during this quarter include a training programs, the
recording of automobile accidents with followup
recommendations, driver's license screening, inspection of
City facilities and the use of safety engineering services.
During the first quarter two all-day safety and loss
prevention training program were held by the City's Safety
Engineer. There were 26 supervisors representing 9 City
departments in attendance at the workshop.
These workshops were designed to cover the following areas
where accidents had been most frequent and costly. Other
training sessions including signing and barricading on
roadways and driver training courses are being planned for
the next quarter.
The Police Department is screening all employees that drive
City vehicles to ascertain if they have a valid drivers
license and if there have been any driving convictions that
have been recorded by the DMV.

Memorandum Page 5 October 30, 1981
Two maintenance facilities The City Yard and the Park's
Yard have been inspected by the Safety Engineer during the
first quarter of this fiscal year. A report of his
findings has been given to the Director of Maintenance at
the Yard and to the Parks and Recreation Director.
During the first quarter there were two City vehicles that
were involved in accidents. The cost of repairs to these
vehicles was $1,354. One fire rig was also destroyed by
fire and the estimated loss of this vehicle was over
$15,000.
As a part of the followup to this area of the loss control
program it was recommended that a fisheye mirror be
installed on the street sweeper that was involved in an
accident to help improve the vision of the operator. The
mirror has been installed.
In the case of the other accident with a City truck,the
employee involved was sent to the eye doctor to see if his
prescription needed to be changed. The report came back
that it did not need to be changed. No disciplinary action
was taken; however, the employee was counseled by his
supervisor to be more careful when driving a City vehicle.
The Fire Department is conducting their own review of the
accident involving the brush rig and their recommendations
will be given to the Fire Chief for implementation. As a
result of the investigation, the captain involved was
counseled as to the seriousness of the accident and what he
could have done to have prevented it from happening. Two
suggestions were made: (1) A more thorough size-up of the
area prior to going into it; and (2) posting a lead man in
front of the vehicle before cresting the hill and entering
the steep terrain. Also, department personnel have
reviewed their standard operating procedures for this type
of fire and an engineer (if available) will be assigned to
operate the apparatus in the future.
The new Risk Management Program has been well received by
management personnel and other City employees. As the Risk
Management continues to develop it will play an even larger
role in the City's ongoing effort to protect their
employees, equipment and buildings from possible loss.
