In February a bill to legalize, regulate, and tax non-smokable medicinal cannabis passed through the Alabama Senate on a 21-10 vote. Progress on the bill slowed after moving to the House. The medical cannabis bill passed both House committees it was assigned to in April.
On Tuesday the medical cannabis bill was set to receive a final vote on the floor of the House. Earlier that day, the bill easily cleared two House procedural votes by a vote of 69-31 and 71-20, to allow the bill to be brought to the House floor for a final vote. However, a handful of House lawmakers filibustered the final vote through speaking objections on the House floor. On Thursday morning the medical cannabis bill was again back on the House floor for another day of debate. The morning session started off with gusto, as both supporters and detractors appeared ready to fight with amendments, counter-amendments and impassioned floor speeches filling t

Of course, the talk should include more than discussion of the risks associated with these types of falls. It should also include discussion on how these falls can be prevented, i.e., your fall protection program, and any improvements to the program that might be considered.
You can promote the National Stand-Down with as much or as little fanfare as you wish. You can formally participate in the event by signing up on the OSHA website, or you can choose to simply have an independent event for the same “fall prevention” purpose. As long as you are using the time to promote awareness of the risks associated with a fall and training employees on fall prevention, your event is “on the mark.” In fact, something as basic as a short, focused “Toolbox Talk” at each worksite should suffice.

After the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moved to dismiss two counts of the farm trade associations’ claims in their four-count complaint earlier this month, the American Soybean Association and Plains Cotton Growers Inc. filed an amended complaint in the District of Columbia District Court. The lawsuit concerns the associations’ challenge to the EPA’s October 2020 registration of the herbicide dicamba.
According to Tuesday’s filing, “some aspects of the registration decision are problematic for Growers, who depend on reasonable, consistent access to dicamba for use on [dicamba-tolerant] soybeans and cotton.” The original complaint challenged the EPA’s application restrictions, Endangered Species Act (ESA) buffers, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) buffers, and sought an order judicially validating the ESA’s “no effect” findings on certain ESA listed species and critical habitat.
