What is the Federal Regulation for maximium number of students in a classroom? Is there an OSHA (or other federal agency) regulation or guideline for the maximum allowable number of students, for one class, in a middle school classroom? Thanks!

Can Cal/OSHA cite us for something that OSHA does not require us to have? Cal/OSHA came in and cited us for a few things. Our corporate office is in Virginia. All policies and programs originate from there. For example, our Hazard Communication Program is not identical to what Cal/OSHA says needs to be in the program. It is my understanding that federal OSHA overrides state laws and regulations. So, can Cal/OSHA cite us for something that OSHA does not require us to have?

Where can I specifically find the OSHA Regulations for bathroom breaks? There is a situation at my workplace where employees are fighting to get lunch breaks and bathroom breaks on a daily basis. Some employees are lone employees working anywhere from 4 to 8 hours per day alone, at a kiosk store. My location is also considered a kiosk store. I am in Georgia, in the USA. I have dealt with the same thing - working some days 2pm to 10:15pm alone, with a single lunch break halfway through and sometimes only a single restroom break apart from that lunch break. I've had to call multiple locations and hunt down a lunch break or bathroom break, and even then someone at another store with two people still didn't really want to come down. The employee is quite interesting. They don't seem to think there is anything wrong with this. They have no real 'floater' that goes from store to store, other than the Area Manager and Regional Managers; and they are not going from store to store on the same day. They may have around x store on x day and then x store on x day, but it's not consistent. I called and spoke with an OSHA representative, and he said that's a violation. However, I'm a little concerned about some things. Particularly, I find a lot of vague, unstable material on the OSHA website when searching for bathroom break related material. Trying to find even "regulations" on bathroom breaks is hard. I think I speak quite fairly and frankly when I say that everyone has to pee every 2-3 hours at least. The area that I work in (in a federal airport) is a very dusty place. I have allergies and my throat hurts a lot of the time, especially when it gets dry. The people at the corporate office don't have to worry about this - their bathroom is right there in their office. We're in a freaking airport concourse. the Georgia Department of Transportation recently made a rule to where the company gets fined if we close the store gate to go to the restroom. So the company doesn't want us to do that, but doesn't want to provide 2 employees a lot of the time, either. What can I do? I'm a little scared to make an OSHA complaint and then have them go out "on a good day" and do an inspection to find that one or more stores happen to have more than one employee at that time; then I would look like an idiot and like I falsified what I said. Apparently there are two types of OSHA action - OSHA can call the corporate office and tell them via phone, but I'm not sure if that would be documented and helpful to me if the company retaliated. Supposedly, according to a lawyer that I talked to briefly just to ask, he said that if they took any action against me (after the OSHA complaint) that I could theoretically sue them because OSHA protects with a whistleblower protection of some sort. What can I do? I'm trying to leave this place, but they are making it incredibly difficult for me in the process. Until I get another job, it's irritating. Also, even after I leave, this is an ongoing problem for other employees. And pardon that typo. It was supposed to say "The employer is quite interesting." Maj. T.J. "Snark King" Kong - you must have some really damaged kidneys and dirty blood. That's unhealthy. http://ehso.com/cssdol/dolbreaks.php Also, take a look at what this says about bathroom breaks, towards the bottom. What is this talking about, then?

How can the Federal Government be reorganized and trimmed to reduce duplication of effort with states? Examples; Dept of Education is one of four administrative levels plus non-profit researchers. Also, OSHA and other agencies have regulations that conflict with State regulations; leading to complex compliance and reporting problems.

Is there a law (OSHA?) that requires at LEAST 2 people to be in a shop for safety reasons? Not really sure where to look, was browsing OSHA website but didn't really fine anything. In a mechanics shop, i'm assuming there is some sort of federal regulation where there needs to be AT LEAST 2 people in a shop at all times due to safety reasons. Anybody know of this? Well, for instance... a mechanics shop with hydraulic lifts and stuff. You'd think that there would be a regulation that prevents there from being one person alone in a shop & around heav/dangerous equipment. (i.e. 1pm every is gone for the day, and one guy stays til 3, is taking a transmission out and it falls on his hand.. no one else in shop to help/hear) make sense...?

define: political science? Tell me how at least one of these federal regulatory agencies directly affect your daily life. Doesnt have to be one listed.

Will the Feds Bust Santa Claus? Will the Feds Bust Santa Claus? by George Getz (former Director of Communications for the Libertarian Party) When Santa Claus comes to town this week, he'd better watch out -- because the federal government may be making a list of his crimes (and checking it twice), the Libertarian Party warned today. "Hark the federal agents sing, Santa is guilty of nearly everything," said Libertarian Party press secretary George Getz. "The feds know when Santa's been bad or good -- and he's been bad, for goodness sakes." Does Santa belong in the slammer? Instead of stuffing stockings, should he be making license plates? Yes, said Getz, if he's held to the same standards as a typical American. For example: Every December 25, the illegal immigrant known as Santa Claus crosses the border into the United States without a passport. He carries concealed contraband, which he sneaks into the country in order to avoid inspection by the U.S. Customs Service. And just what's in all those brightly colored packages tied up with ribbons, anyway? The Drug Czar and Homeland Security want to know. Look at how this international fugitive gets around: Santa flies in a custom-built sleigh that hasn't been approved by the FAA. He never files a flight plan. He has no pilot's license. In the dark of night, he rides the skies with just a tiny bioluminescent red light to guide him -- a clear violation of traffic safety regulations. Pulling Santa's sleigh: Eight tiny reindeer, a federally protected species being put to hard labor. None of these reindeer have their required shots, and Santa's never bothered to get these genetically- engineered animals registered and licensed. It's no wonder: He keeps them penned outside his workplace in a clear violation of zoning laws. But Crooked Claus the Conniving Capitalist harms more than just animals -- he's hurting hard-working American laborers, too. Isn't Santa's Workshop really Santa's Sweatshop, where his non-union employees don't make minimum wage and get no holiday pay? Add the fact that OSHA has never inspected the place, and you have a Third-World elf-exploitation operation that only Kathy Lee Gifford could love. No wonder Santa is able to maintain his monopoly over the toy distribution industry: He's cornered the Christmas gift market. Santa dares to give away his products for free in a sinister attempt to crush all competition -- just like Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Antitrust Lawsuit Memo to the feds: Is Santa Claus the Bill Gates of Christmas? The bottom line, said Getz: "It might be tough sledding for Jolly St. Nick this Christmas if the government decides to prosecute him. "We're just surprised it hasn't already happened. After all, Santa Claus is everything that politicians aren't: He's popular, reliable, and gives us something for nothing every December 25th -- instead of taking our money every April 15th," says Getz http://www.lp.org/blogs/andrew-davis/will-the-feds-bust-santa-claus

What is the conservative obsession with deregulatory knock out punches? Allowing people to buy insurance across state lines: Nothing to do with increasing competition since health insurance providers have branches in multiple if not all States. In fact it has nothing to do with access to health care. Its a shrewd move to bypass the health care regulations of all 50 States in one fell swoop. Lowering corporate taxes: Nothing to do with bringing corporations to the US as all other factors will remain the same; also their are enough loop holes that corporations don't pay anywhere near the corporate tax rate. It may allow elimination of company personnel who's job it is find these loop holes so as to give more money to shareholders, but the ultimate goal is to eliminate corporate taxes or lower them enough to encourage workers to form one person corporations to destroy traditional employment and OSHA etc in the process. Scaring people into putting all their money into gold: When gold's value tops they won't be able to sell meaning they won't be people to get their money out of their gold. This is intended to create a crisis where savers will want the government to allow gold as currency, so as to destroy fiat currency and the federal government. What is the conservative obsession with tricky large scale regulation bypasses?

Why is the bill so.. hated? "This morning, I woke up to my radio alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly run by a state agency and supported by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility with its quality monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the Federal Communication Commission regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I got into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service (USPS) and drop the kids off at the public school. After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department. I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA) and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how the government better keeps its hands off my Medicare and to remind everyone that SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right." Now, if you read all that, you would notice that the government already regulates much of our everyday life. What is so bad about them regulating healthcare? Depending on where you get your information, it will increase or decrease our debt (our debt has been increasing since Reagan, and now it's getting attention, since people are losing jobs and the economy took a hit). I don't understand how you can blame Obama, for amassing a debt such as this. It's quite obvious he hasn't done much to help the situation as of yet, but it's not like he will be leaving office in one month. The Healthcare Bill will take time to reach it's full potential (which is SO FAR from what it could have been), and only time will tell if it will have paid off. I'm sorry for the wall of text, and I'm certain people will disagree, but I'm sure that people are okay with sharing opinions. So really, why is the bill hated? Why can't people take the time to see if it works?

A lot of people say that OSHA doesn't cover bathroom breaks or lunch breaks. http://ehso.com/cssdol/dolbreaks.php This seems to be something related to the Department Of Labor. Yet people claim that the DOL doesn't do anything about lunch breaks or typical breaks, either. I've been on the phone with the "Wage and Hourly Division" of the DOL - it got me nowhere so far. So what is this link talking about concerning bathroom breaks, at the bottom? Why is that there and mentioned, if they do not cover such things?
