You know Rick - in 33 years of road construction, I only saw OSHA on the job one time. Bridge job - we were working without safety harness/tie line. They gave us a tune-up and the next day everyone was using the "proper" equipment, restrictive as it was. It seems that OSHA is interested in plant work more than outdoor/construction work.
