SAFETY NEWS Reminder to Post Your OSHA 300 Summary Logs February 1st through April 30th 2017 OSHA reminds employers of their obligation to post a copy of OSHA’s Form 300A, which summarizes job- related injuries and illnesses logged during 2016. The summary must be displayed from February through April in a common area where notices to employees are usually posted. Businesses with 10 or fewer employees and those in certain low-hazard industries are exempt from OSHA recordkeeping and posting requirements. Under a new rule, many of the same employers will be required to electronically submit the 2016 data to OSHA by July 1, 2017. A page for submitting records electronically will soon be available. Visit OSHA’s Recordkeeping webpage for more information on recordkeeping requirements. Get recordkeeping forms 300, 300A, 301, and additional instructions. Read the full OSHA Recordkeeping regulation (29 CFR 1904). Help to Repeal OSHA Effort to Extend Statute of Limitations for Recordkeeping Violations, Fails to Improve Safety Urge Your Members of Congress to Support H.J.Res. 83 (Takes 30 Seconds to Complete) Soon, Congress will consider repealing a rule that exposes business owners to unfair liability for honest and inadvertent paperwork mistakes related to recordkeeping. The rule – which extends the statute of limitations on recordkeeping violations from six months to five and a half years – does not improve the safety or health of your company’s workers. The rule was issued by OSHA to get around a court decision involving a construction company that challenged an OSHA citation for a recordkeeping violation issued beyond six months. Two federal courts have since rebuked OSHA’s theory for issuing recordkeeping citations after six months. This rule, issued by the Obama administration in December, directly contradicts both the courts and Congress. Contact your members of Congress and urge them to support swift passage of H.J.Res. 83 to stop OSHA’s abuse of authority. 2017 National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week is April 3-7 To view Power Point Presentation click: 2017NWZSToolBoxTalk Alabama AGC, as part of the Alabama Struck By Alliance will participate in a National Safety Stand Down in recognition of National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week April 3-7, 2017.

    Investor Directory Thigpen Photography Believe in the Future For more than 25 years, the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce has led our region’s economic development efforts with impressive and undeniable results. Partners for Growth, Believe in the Future, the latest in a strong series of development campaigns, brings together a powerful coalition of public and private investors who believe in Mobile’s future, who build on its past triumphs, and who work to keep Mobile moving forward. Our economic development efforts have a strategic direction backed by funding from 160-plus business leaders, the City of Mobile and Mobile County, and led by a competent and dedicated professional staff. Mobile’s team approach is widely considered “best practice” by peers and professionals nationwide, and these efforts have garnered repeated top rankings from national and global publications and site selectors. Most importantly, the Mobile Area Chamber’s economic development campaigns have delivered significant return on investment by creating and retaining jobs, elevating incomes and salaries and diversifying our economic base. Since 2006, the Mobile Area Chamber’s Partners for Growth initiative has recruited 42 new businesses and assisted with 86 expansions at existing companies. These efforts resulted in $8.5 billion in capital investment and more than 17,400 jobs with an average annual salary of $49,998. Mobile captured the global business spotlight recently when Airbus selected the Port City for its only assembly site in the western hemisphere. Construction is underway on this $600 million project, and the first deliveries are expected in 2016.

Carl, District 3. __________________________________________________ Dena Pollard, Public Affairs Manager: Good morning, Commissioners. The first speaker is City of Mobile Council Member Bess Rich, District 6 to discuss the Nevius Road Extension. President Jerry L. Carl: Good morning, Council Member Bess Rich. How are you? Bess Rich, City of Mobile Council Member District 6: Good morning. I am terrific. Thank you so much. Thank you for this ability to address you about your agenda item dealing with Nevius Road Extension. On the City of Mobile’s City Council’s agenda for tomorrow is also the agreement. After much research and thought, I have concluded this is a very flawed process at this time. If you look at the agreement you have in front of you, and for those not familiar with Nevius Road, it is considered a major street by our pavement assessment. It is a street that gets a lot of use. When the City of Mobile annexed the area in 2008, they took on Nevius Road off of Hillcrest Road.

Thank you very much for Commissioner Carl to invite me. Commissioner Ludgood, I have not spoken with you in a while. My main purpose for being here today is to let you know that Pollee Allen was my great-grandfather. He had a daughter named Julia Ellis, who was my grandmother. A lot of people do not know that, so I wanted to make it clear today. We have a lot of people participating on this side of town since the Clotilda was found. When Sylviane A. Diouf came down in 2007, we interviewed with her. Miss Beatrice Ellis was the president at that time and she passed away in 2011. As the vice president, I assumed her role right after that.
