Maintenance

Lori reported safety training compliance is good shape for the quarter.

We have had four Worker’s Comp injuries reported since our August meeting. Two employees are still off work and two have returned with light duty.
We discussed the question about the amount of time (30 minutes) required for safety training.

Although OSHA and PEOSH require every employee to complete safety training quarterly, there is not a specified time limit. The half hour time was suggested by the Oklahoma Department of Labor and was adopted by the Library as our policy.

We have had only one reportable worker’s comp injury during this quarter. Due to our low injury rate, our worker’s comp insurance rate has reduced from 1.21 to .97 effective in October.

Jana reported that the Capitol Hill building is in need of many repairs. Maintenance is working to resolve some of the issues.

During the last six months, Patrick has been reviewing cleaning procedures to meet LEED specifications. Currently, we are testing products that can be incorporated at all locations and standardized for the system.
