Bryan, thank you so very much! I cannot tell you how valuable have been your insights and recommendations in my work with employers. I realize that among my responsibilities is the issuance of citations and monetary penalties; however, my district manager is committed to promoting increased awareness of employee health and safety through outreach and education with the regulated community. His primary goal is the elimination of hazards, rather than fattening government coffers. To that end, he strives to reach reasonable and fair settlements with employers who commit to abatement of unsafe conditions. Your articles provide excellent reference material as good engineering practice that I can pass along to the employers. Thank you for allowing me continuing access to your site.
