Thank you Alexandra for keeping this issue in people's minds. Lives lost cannot continue and with your help action is taking place!

"I'm envisioning this as more fact-finding than anything else". Great, that's what we need, more fact-finding and less action. When you find out the facts, are you actually going to take action? OSHA laws/rules and regulations are in place, it's the people running the local office that allow themselves to be influenced to drop or reduce citations/fines that are the problem. Clean house and start over! Maybe then we'll see some change in this valley.

Felicity,
I agree with you 100% and I am taking on the fight to see some changes happen at NV OSHA. I encourage everyone involved to file a CASPA with Region 9 Federal OSHA. I know some don't think that will help but its a place to start and might wake them up. If you're interested in becoming involved write to prevail4justice.com. United we stand......

While all the players sit around and try to decide who can do what to help the situation, it all comes back around to NV OSHA management, acting director and everyone else above him who cannot seem to enforce their own regulations and codes because they are too afraid to ruffle someones feathers. TAKE A STAND NV OSHA and protect the workers like you are suppose to do and start with holding these companies and people involved accountable for their actions! It can't be done with dropping or reducing blatent violations. You (NV OSHA) see a "troubling pattern..."?! Then STOP being so lax in exercising your duty to hold up and hold to your own Standards and SAVE some lives in the process. Nice concept isn't it?
