OSHA has proposed a delay in the electronic reporting compliance date of the rule, Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses, from July 1, 2017, to Dec. 1, 2017. The proposed delay in the deadline for submission of 2016 Form 300A data will give the new administration an opportunity to review the new electronic reporting requirements prior to their implementation and allow affected entities sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the electronic reporting system, which will not be available until August 1. OSHA also intends to issue a separate proposal to reconsider, revise, or remove other provisions of the prior final rule. OSHA will seek comment on those provisions in that separate proposal.
For more information, please see the news release and the public inspection version of the Federal Register Notice. The proposal will be published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2017. OSHA invites the public to comment on the proposed deadline extension by July 13, 2017.

 Construction companies have the benefit of building customer relations by word-of-mouth but where does it all start? By creating a memorable customer experience. A positive customer experience can lead to retention and growth and it’s especially important on the flip side. An unsatisfied customer is never good and could vocalize their feelings, potentially harming your company’s reputation.

Sal Alfano writes: This spring, my wife, Elaine, and I bought a home that needs remodeling before we can occupy it. We researched online and found a design-build company whose aesthetics, craftsmanship, and philosophy we liked. The day after closing, we met with them at the still-empty house for a walk-through, during which we discussed our goals for the project, design fees, scheduling, and other relevant topics.

 Want more likes, followers and engagement on your company's social media pages? Then, you need three things: gorgeous (on-brand) pictures, the right personality and an eagerness to socialize. In short, you need to cultivate a strategic brand personality and then bring it to life by connecting with your followers. Think about it. Individuals, not businesses, run the leading accounts on social. So, you need to act more like a human and less like a brand.

To price a job correctly, remodelers need to cover the cost of completing the project but also pay for operational expenses and fulfill their desired net profit. Expenses, or overhead, keep the business running no matter how many jobs the company sells and, thus, do not apply to any single project. Once remodelers comprehend their overhead, they can calculate their proper margin and markup.
