Mr. Bob Lisson provided input to the November meeting on several
queries arising from the October meeting.

Safety check forms will be used commencing the week of the 24
November 1975.

A recent bomb scare stimulated a discussion of the "Interim Policy"
which was presented to all members of the Committee. This Interim
Policy was presented and accepted by College Council and is part of
an ongoing evaluation of procedures in use at other institutions.

Orderly evacuation of vehicles from the campuses poses several
problems, but Bob Lisson informed the committee that the RCMP have
indicated that the RCMP will control traffic when called upon to do so.

There is apparently, no perfect solution to this problem which faces
all institutions from time to time, but there is a policy, which is
being used but which for obvious reasons has not received wide
distribution. (See copy interim measures)

Inquiry was made of Bob Lisson about use by employees of private
motor vehicles to transport equipment between campuses. A policy
statement was to be made outlining the regulations. *(5ee Mad Hatter)
While this was not directly a Safety Committee matter it was felt by
the Committee that it was of considerable importancd tu the staff and
could result in unsafe practices if staff were not aware of the
problems in this area.

A short report was made by John Beardsley as a result of phone calls
made to the Royal Columbian - there is no emergency member available
for information concerning injuries and it was recommended that the
College simply transport all injured persons to Emergency.

A statement*was to be made concerning first aid facilities and a
request for those holding First Aid Certificates to send their |
names to Personnel.*(See Mad Hatter)

The Safety Committee welcomed new member Andrew MacAdam from
Instructional Resource.

Next meeting last Thursday of December will need to be adjourned
and was set for 18 December 1975.
