No more broken promises - we want real SAFETY solutions!
I support AFSCME Ohio Council 8 Local 1746 members who are demanding that Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services and the County Executive address the threat of violence and lack of safety and security, members and the children they care for, face everyday. The solution is not to prosecute dedicated public service professionals who are only trying to defend themselves and children who find themselves in the crosshairs of violent situations. Instead, the administration must work with our members to create a workplace violence prevention program that identifies; key violence stressors, provide training, and most importantly, provide the resources and staff County DCFS employees and
children need to stay safe and healthy.
AFSCME Ohio Council 8 Local 1746 recommends that any comprehensive safety plan include these important building blocks to address the safety crisis at
Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services.
• Management commitment & employee involvement
• Worksite analysis & hazard identification
• Hazard prevention & control
• Health & safety training; and
• Record keeping & program evaluation
Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services and those they serve need immediate and real SAFETY solutions. We urge the administration to ACT NOW!
