  1. Committee Chair Harvey reported on U-wide EH&S meeting:

There was a report of the annual Workers Compensation Claims; those interested in L&I statistics should review the U-Wide committee meeting minutes.  There is a preliminary effort under way for employees to formally request light duty work options.  This should help the University further reduce lost work days.

 

The report from the EH&S board was that the revision of Executive Order 55 has been finalized.

 

  1. Discussion,  Department Health and Safety Plans:

To begin the Group review of  Group Six Health and Safety Plans, Bob Blum will update the list of Departments and safety plans and email it to the Committee members.  A check of the status of each Plan will be performed and recorded; each Department Plan will be recorded as "current" (each plan is required to be updated annually), "not current" or "not received".  The minutes for the November Group 6 Committee meeting will include the results of this check.
