OSHA Standards for the Construction Industry as of August 2009 
This book contains the occupational safety and health standards for the construction industry promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), effective July 1, 2009.
In efforts to generate awareness about the damaging effects of methamphetamine abuse on individuals, families and American communities, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced that it will sponsor National Methamphetamine Awareness Day on November 30, 2006. In the time leading up to this special day, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and other federal agencies and partners have joined DOJ in its nationwide efforts to increase awareness about and decrease the demand for meth, a highly addictive and dangerous drug.
Meth use has erupted across the United States. Because most individuals who abuse drugs are employed, meth is becoming a serious safety and health concern for many employers. Through effective employment policies and practices such as drug-free workplace programs employers can take steps to protect themselves and their workers against meth’s negative consequences in the workplace.
Organizers of National Methamphetamine Awareness Day encourage employers, employees and other community members to recognize the event on and around November 30. A model educational presentation is on DOJ’s website and DOL’s website has resources to help employers and employees work together to keep their workplaces free of the hazards caused by worker use of meth and other drugs.
