Overall Rating: Very Good <br /> Comments: <br /> First,the support and participation from the Utility has been very good. The <br /> Utility Departments have been tremendous to work with. This past year we have <br /> worked on the Respirator and Hearing Programs. Accident procedures were <br /> evaluated and upgraded. During work site observations the crews have exhibited <br /> an understanding of what is needed with respect to briefing the entire crew, <br /> controlling the work zone and using proper procedures for energized & de- <br /> energized work You will be establishing a Hearing baseline and I have <br /> completed various noise surveys for a variety of equipment. We have developed <br /> Driver Training program (St. Cloud site)that will include all of the staff using the <br /> Utility vehicles. Please continue to require Contractors to follow the OSHA <br /> standards as a minimum. Contractor Safety is always a concern. Remember to <br /> include Safety as a topic in all Pre-Construction meeting and in Staff meetings. <br /> The Electric Department is very Pro active. The mentoring that you have <br /> developed for the Electric Department is a model for all Employers. The growth <br /> of your Water Department was needed due to the amount of work required. The <br /> growth of the community is creating more and more pressure on your <br /> Departments. It is essential that during this growth, Safety be not overlooked. <br /> Glenn Sundeen is tremendous and is a role model for Electric Supervisors. I <br /> appreciate the opportunity to work with you, your Staff and your Safety Program. <br /> We have made progress and need to continue. <br /> Thanks <br /> Dave Berggre <br /> MMUA Regional Safety Coordinator <br /> P.S. <br /> Please see enclosed Reminder. <br /> Remember: SAFETY IS MORE ATTITUDE THAN APTITUDE <br />
