I saw contractors pouring concrete in San Antonio the other morning.

I looked at the temperature on my truck's message center and it read 18 degrees outside.

OSHA will send in an investigator, then a structural engineer. After a full investigation a report will be written, rewritten then watered down and then a $1500.00 fine will be issued for failing to comply with the General Duty Clause.

IF you think I am joking, I have already been there when a 22 year old custodian was killed in a building collapse of a building that was nearly finished construction.
