Safe working conditions are required in every state. Check the government section of the phone book for your state office to find the specifics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSS

Hostile work environment, I'd go with that, or consider calling OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety.) Noxious gases and high levels of bacteria are cause for concern for the workplace, right?\n\nDid they pass out eye protection in your office?\n\nHow about Scott Air Packs or other respirators? Are they in easy reach of anyone who might require them?\n\nIs there an adequate alarm system? I suggest that rotating flashing lights above the bathroom door (warning the unwary not to enter) plus sirens and a loudspeaker announcing when it is safe to re-enter the workspace might be something to consider.\n\nWhat about running "fire" drills. If you see the Comptroller heading in the general direction of the loo, your health and safety officer is completely within his rights to pull the alarm and announce a general evacuation of the premises. Then he should conduct a role call at the designated meeting areas.\n\nIt might be wise to practice administering CPR (preferably on the prettiest women or guys, if that's your preference) \n\nIt might not be too extreme to demand that the Comptroller's favorite stall be marked off with biohazard tape and flooded with strong UV. Ask about installing a huge fan to whisk toxic fumes out of the building. In fact, an executive "washroom" with a special lock should be built just for this guy....\n\nIn the next county.

Actually, there is no such law. Your job is whatever your employer tells you it is...as long as the changes are reasonable. Now, if your employer suddenly told you that your job how included digging up the concrete driveway and you refuse, then you would have a case because it's not customary to the job.\n\nUS labor law considers this sort of situation an internal compensation matter between the employee and employer, and there is nothing that gives you any specific protection in this case. The only thing that could be done is to file a grievance with a union, but I'm guessing you aren't in a union.

Don't listen to the other guy that said yes "because he is an ohio firefighter."  He's obviously either mis-informed, not very smart, or like so many others, he is one to believe that because he thinks it should be that way, it must be so.  Ohio law is very clear regarding volunteer firefighters.  An employer cannot terminate an employee who serves his community as a volunteer firefighter/EMT for being late or absent from work due to being at an emergency requiring his/her services prior to starting work.  This law in no way states that an employee that is already at work may leave the work place to make a fire/ems run.  Some employers permit this practice but is purely out of their kindness and support of community as they are in no way required to do so.  See Ohio Revised Code section 4113.41 and you will see that the correct answer to your question is "No, they can't."  Thanks and stay safe!

I believe the law on this could be different from state to state.  However, in both West Virginia and Ohio (the ones with which I am familiar), you can cut the portion of the tree which is on your property (and ONLY the portion which is on your property).\n\nWord to the wise--why not just ask the owner of the tree about it in the first place?  Explain your reason for wishing to cut it and see if you can come up with an amicable solution first.  Life can be rough if you have a neighbor angry with you.  It is always best to treat your neighbor the way you would like for him to treat you.  If you had an "offending" tree that you didn't realize was offensive, wouldn't you rather that your neighbor kindly tell you about it first so you could offer to make things right in the first place?

It is a space such as a pit that has been declared to be non-hazardous for human occupation.  A worker can enter without getting a permit.  I occasionally enter confined spaces and it is a big deal.  We call the local fire department and they have a crew to stand by at the fire house in case they are needed.  To declare a space "non permit" it helpful to avoid this.

On March 24, 1837, the Ohio legislature passed the Ohio Loan Law of 1837. This legislation was designed to assist the building of additional canals within the state. It allowed the Ohio government to loan businesses one-third of the total costs to complete a project. The only requirement was that the business had to have raised two-thirds of the estimated cost before the state government would authorize a loan for the other one-third.\n\nAlthough the Loan Law was created to expand Ohio's canal system, in reality this legislation did more harm than good to the canals. Most of the loans granted by the Ohio legislature went to railroad companies, rather than to the canals. The Ohio Loan Law spurred railroad growth in the state. Canals now faced opposition from the railroads, and they quickly lost business to the faster railroad.\n\nWhile the Ohio Loan Law helped improve the state's transportation infrastructure, it also caused a great deal of harm in another way. Critics of this legislation commonly referred to it as the "Plunder Law," because the Ohio treasury's monetary resources declined greatly as a result of the law. The Ohio legislature loaned more money than existed in the state's treasury. As a result of these loans, the Ohio government had to borrow money to pay its expenses. By 1839, Ohio had a deficit of more than one-quarter of a million dollars. Most of this debt resulted from interest the state government owed to its creditors. In 1840, the Ohio legislature repealed the Plunder Law. The Ohio Loan Law had plundered the Ohio treasury, but it also had allowed for dramatic improvements in transportation with the state's borders.\n\nRandy

That all depends on the state. It is possible that there is such a law. There is not in Oregon (only within 200 feet of hospitals), but it wouldn't surprise me if there was one in some states.\n\nCalifornia state law only requires that smoking be prohibited in "enclosed workspaces." San Bernardino law restricts smoking within 20 feet of county property, but otherwise does not restrict smoking outside.

speaking of safety in a hazardous environment is very important, for instance, smoking is strictly prohibited inside an oil refinery, we know what it can result if a fire burst in such place, itll be a disaster.thus making it productive if we exercise safety first, not only in an oil depot or such, but in any place of work and almost everywhere.
