Subs Want Employee
Accountability
SUBCONTRACTORS believe that employees should be held accountable for unsafe behavior on construction worksites, according to a survey of members of the American Subcontractors Association.
In a survey of more than 300 ASA members, representing a 60 percent response rate, 96 percent of the respondents said they support employees being held accountable for their actions on worksites, 7 percent were willing to allow OSHA to fine their employees for safety violations.
"With some workers, we find that no amount of training or equipment will make them work safer," said one respondent. "We need some way to make them pay attention to safety."
Of the 41 percent who had been cited by OSHA within the last three years, over 70 percent felt that an employee was directly responsible for the citation.
IMI Opens Campaign for
Masonry Library Funds
THE INTERNATIONAL Masonry Institute has opened a campaign to raise funds for what's expected to become the largest and best library of technical and nontechnical masonry materials in the U.S. and Canada.
IMI already has received its first donation in the campaign, a $10,000 gift from the Labor/Management Cooperation Committee of Detroit, an organization that fosters good labor relations between unionized trowel tradesmen in that area and contractors who employ them.
"The fund raising drive," said John T. Joyce, labor co-chair of IMI's board of trustees and president of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen, "is a significant step towards achieving one of IMI's long term goals: providing a comprehensive source of information about masonry needed by architects, engineers, public officials and others."
