For construction supervisors, managing construction site safety comes with the territory. In some instances, the risk associated with project delays and liquidated damages may make some supervisors or construction managers skimp on safety training.Often, there is the general belief that safety training is important, but is simply common sense and something that most workers are familiar with. Under this flawed belief, managers who are under pressure to meet project deadlines might cut safety training short in exchange for more hours of actual work. While skimping on safety training may seem like a good idea, it rarely is and can result in significant liability for the general contractor and even the property owner.CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENTS ARE COMMONEveryone in the construction industry knows that the work can be dangerous. However, to better illustrate the real danger, contractors should look to studies conducted by the Bureau of Labor and other reporting agencies. In 2015, the Bureau of Labor reported more than 4,800 worker fatalities, a large percentage of which involved construction workers. According to the 2015 report, fatal injuries among construction and extraction occupations rose by two percent to 924 cases in 2015—the highest level since 2008. In fact, several construction occupations recorded their highest fatalitytotal in years, including construction laborers (highest since 2008); carpenters (2009); electricians (2009); and plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters (2003). Keep in mind that these statistics only involve fatalities. There are tens of thousands of injuries that occur every year. The principal causes of worker deaths and other injuries on construction sites are falls, being struck by an object, electrocution, machinery and being trapped between objects and/or walls.THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT OF 1970Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA), workers in the U.S. have a right to a safe workplace. OSHA gives workers the right to file confidential complaints and to have their workplace inspected. OSHA also provides workers with the right to receive training and information to prevent workplace injuries and fatalities.While OSHA provides rights to workers, it also obligates employers to provide proper and sufficient training and to perform tests to determine if the worksite is safe. There are a number of administrative fines and penalties associated with failing to comply with OSHA. Compliance fatalities and serious injuries can subject the contractor and owners to liability. Violations of OSHA can, in certain circumstances, be used to support a negligence or wrongful death claim.RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORKER SAFETYIn general, maintaining a safe worksite falls on the shoulders of the general or prime contractor. The duty of care owed by the prime contractors is not easily shirked. In fact, according to OSHA Safety and Health Regulations for Construction, “in no case shall the prime contractor be relieved of overall responsibility for compliance with the requirements of this part for all work to be performed under the contract.” Basically, this means that the general or prime contractor is responsible to the safety of the workers and the general condition of the site.In some cases, prime contractors, in their subcontract agreements, seek to pass along liability for site and worker safety to subcontractors. OSHA indicates that “to the extent that a subcontractor of any tier agrees to perform any part of the contract, he also assumes responsibility for complying with the standards in this part with respect to that part…With respect to subcontracted work, the prime contractor and any subcontractor or subcontractors shall be deemed to have joint responsibility.” While this may make the subcontractor partially responsible, it arguably does not eliminate the prime contractor’s responsibilities. In fact, it clearly creates a joint responsibility for both.POTENTIAL HAZARDSThe construction industry is littered with a wide array of potential hazards. The main hazards in the construction industry include:falls from height;falling objects;exposure to dangerous substances;carrying heavy loads;dust inhalation;injuries from machinery;working in confined spaces; andmotor vehicle accidents.THE BENEFITS OF PROPER SAFETY TRAININGMany of the common construction hazards can be contained or avoided if proper safety training is provided. Aside from the obvious benefit of keeping workers safe, a safe workplace will reduce overall construction costs. For example, proper safety training can reduce insured losses, administrative penalties/fines and litigation and attorney’s fees.Regardless of delays or looming deadlines, safety training should never be viewed as a disposable task. It is critical that each and every employee, even seasoned veterans, attend safety meetings and training on a regular basis. Just the simple fact that regular meetings keep safety on the minds of employees can be beneficial. Managers and supervisors need to invest the time in providing relevant and useful safety instruction and guidance. By making safety a priority, contractors can significantly reduce worksite injuries and deaths.Article Source: Construction Exec

well, first of all not all suppliers tend to do these fraudulent work! but few of them does, as we know alibaba is the largest B2B market place,There are millions of suppliers listing millions of products on Alibaba. Finding suppliers is easy, the hard part is selecting the right one.The most dangerous obstacle in your path to the perfect supplier are the ocean of scammers and middle-men.Luckily, it’s not too difficult to avoid these low lives.Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on avoiding scams, middle-men, and fraud on Alibaba.Step 1 – Review the Company ProfileThe Company Profile consists of information both verified and unverified by Find quality Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters, Importers, Buyers, Wholesalers, Products and Trade Leads from our award-winning International Trade Site. Import & Export on alibaba.com. For an untrained eye, this short list of information might seem to be completely irrelevant to the purpose of the visit, which is to find the right products. However, you can get a good idea about whether this company is worthy to include in your sourcing process by analyzing the points listed below:Company name(Note – Applies to companies registered in Mainland China only)City: Small and medium-sized companies have the city they are located in as part of their company name. For example, “Ningbo Everbright Trading Co., Limited”.Province: Larger companies can be named after the province where they are located. For example “Zhejiang Everbright Trading Co., Limited”.Business TypeManufacturer: This indicates that the supplier is only selling products it manufactures. A manufacturer is limited by its production line, set-up and tooling. For this reason, manufacturers tend to be highly specialized in their field of products.Trading Company: Some Trading Companies are independent while others own, or are owned by, a manufacturing company. While everybody wants to cut out the middleman, one has to keep in mind that many factories in Asia have neither the knowledge nor resources for exporting their produce. This function can then be filled by a Trading Company. On the other hand, some Trading Companies offer no added value and will only raise your costs.Manufacturer & Trading Company: Many factories have expanded their operation by not only selling and marketing products made in their own facilities, but also by trading similar products manufactured by other factories. While this Business Type indicates that the company is indeed a manufacturer, you cannot be sure whether they are manufacturing or subcontracting your products. So it’s tough to be sure if this supplier is a good choice or not.Management CertificationQuality issues is a serious risk when importing from China. In fact, you’re more likely to lose money due to quality issues then getting scammed. Quality issues can never be completely eliminated, but they can be minimized if the supplier applies a Quality Management System (QMS) such as ISO9001.Even multinationals such as Boeing and Toyota have quality issues. A “good manufacturer” is not a manufacturer that is completely free of quality issues, but one that is continuously monitoring quality during production. You know it’s time to walk away from a Chinese supplier when they claim to be completely free of defective and damaged products.When a defective product is discovered, the supplier should have a routine for how it should be managed. Some suppliers remake, others repair. The most important thing is not how they deal with defective products, but that their employees know exactly what do to when something goes wrong.ISO compliance require more than having a quick check up before the products are packed and shipped. The supplier is required to inspect incoming raw materials and components before production, set up inspection stations during productions and do final inspections after production.Some products require stricter quality assurance than others. These products have a low error tolerance and a mistake at one production stage can ruin a whole order. If you are importing “complex products” such as electronics or mechanical equipment, a Management Certification should be a basic supplier requirement.Registered AddressCity, Province: Many cities in China are highly specialized in one or more industries. If you are sourcing consumer electronics for example, you will discover that Shenzhen, Guangdong, is very dominant. A manufacturer is dependent on the surrounding support industries such as logistics, component suppliers, raw material suppliers and labor. For this reason, a supplier that is based in an industrial cluster is likely to be more competitive than a supplier that is not.Legal RepresentativeThe Legal Representative is the only employee who can sign agreements on behalf of the company. Make sure that he or she writes a signature on any Invoice or Sales Agreement, along with the company stamp.Registered capitalIndication of company size: Companies with less than RMB 500.000 [around US$ 80,000] should be avoided if possible. This is the strongest indicator of the supplier’s scale of operations. The more capital they have, the more likely they are to care about their reputation. Also keep in mind that even the most reliable supplier cannot compensate you for defective or damaged products if they don’t have the resources (money) to do so.Foreign Currency Capital: Indicates that the company have foreign investors, which usually is a mark of quality. The currency invested can also give a hint about where the investor comes from;Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) indicates that the investors are from Hong Kong. These guys has been exposed to international trade since the place was founded by the Brits back in the 19th century.United States Dollars (USD) indicates that the foreign investors are… well, foreign. European, Asian and Latin American investors also tend to stick to the dollar for their investments in Chinese companies.Taiwan New Dollar (TWD)Step 2 – Review Other Company CertificationsFirst, why this is important…Some products need to be compliant with a predetermined national and/or market standard. Different standards apply to different products, and it’s always the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the imported products are compliant. Most products won’t require this; but if you’re thinking about buying a product in bulk, you might want to research and make sure.The “Other Certification” link can be found under “Company Certification”.Certification compliance is not mandatory for Alibaba suppliers, so don’t be surprised if many suppliers don’t have any “Other Certification” page at all.Key FactsCompliance requires more than testing; products need to be produced with specific materials and components. If you don’t clearly specify that your products must comply with a certain standard before you place the order, the products will not be compliant.Far from all suppliers in Asia have the knowledge about which and where certain product standards apply, even less have the capability to actually manufacture products that comply with European and/or North American product standards.Many suppliers seldom update their Company Profiles. If you have a hard time to find suppliers with the right certification listed in the “Other Certification” page, then send out a message and ask them directly whether or not they can comply with the required certification standard. It’s quite common that suppliers can offer more than what’s shown in their Alibaba profile.An easy way to find compliant products is to type in the Product name and the certification standard in the Alibaba product search. [E.G. Mp4 player + CE]Action ListResearch which product standard is required for your product in your country and/or market.Review the “Other Certification” page.Are any of the product standards listed?– If not, review the product description and the company introduction. Some suppliers that have test reports available are not uploading them to the “Other Certification Page”.Step 3 – Review Supplier’s Product Selection/NicheThere has been a lot of focus on paperwork in this article, but what you’re looking for is products.An Alibaba suppliers product catalog can give you a lot of information, and it’s the most important factor when selecting a supplier. The golden rule is to find a supplier that is specialized in manufacturing or trading a certain product. Product specialization comes with a number of benefits that will have a large impact on your business.ChecklistIs your product mentioned in the supplier’s company name?This is a strong indication that the company was registered for the sole purpose of manufacturing the product you are sourcing. [E.G. Shenzhen Golden Watch Factory Co., Ltd].Is your product making up the majority of the supplier’s product catalog on Find quality Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters, Importers, Buyers, Wholesalers, Products and Trade Leads from our award-winning International Trade Site. Import & Export on alibaba.com?It’s a strong indication that the supplier is highly specialized in manufacturing and/or trading the products you are searching. A supplier that is highly specialized in a certain product is more likely to be better at managing the quality standard and offer more customization options. It can also affect the pricing since they buy large volumes of materials, components and tooling that is used only for the manufacturing of your product.You’ll also want to grow with your supplier and a supplier with only a limited product selection will prevent this from happening.Is the supplier listing products that are completely different from the type you’re looking for? [e.g. Wrist Watches and iPhone cases]The factories of the real world are not like Santa’s Workshop where anything imaginable is manufactured. You can’t use the same workforce or tooling for the manufacturing of both 3D Printers and Polyester Ties. This matters because you should not deal with a disorganized and opportunistic supplier selling a little bit of this and a little bit of that.An “opportunistic” supplier is also more likely to discontinue products than a professional manufacturer. The result could be disastrous since you’re left without products to sell to your customers. This is especially dangerous if you’re selling products to retailers where reputation and reliability is everything.

Hello!I know this one for you…Unsurprisingly, Trump’s way off, again! Republicans have concocted a message of their own that they repeat endlessly: Do-nothing congressional Democrats have failed to work across the aisle or to generate any useful legislation since Trump arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.This flat-out fabrication is no surprise coming from the man of 15,000 lies and his evil, Republican toadies. And, as disinformation specialists know so well, repeat a lie often enough and a certain portion of the populace will believe it’s true. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and that obviously can be enough to achieve whatever scheme you have in mind. Saying Democrats have not done anything can act like an ad jingle, permanently engraving BS on the brain of fooled people.But as always, I’ll provide you the facts and figures. Below is a linked list of bills the House had passed as of Dec. 5, 283 of which Democrats call “bipartisan.” To get that label, a bill only requires a single vote from across the aisle, and a few of these bills only received one. But some received overwhelming Republican support in the House. This makes no difference to McConnell.Of the 383 bills that have been passed by the House, 82% are still bottled up in the Senate. This list does not include House resolutions. If you click here, you can see bills and resolutions that have passed the House and the Senate and become law, bills that have passed the House and the Senate and are awaiting action by the White House, and bills that have passed the House and are awaiting action in the Senate.LIST OF BILLS PASSED BY THE HOUSE AND AWAITING ACTION IN THE SENATESource: Search Bills in CongressExamples of Bipartisan House Bills Stalled in the Senate Include:H.R.5, Equality ActH.R.6, The American Dream and Promise ActH.R.7, Paycheck Fairness ActH.R.8, Bipartisan Background Checks ActH.R.9, Climate Action Now ActH.R.987, Protecting People With Pre-Existing Conditions/Lowering Drug CostsH.R.582, Raise The Wage ActH.R.397, Rehabilitation For Multiemployer Pensions Act (The Butch Lewis Act)H.R.1585, Violence Against Women Reauthorization ActH.R.1644, Save The Internet ActH.R 2722, Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) ActH.R.2513, The Corporate Transparency ActH.R.1112, Enhanced Background ChecksH.R.1994, Secure Act/Gold Star Family Tax Relief ActH.R.205, 1146, 1941 – Banning Offshore Drilling on Atlantic, Pacific, Eastern Gulf & ANWR CoastsH.R.1423, Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) ActMore than 30 bills to support veteransOther Examples of Bills Stalled in the Senate that Democrats Support:H.R.1, For The People ActH.R.4617, Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) ActH.R.1500, Consumers First ActThe first 283 are “bipartisan.” The final 32 were supported by Democrats only.H.R. 648: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (10 Republican Votes)H.R. 21: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019 (7 Republican Votes)H.R. 2440: Full Utilization of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Act (79 Republican votes)H.R. 693: U.S. Senator Joseph D.
