Rescue the rescuer first - v17

It's basically impossible for other community rescuers -- including firefighters and emergency-room doctors -- to do their work without safe potable water and effective wastewater disposal. Treating water and wastewater workers like rescuers must become a community priority everywhere.

Rescue the rescuer first - v17
- 1. RESCUE THE RESCUER FIRST Brian Gongol DJ Gongol & Associates, Inc. March 15, 2022 Nebraska Rural Water Association Annual Conference Kearney, Nebraska
- 2. Should we treat operators like customers?
- 3. Should we treat operators like customers? The question isn't nearly as stupid as it may sound
- 4. After all, most operators are customers
- 5. But this is more of a business question
- 6. Specifically: When did it fall out of fashion to talk about protecting the lives and safety of water and wastewater workers, as if it were a top priority in the design and operation of public water and wastewater systems?
- 7. Don't forget your history There was a time when the American public marveled at the advancements in water-related sanitation because they still remembered how awful things were beforehand
- 8. Look at that lovely ornamentation
- 9. It's more than symbolic Even though much of the work related to that progress was far more dangerous than it is today, there was a sense that the people working in the sector were public heroes
- 10. Fort Dodge Messenger, 1905
- 11. That's five straight columns of water op/ed
- 12. Today's standards Should be: "How safe can we make this for operators?" Too often are: "How cheaply can we get this done while meeting the minimum standards from OSHA?"
- 13. Hard truth Things would look different if we authentically saw water-sector operators as essential community safety providers -- and treated them as well on the job as they treat their customers
- 14. How do we get to that state of mind?
- 15. Humanizing the value of quality spaces
- 16. Find the root cause
- 20. This is not about resenting the rich
- 21. This is not about resenting the rich But it is about the consequences of "out of sight, out of mind"
- 23. Surfside condominium collapse Everything looked good in the 1st class spaces (pool and lobby)
- 24. Surfside condominium collapse Everything looked good in the 1st class spaces (pool and lobby) People looked past the 2nd class spaces (parking garage)
- 25. Surfside condominium collapse Everything looked good in the 1st class spaces (pool and lobby) People looked past the 2nd class spaces (parking garage) 3rd class spaces were clearly ignored (pool mechanical equipment rooms)
- 26. The collapse killed 98 people ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰ ⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰⚰
- 27. We are shaped by our built environments
- 28. Spaces, classified (not classified spaces) (Of course, those matter, too)
- 29. 1st Class: Meant to be seen
- 30. 2nd Class: Not embarrassing, not noteworthy
- 31. Let's linger on 2nd Class, though
- 32. 3rd Class: Meant to be unseen
- 33. Comparative costs per square foot to build
- 34. Comparative costs per square foot to build Class A office space: $150 to $200/sf (and up) Residential: $150/sf (and up) Prefab: $125/sf Morton building: $75 to $125/sf Wooden barn: $30 to $45/sf
- 35. Cost comparisons It's not about the absolute cost you choose, it's about the difference between that and the least you could get away with -- the marginal cost.
- 36. Justifying the marginal difference
- 37. Justifying the marginal difference Quantify the cost of neglect: It's not cost-free to leave things unattended and under-maintained
- 38. Justifying the marginal difference Note the savings from better spaces: Fewer service calls Savings from performing work onsite Lower insurance risk
- 39. Justifying the marginal difference Recognize the implicit risk: Water and wastewater operators die in bad spaces every year, mostly for no good reason. This is a solvable problem.
- 40. Justifying the marginal difference Show the benefits: You wouldn't go to a dirty dentist's office, would you? You wouldn't expect an auto mechanic to repair your car outdoors in the winter, would you? You wouldn't expect the city council to meet in a dry pit, would you?
- 41. But spaces aren't the only factor that matters
- 42. QUERY: Who here is a volunteer firefighter?
- 43. Rescue the rescuer first Don't drown a lifeguard to save a swimmer
- 44. We rightly treat fire stations as a big deal Proudly featured (with good cause) on the website of OPN Architects
- 45. Fire stations are centerpieces
- 46. Things are different when people are watching
- 47. Things are different when people are watching Why do Chicago fire stations look good? The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 permanently set high community expectations
- 48. Broken-down fire equipment? Unthinkable.
- 49. Broken-down fire equipment? Unthinkable. This is maintenance and upkeep you perform right in front of everybody
- 50. Fair equivalence WTPs, WWTPs, pump stations, and other facilities have to be at least at the fire department level of cleanliness, comfort, and utility
- 51. Water workers are front-line "rescuers"
- 52. Water workers are front-line "rescuers" Want to put hospitals into an instant crisis? Shut down drinking water and wastewater treatment.
- 53. That starts with safety
- 54. Can you guess the top OSHA citations?

- 82. Lots of emphasis on fires We go to all kinds of trouble to control fires: XP motors, combustible gas detection, intrinsically-safe devices, no-smoking zones... and it works
- 83. But fires aren't the only problem We need to put the same kind of emphasis into eliminating the other causes of workplace death
- 84. When was your last close call? Years? Months? Weeks? Days?
- 85. Test your situation Could you safely walk a competent temp through your job over a Zoom or FaceTime call?
- 88. Policies, procedures, & paper reveal priorities
- 89. Remember Not every space has to be First Class, but we shouldn't tolerate working in Third Class It's not the up-front cost that matters most, it's the life-cycle value Working spaces affect work quality Communities could make their pump stations and WWTPs "cool as s**t" if they wanted to Water workers are front- line pre-rescuers (can't fight a fire without water) We've nearly ended workplace fire deaths; let's halt other hazards
