The short summary is, Arizona (ICA/ADOSH) will need to enforce what’s in subpart M to retain its 18e status. You can ALL feel a measure of humble pride that we had a small part in this important milestone for our nation’s and state’s workers. As the...

OK I heard all of my international members who sent me e-mail about the Video of the Week #3 video. No I have nothing against Indians and no I was not poking fun at Indian Safety practices. As I said to each one of the dozens who took time out of their busy day to let me know, I rarely poke fun at any unsafe photo or video (notice I said rarely – not ever) and I never call out anyone’s...
