Section 2001-5.0 - Operation

5.1 System Safety Program

Each utility shall exercise reasonable care to reduce the hazards to which its employees, customers, and the general public may be subjected. A safety program should be adopted by each utility, fitted to the size and type of its operations.

5.1.1 "Miss Utility". It would be in the best interest of all water distribution operators to belong to and participate in the "Miss Utility" program. Such participation should result in lowering third-party damage to other utilities as well as their own.

5.1.2 Promote Safe Work Methods. Each utility should require its employees to use suitable tools and equipment in order that they may perform their work in a safe manner. The utility's employees who are subject to the hazards of asphyxiation, chemical handling, electrical shock, or drowning in the course of performing their work should be properly instructed in the accepted methods of artificial respiration, including CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) if available.
