Sandy Rinebolt discussed first aid techniques, for times when no medical personnel is immediately available. When first aid is being performed the person administering the treatment must wear gloves. Make sure to clean the injured area. Most importantly, leave Sandy a note so she knows which employee was treated, who administered the treatment and what was done. This is especially important for those supervisory personnel who work evenings, when Sandy is generally not in the plant.
Paula Kalafarski told the foremen that if an employee experiences a death in his immediate family, for a variety of reasons the foreman must inform the Human Resources Department of the details as soon as possible .
The meeting adjourned at 2:10 p.m.
