In this episode, construction law expert Trent Cotney, partner at Adams and Reese, breaks down what roofing contractors need to know about OSHA's new heat initiative.

The families and friends of fallen workers and organizations will observe April 28 as Workers Memorial Day.

OSHA inspectors found crews working at tall heights with inadequate fall protection at two separate job sites within 10 days of each other.

The Skullerz foam bump caps turns any hat into comfortable protection against bumps, scrapes and bruises.

ThermoPaks in the front and back of the StaCool Vest provide hours of cooling, ideal for occupations and industries working in high heat environments.

After continually refusing to correct fall hazards, OSHA took the rare step of posting an imminent danger notice at a jobsite in Maine.

Through the program, OSHA will conduct heat-related workplace inspections before workers suffer preventable injuries, illnesses or fatalities.

Injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents must be recorded in an OSHA 300 log in certain circumstances, according to a letter from OSHA.

The campaign will raise awareness of the dangers of heat stress on the jobsite in advance of National Heat Awareness Day on May 27.

OSHA found the contractor failed to provide fall protection equipment to workers on November, about six months after the contractor’s last citations.
