dures described in thischapter pertain to the manufactur- 
ing and repair functions of aviation activities and are 
applicable to all évels of maintenance. Because of the 
many types of Army aircraft, each shop within the 
manufacturing and repair section must, of necessity, 
have personnel trained in general practices and proce- 
dures to the extent that different type and model aircraft 
do not upset a smooth running shop.

manufacturing section are responsible for a continuin 
and effective shop safety program. To implement an 
maintain this program, shop supervisors will utilize bulle- 
tin boards, Signs, and any other effective method. Shop 
personnel will cooperate in the shop safety program by 
making helpful recommendations, and continually exer- 
cising care and caution in the operation of all shop equip- 
ment. All shop personnel will strive to improve the safety 
program and be especially alert to observe and correct 
hazardous conditions and unsafe shop practices. All ac- 
cidents, no matter how minor, shall be reported to the 
shop supervisor, and all published instructions regarding 
safety shall be strictly adhered to. Also, safety engineers 
and safety officers will ensure that proper safety proce- 
dures are adhered to in accordance with AR 385-10, 
Army Safety Program; AR 385-30, Safety Color Code 
Markings and Signs; AR 385-32, Protective Clothing and

stick by which the shops in the manufacturing section are

leaking oil, grease, and similar materials may cause haz- 
ardous accumulations on equipment or floors. All spills
