  • A group of 21 major apparel and footwear brands have released a plan for improving the industry’s environmental performance.
  • The National Institute of Standards and Technology — a federal technology agency that works with industry to apply technology, measurements, and standards — experienced an emergency crew response incident when an acid-based polish agent became an explosion hazard.
  • Oregon OSHA has cited an aircraft cleaning service contractor at the Portland International Airport for five serious health and safety violations. 
  • Construction workers involved in the current restoration of the Capitol Dome in Washington D.C. observed a safety stand down as part of OSHA’s second annual National Safety Stand-Down.
