A few odds and ends that will help us go into battle together.
NIOSH
I want to publish more about the real impact that the elimination of NIOSH will have on workers, as well as the impact on NIOSH employees’ lives and careers. I’d like to hear from anyone employed by NIOSH or who uses the materials or services of NIOSH. You can email me here (confinedspace2017@gmail.com), use the comments below or, if you’re worried about confidentiality, contact me on Signal, which is a (recently famous) encrypted messaging app.
Confidential Information
If bad things are happening at OSHA or NIOSH that haven’t made the news, but are important to publicize or evaluate, you can contact me confidentially using Signal.
Subscriptions
Around 20% of my subscriptions mysteriously disappeared the other night. (Elon, is that you?) If you are a subscriber and normally receive emails – and did NOT get a Confined Space email around 7:00 this morning – you may have been dropped. I’m looking into the problem, but in the meantime, you may want to resubscribe.
Should we be concerned about inspection and violation information disappearing from an OSHA office that is closing? Or otherwise?
