Meeting Minutes
August 18, 2005                                                                                                                 EMU Alsea Room

Attendees:   Michelle Wygle, Kay Coots, Steve Hecker, Avis Thompson, Steve Pelkey,
Don McIntyre, Dana Winitzky, Tom Hicks, Kathy Viscarra

The July minutes were approved.

 Accident and injury reports were reviewed and discussed.

There was one time loss claim in July.

The committee discussed the dog bite that occurred at PARS.  The employee received minor abrasion to the face, but did not seek medical treatment.  Tom was not aware of anyone at PARS that has filed a permit with DPS.  He commented that as the number of employees that bring their dogs to work grows, problems such as the waste materials, human allergic reactions, and interactions with people who have a profound fear of dogs naturally increases.

Old Business

Kathy talked to the ASUO and relayed the recommendations that the committee made last month concerning bike safety at the street faire.  They will take these under consideration.

The next Safety Advisory Committee meeting will be held in the EMU Alsea Room on
Thursday, September 15th from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.
