Review of injury reports: This quarter 6 accidents were reported. A discussion took place regarding the various reports and if there was preventive policies in place which could have prevented them. The committee discussed the possibility for the town to purchase Yaktracks for outside workers in order to prevent slips on ice and snow. Mrs. Ross will look into that.

Workplace Violence and Sexual Harassment for supervisors and separate workshops will be conducted for the Public Works Department. He will be looking at our past injuries for other training possibilities.
The inspection of the Police Department/Parks & Recreation and Social Services then took place. Reports will be filed with the Chief, the Public Works Director and the Fire Marshal. No serious violations were noted.
