Brazos County commissioners approve modifying three buildings to provide employees access to roofs without using ladders.
The county’s purchasing agent, Charles Wendt, says the more than $451,000 dollar project will provide access stairways with winches next to the Brazos Center, the juvenile detention center, and the health district building.
Wendt said this followed an injury to a county employee who fell off a vertical ladder a couple of years ago.
Questions from commissioner Steve Aldrich about the project were answered by budget officer Nina Payne and Wendt.
