WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Although there was a time when knowing one simple equation was all that was needed to calculate fall arrest clearance, a broad influx of new technology and new regulations for equipment has necessitated learning how to calculate clearance differently based on particular systems being used. This Webinar will take on this seemingly simple concept and illustrate how calculating clearance is changed based on the different "PFAS" equipment being used as well as give general guidance on systems utilizing energy-absorbing lanyards, SRLs, horizontal lifelines, and vertical lifelines.

ABC of Michigan secured an important victory for electricians when Gov. Rick Snyder (R-Mich.) signed industry-backed Public Act 73 of 2016 on April 5. The chapter advocated for the legislation, which will increase the ratio from one to three apprentices per one journeyman electrician through an amendment of the Electrical Administrative Act. State Rep. Amanda Price (R-Holland) introduced the bill in January 2016 in response to a 2008 court decision that lifted an injunction and allowed the previous one-to-one ratio to be implemented.

On April 12, ABC submitted comments in response to the U.S. Department (DOL) of Labor Wage and Hour Division’s proposed rule on establishing paid sick leave for federal contractors. The proposed rule requires certain federal contractors to offer employees up to seven days of paid sick leave annually, including paid leave for family care. The paid sick leave required by the proposal is in addition to a contractor’s obligations under the Service Contract Act (SCA) and Davis-Bacon Act (DBA). Therefore, a contractor may not receive credit toward its prevailing wage or fringe benefit obligation under the SCA and DBA for paid sick leave provided in satisfaction of the requirements of the proposed rule.

ABC urged the EEOC to withdraw the proposal because it imposes an unjustified burden on employers, fails to generate useful and reliable information to combat pay discrimination, and fails to protect the confidentiality of the information.
