RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES Board Memorandum BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2022 SUBJECT: RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES SAFETY PROGRAM METRICS ON SAFETY INJURIES FOR THIRD QUARTER ISSUES: Consider receiving an update on Riverside Public Utilities Safety Program. RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of Public Utilities receive an update on Riverside Public Utilities Safety Program. DISCUSSION: success in accomplishing our mission. Through our values of teamwork, integrity, professionalism, and safety, the Safety Team, with the support of the RPU Executive Team, promotes a strong safety culture at all levels of RPU. To support safety, the RPU Safety Team has clear objectives, effective processes, and shares information using an improved safety dashboard. By providing tools, training, and programs throughout the year, RPU strives to ensure that all team members have the necessary knowledge, skills, and support to work safely. RPU has updated the Safety Dashboard with OSHA Metrics Reports, Division Safety Risk Levels, Nature of Injures, Type of Incidents by month, and Claims Cost. Moving forward, the RPU Security Governance Committee will review these metrics regularly to develop objectives to improve our performance as measured by these metrics. Development of leading metrics, such as training hours, frequency of tailboard meetings, and safety audits will require us to create uniform processes and recording across the department. That work will be undertaken in the coming months and reflected in future reports as the data becomes available. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This item contributes to Strategic Priority 5 - High Performing Government and Goal 5.5 to foster a culture of safety, well-being, resilience, sustainability, diversity, and inclusion across the city organization.
