Elk River -=~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />March 4, 2010 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Daryl Thompson <br />From: Troy Adams <br />Subject: Review 2009 Annual Safety Report <br />Phone; 763,441,2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />Minnesota Rules Chapter 7826 Public Utilities Commission Electric Utility Standards cover <br />safety, reliability, service, and reporting requirements. Per 7826.0100(A), municipal utilities are <br />exempt from these requirements. However, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />adopted a number of parts of this chapter as a Distribution Reliability Standard policy. This <br />policy includes the Annual Reliability Report provided in January. Also included in this policy <br />is an Annual Safety Report requirement. The policy requires ERMU to "file an annual safety <br />performance report with its local governing body. The report will include summaries of all <br />reports files with OSAH and the Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Minnesota <br />Department of Labor and Industry during the calendar year." In 2009, ERMU only submitted <br />one report that qualifies under this reporting requirement. Attached is the OSHA form 300A that <br />had been filed. It is a summary of work related first report of injuries and illnesses. <br />
