Results: As of the 2003 review, this Partnership has implemented many
positive changes. The Park's safety committee composition has changed
to include more employee representatives. Generic programs and
policies have been reviewed and rewritten with employee input. The
Park has purchased a comprehensive data base that will allow the
safety office to fully inventory and digitally catalog all
permit-required confined spaces. Injury and illness cases have been
reduced, and near misses continue to be reported to evaluate safety
compliance. Additionally, the Park has contracted with GSA to develop
a comprehensive emergency action plan. |

Results: The Golden Gate National Recreational Area (GGNRA) uses a
computer-based Safety Management Information System (SMIS) to track
injuries and illnesses. SMIS incident rates have decreased over the
last four years, from 19.15 in 1999 to 5.45 in 2003. The decline in
incident rates can be attributed to hiring a full time safety and
health specialist, increasing communications about safety and safety
programs, changing work practices, participating in behavior based
safety training and investigating accidents more thoroughly. |
