4.2
SUBJECT:
2023 Annual Safety Report
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
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 several 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 filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry
during the calendar year." Elk River Municipal Utilities only files OSHA's Form 300A.
DISCUSSION:
In 2023, there were six (6) recordable cases which resulted in 5 days away from work. Attached
is OSHA's Form 300A that has been filed. It is a summary of (recordable) work -related injuries
and illnesses during the year. Also attached is OSHA's Form 300A from 2022 for reference.
ATTACHMENTS:
2023 OSHA Form 300A (Submitted 1/31/2024 and amended 2/6/2024)
2022 OSHA Form 300A (Submitted 1/27/2023)
