APPENDIX I
ESTABLISHMENT NAMES AND ADDRESSES

AUTHORITY: Not applicable.

POLICY: It is the policy of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to standardize all establishment names and addresses in order to compile an accurate citation history for a particular establishment.

PROCEDURES:

A. IMPORTANCE OF STANDARDIZED ESTABLISHMENT CODING

1. After transmission of data which is entered at the District Office, the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) host computer converts all alphabetical letters entered, regardless of case, to upper case.
2. All compliance personnel and Office Support Staff shall data enter all establishment names and addresses consistently using both upper and lower case letters as follows:

   Rockwell International
   14324 Main St
   Somewhere CA 90250

B. GENERAL DATA ENTRY RULES

1. The establishment name is the legal name of the establishment. For a sole proprietorship or a partnership, enter the trading name of the establishment. For a corporation, enter the name of the corporation, unless a subsidiary of the corporation controls the establishment inspected. In that case, enter the name of the subsidiary.
2. If an employer is doing business under a name other than the legal name of the establishment, both names may be entered, using the "dba" (doing business as) or "aka" (also known as) abbreviation.
   
   Enter the legal name first followed by the dba or aka name as follows:

   Pioneer Steel dba Jackson Steel Works

3. If a complaint (Cal/OSHA Form 7) or accident (Cal/OSHA Form 36) is reported and no establishment name can be given, enter the word "UNKNOWN" in the establishment name on the Forms 7 or 36 to indicate no establishment name.

   NOTE: If a Cal/OSHA Form 1 is subsequently submitted with the "KNOWN" name, you must link the Cal/OSHA Form 1 to the "UNKNOWN" activity number and modify the establishment record.

4. Where an activity pertains to a particular division or section of a company, and the establishment linkage is to be maintained on the whole establishment, put the establishment name first followed by the division.

   St Regis Paper Co Kraft Div
   US Steel Allied Mill

5. Where a subsidiary is inspected and the name of the parent company is to be reflected in the inspection record, but the establishment linkage is to be maintained at the subsidiary level, put the subsidiary level first, followed by the parent name.

   Maxwell House Div of General Foods
