction by their supervisors on\nthe safe practices to follow when engaged in a\ngiven task. The use of printed Safety Standards or\nRegulations (refer to recommendation (3D)),\nthoroughly explained to and understood by the per-\nsonnel, will assist in the accomplishment of this\nAND\nC-69090\n2"
