I remember sitting on the Interstate in BR when they helicopter lifted the AC onto the roof of the Kohls off I-10. Blanketed the whole interstate in dirt/dust.
I would love to see protesters in the middle of that shitshow.

Federal OSHA neither has regulations, nor jurisdiction, over State, municipal, or volunteer fire departments. Section (3)(5) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 specifically excludes Federal OSHA's authority over employees of State and local government. The Act provides for States to assume responsibility for occupational safety and health programs under the State's own plan, which must be approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. Each State-plan must include coverage of public employees of the State, and it must be "at least as effective" as Federal OSHA's protection of private sector employees.

Wrong. It doesn't apply to Federal Government Entities, citations are issued but fines are not assessed, plus if this is being conducted by a contractor, they wouldn't fall under that protection even if it did exist.

im telling you, they're using a helicopter
There is no other way to get a crane big enough down there in this short of time. They would have to take down the all the street car cables and then set up the crane

Federal OSHA applies to private sector workers. It does not cover state and local government
employees. States may opt to run their own state OSHA programs instead of being covered
by the federal government, but state programs approved by federal OSHA must cover
both the private sector and state and local government workers.
Twenty-two states have federally approved OSHA programs that cover public employees (AK, AZ, CA, HI, IN, IA,
KY, MD, MI, MN, NV, NM, NC, OR, PR, SC, TN, UT, VT, VA, WA, WY). Four states
CT, IL, NJ, NY and the Virgin Islands have federally approved state programs that apply
only to state and local government workers, and private sector workers are covered by federal
OSHA.
Approved state OSHA programs must be at least as effective as the federal program
and provide similar protections for workers.
Several other states administer job safety laws that cover only state and local government
workers that are not federally approved. A number of other states have “Right-to Know”
(R-T-K) laws that require employers to provide information and training to state and local
government workers about hazardous chemicals used on the job.
Federal workers are covered by their agencies under a Presidential Executive Order. Federal
agencies (except for the U.S. Postal Service) must maintain an effective safety and health
program that meets the same standards that apply to private employers. Federal agencies,
except the U.S. Postal Service, cannot be fined for violating health and safety standards.

They did for us. We were working on a city job where the contractor declined to get a shoring/bracing plan for underpinning under a building and OSHA showed up and stopped all construction. They fined every person on the job site in addition to all contractors.
The city workers may or may not be fined but all contractors would be.

They do not if the state has its own arm of OSHA, which Louisiana does not, once again as I have said they cannot issue fines but OSHA can write citations to government entities and shut down jobs. Plus this work is being performed by a "contractor" and not government employees so they fall under OSHA guidelines unless a Mitch is telling a lie about no public resources being used.

Since when did NOPD and NOFD become a private contractor?

Cool! Maybe they'll drop it on mitch's arse and squash his shite for brains everywhere.

that was the point. B&G is operating the crane then by definition they are a contractor and can be fine by OSHA, so unless they are leasing the equipment to the City of New Orleans, and it is being ran by a government employee (which can still be shut down by OSHA) then OSHA can issue heavy citations and fines. OSHA wants no part of this because they don't want to be labeled racists which proves they only care about the employee when it is beneficial to them.
