The maintenance department continued to hold weekly safety meetings. Topics included lockout tagout, indoor crane safety, trenching and shoring, backhoe safety, traffic control, bloodborne disease prevention, electrical safety, construction site safety and confined space entry. Topics for monthly administration department safety meetings included good housekeeping practices, slips, trips and falls, bloodborne disease prevention and public building safety.

5. Training:

Maintenance department staff attended an 8-hour confined space entry training course provided by ACWA/JPIA, which satisfies the annual training requirement. The committee reviewed the schedule for training courses and identified trench safety, traffic control, respirator fit testing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillation) training as the highest priority training needs. Mike agreed to setup CPR/AED training by fire prevention captain David Jones for the administration and maintenance departments. David Drewien agreed to setup trench safety and traffic control training courses for maintenance department.
