At its June meeting, the Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners’ Association hosted a presentation on Water District Safety Considerations led by Bill Geerlings from Employee Priority Safety.

Mr. Geerlings highlighted key safety measures and considerations that all water service providers are required to monitor in order to meet all standards set forth by the Public Employee Safety and Health (PESH) Bureau. This included a review of the legal and ethical duties of an employer, as well as review of key regulations and the importance of having an evacuation plan.

“We can never be too safe,” said NSWCA President and Massapequa Water District Commissioner Michael Mazzola. “These reminders and a review of critical regulations from Mr. Geerlings are always important.”
