Agenda Items:

1.   FIRST AID AND CPR TRAINING

Two dates were considered for the training:  Saturday, June 28, 2003 and Saturday, July 26, 2003.  The Committee decided that the session will be on June 28, in English.  Kimberly said that the training will involve Adult, Infant, and Child CPR and First Aid.  

Kimberly will coordinate the training with Ramona in Dining Services and Theresa in F&M.  She will also send directions and specifics to all participants.   

2.   RADIATION SAFETY TRAINING VIDEO

Videos dealing with several topics are available from Radiological Training Services.  They include "Radiation Preparation," "Radiation Revisited," "Radiation Protection Standards," Radiation and Pregnancy," "Radiation Fundamentals," and "Radiation and Common Sense."  Of particular concern is the length of the video.

The Committee decided that Annie should seek the advice of Professor Karl Haushalter in the chemistry department concerning which videos should be purchased.  Professor Haushalter has experience working with radiochemicals.  The Committee also agreed that other options should be explored before any purchases are made.

3.   INCENTIVES TO PROMOTE SAFETY

The Committee discussed the possibility of awarding gift certificates/cards. They could be from Starbucks, Borders, Some Crust, or Wolfes.  It is desireable to avoid the tax implications of the meal-card credit. Kimberly will investigate the maximum "non-taxable" amount that can be offered in the gift certificate/card.

It was decided that 10 to 15 gifts would be given during the academic year.

4.   OPEN DISCUSSION

A.  Lillian has determined the style and size of the pallet needed to house 2 (two) 55 gallon drums of acetone in the cage on the Libra loading dock.  Tony provided information from the California Uniform Fire Code.

Annie suggested contacting Golden Eagle Moving Company concerning the delivery of the 55 gallon drum. 

5.   Next meeting:  will be scheduled in August, 2003

A computer record and a hard copy of this report will be kept in Lillian McCollum's office (2310 Jacobs).
