1. Appearance, bearing, and smartness of personnel.

2. Cleanliness, sanitation, smartness, and ap-pearance of the ship as a whole.

3. Adequacy and condition of clothing and equipment of personnel.

4. General knowledge of personnel in regard to the ships organization, ships orders, and ad-ministrative procedures.

5. Dissemination of all necessary information among the personnel.

6. Indoctrination of newly reported personnel.

7. General education facilities for individuals.

8. Comfort and conveniences of living spaces, including adequacy of light, heat, ventilation, and freshwater.

9. Economy of resources.

Engineering Department Inspection

The engineering department administrative inspection is primarily the inspection of the engineering department paper work, which includes publications, bills, files, books, records, and logs. Additionally, this inspection includes other items with which the chief and first class must be concerned. Some of these items are the cleanliness and preservation of machinery and engineering spaces; the training of personnel; the assignment of personnel to watches and duties; the proper posting of operating instructions and safety precautions; the adequacy of warning signs and guards; the marking and labeling of lines and valves; and the proper maintenance of operating logs.
