The county received a Department of Labor inspection report with no write‑ups and praise for a strong safety culture; the inspector recommended the county apply for the SHAPE award. The report cites partnerships with providers such as KWORK and KPN.
Speaker 3 presented the Department of Labor inspection letter, reporting no write‑ups and noting that the inspector praised the county’s safety culture. “Grama County has cultivated a strong ongoing culture of safety,” Speaker 3 read from the inspector, and recommended the county apply for the SHAPE award in recognition of its workplace safety efforts.
The reading included reference to partnerships with workers’ compensation providers named KWORK and KPN and said the inspector visited every county building, including landfills. Speaker 3 emphasized that the recommendation was a county‑wide recognition of training and safety efforts.
Commissioners were asked to acknowledge the report and sign forms where appropriate. No formal action to apply for the SHAPE award was recorded in the transcript; the inspector’s recommendation was presented as an advisory finding.
Next steps: commissioners were asked to review the inspection documents and consider whether the county should pursue the SHAPE award application.
