General Comments:
In general both safety communication and housekeeping were very good with only a few exceptions. Positive feedback was received concerning the performance of the Office Safety Committee as well as the response of Area Wardens to emergency situations. We were impressed with the comprehensive safety program conducted within the Accounting Dept. Poor audio quality of plectrons located in the Office Annex was a general complaint. Safety communications via the safety log book, as well as housekeeping, should be improved in the stores and warehouse areas.

- Office annex in general appears to be ready for a face lif t.
- Complaints received from several secretaries concerning night shift porters eating in the office areas and leaving a mess-should be addressed.
- The necessity of storing massive amounts of computer paper in some P.T. offices should be reviewed.
- Work order for mounting fire extinguishers on second floor walls should be followed up on.
- Several file drawers were found open and unattended in the engineering section.
Personnel Training
Video Conference Room and Tape Room had loose electrical wires strewn about the floor. No fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires could be found in the immediate area. This equipment should be better protected.
Stores
Broken glass on outside Ifedge under second floor window. File box obstructing third floor aisle. Bolts and loose items strewn about loading dock are slip/fall hazard. Two defective step ladders found inside gasket rack on mezzanine. Defective ladders must be labeled as such and either sent out for repair or disposed of. Gasket mezzanine very dirty but neatly stocked. Safety log book is poorly attended. Safety meetings are not held on a regular basis. Metal plate used to bridge between dock and cylinder truck needs to have bracket added to keep it in place. Some confusion over when to report to the instruction point. This problem should be covered in next safety meeting.
Warehouses
Safety Log book poorly attended.
Warehouse A - utility hose not pinned - out of date inspection tape - needs general pick up
Warehouses B & C - rusty NaOH drums N/W corner should be covered to prevent further deterioration - general clean up
Warehouses E, F & G - broken bags of raw material - steel strapping bands on floor - warehouse F has damaged fiber drums full of material stacked precariously - needs attention of supervision.

Zone I Offices
Very clean and orderly. Personal knowledge of safety practices was very good. Telephone/communications junction box in utility room was missing a protective cover over the wires.
Zone II Office
Light housekeeping needed around Coke machine. Boxes of stationery stored there should be removed. Recommend that Exit sighs be placed in the NE, NW, SE and SW corners of the building. Otherwise - excellent.
