Andre is concerned...
OSHA IS OUT TO GET YOU
It seems far-fetched that OSHA would investigate salons for violations of workplace hazards, but they are. Just ask Don Westbrook of Elon salon in Marietta Georgia.
OSHA entered his salon without warning and promptly fined him $12,000 for allowing his
staff to mix haircolor without proper equipment. It turns out you are to wear a mask, goggles and gloves before mixing any haircolor. Needless to say Westbrook objected and eventually
OSHA lowered the fine to $1,200; but they required
Westbrook to provide all of the equipment necessary for his staff to mix haircolor.
So a supply of gloves, goggles and masks are on hand and a sign is posted to remind his staff to use all the necessary equipment.
OSHA reminded Westbrook that if he violates their rules, he could receive fines amounting to as much as $70,000. Don surmises that with construction slowing down, OSHA has nothing to do so they have to justify their existence by finding new sources of revenue. Let's hope construction picks up.
