Debate over face shield and PPE policy; committee recommends training and equipment changes
Members debated adding a face shield for mastic/rubber operations (Chris Burg opposed) and recommended a dipstick alternative; the committee also asked staff to research WisDOT Class 3 PPE requirements and to order shorter lift straps and nylon slings.

The item will be added to the safety-day refresher agenda.
