I. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION

A. OLD BUSINESS

1. Final drafts of the updated IIPP: Cynthia distributed revised copies of the District’s Illness and Injury Prevention Program to team members prior to the meeting. They responded with a variety of minor edits to the text. A new “Message from the General Manager” which expands on the District’s official safety policy statement at the beginning of the IIPP will be added, based upon the recommendation of the SDRMA auditor, Jim Emerson. The entire revised document will be handed out to staff as a replacement for the current IIPP. Cynthia will conduct a safety training reviewing the new IIPP at one of the next Staff Meetings.

2. Fire Safety: As a follow-up to Team Safety’s discussion of the use of the 5 Harris Court Office for Board Meetings, Cynthia reported on her meeting with a member of the Monterey Fire Department to discuss safety standards. The maximum occupancy for the Conference Room, based upon room dimensions, is 49 people. This needs to be posted in the room and enforced. Space needs to be left by the outside door for wheelchair seating. Additional seating can be allowed in the Lobby area, as long as an approximately 4-foot wide corridor is left by the front doors for emergency exit. The doors themselves do not have to be altered since they have push bars for easy opening. They would not be locked during a public meeting. Signage regarding restricted access to the second floor and staff areas beyond the restrooms will be posted as well. If the District were to construct a raised podium in the Conference Room for Board member seating, it would have to be constructed with a ramp for wheelchair accessibility.

3. Garage Door Safety: In response to a safety suggestion, the “Stop” button on the overhead garage door is now working. Additionally, sensors have been added to stop the door closing if an object is in its path.

4. Ergonomics Training: The monthly “tailgate” training for September was on Ergonomics. Staff participated in demonstrating the proper way to work with tools and properly perform lifting, as well as describing work station changes that have relieved symptoms of “musculoskelletal” disorders.

B. NEW BUSINESS

1. Earthquake Safety Modifications: The District has begun securing District bookcases and file cabinets to prevent injury during an earthquake. In response to an internet article circulated among staff, regarding a “triangle of life” next to large objects, Cynthia will check with the County Office of Emergency Planning to see if alternatives to the “Duck and Cover” earthquake safety principles should be considered and added to the new IIPP.
