when I first started in 1989 it was 14,261 a year and now mid 60's. Up in the East Coast and West coast it is considerably higher due to the cost of living. We currently have 2 female fighters and one of them had a baby last year and back at woork.

I work in retail supply chain as an EHS specialist. I am trying to find some clarity around the storage of certain household chemicals in a warehouse setting. Can I store Flammables and Oxidizers in the same room but separated by 20 feet?

Asked by BCH13 over 8 years ago

Pretty much no. OSHD Standard 1926.152 should have the clarification you need.
