US Coast Guard slams Deepwater rig’s safety culture

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) requires employers to comply with hazard-specific safety and health standards. In addition, pursuant to Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, employers must provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm. Emergency Preparedness Guides do not and cannot enlarge or diminish an employer's obligations under the OSH Act. Emergency Preparedness Guides are based on presently available information, as well as current occupational safety and health provisions and standards. The procedures and practices discussed in Emergency Preparedness Guides may need to be modified when additional, relevant information becomes available or when OSH Act standards are promulgated or modified.

The rate includes free self parking and free internet access. You may upgrade your room if you wish for additional fees. This reduced rate is valid as long as the block of rooms is unfilled. After that, you may be still able to negotiate the rate if the hotel, itself, is not filled or expected to be filled.
