MINUTES <br />SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING <br />TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 2012 <br />9:00 A.M. <br />Those present: Bill Dircks, Jim Morelan, Derek Anderson, Joe Steele, and Kathy Glanzer. <br />Committee members reported that the May 24th safety training at Falcon Heights on PPE, <br />Hearing, Confined Space, and Hot Work went well, as did the Seasonal Training that was held at <br />Little Canada. The next training will be July 26th at Little Canada and will cover Trenching, <br />Earthmoving Equipment, and Summer Injuries. <br />Jim and Bill indicated they will inspect the City's various first aid kits to ensure they have the <br />minimum supplies necessary. Kathy reported that accessory kits for the City's AEDs have been <br />installed. She also reported that the reason AED pads need replacement every two years is that <br />the gel in the pads begins to breakdown and dry. When that happens the pads are not able to <br />conduct the electrical power needed to shock. <br />The Committee reviewed the one open item relative to SafeAssure's Simulated OSHA <br />Inspection. Bill indicated that electrical circuits at the City Center need labeling. This will <br />require testing to be done after hours. This is likely a fall /winter project, so may not be <br />completed until then. <br />The committee discussed SafeAssure's suggestion that there be a LOTO procedure in place for <br />each piece of equipment. Chad Peterson of SafeAssure sent out templates for the City's use. <br />These templates will be reviewed, and this matter discussed at the next committee meeting. <br />Jim reported that the tables at the City Center and some at the Parks Maintenance Garage are in <br />need of replacement due to wear as well as the fact that they are very heavy and not easily <br />maneuvered. It was the consensus of the Safety Committee that these tables should be replaced <br />with lighter and more durable tables. The lighter tables will be a safety improvement given the <br />decreased potential for injuries in setting up and taking tables down. <br />The next meeting of the Safety Committee will be held on Tuesday, August 28th, at 10:00 a.m. <br />
