Box 14480 <br /> Salem, OR 97309 -0405 <br /> RE: OPTIONAL REPORT NUMBER M1454- 025 -06 <br /> Dear Mr. Wood: <br /> The City of Eugene wishes to appeal Citation 1 Item 1(b) contained in the above listed <br /> Optional Report Number. The citation was received by mail delivery at the City of <br /> Eugene Human Resource Risk Management Office on May 10, 2006. The City of <br /> Eugene requests that an informal conference be scheduled to resolve this item. <br /> At issue is the inspector's interpretation that the supervisor of the victim allowed this <br /> employee to set her own work hours without any direct supervision while working on the <br /> fish trap. The injured employee is a paraprofessional and her normal job duties as a <br /> Habitat Enhancement Coordinator include participating with multi- agency personnel to <br /> plan, coordinate and implement natural resource and habitat improvement projects. The <br /> person in this position is expected to work independently with little supervision and to <br /> work flexible hours including on weekends. <br /> As a point of clarification, Citation 1 Item 1(c) refers to City of Eugene employees with <br /> little or no experience being allowed to work from the fish trap. These employees were <br /> given a safety orientation and basic training in the work they were performing by the OR <br /> Fish & Wildlife Fish Biologist who was supervising the work for the joint project. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions. <br /> Sin y <br /> Mike Pungercar, CSHM <br /> Safety /Loss Control & Environmental Program Manager <br /> City of Eugene <br /> Human Resource & Risk Services <br /> 777 Pearl Street - Room 101 <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> (541) 682 -5762 <br /> mike.f.pungercar @ci.eugene.or.us ' <br /> cc: Johnny Medlin — Parks & Open Space Director <br /> This paper is made of 100% post- consumer recycled fiber. <br />
