The last ERT meeting was on March
7th and Bob E. will hope to hold a meeting by the
end of the year with HAZWOPER training to follow
shortly. |
| 2. |
Cindy R. is not present to report
on the lab safety audits however, she has been
keeping Geoff B. updated on those that are tardy
and if needed, the unit supervisors are given notice.
Mike I. proposes completing the audits earlier
in the month to avoid being late. Corrective actions
taken should be noted in each audit. Supervisors
should review the audits to make sure all answers
are complete. Bob will request each unit committee
representative review the audits with the supervisor
to see if more or less needs to be added. |
| 3. |
The next lab audit will be scheduled,
and Dawn C. will be invited. |
| 4. |
Ken B. is not present to report
on any PWD injuries. Dawn C. reported that Risk
Management is now involved with classifying injuries
differently. Through the use of Philly Stat the
departments will be charged back for injuries that
occur. Commissioners will have to explain to the
managing director why certain injury reductions
have not been achieved. A schedule is present on
the phila.gov website on when the televised hearings
can be viewed on the public channel. Additional
COPA2 training will be given by Risk Management
to supervisors and managers. |

Xavier M. was to have reported on the safety
audits conducted at the Water Treatment Plant laboratories,
this topic will be set aside till the next meeting. |
| 6. |
Room 153 issues remain unresolved as noted in
the 10/1/2008 safety minutes; Bob E. will contact
Kathy B. A waste cabinet inventory has been posted
and new shelves have been placed into the cabinets.
Correct parcel identification will be monitored
by Joe S. Updated logs of new chemical inventories
may not be practical. Gas powered equipment is
still stored in the room. |
| 7. |
Bob E. reminded the committee that employees
running sample transport should be using carts
with recessed pans. Bob E. will send out an email
to remind supervisors of this suggestion. |
| 8. |
Organics Lab doors leading to the service corridor
210 will not be reconfigured. The doors open inward
to exit the room to the corridor and then from
the corridor to the main hallway, it opens outward. |

Bob E. restated from the last meeting that, “mandated
Safety committee training was completed for nearly
everyone present in the room except Joe S., Cindy
R. and Jack G. All members present at the December
2008 meeting will be required to serve for a full
year on the committee. A designated backup will
also be chosen for each unit.” The commitment
will start with the March 2009 meeting. |

Brian S. reported the motorized gate project
is still in review as the 60% plans were just delivered
last week. Linda O. promised she would remind us
of this at each opportunity possible. |
| 2. |
Brian S. reported that a new citywide purchase
order has given us the ability to order an expanded
range of supplies from the medical supply vendor.
New antibiotic ointment has been placed in many
first aid kits. Any ideas on medical supplies to
stock may be gleaned from the website of Henry
Schein at, www.henryschein.com/us-en/medical/Default.aspx?did=medical,
and may be passed on to Brian S. |
| 3. |
Joe S. brought up an expansion of a process in
the Organics lab that would require further safety
investigation. More LC work will occur and certain
safety equipment needs to be purchased. There is
a remaining issue of how to obtain Solvex gloves.
Joe S. will forward the site plan to Bob E. |
