1. The Man down system is currently not working. (Safety Issue)
• The man down system is now working- it was tested today and is tested on a daily basis. There is one remote that is not working and will be replaced. Management looked into replacing this system but ran into contractual obligations. If the system is replaced in the future, a system other than Simplex will be looked at.

• Follow up Discussion: How does everyone feel the inversing situation has been going these last 3 months
o Inversing has been much better for both staff and management.
o From 6/23/10-present there has been only 13.75 hours of mandatory inverse hours. Staff has been working together to cover this and management appreciates this.

CBHH:
• Staff has concerns with the elimination of HST and LPN positions that the few leftover AFSCME staff will be subject to an inordinate amount of inversing as the lower paid staff even when it is RN’s causing the inversing. (for example, getting inversed in excess of 24/48 hours).
