NIOSH - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Note that Maryland's OSHA program applies to public sector employees, too. (I'm assuming that the school is a public school.) Joe

The cadence of the last poem reminded me of one of my father’s favorites. TOMMY by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer, The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here." The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die, I...

And a compilation of weekly information about the results of just one mistake: Weekly Reports of Fatalities, Catastrophes, and Other Events Joe

Edinburgh’s a great place. I was there once, but not for the Fringe. Like John says, make your travel plans soon. Unless you plan to tour the countryside, don’t bother with a car rental. (Driving on the left tough enough.) I think you can get a train from Glasgow airport to Edinburgh...

Just to confirm what museav stated: OSHA is a federal law and therefore has legal weight (provided that the work situation is covered by the act – specifically employees in private workplaces). Many states have state OSHA laws and regulations which include the federal regulations and may also...

This may repeating what's already here but: The need for lists sounds like a stage manager’s mantra. You might check over at SMNetwork.org for lists that may fit what you are doing. For the dance studio that I used to volunteer for (not so much anymore, but that’s another story), I was in...

Just my initials plus my fraternity pin number. Joe

Another resource that is overlooked these days is your local library. With regional inter-lending agreements, you may have a great deal of information close at hand. Also, check the wiki Collaborative Article "theatre books" (but it’s a daunting list.) I’ve used The Stagecraft Handbook by...

I think you need to go back the original source of the list. As in the telephone game, that last item looks like it’s been garbled. (As it would seem the first and second items). [How about terrorist auks... :) ] Joe
