This year Heather is running in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 10K race event in January 2014 to raise money to provide specially adapted homes for our severely injured veterans. PLEASE...

A common question I receive from clients/members is
“why do some of my facilities get RMP inspections from the Fed’s and others get inspected by the state; should I be prepared for both Fed and State to inspect a facility?”
The answer is based 100% on where the facility is located and NO, a facility will NOT receive an RMP inspection from both state AND feds; it will be either the...

They can either provide all of the required information that is on the label from the chemical manufacturer or, the product identifier and words, pictures, symbols or a combination thereof, which in combination with other information immediately available to employees,...

This week OSHA announced they issued a WILLFUL citation in the amount of $49,500 to a project general contractor of a power plant construction project. The citation was for allowing a worker to wear a tight-fitting respirator over facial hair while the worker removed lead-containing paint. Facial hair can encumber a respirator from being properly sealed, thus exposing the worker to lead...

Just imagine how much EASIER the task of moving this scaffolding would have been had the 200 pounds climbed down the 10′ to the ground and HELPED move the scaffold! This is NOT how you move mobile scaffold… the scaffold is “mobile” – NOT the worker on the scaffold!

A petroleum company has decided to aid users of their fuels with their smoking cessation efforts. They have even posted helpful reminders and motivators at their refueling stations. FYI… this was in South Africa as can be seen by the “Rands” on the pump.

The trailer was a 8-tube “tube trailer” which was parked at the site, the tractor detached, and connected to the “process”. EPA conducted an inspection on December 17, 2012, to determine compliance with Section 112(r) of the CAA, and the...

A few months back I posted an article about flammable liquid storage cabinets and I used this image in the article. After more than 5,000 views I thought I would ask the question… What’s wrong with the picture? Only four people have sent me an e-mail or phone call about the photo. Now this photo is merely a “marketing photo” for selling the cabinets, but some...
