B~[.e._~y.~.~ OSHA
While putting up our Christmas Street Deco's this year, we were approached by a representative
from OSHA who did not like what she saw. This Rep. asked no questions but insisted that no
one get's into the buckets again or there will be a heavy fine. Barb did some research at CHS
and found out that the OSHA Rep had no jurisdiction as everyone was on a volunteer basis.
Barb also said that she will be speaking to the OSHA Director whom she knows personally and
will let him know of the incident and also get his input on the issue.
