We received three serious violations. We have thirty days to respond with an abatement plan. The Salem District has already completed most of the abatement plan with changes already taking place. Abatement plan will be submitted to the Regional Solicitor's Office prior to the OSHA submission. The COOPs are a performance review item for the State Director and the District's have not met the requirements to date.
Districts have until the end of the FY to complete their plans.
The OSO Plan will be reviewed by the WO June 18 th . Van requested that the OSO Plan be submitted to the Districts as a template. Mandatory 4 x 4 Training Michelle led discussion with some Districts have raised a concern that the past 4 x 4 training requirements were not specific enough and the mandatory training was only implied. Committee agreed that 4 x4 training is mandatory and any employee who drives a vehicle with 4 x 4 capabilities will be trained, regardless if they are driving off the pavement of not and no exceptions will be made. It is suggested that the 4 x 4 training be included with the DDC training and required every three years.
