NEW BUSINESS: None

Student/staff accidents: There were no staff accidents for the committee to review. Student accidents appear under “old business”.

Old Business:
I continue to monitor student accidents regarding the middle school gym. As you know, we have discussed the need for more crash pads on the walls of the old MS gym., There have not been any accidents reported of students colliding into the wall and sustaining injuries prior to this year. However since the beginning of this school year there have been two incidents reported of students injuring themselves on the non-padded section of wall. Funding has been trimmed for this task in the upcoming budget. We will continue to monitor the situation.

New Business:
I reviewed the annual SH-900 for worker injuries. We had a total of six accidents that met the criteria for being listed. Generally speaking, a recordable accident includes any employees injured on the job who require more than first aid (eg. cut requiring stitches, treatment for concussion, etc.) and those who lose time from work. These six workers missed a total of 71 days. This is not bad considering the total number of people who work for us.
The annual fire inspection has been completed. I noted that this year has been one of the best years for this inspection in that concerns (noted by the inspector) were minimal.
I noted action that we have taken regarding snow loading of roofs. As many of us know, this has been a concern this year. Typically, our roofs are rated for a maximum 45 pounds per square foot capacity for snow loading. We took a typical drift on our high school roof that was about 5 feet deep and cut a one-foot square plug of snow from it and weighted it. It weighed 19 pounds. The weight of snow is deceiving, as much of it is unpacked snow of little weight. We will continue to monitor snow loading as the needs arise.
Lori Sensenbach noted a concern about an issue involving scabies; how they are transmitted and prevention protocols. I shared information I had (seems to be similar to protocols for lice) and I will follow-up for more information.
Lori Sensenbach pointed out a number of areas where sidewalks have heaved due to winter frost. I noted that the only thing we can do is wait until the ground thaws. Usually the sidewalks will settle back to where they were before winter. If not, we will address problems at that time.
A concern was expressed by Frank Gough about science rooms being used for non-science classes. He noted that there are times when experiments are conducted and must be left out. This could present an exposure problem to other non-science classes. Although our regular science teachers are aware of this and implement appropriate safety protocol (to minimize exposures), substitutes may not be as conscientious. He noted that those in the department are aware of this and are currently working to minimize this to the best of their ability. The science teachers are aware that the problem will not exist next year, as the BOCES classrooms will become available to ease this problem. Frank will continue to monitor this issue and notify me as needed.
I will be following-up on the involvement of the safety committee in the upcoming construction project. Commissioner’s regulation 155.4 has some requirements listed. I will cover this information in our next meeting in April.

The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 22^nd @ 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM.
