MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
Februar 15, 2011 5.1
SUBJECT:
Review 2010 Annual Safety Re ort
BACKGROUND:
Minnesota Rules Chapter 7826 Public Utilities Commission Electric Utility Standards cover safety,
reliability, service, and reporting requirements. Per 7826.0100(A), municipal utilities are exempt from
these requirements. However, the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission adopted a number of parts
of this chapter as a Distribution Reliability Standard policy. This policy includes an Annual Safety
Report requirement. The policy requires ERMU to "file an annual safety performance report with its
local governing body. The report will include summaries of all reports files with OSAH and the
Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry during the
calendaz yeaz."
DISCUSSION:
In 2010, ERMU only submitted one report that qualifies under this reporting requirement. Attached is
the OSHA form 300A that had been filed. It is a summary of work related first report of injuries and
illnesses. In 2010 there were 3 cases that resulted in days away from work. From these 3 cases there
were a total of 16 days of work missed. There were also 10 other cases that were reportable which did not
involve days away from work. Job related restrictions were involved for a total of 37 days.
The Utilities participates on the City's Safety Committee. This Committee anonymously analyzes first
report of injury cases to determine whether changes can be made to prevent reoccurrences and proactively
address safety concerns. The Utilities also contracts with Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association
(MMUA) for our safety program and training. Through this Committee, through the MMUA Safety
Program, and through Utilities Staff discussion, safety oriented improvements are often made. Over the
past year there were changes in procedure, equipment, and personal protective equipment made.
