Whooping Cough Cases on the Rise in Kentucky — the Highest Infection Rate in Eight Years
When I was a child, I was annually plagued with laryngotracheobronchitis. But since nobody has time to say that word, we'll use the more common term "croup." You could set your watch by it. In my pre-school days, I spent a good deal of time each year in what's known as a "croup tent." There I was, laying in bed, surrounded on four sides by kitchen chairs and covered with a blanket. My only company inside the makeshift enclosure was a humidifier and Vick's Salve. And that "croup cough" was a beast. It hurt; it sounded like a dog barking; and it was alarming to anyone who could hear it but couldn't see me.
Indiana framing contractor cited by OSHA for violations in Perrysburg
An Indiana framing contractor working on projects in Perrysburg faces nearly $200,000 in fines after federal workplace safety inspectors found the company exposing its employees to deadly risks of falls twice in less than two weeks in May, the U.S. Department of Labor reported Thursday. The company, MDM & Sons Construction LLC, faces $199,761 in proposed penalties. It was cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for similar violations in 2021, officials said. “MDM & Sons Construction continues its dangerous pattern of exposing its employees to the risk of serious injuries and death related to falls from elevation, the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry,” said Todd Jensen, OSHA Area Director in Toledo. “Federal law requires employers to provide and ensure the use of proper fall protection whenever people work at heights six feet or greater,” Mr. Jensen said. “If MDM & Sons Construction continues to ignore its legal responsibility to protect its workers’ safety, it may only be a matter of time before disaster strikes and an employee’s life is forever changed or ended. The company must act now.”
