City council has passed a new policy that regulates city workers who work alone.
The Working Alone Policy outlines a number of procedures, prohibitions and precautions employees and employers of the City should follow when an employee is at a workplace alone. This includes employees reporting to Fire and Emergency Services if working alone for longer than 2 hours.
City Manager Gary Ceppetelli said the Workplace Health and Safety Committee has been working on a written work policy for the City for a number of years. He says now there is something consistent and concise all across the board in the city.
