Happy Blogiversary By Jordan Barab
Confined Space is one year old today. Taking a moment to pat myself on the back: Almost 900 pages, well over a quarter million words...and I'm still married and employed (for now).
And think of what's happened since Confined Space hit the web. One year ago today, George Bush was president, OSHA was sinking into irrelevancy and still hadn't issued its Tuberculosis or Payment for Personal Protective Equipment standards, most public employees weren't covered by OSHA, immigrant workers were dying and being injured in record numbers, American soldiers were dying in Iraq and weapons of mass destruction had yet to be found.
