Safety committee reports walk-throughs, proposes separate student-safety committee
Summary
Board members heard an update from the safety committee that Justin Ward led a recent session, that Mark Brown will train another staffer on the fire panel, and that staff plan a safety walk-through by Oct. 3; the board discussed forming a separate student safety group in addition to the OSHA-required employee safety committee.
A board member summarized the Sept. 9 safety meeting, saying "Justin Ward led the meeting" and that Mark Brown recommended training another person on the fire panel because "evidently, no one knows anything about the fire panel except for him." The committee is planning safety walk-throughs and tentatively scheduled the first by Oct. 3.
Staff explained that OSHA requires a safety committee for employees, and that a separate student safety group can be created without the same regulatory requirements. Board members discussed how a student-focused committee might be staffed and whether it should be wholly separate from the employee safety committee; staff said the two can be distinct so long as the OSHA-required committee responsibilities remain fulfilled.
