employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or
likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees:
The employer failed to provide training mats for use during
Expandable-Straight Baton training
in the following location:
a.Training/Classroom at 555 East Washington Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89101
Reference: Nevada Department of Public Safety, Expandable-Straight Baton
Basic Course Lesson
Plan written by the Nevada Department of Public Safety Defensive Tactics
Committee and
revised in January of 2002. The Items and Materials List requires that
instructors provide
training mats when a room is used for training.
One feasible and acceptable abatement, among others, is to require that
instructors take training
mats with them to the class whether it is inside or outdoors. This would
allow
for inclement or
unsuitable weather conditions.
