Chairman outlines county legislature goals

Secondly, Chagnon wants the county to hire a safety coordinator and energize the safety culture throughout county operations. “A safety coordinator would make sure each of our departments and work sites has the proper safety procedure, equipment, and training, to do job safely,” he said.

In 2020, a private contractor was killed while at the county landfill in Ellery. Last winter, a snowplow driver hit a vehicle, killing the driver.

Chagnon noted a safety coordinator would be the lead investigator in those type of situations, as well as when there’s a serious injury.
