OSHA On The Prowl Again

A client of ours received a letter stating that OSHA is planning a new inspection initiative that will focus on enhanced enforcement in the engineered stone fabrication and installation industry. Upon reading the letter forwarded to us, I ventured onto OSHA's website (osha.gov) to see the section—follow the link to see their announcement: https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/09252023 Crystaline Silica is not cancerous.

The BEST holiday bonus to give to your crew

As a former owner of a remodeling company, I struggled with ways to say thank you to the men and women who committed themselves to our company, customers and hard, dangerous work. Perhaps many of you do as well. Cash is forgotten moments after you hand it out, increased benefits will fade after a paycheck or two, parties – well, we all know the plus and minus of those! I remember asking a spouse of one of [...]
