The following is a list of unsafe material handling
conditions which should be corrected:
A. EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING
(1) Basement
(a) Storage Room for Cleaning Supplies. -
Tilting barrel racks should be pro- -
vided for the 55 gallon drums of floor
wax, in order to minimize the oppor-
tunity for strains and hernias during
the handling of these barrels.
(b) Compressor Room. - Provide tilting
racks for the 55 gallon oil drums
stored in this area. The use of these
racks will materially assist in the
handling of these drums.
B. MAINTENANCE SHOPS (UNDER NORTH PORTICO)
(1)
Trash House
(a) Provide barrel tilt racks for the 55
gallon floor wax and cleaner barrels.
(b) At the present time broken glass is
frequently thrown in with the general
trash. It would be highly desirable
to provide a separate container for
broken glass SO as to keep it sepa-
rated from the other waste materials,
thereby minimizing the opportunity
for workmen to cut their hands while
handling the trash in connection with
its removal from the Trash House.
45. HOUSEKEEPING
Certain temporary or casual factors are conducive to
accidents. These pertain to housekeeping conditions and
include such items as too much wax on the floor, materials
improperly stored, tools and equipment not returned to
their proper place, and the accumulation of odds and
ends where they may, under certain circumstances, create
unsafe conditions.
Good housekeeping has often been summarized by the
phrase, "A place for everything and everything in its
place. If the "place" has not been provided, the
employee finds adherence to this principle impossible.
