D-handled Rivet Buster. Pinch hazard.
A reminder to members working with “D” handled rivet busters. When you get working in tight quarters, it is too easy to get your hand pinched between a piece of steel and the handle. Be careful out there.

Pine River Update Oct 8, ’19
The health department is inspecting mice infestation at the camps.
Good afternoon,
Your complaint regarding mice at Hasler Camp 24 and Little Prairie Lodge was forwarded to me for follow-up. I will visit Little Prairie Lodge tomorrow and will also contact the operator of Camp 24 to arrange a re-inspection if necessary (the photos you’ve submitted may be sufficient).
I will contact you with my findings. If the worker experiencing a persistent cough hasn’t already, I would recommend they seek medical attention.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Ali Moore
Environmental Health Officer
