Rainy days typically turn into safety training education as today did. This is a huge part of my program because it's something I feel like I can't talk enough about. Today we covered Chainsaw safety, which we have a number of rules about. In the past, I've brought in outside speakers to talk to the staff. The goal is to hit it in a number of directions from multiple perspectives. Next week, we have more Chainsaw safety coming when a local Arborist, a man who spent many years in the logging industry in Alaska, will talk about common mistakes he sees people make when it comes to chainsaw use. Of course, all of our dangerous work and big trees are left to the professionals, but we do a large amount of under-brushing during the offseason which is also dangerous.
We cover a large number of topics. Some of the more obvious ones include cart safety and mower safety. But it goes much farther than that. Did you we have a plan in place for an ambulance to access the golf course from several points? If any member where to have an emergency on the golf course, my team would more than likely be close by and are trained in what to do during those times and how to get EMS on site as fast as possible. We've gone as far as to establish these points with EMS in the event of an emergency. For example, if a golfer experienced a heart attack on #13 green, my staff knows how to talk to dispatch to get an ambulance to meet them at Hummingbird Lane/#15 tee. There are multiple EMS points on Cobb Road, Moorewood Road, Hudson Rd. and Piper's Court. In the event that golfer couldn't be moved, they also also know how to safely get an ambulance on site, on the golf course. There would be no standing around or hesitation about what to do. I'm proud of the fact that we are as proactive as we can be when it comes to safety. I say every morning, each member of this team is responsible for their own safety and they owe it to everyone who loves them to be alert at all times and aware of what is going on around them.
