Safety Committee Minutes 

Date: January 9, 2007 

Attending:  Kay Bauman, Ric Rea, Patrick Williams, Fariba Williams, Candace McDaniel 

Absent:  Janet Brooks 

Agenda: 

• Review charge of the committee 
• Vacant Volunteer Position 
• Emergency Operation Plan/Quick Reference Guide 
• Quarterly Safety Training 
• MSDS 

Discussion: 

1. It was decided to set a regular meeting date/time for the Safety Committee.  The committee will meet monthly on the second Tuesday at 10:00AM. 
2. The third volunteer committee position remains open.  It was suggested that we approach Denyvetta Davis for a recommendation.   
3. The Emergency Operation Procedures and Quick Reference Guide were discussed briefly.   A written evacuation procedure will be added as a separate tab on the quick reference guide and will customized to fit the needs for each library location. Since the committee has not looked at these documents for some time, it was decided to move this to the agenda for the next meeting.    
4. Quarterly Safety Training was discussed.   The committee would like to offer at least one training class per quarter to enhance the existing training library of videos.  Each location has someone in charge of safety training.   The committee will survey each library to determine topics of interest/need and then begin a search for trainers.   
5. Patrick discussed the current MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) process.   There is a need to update our process for distribution of information and update the MSDS manual to include information on all products used and stored in each location.  It was suggested that we make this information available on the Intranet.  Patrick will bring a copy of the existing manual for further review at the next meeting. 

Meeting was adjourned at 11:30AM.  Next meeting – February 13, 2007 at 10:00AM
