Highway Garage Safety Question
by Noel, Erica March 19, 2021

March 19, 2021

Hello Everyone, I was wondering how other counties handle the safety and training program for their highway garage. Do you have a single person whose sole job is to manage the safety program (trenching, traffic maintenance, shop, training etc.)? Is your superintendent the safety expert who ensures work is done safely? Do you have employees who specialize in certain areas so you have multiple people running the program? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Erica Noel Risk Coordinator Wood County Commissioners' Office P: 419-354-9199 F: 419-373-4998 enoel(a)woodcountyohio.gov ***Please note my email address has changed***

by Jim Hale Feb. 16, 2021

Feb. 16, 2021

With the cold temperatures and drafty county buildings many CORSA members permits staff to utilize space heaters. Best Practice indicates if a CORSA member permits use of spaces heaters the member develop and implement a space heater policy. At a minimum the policy should have the following requirements: * Heater be UL listed * Heater have auto tip-over protection * Require that the heater be turned off when unattended. Additionally, having auto shut-off is an excellent option * The maintenance department approve the installation and assure that the wiring can handle the load * Never connect to an extension cord or power tap Attached is an information sheet from the NFPA on space heater safety, please feel free to distribute as necessary.

Frozen Pipes and Water Damage
by Jim Hale Feb. 2, 2021

Feb. 2, 2021

The forecast for next week starting Saturday, 2/6/21, is for severe freezing weather to arrive and stay for an extended time. Every year CORSA members experience losses due to frozen pipes and the water damage it causes. These losses can and have exceeded $1,000,000! The following are several steps that can be taken to mitigate the risk of frozen pipes: Step 1: How to drain your pipes First things first: Get the water in your pipes out! To do that, you'll want to tackle all the water lines exposed to the freezing temperatures. After you shut off the water valves, open the spigots to let any remaining water drip out. Step 2: Insulate exposed piping Ideally, your water pipes should be kept in heated spaces only. Although this is the best-case scenario, each facility layout is different. Generally, you'll want to watch out for any pipes in unheated or uninsulated areas, like attics, basements, or crawl space. Any piping located in areas that could go below freezing should be insulated with insulation sleeves or wrapping. Step 3: Open accessible doors Once you reach that time of year when freezing temperatures are the norm, even your indoor pipes may need some extra protection. And one easy way to do that is to open any accessible doors that house plumbing. The improved airflow keeps your pipes toastier than if they were shut. Step 4: Let it drip, drip, drip Another pipe-saving tip: When temperatures drop to below freezing, let your faucets drip. Yes, this advice opposes almost everything else you know about water conservation, but it can save you big bucks on fixing that busted pipe. The Red Cross concurs that running water through the pipe-even at a trickle-helps prevent pipes from freezing. Letting cold water drip from the faucet helps relieve any pressure building from ice inside a pipe. Step 5: Shut off the water completely During periods of facility unuse, you'll want to take the extra measure to turn off your building's water completely. Unused water sitting in pipes is likely to freeze. Why take the risk?
