Carbon County safety committee outlines January 2026 Safe Driving program and reports two employee incidents
Summary
At its July 10 meeting the Carbon County Safety Committee approved minutes from April 2025 and heard HR Director Kate Asbury announce a Safe Driving Program launching in January 2026 and the imminent arrival of a new safety manager. Committee members also reviewed two incident reports and discussed BLS/ACLS training.
HR Director Kate Asbury told the Carbon County Commissioners and Safety Committee on July 10 that the county’s Safe Driving Program is scheduled to launch in January 2026 and that Safety Manager Troy Meyer is set to arrive on Friday the 18th for orientation and initial safety check-in. Asbury noted two recent incident reports—a vehicle mishap and a fall in the county building—and said building inspections are in progress.
The committee approved its April 2025 meeting minutes on a motion from Commissioner Bill Bullock, seconded by Commissioner Scott Miller. No vote was required for the Safe Driving Program announcement or the safety manager’s arrival; both were described as administrative updates. Asbury said the Safe Driving Program is intended to improve employee driving safety but did not provide funding figures or a detailed curriculum at the meeting.
Public Health Director Erin Cross briefed the committee on clinical-training opportunities and said Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) will be offering test-out options; she said other departments could be included in those sessions. Committee members discussed training needs for county employees and requested continued follow-up on inspection results and training schedules.
The committee recorded two incident reports—one involving a county vehicle and one involving a fall inside the county building—and directed staff to continue building inspections and to report back with any recommended corrective actions. No disciplinary or personnel actions are recorded in the minutes excerpt provided.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include the Safe Driving Program launch in January 2026 and the Safety Manager’s arrival for onboarding. The minutes do not specify exact dates for follow-up reports or the detailed scope of the training that will be offered.
