Now in its third edition, this popular Handbook has been your go-to
guide to the fundamentals of occupational safety and health law for
over a decade. This new edition provides an authoritative and
up-to-date reference that you count on for its reliable information
and straightforward explanation. Each chapter is written by a
highly respected attorney who is an expert in the field. Yet the
book is written without legal jargon, in plain English that anyone
can understand. In it, the authors provide interpretations of many
facets of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, review
regulations and standards governing employee protection, and offer
advice for dealing with regulatory authorities. The Handbook covers
all of the important legal aspects of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act with clearly written explanations of such issues as the
boundaries of OSHA regulations, general administrative law
concepts, and OSHA's enforcement tactics. It provides
"Practitioner's Tips"-useful legal guidance given by experienced
attorneys for complying with OSHA inspection regulations and
enforcing employers' and employees' rights during inspections. It
describes changes to the probable cause test under OSHA's "Warrant
Requirement." It also explains the legal and practical consequences
facing a business not contesting OSHA citations, OSHA's use of
"Monitoring Devices on Employees," and more. This new edition
covers major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard, new
enforcement initiatives, updated regulations in the construction
industry, new emergency response procedures, and more.
First published in 1998, this volume examines how in the 1980s
Australian governments experienced dramatic change in the
policy-making environment. The use of consultants by successive
Hawke Labour governments in the mid-to-late 1980s to facilitate
reviews of public policy was a strategy important to dealing with
the complexity of these issues. This book shows how the use of
policy consultants complements traditional policy-making processes
and the management of public policy change by government. In the
1980s Australian governments experienced dramatic and often
unprecedented change in policy-making environment. Moves towards
market-orientated, 'small' government in a context of worlds
economic liberalisation created new and challenging issues for
national governments. The use of consultants by successive Hawke
Labour governments in the mid-to-late 1980s to facilitate reviews
of public policy was a strategy important to dealing with the
complexity of these issues. Using insights from a range of public
policy literatures, the research investigated the hypothesis that
the use of consultants to review important policy areas could be an
effective strategy for devising major new directions needed in a
context of economic turbulence. In this situation, the book
suggests, use of policy consultants complements traditional
policy-making processes and the management of public policy change
by government.

Drug smugglers have claimed sections of the US-Mexico border as
their home turf, turning hundreds of square miles into a
no-mans-land for US citizens and a deadly gamut for illegal
migrants. A lack of political will has prevented any decisive
action to be taken to secure the area. That's about to change. . .
Returned from Europe after international pressure boiled up
over the way they secured the Russian chemical weapons dump, the
289th Engineer Group is sent to an isolated stretch of border in
New Mexico to serve out its tour of duty. All they thought they
would have to do is fix the fence and upgrade the road, but some in
their chain of command have other ideas. Sergeant Major Grant and
his NCOs are to secure the area, with permission to operate
secretly in Mexico. What they haven't been told is the Mexican
officer they are working with also controls the local drug trade,
and he has no plans to let the Americans succeed. It will take a
dangerous plan to take out the smuggling activity, and a lot of
luck to avoid starting a war.
