Natural Gas Visiting speaker-Terry Crooker Center Point Energy 5. MN OSHA mock inspection has been completed at the Plant and Shop 6. Accident Investigation was emphasized 7. CDL Presentation from MN DOT (Dick Norberg) 8. Sexual Harassment Awareness & Prevention Training-League of MN Cities 9. An update was distributed on Crisis procedures and dealing with the Media. First, the support and participation from the Utility has been very good. The Utility Departments have been tremendous to work with. This past year has been good for your Utility. As a management staff you were able to visit Shakopee Utilities and hopefully exchanges of ideas will follow. Please continue to require Contractors to follow the OSHA standards as a minimum. Contractor Safety is always a concern. Remember to include Safety as a topic in all Pre- Construction meeting and in Staff meetings. The growth of the community is creating more and more pressure on your Departments. The Electric Department has been and continues to be very Pro active. You have had a very good managerial staff with Glenn and Dave. You have added a tremendous asset in Theresa as Office Manager and the reassignment of Dolores to a HR role will be great. On the addition of Theresa, she has picked up various duties that are required for her position such as the Substance Abuse program, CDL rules and OSHA 300 reporting as fast or faster than anyone I have worked with. Spill Containment information was given in May-Are your programs complete? ---- Required to be prepared by and signed off by a PE. This comment is a question I am asking all locations I travel to: This is a question I want you to pose to yourself. It is a concern that I have noticed in my years of visiting many different locations. Have you as the manager recently walked through your various Departments without a specific reason? "Just to see how things are going! ! ! ! !" To often the busy schedule that you have becomes so overwhelming so that you do not have time to check on your "MVR" (most valuable resource-your staff) This doesn't apply to everyone but if it does----See if you can make an attempt.
