Summary
Susan Thompson presented the county OSHA report showing 19 incidents in February (13 at Board of Education), 39 incidents year-to-date with 32 OSHA-recordable cases; the committee accepted the report without further action.
Susan Thompson presented the committee’s OSHA report, saying there were 19 workplace incidents in February, of which 13 occurred at the Board of Education and six at county general operations (including EMS, fire, 'pause' and the sheriff’s department).
Thompson reported 39 incidents year-to-date with 32 OSHA-recordable cases: six lost-day claims, 21 restricted-day claims and five other recordables. She said reserves for the month totaled $31,539 and year-to-date reserves were $68,470; 10 of the reported claims have closed, six employees remain out of work and 18 are on restricted duty.
Committee members asked no follow-up questions and moved to accept the OSHA report; the chair called for the ayes and the report was accepted.
Thompson and committee members discussed the county’s ability to offer OSHA 10-hour classes in-house, which staff said can be tailored by department and may reduce future on-the-job injury claims.
