The fire extinguishers located in the shutter storage area, 2nd Floor, known as the T.N.A. Section, should be remounted. These extinguishers are too high, and are blocked, and need a red panel or other approved means of identification. In the T.N.A. Section the door leading to che office area should be unlocked, as it is required that there be two exits from this area. Additionally, "Exit" signs should be placed over the doors. On the 1st Floor, small roofing line, the floor opening to the basement should have the reir.stallation of top rail and middle rails, at the front, opening. The old wood ladder located in the boiler room should be removed and destroyed- as it appears to be in unsafe and unrepairable condition. The broken step ladder located in the boiler room should be repaired, as it has a broken step and the metal side lock is missing. The extension ladder hung on the wall outside the boiler room should be replaced, as it has cracked side rails and broken rungs. It is further suggested that a good coating material be applied to all ladders, to prevent drying and cracking. Although paint is allowed, by OSHA regulations, it is suggested that a clear coating material, such as polyurethane be applied. 7 73^3 The broken bottom step of the step ladder, located outside the repair area of the Asbestos Department, should be repaired. Stronger supervisory control should be excercised over the use of respira tors, in the Asbestos Areas. We understand that it is company policy that these respirators be worn here, and it was noted that only approximately^ 25% of the employees in this area were actually wearing them. itirk kirk MICH08708
