The 2nd Quarter Competitive Safety and Housekeeping Inspection for the Shops Area was conducted on 6/12/84 by the inspection team of Tom Ryan, Casey Yauger, Charlie Loney and Bob Hammann.
The Machinists won the best craft award. Inspectors were particularly impressed with the safety awareness and attitude of these people.
Other ratings are as follows:
Boilermakers - Outstanding
Carpenters -Outstanding
Insulators -Outstanding
(. Instrument - Good
Pipefitters - Good
Painters
- Satisfactory
Electricians - Satisfactory
Operating Engineers - Satisfactory
General comments:
* Safety attitude and awareness were generally at a high level throughout the entire Shop area. Personnel were not only interested in maintaining good work areas and conditions, but improving them.
* The safety display boards located throughout the Shops area are well done, eye-catching and have involved people throughout the crafts.
* Lunch boxes were still scattered throughout the work area and not placed in cabinets provided (repeat from last two inspections).
* Although it was a quiet day noise-wise in the Main Shop while the inspection was in progress, there is still concern that hearing protection is not being worn at all times when needed. Individuals must be conditioned to use hearing protection like other safety equipment and immediately don hearing protection
when noise in the Shop increases.
* It is recommended that safety shower and eyebath installations be checked in all Shop areas. In those cases where a manual block valve exists, the valve should be car sealed open to prevent inadvertent blocking of the safety shower or eyebath, rendering it inoperable in times of emergency.

* Need to check mats placed throughout the Shop area. Some are in poor condition and constitute a tripping hazard.
* Although tail hoses on pneumatic tools were not tagged, it is the feeling of this committee that tagging is unnecessary as the hoses are checked each time the equipment is returned to Stores. Visual inspections should be conducted by the individual prior to using the equipment.
* Need to review Procedure Bulletins to ensure latest copies are available. (Latest table of contents attached.)
