ELECTRICAL HAZARDS - PORTABLE HOT PLATES\nThe use of portable electric hot plates in locations\nnot suited for their safe operation and where provision has\nnot been made for their attachment to convenience outlets\nequipped with signal lights, presents an electric shock and\nfire hazard. Portable electric hot plates are used in\nmany of the offices and rest rooms of the White House.\nThese appliances are the personal property of the employees\nand include equipment which does not bear Underwriter's\nApproval. This later point is significant because the\nsafety of appliances, not SO tested and approved is ques-\ntionable.\nThe use of portable electric hot plates, except where\nspecific provision has been made for their safe use and\noperation, should be prohibited. Only equipment which\nbears Underwriter's Approval should be used.\nThe following is a list, by location, of portable\nelectric hot plates now being used under unsafe conditions:\nA. EXECUTIVE MANSION\n(1) Ground Floor\n(a) Ushers Room. - One hot plate.\nB. MAINTENANCE SHOPS (Under North Portico)\n(1) Paint Shop. - One hot plate.\nC.
