Subject: Advisory Safety and Health Committee

This Information Bulletin introduces the BLM California Advisory Safety and Health Committee (ASH) members. ASH is a state level committee which provides a forum for all employees to bring forward concerns about safety and health in or related to the workplace.

The Code of Federal Regulations (Title 29, Part 1960) and BLM Handbook 1112-1 provide the foundation and guidance for state-wide safety committees. The committee chairperson will be nominated from among the committee members and elected by the committee members. This position alternates between management and non-management members, and the term does not exceed one (1) year. In addition to the chairperson, membership of the committee consists of the State Safety Manager, three (3) Management officials, two (2) Union representatives, and one (1) non-bargaining unit employee. The committee members are:

  • State Safety Manager
  • Katrina Symons, Management
  • Van Arroyo, Fire Management
  • Salvador Nieblas, Law Enforcement Management
  • Ryan Tran, Non-Bargaining Unit
  • Chavez Remijio Jr., Union
  • Jamie Livingood, Union

The committee meets quarterly to consider state-wide safety issues and make recommendations for resolving those issues. All employees have access to the ASH SharePoint Site where meeting minutes and other items of interest are posted. The link to this site is http://teamspace/ca/sites/safety/Pages/ASHCommittee-Informatio.aspx

I encourage employees to bring safety and health concerns, along with suggestions for
addressing those issues, to the attention of any ASH member, or your district/field office safety
committee.

Questions regarding this IB can be directed to State Safety Manager at 916-978-4521.
