Nevada OSHA Boosts Work Site Safety

I have previously posted about articles in the Las Vegas Sun concerning the construction deaths in Las Vegas. The latest Las Vega Sun article, in this past Saturday's paper, reports that as of August 1st "Nevada will begin requiring contractors to place temporary flooring or safety netting beneath employees working on high-rise projects, the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced Friday."

I urge you to also read the comments at the end of the article.
