They were also trainedto use anemometers tomeasure airflow from ventsand hygrometers to measurehumidity.Along with new training,tools, and mold-killing paint,the program also includesa mold inspection protocolthat creates a documentedproject plan for each moldwork order. The plan guidesstaff through finding the rootcause, determining next steps,and selecting appropriateremediation methods.Uniquely Qualified“Today’s training will give youthe physical and analytical toolsyou need to remediate mold,”Professor Francis McGoverntold staff at the May 4 trainingsession. “Folks like you, onthe ground, have the ability tosolve this problem, and youcare about the residents.”Assigned as “specialmaster” to oversee NYCHA’smold remediation effortsthrough a court settlementseveral years ago, the DukeUniversity professor of lawasked mold remediationspecialists at Microecologies,Inc., to help develop the moldremediation program.“NYCHA’s employees arededicated and highly skilledpeople who are uniquely qualified to solve the problem,”agreed Bill Sothern, an industrial hygienist with Microecologies. Eighty percent ofmold recurrence problems“can be handled at the development level without requiring capital work,” he said.“I think this program willwork,” said Reid ApartmentsProperty Manager ToshiaSmith, who attended the classand the field training. “We’renot looking for a quick fix;we’re using the right equipment to find out what’s goingon to remedy the situation.”Ms. Smith described usinga tool to measure air flowin bathroom vents and wallmoisture; a micro inspectioncamera to look for leaks insidewalls; and a device to measure air temperature at differentlocations. “My superintendentand I liked the equipment andso did the staff,” she said.Drew Hamilton PropertyMaintenance Supervisor Gomillion McKinley said, “The equipment takes the guess work outof checking for moisture andmold. We could easily detectreduced air flow out of thevents, which could allow moldto grow. We also found a leakbehind a wall without makinglots of small holes to locatethe source. This will definitelybe a topic of conversation atmorning muster and I’ll betraining my staff.”(cont. p. 3)VOL. 3 JUNE 2017 NUMBER 5NYCHA Notes:Staff AppointmentsChair Olatoye Responds toTrump Administration’s FY 2018Budget ProposalHard Copy Distribution of NYCHA Now Discontinued3 Lessons in LeadershipLGBTQ Employee Organizationto Celebrate Pride Month4 Meet the Employee EngagementCommittee5NYCHA Marks NextGen’s Two Year AnniversarySay Hello to the EmployeeEngagement Committee6 NYCHA’s Trade FairLevels the Playing Field7 IT News and NotesSafe NYCHA8News to UseAnothergreatNYCHAevent.Dir. of ProcurementJoseph Schmidt (right)at NYCHA’s M/WBEtrade fair.See p. 5.

Use up-to-date securitysoftware on your phoneand computer, such asanti-virus, anti-spyware, andanti-malware.A monthly series on employee safety issuesSafety: A Call to ActionNYCHA’s safety program hasnow been in effect for fouryears. In that time, much hasbeen accomplished: Everyproperty management department has its own safetycongress that meets once amonth; most developmentsand skilled trades have identified a safety associate; “MakeIt Safe” activations are takingplace; numerous safety-relatedstandard procedures havebeen published; and ourfourth Safety Symposium willtake place in late June.While these accomplishments are great, we still needmore employee involvementin promoting safety at NYCHA. There are three areas inwhich this can be achieved: Safety awareness—identifying what’s safe and what’s notin your workplace and findingthe solutions to make it safe; Safety teams—workingwith your department ordevelopment’s safety associate to identify and eliminatehazards; and Safety training—attendingscheduled safety training andimplementing safety practices.Irving Anglada (left), Security Manager in the Office of Safety and Security,was one of six subject matter experts who spoke to employees at the lastsafety symposium. This year’s safety symposium will be held on June 29 atthe Johnson Houses Community Center.Safety TeamsMost developments andsome departments have asafety associate to help identify hazards, meet with staffto hear their safety concerns,and articulate those concernsto supervisors and at monthlysafety congresses. Considerhelping the safety associateestablish a safety team foryour location.Safety AwarenessAre the extension cords inyour office frayed? Is therea constant stoppage in yourbasement? Is the safety switchon the compactor not working properly? Are you using aswiveling desk chair to get tothe files on the top shelf?All of these scenarios canresult in an on-the-job injury.Although some solutions require an outside vendor, manysafety solutions can be quicklyaddressed by meeting withyour supervisor and co-workers to find solutions to hazards. Safety TrainingThe Office of Safety and Security now provides safety training. The first required classes7 being scheduled are NewEmployee Safety Orientation,Safety Refresher forSupervisors, and the ConfinedSpace program. One wayyou can participate in safetyenhancement is by attendingthe classes as scheduled.You can also further safety byimplementing and practicingthe safety protocols sharedduring these training classes.Passing on safety knowledgeis a powerful tool in helpingto eradicate or minimize workplace hazards.
