The first thing we wanted to share was a link to a cool website called Air Now, www.airnow.gov that tracks air quality across the U.S. in real time. It’s like Doppler Radar for air quality. Today for instance you could see that Atlanta, GA is going to be a rough place for people with allergies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OSHA is planning on publishing a final rule in August that will align the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It’s not clear what affect (if any) that alignment will have on the NFPA and HMIS chemical hazard rating and labelling systems. One issue of concern is that under GHS, numbers are used to rank hazards based upon their seriousness. ]]></description>

First, OSHA announced this week that it was fining both the University of Notre Dame and the Broadway production of Spider-Man; Notre Dame for the death of a student videographer who died while filming practice for the Fighting Irish football team and Spider-Man for a series of incidents that have injured several actors performing in the stunt heavy show.]]></description>
