Older Drivers in the Workplace: How Employers and Workers Can Prevent Crashes - NIOSH Fact Sheet
by James Hale, ARM-E, ARM-P March 25, 2016

March 25, 2016

Fact: Counties have large vehicle fleets Fact: Counties utilize many older drivers Fact: “… those age 55 and older have twice the risk of dying in a work-related crash than younger workers do. One possible reason is that older persons are more likely to be injured if they are in a crash, and more likely to die if they are injured.” (From the attached NIOSH Fact Sheet Older Drivers in the Workplace: How Employers and Workers Can Prevent Crashes) The NIOSH fact sheet, Older Drivers in the Workplace: How Employers and Workers Can Prevent Crashes, contains much valuable information on a risk all CORSA members faces and should be taking active actions to mitigate. After reviewing the fact sheet please consider the numerous defensive driving risk management options available at no charge to CORSA all members: CORSA Live driver training National Safety Council DDC-4 Defensive Driver Training- All drivers Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator – Drivers operating with lights and sirens Coaching the Maintenance Vehicle Operator – CDL truck operators Coaching the School Bus Operator – CDL bus operators Coaching the Experienced Driver – All Drivers CORSA University On-line training Advanced Defensive Driving Techniques – All drivers Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety – CDL Holders Defensive Driving Basics - – All drivers Distracted Driving for Local Government– All drivers If you would like to schedule live driver training contact Tom Carabin for the DDC-4 tomc(a)neo.rr.com<mailto:tomc@neo.rr.com> (419) 668-4251 or John Brownlee jbrownlee(a)ccao.org<mailto:jbrownlee@ccao.org> 419-980-0084 or James Hale, ARM-P, ARM-E Risk Control Consultant County Risk Sharing Authority 209 East State Street Columbus, OH 43215 614.246.1630 FAX 614.220.0209

Fall Protection Policy
by Julie Rittenhouse March 18, 2016

March 18, 2016

Defiance County recently utilized the BWC Safety Intervention grant and purchased a 19' Scissor Lift and a 45' Articulating Boom. We need to implement a safety program for those two pieces of equipment. I was hoping another CORSA member would have a written program for Fall Protection that they would be willing to share. Any polices that could be shared in regard to this type of equipment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any consideration given to this request. Please send any correspondence to: Julie Rittenhouse Loss Control Coordinator / Risk Manager for Defiance County ema(a)defiance-county.com Julie A. Rittenhouse Defiance County Public Safety - EMA 22491 Mill Street Defiance OH 43512 Phone: 419-782-1130 Fax: 419-782-3714 Email: ema(a)defiance-county.com KD8YMP This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain private, confidential, and/or privileged information.

11 tips for effective workplace housekeeping
by James Hale, ARM-E, ARM-P March 1, 2016

March 1, 2016

Sometimes we overlook the obvious and simple things, many would be surprised at how often when doing a facility inspection we find a basic "housekeeping" issue. The attached article illustrates some issues and effective tips for mitigating the hazards caused by poor housekeeping. "To some people, the word "housekeeping" calls to mind cleaning floors and surfaces, removing dust, and organizing clutter. But in a work setting, it means much more. Housekeeping is crucial to safe workplaces. It can help prevent injuries and improve productivity and morale, as well as make a good first impression on visitors, according to Cari Gray, safety consultant for the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. It also can help an employer avoid potential fines for non-compliance." - From the National Safety Council's article "11 tips for effective workplace housekeeping" James Hale, ARM-P, ARM-E Risk Control Consultant County Risk Sharing Authority 209 East State Street Columbus, OH 43215 614.246.1630 FAX 614.220.0209
