Six months after an accident that resulted in a worker being paralyzed, OSHA has concluded its investigation into the incident and issued three citations against the employer, Ryan Roofing Inc. The worker is paralyzed after falling 20 feet from the roof of a commercial building the company was replacing on Oct. 3, 2012.

At 11 a.m. EST on April 10, OSHA and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the National Occupational Research Agenda Construction Sector Council will co-moderate a free webinar on preventing deadly falls in construction.

The situation is a common one: your workers need to be outfitted for a job in cold weather.

I had been warmly welcomed to South Africa. We were there to work with a mining construction company that wanted to solve their safety challenge. The challenge was immense.

It is evident that the traditional means of safety leadership are no longer working very well in the construction industry.
