May 19, 1977. 14 pp. Report to Rep. Timothy E. Wirth; by Robert F. Keller, Acting Comptroller General. Issue Area: Facilities and Material Management: Operation and Maintenance of Facilities (708). Contact: Logistics and Communications Div. Budget Function: General Government: General Property and Records Management (804). Organization Concerned: General Services Administration. Congressional Relevance: Rep. Timothy E. Wirth. Tenant agencies in ths Denver Federal Center have dar. erous housekeeping practices, and half of the space in the Center does rot hive sprinkler systems. Findings/Conclusions: The .egional Administrator sdid that the tenant agency personnel were aot interested in f-.e-safety courses and that funding for sprinklers had been bard to obtain. The headquarters officials sail that the r3gion has the authority to enforce fire-safety regulations, and should report violators to tenant agency heads who are responsible for taking disciplinar-t action. Furthermore, regional administrators must decide how much to spend on sprinklers and coordinate such work with other building repairs. The four officers of the Federal Protective Sirvice protecting the Center seem to ccmpare favorably with the local community's for-e. Recommendations: To improve fire protection at the Center, the Administrator of General Services should follow up to determine whether the Regional Admiistrator: (1) obtains the cooperation of tenant agency heads in requiring fire-safety training for tenant personnel responsible for handling flammable materials and complying with fire regulations and in issuing warnings to any of their personnel responsible for fire-safety violations; (2) recommends to tenant agency heads suspension or other appropriate action against repeat offenders; and (3) increases the number of fire-department inspections in high-hazard areas and in buildings without fire-protection systems until the General Services Administration has such systems installed.
