Hansley, City Manager INITIATED BY: Dana McDaniel, Assistant Director of Service Michelle Crandall, Management Assistant DATE: December 14, 1994 ,(ff-<;f."" SUBJECT: Respiratory Protection Compliance "Staff recommends Council adopt Ordinance No. 129-94 as an emergency. This Ordinance waives formal advertising and competitive bidding for the purpose of acquiring respiratory protection equipment which will comply with all federal safety standards. Costs are estimated to be $16,383.00. Price estimates are attached. Ordinance No. 126- 94 is also attached. As you may be aware, State of Ohio House Bill 308 requires that Ohio's local governments comply with all Federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) rules and regulations effective January 1, 1995. Such OSHA requirements will be monitored and regulated by the Ohio Public Employee Risk Reduction Advisory Commission and enforced by the Ohio Department of Industrial Relations. In anticipation of this requirement, City staff has been working towards compliance in the following manner: 1. Invited Industrial Relations representatives to inspect and evaluate City-owned facilities and operations to advise on potential shortfalls. This effort began in 1993 and has continued in 1994. Recommended modifications and operational adjustments have been incrementally implemtented as concerns have been identified. 2. Training efforts of supervisors and employees have been escalated in the area of HB 308 awareness and compliance over the past 18 months to two years. Recently, in an attempt to take advantage of training opportunities (time), the Division of Maintenance and certain employees from the Division of Parks & Recreation participated in on-site respiratory protection training. As a result of the training process, outside trainers evaluated the City's current respiratory protection equipment and advised us that -, our current respiratory protection equipment will not be in compliance with the new OSHA standards which will be in effect as of January 1, 1995. As a result of this advice, certain operations requiring confined space entry have been administratively suspended, pending the upgrade of equipment. Staff has identified and evaluated several respiratory protection products and has determined that the Mine Safety Appliances Company manufactures the most suitable masks and associated equipment for our needs. MSA is the most advanced systems on the market offering the best fit and flexibility. In addition, MSA is the mask of choice for (over) ... ~--~I- - most local fire departments, most specifically Washington Township Fire. Purchase of this equipment will ensure compatibility during emergency response and for maintenance of the equipment. I wish to advise Council that a formalized respiratory protection program will require yearly fit testing, physical fitness evaluation and maintenance of equipment to ensure suitability and proper performance. Thank you. """" --. ..... ".~~,~- . '''''~1iI' ",---q , "1'lIPllll~ J - - .
