Construction Photos and Long Term Records Retention
Carol Hagen
JANUARY 14, 2013
Construction photographs are collected on every one of your projects. For years we’ve taken pics with our digital cameras and smartphones, but the challenge has been how to organized these. A file of jpeg1, jpeg2, etc taken at jobsite X on a given date really doesn’t help if a legal claim crops up a few years from now.

It’s a rare sunny January day here in Seattle as I write this, so I’m filled with a sense of “anything is possible” as we start into 2013.

JANUARY 15, 2013
As I recently wrote , one of the best ways OSHA could help improve safety would be to update its own regulations, some of which are decades out of date.
