145 CHAPTER Ill, SECTIONS 4 and 5 Throughout the period of the Operation, the general health of all personnel was good and compared favorably with normal standards. There was one outbreak of clinically-sure cases of staphlococcus food poisoning, which involved approximately 25 men. This was traceable to one beef roast which was used in making sandwiches for box lunches. There were no other incidents of unusual occupational or epidemic illnesses, nor any unusual frequency of ordinary illnesses usually encountered. RECREATION. Provision for recreation was generally a coordinated program under a Recreation Director and his assistants. Facilities and activities varied with the size of each camp, but, in general, the objective was to provide outlets for leisure time. The programs provided for movies; church services; organized shell hunting and fishing; horseshoe pitching; tournaments in chess, bil- liards and card games; softball, basketball and volleyball leagues; bingo games; rebroadcasts of sport events; day room and libraries with newspapers and magazines; a mimeographed newspaper; hobby shop; small golf course; gym- nasium; and carnivals or other special events for holidays. The Recreation Department assist- ed personnel in flower ordering, EFM messages, the exchange of Christmas presents between home and the Jobsite, and in arranging for club meetings or special educational classes.

A continuous safety program was maintain- ed to guard the health User groups for whom support responsibility; through the elimination of employees and those Holmes & Narver had to prevent accidents or control of conditions capable of causing personnel injuries, occupational diseases; and to prevent fires or damage to equipment, property and material. With the activation of the Administration Division at the Jobsite on 16 November, the Safety Department was integrated into this unit with little effect on planning and opera- tions. Safety operations, encompassing two atolls and eight separate camp sites were under the supervision of a Safety Engineer with an Assistant Safety Engineer for each atoll. Contact was maintained by means of weekly activity reports, correspondence and, in cases of urgency, by radio-telephone. Periodic exchange visits were made between atolls by the Assistant Safety Engineers and these visits were so regulated that a Safety Engineer was always present at each atoll. The basic safety program conformed with outlines set forth in the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Manual and with supplemental directives or bulletins received from ALOO. A Jobsite booklet was issued containing established rules for on and off-the-job safety, radio- logical safety, instructions for fire prevention and protection, information on the application of artificial respiration, and a chart indicating the pressure points to be used in the event of injury causing severe bleeding. All newly-arrived employees received a copy of this booklet Page 3-19
