Discussion   ensued   whereby   Kristin   will   initiate   a   meeting   of   last   year’s
Lab   Compliance   Committee   to   address   the   haz ‐ com   issue.
Amy   Stockert   mentioned   that   she   has   been   appointed   to   replace   Mary   McWilliams   as   head   of   the   Biosafety/Bloodborne   Pathogen   Committee   and   will   be   setting   up   WebCt   classes.
There   was   group   discussion   about   gas   leaks   in   buildings,   whether   to   pull   fire   alarms,   and   whether   alarms   were   intrinsically   safe.
George   Sleesman   has   contacted   the   alarm   company   and   the   alarms   are   not   intrinsically   safe   and   could,   theoretically,   spark   an   explosion,   as   could   light   switches   and   cell   phones.
Follow   up   includes   information   being   included   in   the   Emergency   Response   Manual   and   H.R.
and   R.A.
training.
George   Sleesman   reported   on   a   recent   break ‐ in   at   Clark   and   that   extra   patrols   will   be   scheduled   over   breaks.
Justin   Courtney   explained   that   students   were   reminded   to   carefully   secure   residence   hall   first   floor   doors   and   windows.
Jeff   Brachok   initiated   conversation   about   recent   fire   alarms   in   the   Mathile/Science/Engineering   complex   where   an   alarm   in   one   building   didn’t   automatically   trigger   all   building   alarms.
It   was   explained   that,   per   state   fire   inspector,   evacuation   is   required   only   in   the   building   with   the   alarm.
Justin   Courtney   named   the   SART   staff   members   that   would   be   on   call   over   Thanksgiving   break.
Some   students   will   remain   in   residence   halls,   although   apartment   residents   are   not   required   to   leave   during   breaks.
Justin   announced   that   he   had   been   named   chairman   of   a   campus   safety   and   crisis   response
committee   of   a   Student   Affairs   professional   organization   serving   a   four ‐ state   region.
Lee   Ann   Hall   explained   that   PPlant   had   attempted   to   complete   a   work   order   to   move   the   wind   sock   from   Meyer   to   Mathile   as   requested,   but   found   that   the   current   location   on   Meyer   is   the   same   height.
The   group   decided   to   ask   that   the   sock   be   elevated   10’   and   kept   on   Meyer.
There   is   little   to   report   on
H1N1,   as   there   have   only   been   a   handful   of   cases   to   date.
Suggested   that   George   Sleesman   create   a
Safety   Committee   web   site.
This   was   agreed   upon   and   is   to   include,   but   not   limited   to,   the   blood ‐ borne,   bio ‐ safety,   and   haz ‐ com   documents,   portions   of   the   Emergency   Response   manual,   Safety   Committee
meeting   minutes,   and   yellow   General   Employee   Safety   handbook   information.
The   next   meeting   will   be   held   Dec.
11,   the   second   Friday,   at   noon.

Committee   Chairman   Kristin   Daws   opened   the   meeting   with   a   review   of   the   previous   month’s   minutes.
In   regard   to   past   discussion   about   gas   leaks   in   buildings,   George   Sleesman   will   be   investigating   the   availability   of   gas   detectors   for   the   Science   complex.
Fire   alarms   in   the   complex   had   also   been   a   topic   at   the   earlier   meeting   and   George   explained   that   all   the   buildings   are   on   separate   alarms,   as   approved   by   the   state   fire   inspector,   and   that   an   alarm   in   one   building   does   not   automatically   trigger   the   other   buildings’   alarms.
Those   would   be   set   off   by   smoke   or   fire   flowing   into   adjacent   buildings   or   pull   stations   being   manually   activated.
Melissa   Taylor   reminded   the   group   to   keep   hallways   and   entrances   free   of   bicycles   as   cold   weather   sets   in   and   people   bring   them   into   buildings.
She   also   indicated   that   the   process   for   fire   extinguisher   checks   and   placement   will   be   re ‐ evaluated.
She   has   requested   Van   Wert   Fire   Extinguisher   Co.
to   check
Founders   Hall   again   and   she   has   added   five   extinguishers   in   the   laundry   rooms   there.
AED’s   were   inspected   and   expired   batteries   and   pads   replaced.
This   will   be   done   two   times   per   year   and   a   written   policy   will   be   created.
Lee   Ann   Hall   reported   that   Physical   Plant   will   be   able   to   raise   the   weather   sock   on   Meyer   approximately
8’   as   requested.
George   Sleesman   was   agreeable   to   creating   a   web   page   for   Safety   Committee.
Safety ‐ related   documents   should   be   submitted   to   him   for   inclusion.
As   the   cold   weather   arrives,   smokers   were   reminded   to   move   away   from   buildings   and   not   congregate   close   to   entrances.
Kristen   announced   that   there   will   be   a   hazardous   waste   pick   up   on   Monday.
Justin   Courtney   explained   that   procedure   for   closing   the   halls   over   breaks   is   being   reviewed   and   there   is   often   difficulty   finding   a   staff   member   willing   to   stay   on   campus   during   Christmas   break   when   there   are   some   students   remaining   in   residence   halls.
Jeff   Brachok   expressed   interest   in   continuing   discussion   with   Melissa   Taylor   at   another   time   in   regard   to   adding   fire   extinguishers   in   the   Science   complex.
Julie   Hurtig   reported   that   the   lights   in   the   basement   of   Lehr   Bldg.
weren’t   working   properly,   and   that
Physical   Plant   is   correcting   the   problem.
Bill   Kanzig   suggest   that   names   be   added   to   the   buildings   at   Affinity   Village   so   emergency   vehicles   can    respond   to   the   correct   location.
He   also   inquired   into   the   cause   of   so   many   fire   alarms   and   was   informed   that   the   problem   is   being   addressed   by   a   committee   working   with   Simplex   to   identify
problems   and   solutions,   and   thereby   reduce   the   number   of   alarms   without   sacrificing   safety.
The   next   meeting   will   be   Jan.

The   meeting   was   open   by   Chairman   Kristin   Daws   as   she   reviewed   the   previous   meeting’s   minutes.
Further   discussion   of   several   past   topics   included:
• clarification   that   the   fire   alarms   in   the   science   complex   are   not   intrinsically   safe   and   should   not   be   used   in   the   event   of   a   suspected   gas   leak.

Animal   Use   training   and   Radiation   Safety   training.
The   site   is   expected   to   be   complete   by   the   end   of
January.
It   was   suggested   that   more   safety   training   programs   be   brought   to   the   Safety   Committee   meetings.
After   short   discussion   it   was   decided   that   Bill   Kanzig   would   demonstrate   AED   use   at   the   February
