Photo of the Month in the January 2011 Work Force. Representatives from the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) and management from Tarrytown and Yorktown participated in a weeklong train-the-trainer course on working in confined spaces. The workshop, taught by staff from the CSEA Occupational Safety and Health Department at the headquarters of Highland Hose Co. No. 1 in Lloyd, will allow participants to train co-workers on how to work safely in confined spaces. CSEA members Anthony Ruggiero Jr. and John Kelly died on Labor Day in Tarrytown after apparently succumbing to fumes in a manhole. The Village of Tarrytown had not offered proper confined space training to its work force. CSEA recently conducted similar trainings across the state.
