Joint Loss Management Committee
On February 15th, the Joint Loss Management Committee (JLMC) held their first meeting of 2024 to discuss the status of goals set at the previous meeting and to schedule the next walk-through safety assessment. The JLMC was established in accordance with RSA 281-A:64 III and is comprised of several SRPC employees, including Kathy Foster, Kyle Pimental, Stephen Geis, and Megan Taylor Fetter, and SRPC representatives Bill Fisher and Don Hamann. The Committee’s purpose is to bring workers and management together to promote safety and health. This purpose is met by coordinating workplace safety inspections, establishing safety programs and procedures, and organizing safety training for staff.
Ensuring the safety of the traffic count field team has been a big focus for the Committee. We recently purchased several safety devices for the SRPC Van and signed staff up for a Flagger Safety course. After successful completion of this course, which includes both written and practical evaluations, students will receive a three-year certification as a traffic flagger issued by the National Safety Council through Primex3, an authorized training affiliate.
The committee created emergency exit maps which are posted at both exits of the office. The maps also indicate where fire extinguishers and other safety equipment are located. In November, the committee organized CPR and AED training for staff and commissioners which was held at the Farmington Fire Station.
