Whenever advisable, ways to use organic waste to\n         provide fertilization or other useful benefits\n         shall be explored by the office of the State Farm\n         Administrator.\n\n   2. Carcasses of dead animals that are buried shall be\n      placed not more than eight feet--but not less than\n      three feet--below the surrounding surface. Disposal\n      shall occur within 24 hours of animal's death.\n\nM. Security\n\n   1. All farm staff in non-security positions shall be\n      acutely aware of the need for inmate security at all\n      times and shall support correctional officers in\n      security-related functions if it is necessary for the\n      maintenance of security. Said staff shall also\n      observe all facility rules concerning security in all\n      contexts, and shall seek clarification from\n      supervisors or correctional officers when in doubt\n      concerning some security aspect of the farm operation.\n\nN. Safety\n\n   1. All equipment shall be operated and maintained in\n      accordance with the federal government's Occupational\n      Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules and\n      regulations.\n\n   2. Before using equipment, inmates are to be instructed\n      as to proper operation, maintenance, and service.\n      Training sessions should be documented to include\n      inmate\u2019s name, identification number and instructor\u2019s\n      name.\n\n   3. Prior to applying chemicals, inmates are to be\n      instructed in the safe methods of use, and are issued\n      gloves, goggles, and other protective clothing as may\n      be required. The federal Worker Protection Standard\n      and OSHA rules and regulations regarding hazardous\n      chemicals shall be assumed to apply.\n\n```\n\n|Functional Area:<br>CORRECTIONS DIVISION/<br>FACILITIES OPERATIONS|Prev. Eff. Date:<br>12/15/02|Page 13 of<br>12|\n|---|---|---|\n|`Functional Area:`<br>`CORRECTIONS DIVISION/`<br>`FACILITIES OPERATIONS`|`Effective Date:`<br>`9/01/04`|`Reference Number:`<br>`IVM01-0001`|\n\n\n```\n      4. A shower area is designated and maintained at all\n         times for proper and adequate cleaning if so needed.\n\n   O. Repair Policy\n\n      1. No Farm equipment should be submitted to outside\n         sources for major repair without the consent and\n         approval of either the State Farm Administrator or the\n         State Farm Advisor.\n\n         This procedure is pertinent to any repairs which could\n         be generally assumed to cost $1,000 or greater. While\n         it is sometimes necessary to have repairs performed by\n         outside forces, all possibility that the repairs could\n         be performed at a Georgia Department of Corrections\n         Farm Services repair facility at a substantial savings\n         must first be eliminated.\n\nVII. RETENTION SCHEDULE:\n\n   Attachments 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 of this SOP will be kept locally\n   for one year in an active file and two years inactive. A copy\n   should be forwarded to the Central Farm Office to be kept for\n   one year in an active file and five years inactive, then\n   destroyed.\n\n```",
