BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE bon disulfide, and ethyl ether. Nonferrous tools need inspection before each use to be certain that they have not picked up steel particles, which could pro duce friction sparks Keep up-to-date The maintenance department should not overlook the potentialities of new products, cleaners, lubricants, paints, wood preserva tives, insulation, floor repair materials, pro tective coatings, alloys, and other develop ments It should also keep up with new applications of existing products New prod ucts or applications usually lead to better methods and safer practices Increased mechanization requires careful assessment of new potential hazards, espe cially in high-speed equipment and proc esses Use of color throughout the plant, as specified in Chapter 14 will contribute to accident prevention and help develop high standards of operation. Sometimes mechanical means help to off set potential hazards Centralized lubrica tion, floor cleaning machines, centralized spray painting equipment, steam cleaners, and other devices will help make a mainte nance program safer For frequently per formed maintenance jobs, permanent acces sories, such as hoists, fixed ladders, and catwalks, should be provided Maintenance procedures should be re examined periodically for safer ways to do the job A special suggestion system should be set up for maintenance men so that they will be able to present new ideas or cor rective measures Engineering books and service manuals should be a part of the maintenance pro gram. Workers should be familiar with diem and use them when necessary.
