I. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION
-
1. Inspection of District Field
Offices: Team Safety conducted its
annual inspection of work locations in Carmel Valley.
Carmel Valley
Field Office: The office was in order, with
aisles clear, and all inspection categories satisfactory. Fire extinguishers were charged and
inspected. First aid supplies were in
place. Housekeeping issues that have
been reported in the past have been remedied.
Carmel
Valley Shop: The repeated instances
of housekeeping problems that have been reported in past years for the shop
were not in evidence. The floors were
clean and clear of debris, such as sawdust and wood chips. Storage shelves have
been built and are being used for equipment that formerly was blocking easy
access to the room or quick egress from the shop out through the door. The large dredge has been stored on its
side, freeing up a large amount of space for other items. The extinguisher was charged and
inspected. An exit sign had been placed
over the door. First aid and emergency supplies were in place. The only item
noted was the need for a battery for the emergency flashlight.
Sleepy
Hollow Fish Rearing Facility: Everything
in the main office building was in order with no equipment and boots cluttering
the floor as was the case last year.
The storage shed had been cleaned and cleared of unused materials,
allowing for safe and easy access. The
new fire hose is attached, with a nozzle, and ready to be used in case of
emergency. The deck, tank areas, and
rearing channel provide clear work spaces. The pump gallery was inspected in
May during Confined Spaces Training exercises.
The
consensus of Team Safety is that this was an excellent inspection, and the best
they have seen to date of the District’s field locations.
