MORGAN Dick A <br /> From: GRISSELL Dee <br /> To: MORGAN Dick A <br /> Subject: OSHA Notes for Owen Rose Garden <br /> Date: Tuesday, April 02, 1996 12:31 AM <br /> On April 1, no foolin, we had a surprise visit from Michael McCarthy, the senior Safety compliance Officer <br /> with Oregon OSHA. Apparently this was a general inspection initiated by his supervisor, ( this was the <br /> card I showed you the other day). She had written down specific infractions and my assumption is that , <br /> having this knowledge put them in the liability seat, with her wishes to pass the buck back into our laps. <br /> Chuck was concerned that this should have been a complaint as opposed to a general. Regardless, here are <br /> the specifics: <br /> 1. No red card on the phone indicating emergency #'s. (ex. 9 -911 etc.) Chuck should have these available <br /> to us. <br /> 2. Division Safety meeting notes not posted on the bulletin board . (They are now!) <br /> 3. The ground prong on both the toaster and the microwave has been cut off. Numerous components of <br /> the electrical system are not grounded. The neutral as well as the ground is hot, an apparent reverse <br /> polarity within the system. This infraction is of a serious nature! <br /> 4. No cover on an electrical wire within the restroom. The wire was hot. ( a simple cover will correct this <br /> one) <br /> 5. A type 111 "home owner" style ladder was apparently in use. (This needs to go to the auction!) <br /> 6. Dead vermin on the restroom floor. ( This one's history!) <br /> 7. The apparent conflict of the garage sink unit being utilized for food preparation as well as its close <br /> proximity to the pesticide storage, and the washing of hands after pesticide applications. There needs to be <br /> a totally seperate unit for each function. Preferably with an eye wash system on the pesticide sink. ( This <br /> would possibly be of a serious nature as well) <br /> 8. Complete closure and inability to access the condemed section of the facility is required. Doors need to <br /> be nailed shut and a hard covering should replace the plastic. <br /> Page 1 <br />
