JPL/lnj Attachment QUALITY AND TEAMWORK - A WINNING COMBINATION 009027 CORPUS CHRISTI TECHNICAL CENTER SECTION: SAFETY SUBJECT: CCTC HOUSEKEEPING POLICY ESHA PROCEDURE NO.: SA-10 DATE: 10-12-87 PAGE: 1 OF 1 PURPOSE: Housekeeping and safety go together. Attention to house keeping will improve safety by improving our awareness of our workplace. POLICY: It is the policy at CCTC that work areas be kept in good order and that housekeeping be given on-going attention. All employees are responsible for site housekeeping in general. In keeping with the ownership concept, line management and employees are specifically accountable for housekeeping in the areas for which they are responsible. PROCEDURE: Each employee will insure that his/her work area is kept in good order on a day to day basis. Activities to correct housekeeping deficiencies will be initiated as needed. All supervisors will inspect their areas of responsibility on a regular (at least weekly) basis. Deficiencies found should be noted and corrective action initiated. Where needed, other departments (Maintenance,etc.) will be requested to help with the corrective action. Each department manager will monitor the condition of housekeeping in the manager's area of responsibility. The manager will bring any deficiencies to the attention of the owning supervisor who will be responsible for correction of the problem(s). The Safety and Housekeeping Committee will inspect the workplace and report any findings to the area manager, who will insure that the findings are addressed. For inspection purposes, CCTC is divided into two areas: 1) The Building 130 and High Pressure Laboratories 2) The Pilot Plant and Maintenance Areas. Each area will be inspected by the Safety and Housekeeping Committee on a bimonthly basis. Owning managers will respond in writing to the housekeeping committee chairperson, identifying actions that have been taken to address the reported deficiencies and the completion date of those activities. Each month, members of the Management Safety Committee (MSC) will perform a follow-up tour in areas inspected by the Safety and Housekeeping Committee. Montniy Safety and Housekeeping Report Checklist A.
