Safe work practices and personal protective equipment are recommended after Hurricane Matthew leaves destruction and flooding across the Eastern United States.
Severe flooding, power outages and storm damage were left after the hurricane came up the Florida coast and battered the Carolinas the first week of October.
Numerous counties are reporting damage into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and cleanup could take weeks, according to news sources. OSHA is reminding emergency workers, employers and the public at-large about the potentially serious hazards that come with storm cleanup and urges “vigilance”.
