Re: Joseph comments concerning keeping pre-shift inspection records. As usual, he was correct but suggest emphasis be placed on what I call, "closing the loop." Any inspection that identifies a problem should (MUST) be paired with a follow-up work order showing that the discrepancy was corrected. Additionally, if you trash copies of the inspections, there should (MUST) be a written/documented document disposal program to support your company's document disposals. This shows that you didn't just trash the documents when you saw the OSHA compliance Officer walk through the front door. /s/ DIRTFT

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
