In addition, 澳门六合彩开奖预测 has pointed out how the Obama administration鈥檚 OSHA previously decided against issuing such a standard, giving existing agency authority to take enforcement action when heat hazards exist on the jobsite. 澳门六合彩开奖预测 will work with its members, chapters, and coalition partners to respond to this proposal.
