Due to increased Op-tempo, the Surface Maintenance community experienced increased work related injuries.
In response to these incidents LT. Hoogendorn approached the Union for suggestions in combating this problem.
She developed a detailed plan and a schedule for all FMS facilities, with no exceptions to conduct a Safety Stand Down.
Guidance was sought from the Safety Office by a majority of the shop chiefs on how to conduct these classes.
In a couple of incidences the Composite Risk Assessment Program was reinforced and utilized to mitigate risk during daily work procedures.
