RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report on the twentieth anniversary of the Industrial Safety Ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

During the 1990s there were many serious incidents where there were fatalities, major impact to the community, or major damage onsite. The County’s Board of Supervisor knew something needed to be done. They adopted the Industrial Safety Ordinance that went well beyond any other requirements to prevent accidents. The attached report shows the success of this ordinance.
