VIDEO: Expect Ohio Train Derailments to Drive Regulation

While there are more regulations in place for railway safety in the United States than for fall protection, roofing contractors and others in the construction trade need to pay attention to these incidents and what happens in their aftermath, said RC Legal Insights expert Trent Cotney.
