Nope, that's just Federal. About half of the states have their own OSHA organizations, but I don't know much about how effective they are. In the northeast where I grew up most of the state-run OSHA orgs only dealt with state&#x2F

That's a good description of what my library does these days. Did a big doubletake at the row of printers the first time I saw 'em. They also lease out bigger tools (I borrowed a leaf blower and a string trimmer) and WiFi hotspots

OSHA inspectors really do take workplace injuries and safety seriously, regardless of how toothless the enforcement actions sometimes seem. The real problem is that there are about 2000 OSHA inspectors in the country, working out of about 1

If you're talking about a place, like where something is located, use 'premises'. 'On-prem' and 'Off-prem' are shorthand for "on/off the premises". If you're talking about a declarative

That he said it into a mic isn't a problem because it's discoverable, it's shocking because it suggests it wasn't an offhand comment, it was something he thought about before saying it out loud. Evidence entered into the

As do I. However, I'm also pretty happy that NHTSA mandated seatbelts be included in cars despite the fact that they were wildly unpopular.
