  1. IBEW Local #5 • Provided OSHA 30, scaffolding safety, first aid and CPR training for 75 employees at no cost to the District. • Monthly safety committee meetings are held at the local. • Our safety program would not be successful without the progressive commitment and leadership of the Pittsburgh Building Trades Council. • Lesson learned: safety must be a joint labor-management endeavor.

  2. Milestones: safety is a journey, not a destination • In October 2003, our Board adopted a comprehensive workplace accident and illness prevention program. • In April 2004, the District’s integrated pest management program was certified by the IPM Institute of North America. • In April 2004, AON Risk Services, Inc. performed a workers’ compensation audit comparing the District’s reporting, investigation, medical management, documentation, litigation, reserves, and case claim management against best practices. The District scored 92 on a 100 point scale. • In April 2005, the Health and Safety Division conducted an on-site audit in accordance with Section 1001 (c) of the Workers’ Compensation Act for the purpose of determining the adequacy and effectiveness of the District’s accident and illness prevention program, assigning a preliminary rating of adequate due to no deficiencies being discovered. A final rating of adequate was assigned in May 2005.

  3. Safety committee organization • Subcommittees address specific issues: • Food service • Facilities • Clerical and custodial • Integrated pest management • School operations • Very large committee, heavily weighted with labor, where every member has an equal voice with no fear of repercussions. • Lesson learned: your safety committee must reflect the complexity of your business model and the diversity of your workforce.

  4. Safety First • Bimonthly safety newsletter updates our community of learners on committee goals, activities and challenges.

  5. Monthly safety awareness topics inform and educate employees
