Re: Essential Business? -- Watch out---OSHA is watching

If in your state fire investigation is deemed essential, watch out.
OSHA in several states are going around to places where people area gathered at work. They are introducing themselves and reaching out to shake your hand and hand you a card. If you accept or shake, they are punishing the victim for violating Governor's orders of 6 feet separation with a fine. In Oregon, several of my friends in different businesses were hit last week with $600 fines. I have also heard the same from several state employees whose partners are working in WA and CA states that this is happening down there too.
Make sure you are wearing your PPE, and practice 6 feet separation people. Be safe out there.
