At our last meeting we discussed some confusion about the amount of training required upon return to work from an accident. Currently, the procedure “suggests” 15 minutes of safety training upon returning to work and additional 30 minutes of training due during the quarter following the accident.
After discussion, the committee decided to change the procedure to require 30 minutes of safety training relating to the accident upon return to work. This training does not satisfy the regular quarterly safety training requirement. Denise will make the necessary changes to the intranet training instructions.
At our last meeting, we discussed the time credit allowing for Safety Powerpoint presentations on the intranet. Due to the limited content of the presentations, a maximum of five minutes had been allowed for each presentation.
Since then, there have been many questions from staff about the time limit and, after further review by the committee, the decision was made to remove the limit for training time on powerpoint presentations.
Denise will update the safety training library page to indicate “actual time” on the duration of each topic. She will also send e-mail notification to all staff about the change effective July 1, 2010.
Candace, Stacy Schrank, and Kelley Hoffman attended a Spring Wellness Conference in April. The conference was presented by the Oklahoma City-County Health Department and provided tools and ideas for starting a wellness program and becoming a Certified Healthy Business. We will meet in July with a wellness management company that can help us design and administer a wellness program for the library system.
We have two new members who have agreed to serve on the committee for one year. Welcome to Jamar Rahming and Phil Tolbert.
Everyone received a copy of the last meeting minutes to review. Annual updates have been completed for the Safety Manual and MSDS books for all libraries and departments.
We discussed the idea of starting a wellness program for the library system. There are a number of resources available at little or no cost that could be used in our organization. Candace, Stacy Schrank and Kelley Hoffman will attend a Spring Wellness Conference sponsored by the Oklahoma City-County Health Department.
