HSE Committee Report

February 2015 

Tuesday, February 24, 2015:  fumes in the HQ building

At 9:00 AM the lobby smelled like diesel. It was probably from a furniture delivery truck that idled at the loading dock. We need to remind the garage attendants, Matt Becker and the International of the 5 minute limit on idling enacted by Allegheny County in 2010.

Wednesday, February 25, 2015: accessibility issues in the HQ building

A letter was sent from the HSE Committee recapping our efforts to improve accessibility for restrooms, ramps and doorways throughout the Headquarters building. We will keep revisiting this until we see some improvements. Our next communication will give them a deadline after which we will schedule our outside ADA evaluator to come in for a tour.
